Could Dragons Have Been Dinosaurs?

We all know about dragons and have grown up with them in story books and movies but were they real and if so could they have been Dinosaurs.

This is another myth that I believe has much truth behind it and now there seems to be proof that these dragons that we know of today were Dinosaurs but they did not breath fire of the such that was just added in to make them most magical just like the unicorns being all powerful and magical.

All of the lands on the Earth has legends of dragons. Archeologist have went all over talking to these people and listening to what kind of dragon they had and the description that has been given most of them have been shown a picture of the creature that was described to them and the pictures were that of dinosaurs. They would say yes that is our creature for sure

Many art work, carvings, figurines as well drawings show what we know as Dinosaurs, they did not just resemble them but looked identical. It is always said that man was not around during the Dinosaurs period, although with all that is said and proof this could not be true because how could they have been able to draw such creatures and in such details.
Man and dinosaurs foot prints have been found close to one another and dates to be the same time as well.

Even with that being said there is some thing even more of proof that shows that man kind was here at the same time when the dinosaurs were. The Bible itself speaks of these creatures.

“Dinosaur” Names, Then and Now

Name and date first written in the Bible

Scientific Name (the spelling maybe off just a little but this is the best translators have been able to come up with) and date the name appeared

tanniyn (dragon) before 1400 BC dinosaur 1841 AD
behemoth before 1400 BC brachiosaurus 1903 AD

The animals that are described in the Bible are that of nothing that we have on earth today.

In Job chapter 40 and 41 it says:

Job 40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

Job Chapter 41
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan Ps. 74.14 ; 104.26 · Is. 27.1 with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? Wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? Rom. 11.35 Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 By his sneezings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling stones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

We have no animals that has a tail that is any thing like a ceder tree so this could only be talking of dinosaurs and sea creatures of the sort. The dinosaurs are said to been killed out by an asteroid but it might have been the flood that God sent down to take out all that he made for he was disgusted with all but Noah and his family. But here is another question how did these beast manage to escape the great flood. Very strange really.

The Thunderbird's are a very well known myth. This was a creature that was started up in North America. It was said that these birds would bring thunder upon their wings and could block the sun out. They could bring storms with them and cause lighting to strike as well as flashes of light coming from their eyes when they blinked that they could even shoot lightning from their eyes. Teeth were said to be within the beak as well.
To me this would sound much like a Pterosaurs ( meaning winged reptiles) besides all of the lighting and things like that but all other things matches up very well I should think.

With just this small bit of info don't this make you think that maybe dragons were really dinosaurs? It does me for sure.
As well as that man and dinosaurs were together. It would also seem that man were able to tame some of these beast as well to do what they needed just as we do today with cows and horses and many other animals.

Just another myth that seems to have lots of truth behind it.

I placed several Pictures here to let you see the ancient drawings of these creatures and that they are dinosaurs. if you type in to Google dragons or dinosaurs you will get all sort of things about both and pictures of both will come up as well for either word you use very strange as well
