5 REAL Dragon Sightings from Chinese History

[@OlatunjiAkinsola]

Dragon truly exist .It is called atakooro in Yoruba language. My dad told me a story about a dragon that used to be seen in Idanre in Ondo State of Nigeria up to the 1950s. He said he does not know what happened to the animal because know one has seen it for years. But the story of atakooro still exist among our elders in the Yoruba race of Nigeria. DRAGON IS REAL.

[@gilberttapiaiii8192]

Atakooro

[@KrazeDiamond]

Not the same as the Chinese dragon which has been part of the Chinese culture and history for over 4000 years with countless written records and art illustrations.

[@kylehutchinson5016]

They are just dinosaurs. They didn’t live millions of years ago.

[@vqbl795]

​@@kylehutchinson5016Yep. The word "dinosaur" wasn't invented until the 1800's. Everybody all over the world referred to all types of large scaled beasts (land, sea, and aerial types) as one word or another for "dragon" in their own language. So yeah. It is indeed very possible back in the day that people here and there caught glimpses of these "large beasts" before they completely became extinct.

[@Hazel_Kave]

God bless you bruvva this is the truth! Dragons were killed and giants too// magick is real and i have proof

[@joellns]

I was an eye witness when I was around 5 years old. I was playing along the corridor along and suddenly there was a strong wind and it started to rain. My grandma came out of her house looking for me, then pointed to the sky saying: see there's a dragon in the clouds. I looked up and saw a snake like creature (black outline) gliding within the clouds. Below the sight was an small river about 20 metres away from my position. Then my grandma quickly pulled me into the house. My memory of the image may be getting frail but I'm sure that's something extrodinary that I'll never forget.

[@AdriansCreatures]

Yea ok lol 😆 your grandma drugged you

[@johnyan836]

My grandma told us she and many of her coworkers saw a black and red dragon in southern Taiwan in around 1949-1950 when they worked in a sugar cane field. The dragon was quite far away but can be seen clearly "floating" upward in the sky. Soon the sky turned dark and wind blew hard, followed by very heavy rain.

In Serbian folklore belief in dragons is very detailed. There are beings similar to dragons and are their nemesis called "Ale(plural)", and actually they fly in the sky and bring storms and hails, as well as it is said here for Chinese dragons. Dragons are connected to the rivers and can live in old trees, but they can also turn into a man, and like that take themselves a wife and have an offspring. This offspring are usually grown to become great heroes, and have some strange bodily characteristics, like scales on some part of their body, a tail, or strength and magical powers, and usually the word Zmaj (dragon) in their name. There is a verse in one old Serbian epic poem it goes something like: wherever are there Serbian heroes, many of them are born of dragons, and many of them are brought up by vilas (fairies).

[@lf697]

I'm Hmong (Asians from Gran Torino) and we pronounce dragon as Zaj, that's very close to Zmaj. If you type in Zaj on youtube you'll see plenty of Dragon stories and thumbnail pop up

[@AlexDino303]

When I was a young kid, my late grandmother used to tell me about a villager's experience of seeing a massive, snake-like creature that had once slipped across the river near her village. The storms and severe rain had at that point caused the riverbed to flood. Around that same time, that villager noticed a massive, snake-like creature moving quickly down the river from the mountainside, which caused the village to flood. The mountain was there up until today, but no one has seen that creature again.

Dragons and dinosaurs are the same animals Job 40:6 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm: 7 “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. 8 “Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself? 9 Do you have an arm like God’s, and can your voice thunder like his? 10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty. 11 Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low, 12 look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand. 13 Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave. 14 Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

My brothers were born in the year of the dragon. One fine day when they were 8-9 years old, they saw it hovering in the sky in a space of a few days. So my mom bought them to the temple to do some prayers. I find no reason to doubt their experiences as I had saw some other miracle years later as an adult too.

Hi Alexa, good luck with your degree. My biggest advice from my 4 years in the Chinese department at SOAS: flashcards. Biggest weapon in remembering 100s or over 1000 Chinese characters. If you use software like iFlash you can make triple sided ones, then you can test on looking at english and writing the character on paper and checking its right, looking at character than saying the pinyin and english etc...

I bought a small acreage in Texas back in the early 2000s and ran into many snakes there. One day, I saw a horned toad with the body of a snake. When it ran away from me it moved faster than any horned toad or any snake that I have ever seen. Also the fat part of the body was a little larger than a normal horned toad, but the snake like part was about 2 feet long. If this thing was any bigger, it could look somewhat similar to the dragons in the pictures. When I tell people about this thing, I know they think Im full of crap. Im kinda glad it ran off as fast as it did, because I definately would have killed the thing if it took too long.

[@chanj329]

DAMN this sounds like a fascinating sight!! i wished you took a picture of it. strange duo because i have a tattoo of a toad and snake and something compels me to believe that the evolution of those two combined will be* a dragon, which is my next final tattoo. thanks for sharing!

From North East India here,in the rural village,in one area my dad owns 400 acres of farm land which he inherited from his forefathers, during my grandparents days they use it to cultivate rice and fruit and I heard stories of a "guardian spirit" who resides there,a 200 ft long "python" which is unlike any other python because he/she looks different from the Indian and Burmese pythons which are natives, the strange thing is apparently that guardian spirit have "horns" and wears "ear peice" ,that looks similar to wheat/rice stalks .. if he/she visits that area will have a bountiful harvest ,today dad forsook rice cultivation and planted rubber trees instead... That thing only visited once... He/she left a mark on the field, we are Christians so we don't believe in that "guardian spirit" thing ofc... But we know that a different species of python,"a horned python" with weird markings exist...

My mother claimed that she, and a bunch of other local people in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, eye witnessed a Chinese dragon clawing and wrapping around a factory chimney not long after Japanese surrender after WWII. Every time she would describe the movement and how the scales of the dragon moved vividly as if it was yesterday. She said that the the dragon ascended into the sky and clouds by wriggling and twirling it's body. But, we, of course, do not quite believe her as we have not seen with our own eyes.

When I was around 12 years of age, I saw gigantic intertwining scaly underbelly of snake(s), climbing over one another and encircling the entire sky. I didn’t see their heads, tails or legs though. Those bodies were grey in colour and definitely celestial in nature. I think they looked more like what is known to Hindus as Nagas or serpents. The dragon could be an embellished adaptation of the Nagas.

Researchers and historians today are looking at the possibility of "dragon" being synonymous with "dinosaurs". (Just go look up the modern day debates on this. Too lazy to find the sources, but I'm pretty sure you can Google this topic). Up until the middle ages, there was no term for "dinosaur". Scaled beasts were referred to by writers, hunters, and travelers alike as dragons... It is possible that all over the world, the case would have been similar. It's just that the societies all have different ways of treating and perceiving them. In the case of most Asian territories, they are associated with power and divinity.
