    Dragons. Religion is elaborated and dramatized tales to fascinate (sometimes scare) the people of any time. Scared people are easier to control. Spiritual people are harder to scare. The myths of dragons are sometimes extremely scary.

    I saw a documentary that included dragons once... somthing like "Several cultures have legends of the same thing, that weren't in contact with each other"

    It ended up being a bust. Psychologically, dragons are a combination of early predators, and that's why early humans were scared of them. It was snakes, birds, and something else I can't remember...

I think it was called The Good News Bible, the name of the book was caled Bel and the Dragon.
    The book of Bel and the Dragon is from the Apocrypha, which is included in the Roman Catholic Bible, but not in the Protestant Bible. (Protestants argue that the Apocrypha is not part of the Old Testament because it was not regarded as Scripture in the Jewish tradition and was not written in Hebrew like the rest of the Old Testament.)

    It is also important to bear in mind that dragons in the Bible may be intended symbolically. Certainly the dragon in Revelation represents Satan, and even the dragon-like Leviathan, which is described in the book of Job along with many real animals, is described in the Psalms (Ps 74:14) as having many heads, which doesn't sound like a literal animal.

    You are probably thinking of Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

    This is actually a "what if" documentary: as it says in the introduction, "What if we found a body?" It is fictional, even though it's in the format of a documentary.

    If dragons did exist, they would just be a particular kind of dinosaur that survived to have contact with humans. So I would think the real question is whether there were ever any winged, fire-breathing dinosaurs.
