>nearly every ancient culture wrote about these guys>next to nothing is known about them today>blemmyes AKA headless menI think they’re real. Or at least WERE real at some point in time.
>>39655841>all body, no headAka muscleheads
>>39655841They were talking about baboons
>>39655841
Headmen make way
>>39655841Reminds me of this.
>>39655905No they fucking weren't. If they were talking about baboons, then why didn't they fucking draw baboons then? They drew and wrote about elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, monkeys, so why not baboons?
Imagine getting head from one of these things.
>>39655841Don’t forget the dogmen.
>>39656275That’s Saint Christopher the Canaanite. Apparently his name was badly translated as ‘Christopher the Canine’, hence why he’s depicted as a dog man
>>39655841They're chimps and orangutans.
>>39656286I call bullshit.

>>39656286its also possible that its a christianized depiction of anubis, since anubis was becoming a relatively popular god in the greek world at the time, under the syncretic name hermanubis. i think dogmen comes more from cults that worshiped dogs, like the anubian cult, wearing dog masks

>>39656286this ain't it>>39656325I have seen some posts about the first egyptians writing about a weird people that came at the same time as the moon, are they supposedly them ?
>>39656398Would you like me to post a real photograph I took of them?
>>39656783>>3965584125th hand reports of orangutans

>>39656800Wow. So they forgot that orangatangs have hair. Youre fucking mentally ill.
>>39656824yeah, yeah medieval accounts of fantastic critters are known for accuracyinb4: Actttukaly the term medieval is blah blah blah blah

>>39657260>Chest day must have been crazy.Wait, so the females...
>>39655841>>nearly every ancient culture wrote about these guysLooks more like one culture, really. Started up in ancient Greece, got coopted by the Romans and spread into Europe where the Bestiary writers eventually took them up.
>>39657441Theres a pic of one done by arabs in this thread
>>39655879Fuck off AI sucks
>>39657926this you?
>>39656497That sounds f'n cool. Maybe that's why the association with werewolves and the full moon. This article on St Christopher from an Orthodox perspective is pretty thorough and ties in the concept of dog throughout the Bible. They have stories of the early apostles having dog men as mercenaries. https://orthodoxartsjournal.org/the-icon-of-st-christopher/
