Old Guestbook

One of the things I must comment on though, is something you had stated as far as the plausibility of the existence of dragons. All of your explanations made use of the normal course of evolution but many of Earth's creatures have not followed what scientists consider to be a normal course. The wyvern explanation, albeit informative, left out one possibility on the wings. You stated that it would be more apt to have to have feathers as that has been the way of evolution but you left out a creature of flight that doesn't have feathers. The bat, although a warm-blooded mammal, is a creature of flight with leathery wings. It has no need of feathers to assist it in it's journeys through the sky. If the wyvern's wings were such as those of a bat, then it is indeed a plausible explanation.

Again, I do compliment you on a wondeful website that is not only informative, but quite artistically invigorating. I look forward to many happy returns to it.

But why then are dragons such a powerful symbol to humans? And why do nearly all cultures have stories and legends of dragons. Cultures many of which did not have contact with each other. The Chinese have dragon deities which they introduced to the japanese but the japanese did have dragons in their legends before that. The Aztecs have their serpent dragon god Quetzacoatl, the babylonians dipicted dragons in their carvings along with real creatures like lions and bulls, greek legends have the hydra and other creatures, even the bible has leviathan, a giant sea dragon and supposedly the christian god's pet.

I believe that dragons once existed on earth in partial physical state if not total.. and soon retreated to the astral plane because humans are so nasty :) The astral plane co-exists with the physical plane. Dragons live there, as dragons are extremely wise and powerful beings.. okay now society kind of teaches out of us the acceptance to the astral plane and stuff, from when we are little kids we are taught to lock out things like that. But they are still there though most people ignore them. And dragons are there too, and sometimes, if you are able to relax and open your mind and all that you can talk to them, or hear them, or see them or feel them.

Whew okay I'm being yakky but my point is.. I don't believe dragons existed (or exist) as a physical animal on earth, I believe they are ancient beings with power far beyond our capabilities that don't always share the exact realm we know.

Hey well anyway take care everyone :)
