Evidence of dragons
Have you ever thought to look around and see all the evidence of dragons. I mean think about it, every single culture has their own version of the dragon, yet they are old tales. They are so old that these cultures could have never met and shared their tales. also the Komodo dragon is a living dragon that we have all heard of.

The Dragon Chronicles
I have just bought a fabulous book called 'The Dragon Chronicles'
It is in the form of a diary/journal of an ancient wizard, who goes on a journey at the request of his dying king. It is a really exciting account of his encounters with various dragons who have become malevolent because of a spell cast by an evil wizard who has been banished from the kingdom. The design and layout of the book makes it appear is if it really is an ancient book that has been recently unearthed. The cover looks like leather with metal hinges and locks. The pages are made to look like parchment, and the text looks like ancient hand written script. The artwork is is great. There is lots of variety in the artwork and in addition to the full page paintings of dragons, there are blueprints of ships and weapons, photos of ancient artefacts, and what appears to be a fossilized baby dragon that has been imprinted on a page.
Very interesting storyline that draws you into the adventure. Highly recommended! I got it on Amazon, as it was much cheaper than in the shops!
I am hoping that they make a film of it as it would be great!

Hey, Silver, what happened to your avatar?
And as for evidence, people have been arguing your point, dragonrider, for a long time. If anyone's going to believe in dragons because of the evidence that there already is, then they probably already do.

First off. the Komodo dragon is called a "dragon" for the same reason the american mountain lion is called a "lion". It is because early explorers seeing this creature tried to come up with a name for it and a large land walking lizard is dragon like. The truth is it is just a large monitor lizard.
(Side note the mountain lion is called that because the exporer who first reported them thought they were lions.)
And the evidence you are seeing so strongly is very weak. Yes, a large number of cultures have come up with them, but they are varied in how the look and interact. I need stronger evidence than drawings and myths. Trust me I will be happy if it is true, but I have learned to check and recheck on things before guessing on it.
But along with looking at the dragon evidence you are seeing, look at all of the other creatures and things thought up of around the world.

It was a very large let down made my Animal Planet. It is a "what if" show on "What if we found a real, but dead, dragon?". So it showed a anthropologist doing an autopsy on this body that was found in an ice cave, that was a dragon. They even made up a town and a church what had the "story" of the dragon. It also had a half-@$$ed (sorry about that one) idea on how the dragon got around the world. The only part it had good was the computer graphics they used to make the dragons. Which they spent more time on then finding better ideas, actors and script. And trust me you don't want to watch the DVD of it, the anthropologist speaks in a 1950's privet eye dialog. If you want to watch something watch the thing I posted about, I will keep an eye out for if they will play it again.

(you are just trying to get me going, arn't you?)
There was nothing like that on anything, the only bones they have found are known dinosaur bones. And as far as I know they have never found scales, can you post a link to that please.
