Iata alte cateva mistere. Cred ca e destul de pune pus la "Dincolo de ratiune".

-) Alma, oamenii parosi de desert, pomeniti si de mongoli
-) Agogve, omuletii padurilor din Kenia, Uganda, Mozambic
-) Mau, omuletii zapezilor din muntii Keniei
-) Yeti, omul zapezilor
-) Nandi-Bear (cinisetul, ursul bado-kidogo) din Africa
-) Nunda, o pisica cat un cal, Cenusie, langa lacul Tanganika
-) Mokele-Mbembe, un sauropod in viata?
-) El-Chupacabra
-) Sarpele de mare, sepiile uriase
-) Sirenele... (Ilkai sau Ri, oamenii marilor)
-) Unicornii (inorogii) [sa fim seriosi, un unicorn si un rinocer nu seamana oricat te-ai stradui], pasarile rock, harpiile, himerele, grifonii?...

DACA MAI STITI, MAI SPUNETI.
E ciudat ca majoritatea se gasesc In Africa, dar padurile nu sunt chiar atat de usor de observat...

Ce sa spun, eu cred ca macar unul din cele de mai sus EXISTA si asteapta sa fie descoperite.
Sunteti de acord? Scrieti aici.

Inceputule... nu prea ai succes din cate vad eu... Subiectul pe care l-ai lansat este intr-adevar unul extrem de interesant... Din pacate deocamdata doar pentru mine si pentru pustiul dinaintea mea (the kid).
Ok... poate ne-am uitat prea mult la televizor, poate am citit prea multe carti SF, dar un lucru e sigur. Se intampla in lume lucruru pe care nu noi, le facem. Si cand zic noi, ma refer la tine, la mine, la the kid, la saldora (cu care intru mai mereu in conflict), la Ovidiu Bufnila, la ghitza la ilie la ion la noi, astia, oamenii, cum se spune... Exista tot mai multe marturii despre chiar banalii de acum extraterestri, omuleti verzi, mici si parosi, sau popoare ale caror mitologii sustin ca viata vine de undeva de sus, de la oameni inalti cu pielea solzoasa, ca mai apoi sa vedem in picturi mai vechi diavolul la Ispita din Rai infatisat ca o reptila cu chip uman. Nu vom uita nici sirenele, si fara indoiala ca nu vom uita nici mitologiile africane,dupa cum ai spus.Pacat ca nu vin mai multi vizitatori.Era un subiect bun...

Cred totusi ca la ora actuala cea mai plauzibila existenta ar fi Yeti. Despre restul nu stiu ce sa zic. Ar mai fi Nessie (monstrul din Loch Ness), desi lacul ala mi se pare un habitat cam mic pt el. Se stie ca animalele s-au adaptat in functie de mediu tot timpul.De ex. pe teritoriul tarii noastre in perioada dinozaurilor era o mare, iar in zona Hategului era o insula pe care traiau niste dinozauri destul de mici. Erau mici din cauza ca traiau pe insula (in general anim. de pe insule sunt destul de mici vezi Australia). Daca unii dintre acesti monstrii chiar ar trai, cu ce se hranesc, cum traiesc, de ce nu s-au adaptat la conditiile de mediu actual ca si restul animalelor?
Stim ca din perioada aia au mai ramas: crocodilii, rechinii, testoasa, varanul (Dragonul de Komodo) si ceva specii de pesti ce traiesc la o adancime f. mare.
Inorogi, balauri si alte genuri eu cred ca sunt pure fantezii .

Inorogul sau unicornul...un animal fantastic reprezentat in multe ipostaze...Am gasit chestia asta pe net...Mi se pare marfa:

