Archeologists have discovered rock paintings depicting strange
creatures and called them teriantrops, hybrids of humans and animals.
Researchers believe that ancient artists made the painting from life.
Paul Takon from the Australian Museum in Sydney and anthropologist
Christopher Chippendale from the University of Cambridge say that such
hybrids, including centaurs, were highly likely living side by side with
primitives. In Australia and South Africa, the researchers discovered
dozens of rock paintings showing animals with human heads and humans with
animal heads that may be over 32 thousand years old.
They have had the first in history detailed study of the strange
drawings. The study covered about 5,000 rock paintings of our ancestors;
the researchers systematized the frequency and the types of depicted
teriantrops and determined their ages. They arrived at a conclusion that
animal men actually existed in the remote past. They believe that
primitives could hardly draw what they never saw.
Myths of Ancient Greece and Rome also tell us about animal men, and
centaurs are the most frequent ones. These are creatures with the human
torso transforming into the feet of a horse or some other animal, a bull,
a donkey, a sheep and even a goat. The word centaur is a compound of KEN
(kenw) meaning "I kill" and TAUROS meaning "bull", and it reveals
astronomic knowledge of our ancestors. When the constellation of
Sagittarius (Centaurus throwing a spear) appears in the night skies, we
can no longer see Taurus, one of the Sun symbols.
The anciet legends say that centaurs came down from the Greek
mountains where they failed to keep up friendly relations with the local
population. As far as some centaurs loved drinking wine, they easily flew
into a rage and conflicted with people.
Mythology expert, Candidate of historical sciences Alexander Guryev
says that animal men were the result of buggery, sex contacts between men
and animals, which were quite typical of the ancient epochs. The expert
adds that many people believed that they descended from animals: Tibetans
believed they descended from monkeys, Hindu believed that horses were
their ancestors and people in Thailand thought they descended from the
dog.
Some ancient legends are absolutely strange indeed. There is an old
Greek myth saying that great conqueror Alexander the Great was conceived
after a contact with a grass-snake, into whom Zeus, the patron of all gods
and humans, turned with the view to seduce Olympia, the daughter of
Macedonian king.
Historical sources reveal that buggery was very popular among
ancient Greeks and Romans. A legend says that Greek scholar Thales
recommended his master Periandr not to engage unmarried shepherds not to
produce more centaurs. Roman satirist Juvenalis wrote that "Roman women
often exposed their naked buttocks to tempt donkeys into sex contacts." In
Egypt, these contacts were part of the fertility cult ceremony.
In ancient times, warriors took a flock of sheep or goats for every
battle; they used animals for eating and having sex. There is written
evidence saying that Italian soldiers deserted during the siege of Lyons
by catholics in 1562 because they had little sheep for sex contacts.
Allowing sex contacts between soldiers and animals was believed the lesser
evil than sex with prostitutes. Respectable scholars - Paracelsus, Cardano
and famous accoucher of the 16th century Fortunio Liceti - several times
registered birth of hybrids, animal kids born by humans and human kids
born by animals. Their notes mention horses, elephants, dogs and even
lions.
Alexander Guryev says that some time ago the official science would
not recognize the possibility of interbreeding of humans and animals. But
recently relaiable scientific sources have published results of genetic
experiments as a result of which researchers got chimeras in test-tubes,
germs having part of human and part of animal cells. From the genetics
point of view, the difference between humans and animals makes just
several per cent. It is not ruled out that spontaneous mutations may take
place in rare instances, and natural interbreeding is quite possible in
this case. May it be so that humans with such mutations lived in all
epochs?
Famous Danish anatomist Thomas Bartolin wrote he saw a woman who had
a baby with a cat head after copulation with a cat. Medicine books of the
19-20th centuries describe instances of birth of animal humans. At the end
of the past century, some British researchers wrote about black women
living togetehr with gorillas. Children born as a result of such contacts
could even do easy work abour the house and even speak. Unfortunately,
researchers had no chance of seeing these creatures because the hybrids
felt seriously hurt and escaped to jungle.
Alexander Guryev says that researchers have no whole centaur
skeletons but lots of upper and lower parts of centaurs skeletons.

Further evidence for this theory is that Bush is a horse's ass.

Because, of course, "primitive" man couldn't possibly have had anything
resembling an imagination - everything they drew had to be based in fact!
