The thing about the dragon being invented by many different cultures can be explained. I think that it's because each of these cultures combined things that we are universally afraid of into one creature, which really isn't that much of a crazy coincedence because us humans like to imagine things that scare us. Humans are universally afraid of fire, the scales and the dragon's long neck make it appear snake-like, the dragon's claws and sharp teeth remind us of predators and the fact that they are big and can fly means they can pick us off easier.
So I don't believe dragons ever existed. It's just the result of universal fears being combined togethor in several different cultures.
Humans and dinosaurs, did they live at the same time?
