REALITY BEHIND MYTHOLOGY

Sir,
Mythology is part and parcel of most of the world’s many cultures. The
interesting thing is that many of the world’s cultures share very similar
myths, especially surrounding creation.
The similarities between the creation myths of many native American tribes; the
Celtic tribes of Europe and the Dogon tribe of Mali are a case in point.
But while some myths and legends are really nothing more than mere fables,
others may contain a certain degree of reality in them.
The national symbols of several countries are based on mythical figures, such as
the dragons of China. It is thought that dragons really existed at one point in
time and that they were not literal dragons but were in fact reptilian beings
from the stars, who apparently came to earth thousands of years ago to teach and
to enlighten humanity.
While most people would tend to scoff at the idea of dragons and other so-called
myths, the people of the European country of Romania considered their Emperor
– Vlad – to be a descendent of the dragon race from the stars and aptly
named him Dracula (meaning dragon in the Romanian language).
Another ‘myth’ surrounding Dracula suggests that he was actually a blood
relative of certain members of the British royal family, something which was
actually confirmed by Britain’s Prince Charles, who is actually considered by
many Romanians to be the rightful heir to the Romanian throne. Incidentally,
Prince Charles is also known as the Prince of Wales, and it just so happens that
the national symbol of Wales is also a dragon, which appears on the Welsh flag.
According to many so-called conspiracy theorists, this is due to the fact that
most of the world’s royal families were installed by these beings from the
stars from whom they are believed to have descended. It is interesting to note
that the Bible also mentions the dragon.
