Since I'm of a fan of the show Game of Thrones and since season 4 premieres today, I decided to do a post about dragons because dragons are involved in the show. Dragons have been in mythology for centuries. The belief in mythical dragons have existed for centuries. Studies show this belief came from a combination of real animals and, surprisingly, a comet. For example, one of the concepts of the dragon originated from a Chinese alligator. The Chinese believed dragons were close to water. Chinese alligators being aquatic lead to this belief. A comet is considered because comets are spectacular and bizarre, just like dragons. Initially the concept behind the dragon was the same, but it took on many different forms over time.
