DRAGONS ARE ALIVE



I understand what's being said there, I guess I just have a hard time looking at pictures of rotted carcasses, and believing that it's a dragon, OR a dinosaur. The whole set up, context, and meaning behind the site itself is idiotic. The site keeps talking about how "They cover it up". rolleyes.gif Seriously, who are "They", and why are "They" covering anything up. When the "Dinosaur Fish" was caught, Scientists admitted it was a fish they thought to be extinct. I'm not saying that there aren't any "Sea dragons", I have absolutely no idea, but when you get a rotting corpse, and then a picture of what the Scientists said it was, and then some sketch of something completely different, it's a bit hard to swallow.

LMAO!!!.....if you would have looked at the link, and the pictures, they were called "Sea Dragons". Not the kind that fly around like on Harry Potter.

Also I'd like to add this; I don't understand some of you on this site...it's called UNEXPLAINED MYSTERIES for a reason. You come on a site that is going to have strange content to just immediatly say "Dragonz dontz existz man" why don't you think? because you havent seen one? Because mainstream media says they don't? I'm not going to say what I feel about dragons but look shouldnt you have a better approach to this site as hey you know, I don't think they exist, but there is always that chance I could be wrong, and heck maybe they do? Whatever happened to an open-mind nowadays? People are so quick to say "They don't exist" and can give crappy evidence to support why they don't other than they have never seen one. Well thousands of people have and its documented dating back thousands and thousands of years ago. Maybe they don't want to reveal themselves to mankind for certain reasons, like mankind is genuinely not accepting of things that don't look like us and might look "hideous" and they have adapted to avoid humans, maybe like the bigfoot phenomenon. This is a world were truth is stranger than "reality, "believe it or not.

Hi 'Nephilim_Slayer'
You are dead right. It s called Unexplained Mysteries. Not The Stupid People Gathering Place. That is why people that you call closed minded laugh at the ridiculous tales that some expect the masses to believe. Sheesh. Do you think Santa does exist? Have you been to the North Pole and made sure no elves are working their butts off in hiding? Would you mount such an expedition?
There is a big difference between being thourough and just wasting time.
So, thousands of people have seen dragons????? Proliferating untruths does not bolster your case.
Some evidence that does not define the word crappy proving the existance of the so called claimed sightings would be a good start. Might look hideous?? Hide?? A fire breathing massive creature hide from the likes of me?????? COME ON. I know you cannot see me, but trust me on this one, I do not look that stupid. Adapted to avoid humans? Grasping at straws here. Gosh, I am sure the link has only been posted as a conversational point. Surely nobody would even consider putting any stock in that terrible website.

Think hard because, "Dragonz dontz existz man".
And I agree with you, that avatar is disrespectful.

Out of all the rambling, illogical, rude things written on this site, this takes first prize.

1. What evidence could there be to prove that something doesn't exist? It simply doesn't make sense, on any fundamental level. If you believe this so strongly, then please post back and say what evidence you'd accept to believe that dragons are myth?

2. On the left hand side of the keyboard is a button with 'Caps Lock' written on it. Use it.

People are still seeing dragons all the time, only nowadays we no longer use "the D word" because of the ridicule it draws. When the Loch Ness Monster was first described, it was called a dragon. Many responsible people have seen this creature up close, and it still looks like a dragon, only now they call it a plesiosaur.

They are seen in the air, and are now called thunderbirds, or pterodactyls. But when these creatures were seen before 1900 they were Dragons.

Like UFOs they are an unexplained phenomena that have been seen for thousands of years in every corner of the world. They appear in virtually every human religion. The God of the Bible, believed in by billions of people in three major faiths, was originally a Sumerian dragon god that flooded the world. And his brother, another Sumerian dragon God guards eden in the original version of the Eden Story, and would only become the talking snake after centuries of the story's retelling as an oral tradition by illierate hebrew shepherds. .

Are dragons a flesh and blood flying dinosaur that dies, and leaves physical remains? Highly unlikely or we would have found their remains, for they were reported as an everyday occurance for thousands of years, and if they were mortal creatures that have had normal lifespans and died, then we would have found their bones by now. And just because people claime to have killed one in fairytales does not mean this ever actually happened. There are many supernatural things that still defy explanation.

The amusing thing about these Christain dino-dragon websites is that they are trying to push the absurd notion that all of the earths fossil creatures, lived together six thousand years ago and therefore dinosaurs and man lived together.

