Cynocephali..The Real Dog-Headed Men

As strange and disturbing as it may seem, throughout history, there have been numerous accounts of dog-headed people living in distant lands. You have probably seen images of Cynocephalus before. Cyno means dog and cephalus means of the head. For example you have probably seen images of the Egyptian God Anubis "The God of Death and Embalming." Anubis has been found in Egyptian tombs, and has the body of a man and the head of a jackal, this is clearly a Cynocephalus.

Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, St. Nick, he goes by so many names, none the less he is one of the most iconic figures known all around the world by children and adults alike. Here is a list of lesser known fun facts about the man who embodies the essence of Christmas! 1. He didn’t live at the North Pole. Far from his home and workshop at the top of the world, in the south of present-day Turkey, lived a 4th century bishop whose full name was Nikolaos of Myra , a city now known as Demre. An ancient Byzantine church dedicated to St. Nicholas and containing his tomb still stands in Demre. Legend holds that it was built on the foundation of a Lycian Temple of Apollo. 2. Saint Nicholas was born into a wealthy family — and had a penchant for charity. Born a rich man’s son, Nikolaos donated his inheritance to the poor by giving them gifts, which he’d toss through open windows. Details changed as the story was retold, with later versions of him having tossed them down chimneys —
