O knihe

"A fairy tale is a lie, and in it a hint..." It's a saying embodied in real life. Animals, plants, objects and phenomena of the world around them were deified in ancient times, had a sacral character and therefore in fairy tales they all say, move, spew flames, lightning, etc. It is considered, that dragons (Snakes of Mountains) did not exist, that they were invented in far antiquity. But it is known that people of archaic time simply so did not invent anything, and that saw and heard, about that and spoke, and transferred from mouth to mouth, that became a national narrative tradition (fairy tales, myths, ballads, sagas, etc.). If you look at the icons depicting the struggle of heroes with dragons, you can understand that dragons have paws, body covered with scales, various scaly coverings and excrescences. To this day, there are still flying dragons (Draco), capable of planning a flight thanks to the skin folds on the sides of the body, supported by 5-7 strongly elongated false ribs. The theme "snake fights" - one of the most ancient and widespread themes of a world folklore, it is the Indian Vedas, the Egyptian myth about struggle Mountain with Seth, Siegfried in the Old German epos, in Ancient Russia creation of Snake shafts.
