OTHER HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS REPORTS ON LIVE DRAGONS IN THE LAST 3000 YEARS
We are taught, that dragons don’t really exist, right? They say, no one has ever really seen one, right? And there’s no scientific proof, and all that? Where are the bodies? Well there are millions of bodies! All these “dinosaur” skeletons are Dragon bones! Like the following historic document recounts.
Greek account about Dragons in Gobi Desert
Year: c. 310 Originally appeared in: Piazza Armerina, Sicily
In the seventh century B.C., ancient Greeks made contact with Saka-Scythian nomads who prospected for gold in the Gobi Desert. One of the legends that the Greeks gleaned from this contact was of the griffin, a lion-sized, four-legged, winged animal with a “cruel sharp beak” that ferociously guarded its hoard of gold. (A more cautious account suggested that griffins didn’t guard gold but simply lived near it, and carefully protected their young from all intruders.) This Roman mosaic shows a griffin drawn to a trap whose unfortunate bait is a man. Where did this legend come from? Twentieth-century excavations in the Gobi have unearthed Protoceratops and Psittacosaurus skeletons, both beaked dinosaurs, from the same regions where the nomads prospected.
Greek Historian Herodotus described small flying reptiles in ancient Egypt and Arabia.
The dragon from the movie Shrek makes more sense than Hollywood wants us to believe!
These animals sound amazingly like the small Ramphorhynchus (RAM-foe-RING-kus). They had the same snake-like body and bat-like wings. Many had been killed near the city of Buto (Arabia). He was shown a canyon with many piles of their back-bones and ribs. Herodotus said that these animals could sometimes be found in the spice groves. They were “small in size and of various colors.” Large numbers would sometimes gather in the frankincense trees. When workers wanted to gather the trees’ valuable juices, they would use smelly smoke to drive the flying reptiles away. The well-respected Greek, Aristotle, said that in his time it was common knowledge that creatures like this also existed in Ethiopia. Similar animals (three feet long) were also described in India by the geographer Strabo. [Text courtesy Christiananswers.net] He was also told that “at the beginning of spring, winged serpents fly from Arabia towards Egypt; but that ibises, a sort of bird, meet them at the pass, and do not allow the serpents to go by, but kill them.”
JOSEPHUS ON FLYING SERPENTS OR DRAGONS
Josephus, the Jewish historian who wrote in the 1’st century A.D., had access to ancient written records; before the Roman destruction of Jerusalem. He provides the following account of Moses leading an army from ancient Egypt against the Nubians:
…he gave a wonderful demonstration of his sagacity; for when the ground was difficult to be passed over because of the multitude of serpents, (which it produces in vast numbers, and indeed is singular in some of those productions, … such as are worse than others in power and mischief, and an unusual fierceness of sight, some of which ascend out of the ground unseen, and also fly in the air, and so come upon men at unawares and do them mischief,) … he made baskets, like unto arks, of sedge, and filled them with ibes [ibises], and carried them along with them; which animal is the greatest enemy to serpents imaginable, for they fly from them when they come near them; and as they fly they are caught and devoured by them.

DRAGON SIGHTINGS IN SWITZERLAND
A chapter on dragons appears in the fifth Iter, which details the 1706 voyage. In writing this chapter, Scheuchzer claims that his sole objective was to create a “historical description of the dragons of Switzerland.” He proceeds by accumulating eye - witness accounts, which he then groups into classifications based on canton: the dragons of Lucerne, of Zurich, of Schwytz, etc. He carefully details the circumstances surrounding these stories: the dates and times of the encounters as well as the names and professions of the witnesses. The latter were for the most part common people, often farmers or woodcutters who had come across the dragons during their work in the fields or the forest.
Sometimes, the monster surprised hikers, a soldier, or a traveling merchant at the entryway of a cave or at the turn of a road. These accounts are usually confirmed by a recognized authority, an officer for example, or the village pastor. The ample and detailed descriptions place explicit emphasis on the feelings of surprise, incredulity and terror experienced by the witnesses. This is evident in the following examples taken from chapter VI of Altmann’s work, which he faithfully transcribed from Scheuchzer. The first particularly spectacular case comes from an observation made by Christophe Scheurer, first magistrate of the canton:
On one particular night, when I was contemplating the serenity of the sky, I saw a brilliant dragon take to flight from a corner of the great rock of Mont Pilate; his wings moved with great speed. His torso was long as was his tail and neck. His head was that of a toothed serpent. As he flew, sparks, such as those that fly from a hot iron hit against an anvil by the blacksmith, flew from his body. At first, I believed that it was some meteor, but after some reflection, I was persuaded that it was truly a dragon, as much by its agitation as by the composition of its body .

As you have read in these threads this is denied flat out as well as what the fossil record shows about abrupt appearance.
