To repeat the main point of the previous post, it is overwhelmingly clear that cultures in Europe, America, Mesopotamia and China share common iconography and did not develop independently, children could spot the similarities.

The first slide is most relevant. Creatures from China, Mesopotamia and America all share similar horns; swept back horns with two main tuffs, most curling or circular at the ends. It's also worth remembering that these are all dragons and dragons don't exist. So cultures that are not supposed to have met were are all depicting dragons with the same horns, not to mention the other dragons features. If you look at the horns of actual deer they are not curled or rounded at the ends, this is a design choice.

The Fleur De Lis is another royal symbol and this time it is known to originate from Mesopotamia, at least the ones' from France. However, similar Fleur De Lis designs are again found throughout cultures. Egypt and Ukraine are less similar but are nonetheless royal symbols with this three-part design and bulb-like bulge at one end, the Ankh also represents life as a flower would.

The Olmec Fleur De Lis looks exactly the same as the French Fleur De Lis, it would be very strange for this abstract symbol to emerge independently, it makes sense that it didn't emerge independently but found it's way to America in the same way that the dragons did.

Dragon tails are worth observing given that no creature has a scaled, feathered tail, this is a shared invention across cultures.

Dragons/snakes encircling red circles is an incredibly specific scene and most clearly is shared between Egypt and China, this cannot be coincidence, the flag of Japan is also a red circle.

The crested helmet design again is an incredibly specific design choice found across America, Mesopotamia and Europe.

I could have gone further because we see the same sun and red-dot symbolism in India, as well as similar dragon and snake designs. There are also dragons in Greek myths and in Africa which again share common attributes. There are also various myths through the world that don't relate to dragons, snakes or suns but describe people arriving and sharing agriculture. I didn't cover these but it's not actually necessary.

A shared origin is not in question. Denying this is akin to denying that the world is warming up a bit, or that the world is round, or questioning whether humans really landed on the moon, it just stagnates discussion. If you can't see the links, you're a moron. 

As per the previous post the only question is how and when these cultures shared an origin, whether this happened tens of thousands of years ago and that humans are simply really good at retaining icons, or whether where was a more recent connection that could also explain the global rise of agriculture in 7000 BC, I think the latter and I think people were sailing out into different places with canoe-style boats.
