According to the dinosaur heritage, Xu and American scholar Hayes argue that the concept of dragon should be the memory of giant reptile dinosaurs by ancient ancestors, or that ancestors worshipped dragons because they were afraid of dinosaurs. The dragon, the most primitive ancestor recognized by the ancients, may still be a dinosaur. The ancients regarded reptiles with four legs, thin neck and long tail, which looked like snakes, cows and tigers as dragons. This may be the dinosaur image that the ancients saw and described at that time. Maybe it was the ancients.

It is said that the dragon-shaped rock paintings unearthed in China are 10000 years ago, the dragon-shaped sculptures in Inner Mongolia are 8000 years ago, the painted pottery with dragon patterns unearthed in Baoji is 7000-8000 years ago, and the Babylonian history is 5000 years. They should be descendants of dragons! The history of dragons predates that of the Yellow Emperor. If you recognize foreign ancestors mechanically, at least show some evidence, okay? That's funny!
