While I work on the next full episode, I wanted to share one of my favorite deep dives into a topic that's fascinated historians, theologians, and mystery lovers for centuries.What if dragons were never just myths?In this bonus episode, we explore the possibility that dragons once existed and why so many ancient civilizations, historical figures, and biblical texts describe them in remarkable detail.We discuss the dragon accounts surrounding Alexander the Great, Apollonius of Tyana, and St. George, along with the fascinating story found in the Book of Daniel, where a dragon is slain in Babylon. We also examine Leviathan, the massive sea creature mentioned throughout the Bible, and ask whether these descriptions have been dismissed too quickly as mere mythology.We also explore the theory that some ancient mountains and unusual rock formations could be connected to legends of petrified dragons, and why cultures across the world preserved stories of enormous dragon-like creatures long before they had contact with one another.Were dragons real?Ancient dragon stories from around the worldAlexander the Great and dragon legendsApollonius of Tyana's dragon encounterSt. George and the dragonThe Dragon of Babylon in the Book of DanielLeviathan and sea dragons in ScriptureWhy nearly every civilization has dragon storiesCould history have gotten dragons wrong?🎙️ The Deepest Rabbit Hole explores biblical mysteries, hidden history, ancient civilizations, conspiracies, archaeology, and the unexplained.
