The 17,000 Year Old European Dragon Ritual, and its ancient mythological origins
Within a number of caves in southern France skeletons have been found, surrounded by art work, that suggest these skeletons were let here by humans, and for a particular purpose. For here we may have evidence of the oldest dragon ritual in Europe, depicting a dragon slaying myth.
We'll discuss the findings at montespan cave, the tuc d'audoubert bison and the tuc d'audoubert snake, and mythology of the Paleolithic period. And we can see if mythology unleashed a ritual.
