From sacred serpent to monster: The dragon’s true origin

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. Explore more legends in the    • Beasts, Legends & Monsters – Mythical Crea...   and the    • Asian Myths: Gods, Spirits, and Legendary ...   playlists. 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. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 ⏳ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 00:39 The First Dragon 05:13 The Great Migration 19:58 East to West 12:48 Primordial Dragons 14:14 Chaos and the Serpent 00:00 TEASER / TRANSITION TO NEXT VIDEO 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 📚 SOURCES & CREDITS: • Headless snake deposits in Magdalenian caves (Montespan, Tuc d’Audoubert), INORA No. 74 (2016) • San “rain-snake” interpretations at Sehonghong (Lesotho) — Arts (MDPI) ethnographic overview; plus Journal of African Archaeology (2022) on snakes, rain, and reins imagery. • Xishuipo (Puyang) Neolithic shell mosaic “dragon & tiger” (Tomb M45), Yangshao culture — site overview and museum records. • Hongshan jade “pig dragons” and Early Chinese dragon imagery — UNESCO feature (2025). • “Four Dragons” river-origin folktale (context for rain-bringing dragons). • Proto-Indo-European serpent/dragon-slaying motif (Chaoskampf lineage). 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🌟 Support the Channel →    / @mysteriesofmythology   🛒 Merch → https://mysteries-of-mythology-shop.f... 🔔 Subscribe to Mysteries of Mythology →    / @mysteriesofmythology   〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🌍 Full Playlists: 🔱    • Greek Myths Explained   🪶    • Myths of the Americas   🐉    • Beasts, Legends & Monsters – Mythical Crea...   ⚔️    • Norse Myths: From Creation to Ragnarök   🦉    • Celtic Myths & Legends   👹    • Asian Myths: Gods, Spirits, and Legendary ...   〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🔗 Connect With Me: 🌐 Website: https://mysteriesofmythology.com/ 💬 Chat on Discord:   / discord   📱 Instagram:   / mysteriesofmythology   #dragons #mythology #rainSnake #ChineseDragon #NorseMythology #OriginsOfDragons #Jormungandr #Apep #mysteriesofmythology
