I got a book from barnes & noble about this like 25 years ago that seemed like a good historical intro to various world dragon myths but then they concluded with “hey maybe all these coincidences mean dragons were real” and I’m like cmon man

So sad, that. I think there's something interesting in what the dragons represent to the cultures that makes them converge in a way. A force of nature, a consequence to inaction, a representative of unchecked greed. I think the lizard aspect is leftover generational trauma re: predators

not proof there were actual dragons. My gullible tween self believed a fictionalized documentary about frozen dragon remains being found, and got bullied hard for it at the time