Cantecul inorogului albastru

Mai intai,ce este un inorog?
"Inorogul este un cal",ar raspunde cel intrebat.
Dar inorogul,sau unicornul,este un cal cu un corn in frunte.
Cu cornul lui de fildes si de nestemate,de piatra si de argint,inorogul aprinde stelele.
Seara,cand soarele se stinge si luna se inalta,cornul inorogului ajunge pana la cer.
Lumina palida face aripile inorogului sa sclipeasca argintiu.
Stelele il asteapta gata de bal; inorogul isi desface aripile albe ca ale ingerilor,isi face vant si paraseste pamantul.
Atinge cu cornul lui de fides stelele mici.
Atinge cu cornul lui de argint stelele albastre.
Atinge cu cornul lui de piatra stelele moarte.
Atinge cu cornul lui de nestemate Calea Lactee,care nu e decat calea pe care paseste inorogul in drumul lui spre stele.
Cu coada lui matasoasa stinge soarele.
Rasuflarea lui cu miros de stele aprinde luna.
Acesta este inorogul alb.
Insa inorogul albastru...oh,inorogul albastru are cu totul alta menire.
Iinorogul albastru e purtatorul viselor.
El apare dupa ce inorogul alb a adormit in culcusul lui.
Inorogul albastru tropaie.Copitele lui scapara.Coama i se infoaie.
Ciuleste urechile. E plin de neastampar.
Coada ii biciueste coapsele.
Asteapta.
Ce?
Asteapta ca fiecare copil sa`i pregateasca traista albastra cu fan aromat albastru si cana albastra care face ca apa neinceputa de izvor sa para albastruie sub cerul albastru de seara.
Asteapta ca aripile lui albastre sa se coloreze cu parfumul albastru al padurii fermecate albastre.
Dupa ce zanele ireal de albastre ii infoaie coama cu vise calme,albastre, inorogul isi inmoaie botul albastru in apa albastra,soptitoare a izvorului fermecat si bea indelung.
Apoi isi desface aripile albastre,bate aerul de cateva ori si se pierde,inghitit de cerul albastru inchis.
Din aripile albastre se imprastie spre case visele albastre.
Nimeni nu`l vede,nimeni nu`l aude,caci inorogul albastru se confunda cu aerul albastru si aburul rasuflarii lui seamana cu visele.
Cand lumea se trezeste,dimineata,in traistele albastre nu mai este nici un fir de fan aromat albastru,iar din apa albastra din canile de lut albastre nu a mai ramas nici un strop.

Despre multe animale s-au gasit explicatii de tot felul, care mie unuia mi se par ridicole. De exemplu:
Pentru sirenele vazute de atatea ori de marinarii din trecut, "specialistii" au gasit o asemanare "izbitoare" cu mamiferele marine numite dugongi(pentru ca bustul lor seamana cu bustul uman,mai ales in timpul unei furtuni.). Eu unul nu m-am prins.
Cum pelea mea(scuzati-mi expresia) pot fi atrasi din punct de vedere erotic chiar si niste amarati de marinari parliti de un dugong? Pai voi ati vazut cum arata un dugong? Cum poti sa simti orice fel de atractie erotica pentru fata barboasa si cu ochi bovini si plina de alge si unsuroasa a unui mamifer cum este dugongul?
Sau pentru inorog.Initial, se spune ca inorogul era un animal vazut si "imaginat" tot de marinari in timpul furtunilor.Accept ideea de a fi avut halucinatii colective, dar nu si ideea de a fi confundat inorogul cu un narval. Mi se pare, cel putin mie, ridicol. Ce mai aveti de zis?

Gandul omului e si el ceva fantastic. Are putere mare, caci fapta este rodul gandului. Daca fiecare de pe acest glob ar iubi balenele si ar gandi "Hai balenelor, supravietuiti!" (la fel si pentru celelalte animale pe cale de disparitie) situatia s-ar indrepta in mod sigur.

Urma pasilor lui yeti a ajuns si in Australia. Cititi mai jos:

Yowie
-------

O alta faptura hominida a fost semnlata chiar si în Australia în Martie 1977 în apropierea Parcului national Springbrook. Faptura este cunoscuta si de aborigeni (legendele acestora o pomenesc de peste 1000 de ani) si câteodata este numita Yahoo. În Europa existenta unei astfel de creaturi în Australia a fost cunoscuta abia în anul 1881. Un ziar european scria în anul 1903 ca aborigienii ar fi ucis o astfel de creatura care pare sa fie un om de culare închisa si cu corpul acoperit în totalitae cu par de culoare gri. Semnalarile s-au înmultit prin anii 70 ai secolului 20. Un exemplu vine chiar din anul 1997 când o femeie din desertul Tanimi care a fost trezita de catre niste mugete ciudate.Trezindu-se a vazut în curte o faptura ominida cu corpul acoperit cu par de culoare neagra. Politia a fost înstiintata în aceeasi zi si acestia au gasit la fata locului foarte multe urme gigantice. Teoria emisa a fost ca Yowie ar fi cautat apa.

Cercetatorii australieni afirma ca Yowie este o ruda a lui Yeti, daca nu una si aceeasi faptura. Cum aceasta faptura ar fi ajuns aici peste ape este o teorie controversata, caci dupa cum se stie între Australia si continentul asiatic nu a existat (dupa cunostiintele actuale) o legatura în forma unei fâsii de pamânt.

