Fighting Dragons: A Comparative Mythology

Dragons are everywhere in mythology, including religious mythology. In this video we will look at the main dragon myth that circulates around the largest religions, dragon stories such as Saint George and the Dragon, and then compare two of the most well known serpents, by looking at the Rig Veda and Enuma Elis, Tiamat and Vrtra, to see what would happen if they fought each other.

And for those who read this, I had to put a picture of Anzu up instead of Tiamat, as there are no decent pictures I could use, and you all keep telling me to put more pictures in my videos. It is sometimes really hard to do this accurately when discussing pre-history and so you sometimes have to have some editorial leeway.
