The Latin phrase “hic sunt dracones” (“here be dragons”) echoes the practice of medieval cartographers to denote dangerous or unexplored territories by placing illustrations of mythological creates, such as dragons, on globes and maps. The origin of the dragon myth is obscure but it is beyond doubt that the concept of dragons evolved independently in cultures across the world, including in China and in Europe. If you look closely, dragons abound in the landscape; it’s not hard to see why the mythology was created. These images depict various landscapes which resemble dragons, or parts of dragons.
