Mongolian has water spirits named лус( lus), and Tibetan has water spirits named klu which are The word dragon entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French dragon, which, in turn, comes from the Latin: draco (genitive draconis) meaning "huge serpent, dragon", from Ancient Greek δράκων, drákōn (genitive δράκοντος, drákontos) "serpent". [4] [5] The Greek and Latin term referred to any great serpent, not necessarily mythological. [6] The Greek word δράκων is most likely derived from the Greek verb δέρκομαι ( dérkomai) meaning "I see", the aorist form of which is ἔδρακον ( édrakon). [5] This is thought to have referred to something with a "deadly glance," [7] or unusually bright [8] or "sharp" [9] [10] eyes, or because a snake's eyes appear to be always open; each eye actually sees through a big transparent scale in its eyelids, which are permanently shut. The Greek word probably derives from an Indo-European base * derḱ- meaning "to see"; the Sanskrit root दृश् ( dr̥ś-) also means "to see".

The Chinese dragon ( simplified Chinese: 龙; traditional Chinese: 龍; pinyin: lóng) is the highest-ranking creature in the Chinese animal hierarchy. Its origins are vague, but its "ancestors can be found on Neolithic pottery as well as Bronze Age ritual vessels." [59] A number of popular stories deal with the rearing of dragons. [60] The Zuo zhuan, which was probably written during the Warring States period, describes a man named Dongfu, a descendant of Yangshu'an, who loved dragons [60] and, because he could understand a dragon's will, he was able to tame them and raise them well. [60] He served Emperor Shun, who gave him the family name Huanlong, meaning "dragon-raiser". [60] In another story, Kong Jia, the fourteenth emperor of the Xia dynasty, was given a male and a female dragon as a reward for his obedience to the god of heaven, [60] but could not train them, so he hired a dragon-trainer named Liulei, who had learned how to train dragons from Huanlong. [60] One day, the female dragon died unexpectedly, so Liulei secretly chopped her up, cooked her meat, and served it to the king, [60] who loved it so much that he demanded Liulei to serve him the same meal again. [60] Since Liulei had no means of procuring more dragon meat, he fled the palace. [60] Mongolian folk religion, Tengerism or Shamanism, includes some mention of dragons.

Dragons were also identified with the Emperor of China, who, during later Chinese imperial history, was the only one permitted to have dragons on his house, clothing, or personal articles.

One little apron is folded over and stitched to another at the top so that the plates can be securely attached. Thus, the plates provide homogeneous protection, and identical armor is created for their horses and soldiers. The armor is so shiny that a man can look directly at his reflection.” Ystoria Mongalorum, by Giovanni da Pian del Carpine (1185–1252). Additionally, the shape is not a C-shaped dragon with a curled body, but a spread out image of a dragon.

Something’ Ancient And Strange Was Found Hidden Inside A Huge Underground Structure – What Happened Next Is A Mystery As a result of the Mongol invasions, their lamellar armor became popular in other nations, including China (such as the Yuan Dynasty, 1271–1368) and the Middle East (such as the Ilkhanate, 1256–1335).

Jones (anthropologist) suggests a hypothesis that humans, like monkeys, have inherited instinctive reactions to snakes, large cats, and birds of prey. [14] He cites a study which found that approximately 39 people in a hundred are afraid of snakes [15] and notes that fear of snakes is especially prominent in children, even in areas where snakes are rare. [15] The earliest attested dragons all resemble snakes or have snakelike attributes. [16] Jones therefore concludes that dragons appear in nearly all cultures because humans have an innate fear of snakes and other animals that were major predators of humans' primate ancestors. [17] Dragons are usually said to reside in "dark caves, deep pools, wild mountain reaches, sea bottoms, haunted forests", all places which would have been fraught with danger for early human ancestors.
