Humanoid Creatures Rumored to Lived in the Middle Ages

in medieval writings “monstrous” There are many question marks as to whether this community, which is regarded as However, all the evidence points to the existence of such a people at the time. Although it seems unlikely evolutionarily, Piri Reis’ map is accepted as one of these proofs.

The map of Piri Reis It is highly probable that these creatures with no heads, actually represent a people in Africa!

This community, which is also mentioned in the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493), lived between 600 BC and 300 AD.

In the Nuremberg Chronicle, which is a manuscript in which the history of humanity is told with drawings and we also know as the Bible, these people are mentioned in the south of Egypt, the region stretching along the Nile River to Sudan. African people, a nomadic kingdom in Nubia (also called Nubia or Nubia) they are said to represent.

However, Mandeville, who gives the most detailed information about them, is unlike Africa. in Southeast Asia Claims to be a people living in the Andaman Islands.

The famous English traveler of the 14th century, John Mandeville, is one of the people who talk about this community.

of Mandeville For pilgrims to Jerusalem his travel book, which he deals with, acaibü’l creation He talks about mysterious creatures that he sees as interesting, such as the Blemmyae people, known as our subject. He also says the following about this people whose faces are on their bodies:

“On the other hand, there is an ugly people who have no head and whose eyes are on their shoulders. Their mouths are round like a horseshoe and in the middle of her breasts. Elsewhere, there are others with eyes and mouths protruding on their backs. Elsewhere, there are people with flat faces, no noses and no eyes, two small dimples instead of eyes, and straight, lipless mouths.

In the sources they are described as headless ugly people with eyes on their shoulders.

It must be admitted that at first it sounds very illogical and figment sounds like. So, did these depictions drawn in different sources express a common imagination of everyone? If this is not the case, what was the truth of the matter, why did these people come to this? Let’s see together.

According to a general opinion, the “face-to-face shields” they carry It is thought that they caused a legend with their neckless faces and their faces on their chests.

It is also among the rumors that the depiction on the map of Piri Reis is the “antichrist”.

Headless and face on their chest As a result, a different human form was tried to be created and these legends spread from language to language and after a while these people were thought to be real. The drawings put forward as the antichrist in Piri Reis’ map also come to the same story.

Depictions of Blemmyae were found on the Andrea Bianco map during the Late Middle Ages.

We do not know whether the Blemmyae people, who inspired many such medieval sources and pioneered drawing interesting descriptions, actually existed or not, but one thing we do know is that such a thing does not seem evolutionarily possible. When we look at the product of this imagination, which cannot go beyond a legend, from the Middle Ages We have much more to learn.
