On this episode, we explore the hidden history of Blemmyae and Cynocephali, and their presence in ancient maps, art, and culture. Uncover the possibility that these beings were real and how history has been manipulated to erase them.

This isn't just folklore! Blemmyae and Cynocephali appear in ancient texts from Herodotus to Marco Polo, worldwide—from Africa to India to early America. First accounts date back 2,500+ years. A famous example? St. Christopher as a dog-headed saint. Worldwide correlations show same descriptions and labels used to dismiss them.

Were they real inhabitants of erased realms? Or did someone decide to call them "myth" to hide the truth?
