Uroborus (also known as Uroboros or Ouroboros) is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or a dragon swallowing its own tail, forming a circle with its body. It has been used throughout history to depict many things, but most of the time it symbolises primordial unity, the endless cycle of time and the universe. Uroborus was very important in religious and mythological symbolism and was frequently used in alchemy illustrations. In the 19th century it was interpreted by some psychologists like Carl Gustav Jung as having a certain influence on the human psyche. The earliest "uroborus"-type dragons appeared in China during the Hongshan culture (4700-2200 BC). In the Mediterranean area, they first appeared in Ancient Egypt around 1600 BC.
