From Sacred Serpent to Monster: The Dragon’s True Origin

الوصف

The dragon didn’t start as a fire-breathing castle-burner — it began as a sacred water serpent tied to rain, crops, and survival. In Part 2, we trace that path from ancient Africa to China, Europe, and beyond, and ask: what was the first “dragon” really like?Explore how a helpful rain-snake became a world-serpent, a river-maker, and finally the monster heroes had to slay.Across rock art, archaeology, and old stories, we find a core pattern: a giant serpent linked to storms and rivers that later splits into “good” and “evil” forms. This episode keeps the language simple and the evidence front-and-centre — so you can see how one idea travelled the world and changed shape while it moved.