Nu stiu daca pot fi incadrati la animale fantastice, insa preferatii mei sunt demonii incubus si succubus.
Incubus sunt demoni care intretin relatii sexuale cu femei in timpul somnului. Succubus sunt celelalte fete ale acelorasi demoni, cu care pot intretine relatii cu barbatii. Te viziteaza noapte, cat timp esti lipsit de aparare, dar oricum sunt irezistibili din punct de vedere sexual. Sau aproape. Singura metoda de a-i distruge este sa ii rezisti unuia, atunci cand incearca sa te ademeneasca.

Stiu si eu ceva despre ei.Sunt absolut sigur ca nu sunt animale fantastice, dar oarecum se potrivesc la topic. Incubii si succubii sunt spirite de cele mai multe ori malefice sau doar rautacioase, cara e ataca noaptea.NU sunt vizibile.
Se poate si mai clar(dar pe engleza):
A lewd female demon or goblin which takes on the illusory appearance of a female human being and seeks sexual intercourse with men, usually while they are asleep.
The princess of all the succubi (plural) is Nahemah. Its male counterpart is called Incubus. A semi-human offspring is called Cambion.

Legend has it that the magician Merlin was the result of the union of an incubus and a nun.

Simptomele care pot aparea sunt:
-senzatia de sufocare, senzatia ca cineva s-a asezat peste pieptul tau
-senzatia de vascozitate
-repulsie
-paralizie temporara, totala sau partiala
-senzatia ca esti urmarit si ca nu esti singur in camera
-senzatia ce iti este violata intimitatea psihica si trupeasca

Usually this designates the medieval Christian concept of a lascivious she-demon, which has been called a variety of names, the most common is Daughter ofLilith. Supposedly such demons (plural Succubae) copulated with men in their dreams and sucked out the essence of their souls, or seamen. It was thought the succubus caused the man to have a nocturnal emission while dreaming of an erotic encounter with a woman, and from the emission the succubus formed a new spirit.

Hai sa mai zicem si de trolli. Cred ca s-a auzit de ei, incepand cu MUD-urile si RPG-urile, pana la daja faimosul Lord of the Rings. Stiu ca pe Inceputul Vietii chestiile astea il fascineaza:
"Originally, trolls were elemental giants. In Norse mythology, trolls were known as dim-witted gigantic man eating creatures who lived in caverns in the mountain and hollow hills. They were ugly and quite evil. Fighting along side the giants in the battle of Ragnorok. These Trolls would be turned to stone if they were hit by the sun. They guarded treasure and were good at metal-working.
They were commonly described as sitting beneath bridges waiting to seize and eat those who did not give them an offering when crossing. This association with bridges suggests the Valkyaries who guarded the Bifrost, the Bridge of Heaven; they also were "trulls" or "trolls." It was said the Angels of Death gathered at the divine Sabbat called the trolla-thing.
The Trolls eventually evolved into dwarf-like beings who lived in subterranean caverns and were not as strong or bloodthirsty as their predecessors. They are still a threat however as they still like to steal women and children, and are now more intelligent than their ancestors."

Poate lumea a auzit despre piticii sau spiridusii rai numiti Banshees.Am cate ceva despre ei:
Banshee
The banshee in Irish Gaelic, is called 'bean sidhe', which means 'supernatural woman'. She is envisioned with a sunken nose, scraggy hair and huge hollow eye sockets. Her eyes are fiery red from continuous weeping. She wears a tattered white sheet flapping around her.
The banshee is believed to be a supernatural being. Such an entity is frequently called the "woman of the fairies” whose wailing screaming or lamentation in the night is thought to presage either the death of a family member or the person who heard the spirit.
Sometimes it is thought the banshee takes the form of an old woman who walks under the windows of the house of the person who is soon to die. In Ireland it is believed that banshees warn just families of pure Irish descent. They are very closely related to the bean-nighe and cointeach.

