Do you believe that "mythical" beasts once really roamed the Earth?

Question

Like the Snuffeluppaggus?

Answer 1

Our grasp on what a "mythical beast" is changes all the time. Did you know that until 1904 the exstence of the gorrilla was in question? It seemed like bigfoot- there were stories but no real proof. Now the world knows all about gorillas. Ditto the elusive Giant Squid. For ages scientists thought that was just an old sailor's tale, but last month one was caught off the coast of Austraila. Sort of hard to argue with a big, dead mythical animal.

As for the snuffulufugus, they still roam the earth at children's costume parties everywhere. They may never have really existed, but if they exist in your heart, that's all that matters.

Answer 2

Several possibilities:

1. In bad light or without close examination, a manatee could be perceived as a mermaid, and a goat or deer with a broken horn as a unicorn.

2. Humans have a natural urge to exaggerate. So, something small and interesting becomes something big and terrifying. An iguana, for example, can become a dragon after a number of tellings.

3. Fossils often can be seen without digging, so perhaps some dinosaur fossils were found and people tried to imagine what kind of animal would leave such bones.

4. Serial killers have existed throughout history. Their crimes are so brutal that they were often attributed to a beast such as a werewolf or vampire.

So, to answer your question: I don't believe most mythical beasts were 100% made up, but I feel that there is less than 10% of truth in them.

Answer 3

There were once myths of tigers with foot long fangs and elephants covered in hair and with tusks up to twelve feet long. In the late 17th century there was a myth of an animal with the face of a duck the body and tail of an beaver and the poison of a snake.

What is Magick and Mythical today can easily become a scientific fact tomorrow.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

confident, dinosaurs roamed the earth, activity and Jesus the two stated dinosaurs, Jesus even stated cave adult women and men plus the making of people. Christians say they suspect in Jesus, yet they in no way examine the words. activity stated dinosaurs in activity financial disaster 40, and Jesus shows John in Revelation financial disaster 12. yet because of the fact Christians in no way the two to envision the gospels of Jesus, they have in no way won the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of certainty, so as that they are going to in no way understand. Christians have confidence the traditions of their fathers, who say that the earth is 6000 years previous, as a replace of believing Jesus who informed that the international is 5.6 billion years previous. they suspect all those element that Moses informed them, even however Jesus informed them that Moses replaced right into a liar, a thief and a robber. i'm a disciple of Jesus Christ and because i've got confidence in His words I even have executed all that Jesus informed me to do. And for my obedence Jesus has given me greater understanding. Jesus has revealed to me that Dinosaurs roamed the earth 196 million years in the past and that they have got been destroyed by potential of Lucifer the rider of the purple horse who replaced into the super purple dragon, and that Lucifer "created" the Darkness that replaced into on the face of the deep, which God the father forged from heaven whilst God the father "created" the easy from which Lucifer fled. And God the father seperated Himself (the easy) from the Darkness (Lucifer) and it replaced into no longer the 1st day. because of the fact of this in Genesis a million:28 God tells the hot men and lady (cavemen and females) to refill the earth. Jesus speaks of the Dinosaurs in Revelation 12: 4-5 the guy-baby that replaced into gobbled by potential of the super purple dragon replaced right into a dinosaur. For guy is a spirit additionally familiar as adam, the sons of guy are flesh bodies, we've been the dinosaurs, no longer human yet men and girls human beings dinosaurs. and the 1st replaced into continuously lady no longer MALE.
