Are Mythological Hybrid Creatures the result of Ancient DNA Manipulation?
Creating Human Pancreas in Mice and Rats Approved by Japan’s education and science ministry.

Hiromitsu Nakauchi—director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Tokyo and team leader at Stanford’s Nakauchi Lab—is the first to receive approval for the questionable experiments which will attempt to grow human cells in rat and mouse embryos before being brought to term in a surrogate animal. Despite many feeling that such studies are the equivalent of playing God, scientists say that the objective is far from sinister. It’s theorized that developing animals with organs constructed from human cells will create organs that can then be used for transplants in humans, cutting the long organ donation waitlists.

Howdy Y'all, not sure if this belongs here. The information above is very alarming, but the post below is more theoretical/specualtive/conspirative. But when i read through these articles I immediately thought of these forums. (I lurk here. Created an account just to post this.)

Anyways, I have thoroughly enjoyed the historical inconsistencies of Tartaria and other parts of missing history. So much photographical evidence points to a very different history than the "official" narrative.

Anyways, now to my speculative musings.

I was watching the Disney movie "Hercules" with my children the other day. Now, that in itself is not informative/factual, but the story does involve ancient greece. I was more interested in the "hybrid animals" and how disney was able to give them human personalities. For instance, phil the trainer (Satyr ) - half goat, half human - or pegasus - half horse, half bird. There are a few other hybrid animals in the movies. Such as Myrmaids and cyclops horse and a few others. What caught my attention was how they gave life and personality to these hybrids. For instance, Phil the Satyr is a very strong willed Human Personality, while the movie mentions that Pegasus has the body of a horse, but the brain of a bird.

Anyways, i looked up how many Hybrid Animals are found in mythology and came upon this list

• List of hybrid creatures in mythology

I liked that list because it reminded me that these Hybrids are cast in sculptures and paintings found in history.

Just a quick google search resulted in this beautiful statue of Herculues fighting the Centaur Nessos. The statue is amazing. But what is more amazing is that these hybrid animals have been preserved in history many, many times.

Anyways, the very next day as I was wondering the history of these Hybrid Animals, I serendiputously ran into this article about how we want to further study growing human organs in mice and rats.

As old technology is "re-learned and re-discovered", I suppose these are questions i was wondering about:
In the future, could we perfect DNA manipulation to make a Satyr ---- Human top half, goat bottom half--- but more importantly, the personality of a human?
Were these ancient hybrid animals the result of advanced DNA manipulation?
Was the reason they are preserved in history so many times is because it was such a impressive technological feat?

Anyways, not sure how much more we can pursue these subjects. Perhaps we could compile statues paintings of these hybrid animals and the "supposed dates" of when these paintings/statues were created.

Anyways, i like these forums. Hope this isn't too speculative.

Have a good day.

I'm more interested in waiting to see if these experiments actually pan out. Right now, it seems the procedure is purely theoretical and while I don't have access to a full blueprint of how they are going to go about it and I can already see a huge potential problem with injecting human cells in a rat's womb. How are these cells going to acclimatize to life in a foreign system that is completely different to that of a human? What if the rat's biological defense systems kick in and try to exterminate these cells? And if, by some miracle, we get a living rat with a human pancreas out of it, what kind of ill side-effects are these scientists dooming the poor creature to? Even with something like organ transplants from human to human, you need to get a whole round of injections and pills to prevent your immune system from murdering the new organ before it is fully adjusted to life inside you. And this can sometimes last for years. How much more complex is this going to be with a human and a rodent?

Based on the other thread on this, I think they'd do better with pigs.

I keep pissing my wife off by referring to bacon as "our ancestors".

Headless Blemmyes: The Cryptid You’ve Never Heard Of​

When it comes to cryptozoology, a handful of staple creatures get all the attention and cable television programs. These include Sasquatches, water monsters (like Nessie and Champ), aliens, and occasional appearances by local folkloric figures such as the Mothman.

Although it sounds surreal today, headless Blemmyes were once considered a bona fide people group, thriving along the frontiers of discovery. Close enough to make occasional appearances but distant enough to prevent debunking. Between their humanoid appearances and their ability to appear and disappear at random, they had a lot in common with modern-day Sasquatches. Fortunately, they lacked the rank smell, bloodcurdling screams, and furry feet.

Of course, one of the most vital areas of evidence regarding the existence of Bigfoot remains the great body of eyewitness accounts and oral histories. These include oral traditions stretching back to the pre-Columbian period in North America. But if you think that’s a clincher, wait until you see the incredible evidence related to the headless Blemmyes. They had so much documentation on these creatures that people remained convinced of their existence for centuries.

The first “historian” to delve into describing headless Blemmyes was Herodotus. In the fifth century BC, this ancient Greek author and father of historical narratives described them as “headless creatures with eyes in their chests (at least, that is what the Libyans say)” in his work The Histories. Herodotus also explained that where the tribe lived in Libya was filled with hilly, lush forests, the ideal place for eye-catching humanoids to hide.

Herodotus would be far from the last famous historical figure to discuss this tribe. For example, Strabo, a first-century Greek geographer, described Blemmyes as an honest-to-goodness people group inhabiting southern Nubia. Other scholars chimed in over the years thanks to a robust tradition of scholasticism.

These individuals represented a laundry list of famous figures, including Pliny the Elder, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Isidore of Seville. Sir Walter Raleigh’s account of these creatures in the New World is both funky and fascinating. He referred to them as Ewaipanoma or Iwaipanoma, stating that “they are reported to have their eyes in their shoulders, and their mouths in the middle of their breasts, and that a long train of hair growth backward between their shoulders.”

What’s more, references to the legend also made their way into medieval maps by cartographers and explorers like Andrea Bianco, Piri Reis, and the 12th-century Hereford Mappa Mundi. These references and images by famous historians, natural philosophers, cartographers, and explorers helped the headless Blemmyes gain even more traction.

The name ‘Blemmyes’ can be found in The Geography of Strabo. This 1 st century Greek geographer describes the Blemmyes not as strange monsters, but as a tribe inhabiting the lower parts of Nubia, along the Nile towards the Red Sea. It is in the work of the Roman writer, Pliny the Elder that we see the Blemmyes of Strabo equated with the headless creatures of Herodotus. In the Natural History , Pliny records that “The Blemmyæ are said to have no heads, their mouths and eyes being seated in their breasts”. It may be pointed out that like Herodotus, Pliny’s knowledge of the Blemmyes is also based on hearsay. Additionally, Pliny’s view of geography is similar to that of Herodotus, in which the edges of the known world are inhabited by strange creatures. For instance, Pliny also wrote about the Himantopodes, “a race of people with feet resembling thongs, upon which they move along by nature with a serpentine, crawling kind of gait”.
