Project Gutenberg 2020-04-16 Public domain in the USA. 152 Bommeli, R. (Rudolf) 1859 1926 Bommeli, Rudolf Riesen und Drachen der Vorzeit. Geschichte der Erde, Dritter Teil Produced by the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Riesen und Drachen der Vorzeit. Geschichte der Erde, Dritter Teil" by R. Bommeli is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the fascinating realms of paleontology and earth history, particularly focusing on giants and dragons of the prehistoric world, as it investigates various extinct species and their characteristics. The beginning of the text establishes the premise that ancient myths of giants and dragons might be rooted in real extant creatures that once roamed the Earth. With an emphasis on a comparative analysis of past and present creatures, Bommeli discusses the possible origins of legends dedicated to great beings, examining their evolution and sizes, particularly emphasizing how giant beings, including massive reptiles and dinosaurs, fed into folklore. Additionally, the author hints at the connection between ancient narratives and the discoveries of fossils that have shaped our understanding of prehistoric life.
