Were dragons real? Almost every culture on Earth, with no way to compare notes, drew the same scaly, winged, long-necked reptile, and we call it a dragon. The word dinosaur is only 184 years old. So what were the Greeks, the Norse, the Chinese, and the builders of Babylon's Ishtar Gate describing for thousands of years before science invented a new name? This is the case that the dragon was never a fantasy. It was the old word for an animal we now dig out of the ground and call a dinosaur.
