The Bible describes the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt through the Red sea, according to comandir.com. The sea, at the behest of a higher power stepped aside, conceding to Moses and the Jews. And when the Egyptian soldiers rushed after them, closed again. So the legend goes. Scientists have long believed that the Bible described events just a figment of the imagination of authors, got a confirmation the described case parted the Red sea. At its bottom were found the skeletons of about a thousand soldiers in full military gear.

Then the wind died down and the Egyptian soldiers drowned, unable to pass.

Described in the Bible Sodom and Gomorrah has long been considered generally non-existent fictional cities. But archaeologists had found the collapsed two cities, similar to the biblical description. And destroyed they are, it seems, was a fire and brimstone coming from the heavens.

Properties of dragons from different places of the planet was also similar: they fly; breathe fire; it had scales that would be impossible to penetrate with spears and arrows, and heads, chopped off in battle, grow them again. Judging by such similar descriptions, it would be possible to accept the existence of these amazing creatures. But where they suddenly disappeared; why never found their remains. It is a mystery that is not solved.
