The Unicorn: Myth, Legend? Did They Exist?

The Unicorn: Myth, Legend? Did They Exist?

The Unicorn is a legendary animal that has been described in ancient times as a horse with a large-pointed spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. The Unicorn is usually white in color, there have also been mention of Unicorns being a white goat with a horn projecting from its forehead. Leonard Lake – serial killer owned an altered goat with a horn projecting from its forehead. This goat was a way for Leonard Lake to meet the ladies. Many ladies enjoyed having their photograph taken with Leonard’s altered goat that he made claim was a Unicorn. The Unicorn myth has been around a long time and was depicted on the ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was also mentioned by the ancient Greeks.

Various scribes such as Strabo, Pliny the Younger, Aelian and Ctesias mention the legend of the Unicorn in their works, even the Bible mentions a similar animal referred to as the Re’em that can be translated to Unicorn. Special Note: I investigated the cabin area (Wilseyville) where Leonard Lake and Charles Ng took their victims.

So, my question is, did this animal really exist?

Ancient Astronaut theorists believe it did. Not only did the gods (extraterrestrials) manipulate the DNA of mankind, they were also manipulating the DNA of various animals. The Egyptians were terrorized by the monstrosities that they were creating. Ancient accounts show that the gods were creating monsters that were half this and half that. Monsters like the Sphinx, Mermaids, the Hydra, Medusa with her snake hair, Pegasus, Minotaur, Centaur. A sarcophagus was found with crushed animal bones in Egypt, could this have been the monsters that were created by extraterrestrials? We have hieroglyphics that show a normal man having his head cut off and replaced with the head of a wolf. Take for example Anubis who had the body of a man and the head of a Jackal. He was known as the God of Funeral Rites and Embalmment. There was also Sobek, the Crocodile Headed Co-God. There was also the Falcon Headed Son of Osiris. It goes on and on. Did these half man, half animal gods exist? Perhaps they did. Look at what is now happening in modern times. If you lose an ear, no problem. Scientists are able to grow a human ear on a rat and later take that human ear and transplant it where your missing ear was.

Now back to the Unicorn. What purpose would the Unicorn have? How about in battle? If many soldiers were riding the Unicorn, its elongated horn would be perfect in battle against a horse without a protruding horn. If a Centaur existed, then this Centaur would make a perfect super soldier, able to carry a crossbow or a spear, while traveling as fast as a horse. A superb creature for battle.

Unicorns in European folklore were depicted as white horse-like or goatlike animals with a long horn and cloven hooves. They were described as woodland creatures that were a symbol of purity and grace. Unicorns could only be captured by a virgin. The Unicorn horn was also known to render poison against the enemy or when crushed, being able to heal the sick. For a long time, black marketeers were selling the horns of Narwhales and saying that they were Unicorn horns.

North Korea believes in Unicorns. The North Korean government reconfirmed the location of the burial site of the unicorn ridden by King Kongmyeong, the founding father of the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo (37BC to 668AD). The unicorn’s grave was rediscovered near a temple in the Capital of Pyongyang, with a rectangular rock engraved with the words Unicorn’s Lair.

On HPI’s paranormal hotline – Charles Longtree said he was in the area of the Alps near Lake Constance, Germany and he spotted a white unicorn with an elongated horn coming out of its forehead. He said the unicorn blended in with the white snow, but he was able to observe it, when it tilted its head to the side. The Unicorn was in one area of the Alps that gave Charles the perfect observation viewpoint of the Unicorn. The observation lasted for approximately 3 minutes, before the unicorn dashed off to higher level in this part of the Alps. Charles said this happened in April 1998. Special Note: I have been to Lake Constance and took a boat around the entirety of the lake that borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland. When I was in the Army in Germany, I took a trip to the Zugspitze and talked to 3 Swiss tourists that claim that unicorns have been seen at the Zugspitze. In 1975, when I rode the Orient Express, I met Hilda Koch. Hilda told me that her mother while attending the Drachenstich aka Dragonfest in Furth im Wald saw a unicorn for a brief moment along the Czechoslovakia border. I went to Furth im Wald during the Dragonfest to see for myself. I did not encounter any unicorn, but I must admit the Dragonfest was very interesting and some German people believe that dragons at one time existed. That will be for another story.