They are so ignorant of their own religion that they do not realize that the dragons of the bible are NOT dinosaurs, they are heavely creatures. The bible says they sing praises to God, guard his throne, punish sinners on command, etc. But the parts of the Bible they do not agree with, they quietly ignore for the hypocrites they are.

No I never said we should believe the fairytales. There are many very mundane and matter of fact accounts of people seeing dragons throughout history. They seemed to have been such a common sight that they appear in the backgrounds of painting like any bird. Towns in England regularly burnt bones day and night to keep the dragons away. They seem more like nuisances in many accounts. Why go to such effort if they never existed? But most of the dragonslayer fairytales were clearly contrived for a purpose. For example, during the time the real st. George lived, people acknowledged dragons but none are connected with his story. A French novelist invented the dragon slaying story over 1000 years after the real St. George lived.

well in that case dinosours never existed ethier. Doesn't anyone here believe in the possiblity that dragons could be related to dinosours. Which means they probably do or did exist right now or at one point in time. I mean doesn't anyone here think about that? You know in the 1930's I think it was. Was the first dinosour hunt for dino fussils. Nobody at that time believed in dinosours. But then they found fussils and it changed all that. Maybe our scientists are trying to find dragon fussils. It's just we don't want to believe them because they don't have any physical proof like dragon fussils or something. Think about that.

And the same probably goes for aliens and ufos as well. But I won't go there that's awhole nother story. And besides if I was to go there. It would be totally going off topic and what this section of the um is all about. So better stick to just dragons.
capoeiranger
^So, you're actually trying to say that instead a fossilized Iguanodon, we discovered a fossilized dragon? What makes the scientist at that time, even before the information era, rather name the finding as Iguanodon or Dinosaurs rather than simply name it dragon? Why did the long standing-thousand years of legends myth and lore, the dragon wasn't even mentioned? Why don't they claim "We found a dragon's bone!" instead? Perhaps because the dragons never existed?

If so, why all over the world, in every folktales around the world this creature exists? And even with nearly identical characteristics no matter how far the places separated from each other? Just like both Asian and European dragon both carry many identical resemblances? Was dragons really ever existed?

My answer is: I don't know. But one thing I know quite sure: There's no more dragon today. And I'm not talking about komodos or any reptiles. I'm talking about the big, winged, fire breathing behemoth.

Nice post, McKenna. This is exactly my point in my previous post. Dinosaurs were reptilian......Reptoids, just as Dragons are, just like the Archons(aka Reptilian aliens). For those other people who are unfamiliar with Archons, please do a Google search and read what the Great John Lash has to say about them. This info is also found in the ancient Nag Hammadi codices and I believe(but don't quote me) referenced to in the Dead Sea Scrolls. On the topic of dragons, people have seen these dragons recently. One that I know of was a multiple witness sighting.

I think what this boils down to, McKenna, is that more people need to do their homework. I would never ever come on here and say that I know all about cars even though I've never read about them or studied about the parts, but I'd really start listening to a mechanic who has studied and read up about cars for years. He'd know a heck of a lot more about cars than I do.

Thanks for your post. cool.gif

well
i know many ppl arnt gonna listen to what i say
but i think many ppl can agree that the asian lung
out of all the known dragon types
is the most likly to be a real living dragon or was at some point
and if thats the case then we wouldnt find many remands anyway
since they were,or looked, aquatic or semi-aquatic they would most likly have lived in water or close to it like living crocs, and other known reptiles.
and seeing how they were very brightly, and vibrently in colored im guessing the wouls have lived in reefs
and the antenes or feelers, i think they are more of loars than feelers
and the horns, the horns where shaped like those of a stag, or instead of a mix of another animal maby they were used as camo in the reefs to blend with sorrownding coral

anyway
just my thoughts..

I find it most interesting how cultures the world over have images and descriptions of dragon's that are so similar but yet these people would have had no contact with each other..

It always amazes me how painful it is for some to have an open mind.

Hi Mckenna

I haven't been in here awhile, but I still remember the last conversation we had, and I still do not believe that the Government is hiding green reptillian men in underground bases who are about to turn us all into slaves and food to elevate political positions and kill off ayone who "knows" the secret. original.gif
No intention of being mean, but you do have a way of getting..................shall we say carried away?

1930;s - the first dino discovery ey?? LOL

Here are some facts on fossil discoveries. Not quite as entertaining or thought provoking as your information, I know, but still, some mundane facts for you.