Am mai gasit ceva despre incubus:
Incubus

The pagan incubus was a special priest embodying a prophetic spirit who would come in dreams or visions to those who "incubated" overnight in an earth-womb Pit of a temple. The favorite incubus appeared in the temples of Imhotep. There is suspicion that falsification occurred when the sleeper was a person of political importance; the correct prophecies and advice were conveyed so to benefit the temple.
This custom of incubation was carried into Christianity. It became known as "watching" or "keeping the vigil." It was recommended in times of troublesome decision making that one should "watch and pray" in a church overnight in order to court a vision of guidance. Eventually the incubus was diabolized; and no longer regarded as a guiding angel. The cause for his fall from grace was tales of ancient tradition midnight sexual relationships between incubating women and priests, or incubating men and priestesses. This caused the incubi to be known as spirits of lust. The concept that sexual activity could possess a spiritual nature was completely negated.
Soon it was thought incubi produced children through the demonic version of the Virgin Birth. This originated in a round of name-calling. One early priest Father Ludovico Sinistrari thought the incubus when having intercourse with a woman begot the fetus from his own seed. He added the Holy Mother Church could correct him since this was his personal opinion.
In medieval European folklore, the incubus is a male demon (or evil spirit) who visits women in their sleep to lie with them in ghostly sexual intercourse. The woman who falls victim to an incubus will not awaken, although may experience it in a dream. Should she get pregnant the child will grow inside her as any normal child, except that it will possess supernatural capabilities. Usually the child grows into a person of evil intent or a powerful wizard. Legend has it that the magician Merlin was the result of the union of an incubus and a nun. A succubus is the female variety, and she concentrates herself on men. According to one legend, the incubus and the succubus were fallen angels. The word incubus is Latin for "nightmare".
Perhaps only possibly reason for this castigation is the Church's attitude toward sex itself. The Christian view that all sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful is directly opposed to the view held by their pagan ancestors. The Greeks and Romans had laws regarding sex and marriage, that is true, but sex was viewed as natural, not sinful. The Greeks accepted the idea that their gods had sex with mortal women. This was viewed as natural because the gods were viewed as having natural tendencies as men. But, where all sex outside of marriage is seen as evil, such persons described as being begotten from immoral relationships can be said to be evil too. Often this suited the purposes of churchmen.

Leprechaun
The leprechaun is a type of fairie. They are typically solitary creatures who shun human contact. Shoemakers by trade, they are usually dressed in green, and wear a leather apron, black shoes with silver buckles, and a hat, which could be either red or green.

Most sources describe them as smaller than humans, male in gender, grotesque looking, tricksters. Legends about leprechans usually say they have a hidden treasure trove of gold, typically hidden underground.

Toata lumea a auzit desigur de unicorni sau inorogi...De la J.K.Rowling in literatura si pana la Julie Bell in pictura, unicornii se bucura de o aura de legenda de invidiat.

A Unicorn is a one-horned animal resembling a horse but bigger in size and having a single horn growing from the middle of its head. The first known mention of Unicorns is by the Ctesias in about 400B.C. The medieval church considered the unicorn to be symbolic of many virtues. Chastity and fierceness were naturally alluded to this animal. Because the church believed the unicorn would inherit the earth, meekness was also ascribed to it. Even though it was known to be a powerful animal, it was believed to be gentle during mating time, symbolizing virginity and demonstrating the power of love. The myth of the Unicorn in a profile, may derive from the appearance of a Syrian gazelle. It appears that the Unicorn has only one horn but the other one is hidden.

In continuare despre unicorn.Iata ce am mai aflat.
Around the 16th and 17th century, the unicorns horn was sold in apothecary shops as medicine. The unicorn's horn is believed to contain many magical powers. It is believed that dipping the horn into water purifies it. Food or drinks containing poison can easily be detected by the horn as well. It was also believed that drinking from the horn would ward off stomach trouble and epilepsy. According to myth, the Unicorn became extinct when it was thrown from the Ark and drowned.

The modern symbolic significance of the unicorn is reported by Robert Graves to be the single exalted horn reaching to the zenith, the highest point attained by the sun. This zenith is represented in Egyptian architecture by the obelisk. Like the obelisk, the unicorn's horn symbolizes the dominion over the four corners or quarters of the world and the sun's zenith.

Acum...sa trecem la Gnomi...E ceva interesant in cazul lor...Pentru ca :
-dwarfii sunt numiti gnomi in traducerea facuta de o editura romaneasca a cartilor lui Tolkien (nu fac reclama), desi in engleza exista termeni diferiti pentru gnomi(gnomes) si dwarfi(pitici=dwarves).
Haide sa aflam adevarul despre gnomi:
The word gnome comes from the Greek word "gnosis" meaning knowledge. This was applied to them because it was said that they knew the exact location of precious metals. It is said that they are considered by many to be the best gem cutters and jewelers in existence.

Trimis de: Predatoru pe 21 Jun 2004, 04:46 AM

am mai gasit cate ceva...
Gnomes consist of a number of different types. The most common is the Forest Gnome who rarely comes into contact with man. The Garden Gnome lives in old gardens and enjoys telling melancoly tales. Dune Gnomes are slightly larger than their woodland breathren and choose remarkably drab clothing. House Gnomes have the most knowledge of man, often speaking his language.

