I think I saw this video quite a while ago. (Sorry, didn't actually check it out TBH.) In perusing a few hundred stories from the distant past I gradually came to understand there's not any real upper limit to how hyperbolic or simply fantastical such stories might be. Unlike the average person I don't use this to dismiss the claims outright, but rather move toward suggesting that ancient writings in and of themselves are of little use in most cases for assessing the possibility that the stories were even intended to be taken seriously as historical accuracy. Today, people present such stories as though they appeared within the context of the modern day: asking the implied or often explicit question of why some ancient source would embellish the account. My short answer is that dragons and their ilk are generally unreal.
