Noone believes dragons actually breathed fire. However the Egyptian creator god Hu Hu was quite similar to YHWH, he created by breathing. And Hu Hu created the stars, and the Sun was his last creation. Hu Hu created the children of fire you can say, and the Book of the Dead may be an elaboration over the first Creational Day: "In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth and the Earth was empty and void, and darkness was uppon the deep of the ocean. But the Spirit of God hovered above the water. Then God said "Let there be Light!" and Light came."

The Dragon is one of the constellations on the Northern hemisphere. It is situated with it's mouth pointing at Hercules which can indeed look like a pregnant woman like the one mentioned in Revelation as a great sign in Heaven. Within he stumac is a highly unstable star. Above "her" head is the constellation of the "Serpent Bearer" consisting of 12 stars. On both sides of the "Serpent Bearer" you can see the Serpent itself. It is really two constellations, for it is divided into the Serpent's Head and the Serpent's Tail. Just beside the Serpent's Tail, you find the Eagle. And above that if you follow the milky way, you find the Swan or the great Cross. If you then follow the cross along the "river" of the Milky Way to the other side of the horizon, you find Orion, a constellation not unlike Hercules or the "Pregnant Woman", but without the big stumac. However, Orion's bellybutton is the Orion nebulæ where new stars are born, so it could be the other way around too.

The dragon Leviathan was a monster who lived in the Nile. Rahab, another dragon mentioned in the Bible, was a metaphor of Egypt itself. When Ra travelled through the unseen every night he was guarded against the serpent Apep by his saints. The king cobra was the main symbol of Egyptian power. The Ankh cross or the Egyptian cross was called the Key of the Nile, and was originally a physical key held by the king of Egypt who claimed descendance from Ra and Osiris, and this key gave him the power to open the gates of a system of dams and flood the Nile once a year bringing prosperity and fertility to the land along the Nile which was exceptionally green and fertile back then because of this. Since the pharao had this power he was looked up to as a god by his people.

Hope this was of some help....