QUOTE
The first 3 dinosaur fossils led to the recognition of a new group of animals, the dinosaurs.
The first nearly-complete dinosaur skeleton in New Jersey spurs modern paleontology.

People have been finding dinosaur fossils for hundreds of years, probably even thousands of years. The Greeks and Romans may have found fossils, giving rise to their many ogre and griffin legends. There are references to "dragon" bones found in Wucheng, Sichuan, China (written by Chang Qu) over 2,000 years ago; these were probably dinosaur fossils.

Much later, in 1676, a huge thigh bone (femur) was found in England by Reverend Plot. It was thought that the bone belonged to a "giant," but was probably from a dinosaur. A report of this find was published by R. Brookes in 1763.

The First Dinosaur Fossil Scientifically Described
The first dinosaur to be described scientifically was Megalosaurus. This genus was named in 1824, by William Buckland; Gideon Mantell (not Ferdinand August von Ritgen) assigned the scientific type species name, Megalosaurus bucklandii. Buckland (1784-1856) was a British fossil hunter and clergyman who discovered collected fossils. (Note: the first dinosaur found was Iguanodon, but it was named and described later than Megalodon.)

It was the first dinosaur ever described scientifically and first theropod dinosaur discovered (this is all in hindsight, because the dinosaurs had not yet been recognized as a separate taxonomic group - the word dinosaur hadn't even been invented yet).

The first dinosaur models (life size and made of concrete) were made by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins of England in 1854. The first dinosaur used for amusement was a life-size model of an Iguanodon (made by Hawkins) that was used to house a dinner party for scientists (including Richard Owen) at a major exhibition. The invitations to the party were sent on fake pterodactyl wings. The party took place in London, England, in 1854


Our scientists are looking for any fossil. Finding proof of a dragon would make world news. Can you see how many peole in here want to believe in Dragons?? Wanting to believe is certainly not an issue. Even if they were just like "Reign of Fire" some people would still want a destructive force to wipe out mankind. Any find would be too big to hide, the monetary gain alone would be an offer few could refuse.
You certainly have a way of looking outside the square, way outside. In some ways, you scare me.

I find it most interesting how cultures the world over have images and descriptions of dragon's that are so similar but yet these people would have had no contact with each other..

It always amazes me how painful it is for some to have an open mind.

Yes, you're right! Apart from the fact that they're completely different, the similarities are striking. rolleyes.gif

Personally, I don't believe in dragons, the fire breathing, flying kind. I'd like to believe that some kind of marine reptile existed or that there is a tiny sauropod like creature in the Congo, but so far the evidence just is no there. Most of those pics that are called basking sharks are basking sharks. Scientists have done tests and simulations and checked the DNA of some of them and found they are basking sharks. Some of the others are whales of some sort. Others are logs in lakes. I've seen a log just like that long neck, sticking out of a lake. It had a heavy water logged end and the curving top poked out of the lake bouying up and down and side to side, the wind makes a wake that will then look like it is moving..

I've seen this kind of site before with Giants and with Thunderbirds. They generally ramble and tenously connect as much crap together as they can, disregarding any evidence to the contrary. Entertaining, but not very informative.

Actually, if you knew more about this subject you would know that ANCIENT depictions of Chinese dragons from the times people reported seeing them all the time, and when emperors even imposed punishments on commoners who fraternized with them, look surprisingly like "western" dragons with short bodies and wings. Your oriental dragon is a relatively modern, very stylized version, that has very little in common with ancient chinese winged dragons.

OH MY GOD... i have to be getting like punkd or something.. do all of you people actually believe in dragons? and WHY in the hell should we believe in dragons there is no actual proof at all and NO there is no unicorn

Unicorns were implicitly believed in because people saw actual evidence in the form of Narwhale horns which they believed came from a mammalian quadraped instead of a cetacen. Dragons were implicity believed in becasue thousands of people reported seeing them from the earliest writings of mankind, and even until today, though if in the air they are now "giant birds" or pterodactlyls. And if in the water, they are plesiosaurs. But 200 years ago they would have been called dragons.

Anyone who believes in the God of the Bible, must by default, believe in the dragons of the Bible, for they are there too. They are not mere animals, but are assistants to God that have unwittingly over the centuries been transformed by ignorant Christians into improbable humanoid angels with swans wings sticking out of their backs.
