[The claim that “dragons are symbols of Satan” is half right and half wrong.] In the Book of Psalms in the Bible, it is written that the dragons of the depths praise God. One of those dragons merged with Lucifer (Helel), the leader of the fallen angels, and became Satan. Not all dragons are Satan. “AAARGH!!! There are dragon paintings, dragon-shaped pottery, and gilded belt buckles decorated with dragons in museums! Our country has been under Satan's rule since ancient times!! AAAAAARGH!!!!!” Protestant Christians who react like this are idiots who haven't even properly read the Book of Psalms in their own Bible. The claim that Western dragons and Eastern dragons are different is bullshit based solely on looking at the excessively long-bodied, short-legged dragon from Dragon Ball. It's also bullshit spouted by people who have never even looked at the appearance of dragons depicted on Goryeo celadon. Dragons originally had four legs, long tails, and long necks, resembling Brachiosaurus dinosaurs. This appearance can be confirmed on the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, dating to the 6th century BCE. As for the world's earliest depictions of dragons, excluding the bear-dragons and pig-dragons carved from jade around 3500 BCE by the Korean-related Hongshan (Red Mountain) culture (located in the Liaoxi region, west of Manchuria, around present-day Chifeng in Inner Mongolia; the Samguk Yusa seems to mention it as a “mountain without leaves”), dragon-like figures appear simultaneously on Sumerian Uruk clay seals dating to around 3500 BCE and on the stone palette of Narmer, the first pharaoh of Egypt. These can be regarded as the complete early forms of dragons. The Hebrew word for dragon is tannin (תנין), while the Greek word is drakōn (δράκων). Dragons are also frequently called “serpents” (Isaiah 27 and Revelation 12). In Genesis 3, the dragon originally had four legs. However, because of its sin of temptation in the Garden of Eden, it was cursed, lost its legs, and became a serpent that crawled on the ground, a creature condemned to live in the underworld eating dirt and dust. In Sumerian clay tablets, the serpent also appears as the creature that steals the plant of immortality from Gilgamesh. The underworld was called Arali. (The underworld was also called Kur. The word Kur means “mountain” or “east.” It seems that the Sumerians believed that beyond the mountains in the east lay an underworld inhabited by demons and the dead. Demons of the underworld were also called Gallu or Galla.) In Genesis 10, Nimrod, the first Sumerian king and the first Antichrist, had a city called Calneh in Sumer and another city called Calah in the land of Assyria. In Chinese mythology, Chiyou was the leader of demons and races of giants. He was the Son of Heaven of the confederation of nine Dongyi tribes on the Shandong Peninsula, known as Guryeo (“Nine Ryeo,” or Guryeo). He mined metals from a mountain called Gallo and made repeating crossbows, hooked polearms (ge), thrusting spears (mo), and ring-pommel swords. He wore bear skins or tiger skins over his body (Chiyou was the origin of the Fangxiangshi ritual figure). He had ox horns attached to his forehead, an iron forehead, and a copper head. He used a mysterious martial art called Gakjeohui and could simultaneously wield and fire five weapons, making him unrivaled under heaven. Nimrod may have been a vassal of Chiyou, or perhaps he was the same person as Chiyou's rival, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