They are usually depicted as grotesque dwarves wearing tight-fitting brown clothes and monastic hoods. Their feet are somewhat pigeon toed which gives them an extra edge on speed and agility through the wood and grass. They live underground and guard the earth's treasures.

Hard-working and usually depicted as being old, they can dissolve into the trunks of trees or rocks to hide from humans. Sometimes they are confused with goblins, but gnomes are usually good-natured, hard-working and reliable whereas goblins are malevolent.

Their enemies are mainly Trolls, and other beings who would try to destroy them or their homes. Otherwise, they are mostly peaceful beings. They do tend to be sad however, because they rule in cold places. Typically, they live for hundreds of years. These vegetarians are one of the four groups of elementals.

They work at night in the woods and sometimes in human dwellings, it is not sheer coincidence that the word gnome itself is derived from Kuba-Walda, which means " home administrator" or "home spirit" in the ancient Germanic language.

In rural areas these home administrators often live in the rafters of barns, where, if they are treated well, they keep an eye on the livestock as well as crops. Another variant of their name translates as "to put in order" or "do odd jobs" - with or without an apron .

Exista mai multe tipuri de gnomi se pare:

House Gnome

The house gnome is a special sort. He resembles an ordinary gnome but he has the most knowledge of mankind. Owing to the fact that he often inhabits historic old houses, he has seen both rich and poor, and heard a great deal. He speaks and understands man’s language; gnome kings are chosen from his family. These gnomes (Farm and House) are good-natured, always ready for a lark or to tease; they are never malevolent, with a few exceptions, of course. If a gnome is really wicked—which happens only once in a thousand –it is due to bad genes that result from crossbreeding in faraway places.

Garden Gnome

The garden gnome belongs to the general type. He lives in old gardens, even those hemmed in between the new houses of modern "model" cities. His nature is on the somber side, and he rather enjoys telling melancholy tales. If he begins to feel too closed in , he simply goes to the woods. But, as he is quite learned, he sometimes feels out of place there.

Woodland Gnome

The woodland, or forest, gnome is probably the most common. But this is difficult to verify, as he is not fond of showing himself to man and has many escape routes. His physical appearance resembles that of the ordinary gnome.

A nu se confonda un gnom cu un goblin !!!! E o greseala cumplita !
Goblinii
Wandering spirits, found in French folklore, who attach themselves to households both to help and to plague the residents. Goblins usually live in grottoes, but frequently are attracted to homes having beautiful children and lots of wine. Their behavior when moving in is performing household chores at night and disciplining the children by giving them gifts when they are good and punishing them when they are naughty. These goblins can be unpredictable though, they can display a mischievous nature, instead of doing chores during the night they sometimes keep everyone awake by banging pots and pans, knocking on walls and doors and snatching bedclothes off of people. Goblins who become worrisome can be gotten rid of by spilling flaxseed on the floor. They grow tired of cleaning it up each night.

These spirits are known be different names in various countries. They are brownies in England and Scotland, kobalds in Germany, and domoviks in Russia. They are associated with Samhain and supposedly roam the night when the veil is the thinnest between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Daca nu are nimeni nimic de completat, mai are rost sa mai postez ceva ?Deranjeaza pe cineva ca postez pe engleza? Nimeni nu mi-a atras atentia in aceasta privinta.

Ma rog...sa continuam, atata vreme cat nimeni nu ne baga in seama.
Mermaid

A mermaid is a legendary creature that has the head and torso of a human being and tail of an aquatic creature, usually a fish or dolphin. Mermaids are not exclusively female rather the word is inclusive of mermen, who are after all less commonly sighted.
Mermaids, here the term is specifically female, have beautiful singing voices and like the siren sometimes use it to lure ships to their doom.
Contrary to popular opinion sirens and mermaids are not the same... a siren is half bird not half fish). Mermaids will also use their beauty and voice to entice individual human males to come to them. Sometimes this seems to be malicious and the hapless man is drowned but sometimes the mermaid is seeking a mate from among mankind as opposed to her own .
Sometimes a human male managed to force a mermaid to join him on land and become his wife. Such liasons were most likely doomed since an enchantment was required to give the mermaid human legs and the breaking of some taboo or promise would allow the mermaid to resume her natural form and escape.
Mermaids sometimes had other compacts with humankind and the breaking of these compacts had dire consequences. For example a mermaid cared for Padstow (in Cornwall) harbour but when an impetuous youth shot at her she vanished not only relinquishing her duties but cursng the harbour. This according to folklore is the origin of the death bar, a sand bank that makes entering Padstow by sea risky. (nb: there is at least one other folkloric explanation but that has nothing to do with mermaids)
