let’s keep in mind that the fossil record is incomplete and some speculation puts that percentage of insight at only 2%. This could easily extend the range of known species if not also allow for a vast number of unknown species. There are animals alive today that are not represented by fossilized specimens. And there are at least a couple cases of animals once thought to be extinct to be found alive, this points to the possibility that an extinction is at the very least not determined by the latest fossil

I encountered a comment on another video where a person from Sri Lanka described a creature that was called a Kinnara, but it was separated into two words between the N. The description was almost as if these were not mythical, but actual creatures found in the jungles in ancient times. These creatures were very rare, and the females were described as very beautiful. They had few feathers and could not fly. They ate only bee honey and fruits, and in the very rare occasion when it was captured, the females were sent to the king for… some rather inappropriate uses, they were said to be very beautiful and have very smooth skin… and the description mentioned part human, part bird, having hollow bones and small stature. Of course, this is not verified, and the comment was in relation to one of the controversial Nazca mummies pertaining to a creature that is very small that has reptilian features such as three fingers and toes, but is bipedal and is carrying what appears to be eggs in its abdomen. I’m not saying that these are legitimate correlations by any means, I just found it interesting, as I am in the middle of a rabbit hole.

Awesome

tickle oshi 😎 jk but ye fun folklore here, total nonsense though imo, tho alot of the population truly believes in this nonsense 😂

2:40 belief in something greater than ourselves !

My dear friend! What a wonderful man, ISnt he?

Thank you! My youngest loves learning about different mythological creatures.

Thank you so much for having me on! I had a blast and can't wait to do another one

This was so fun!

Just found your channel. Love it and plan on watching every old and new video you have. Keep up the good work and good luck on your channel!

could you possibly make a video about the bird Huma/Homa?

hi Katherine, its everyone! lol

Features in a fiction book I'm working on, cheers for the research assist.

Your channel is amazing, thank you!

your information was really helpful! thank you!

I don't know where I can communicate with him just how much my sister and I have enjoyed listening to him in Lord Edginton Investigates series by Benedict Brown. Truly the way he brings the characters to life has been such a wonderful and heart warming experience, every time a new audiobook from the series releases, we immediately listen to it. It is such a treat to listen to you as Christopher and Lord Edginton. I love love love the series and love to listen to you bring the characters to life, truly, thank you so much for what you do George. I can't express my love for the series, and your work enough, thank you!

This series is so cool!

Thanks again for chatting, Katharine! Really enjoyed it :)

You pronounced the moddey doo wrong

I aspire to be a Cryptid someday

Hi Katharine I'am from Brazil and was taken by Anhangá,,, I was 7 years old, it was terrifying ..... but now it is in my soul, I called it ferocious voice , it showed me what is the pain of the mother of the killed son , and now it walks in my soul with terrible omens of death and suffering ...I 'am an animal lover and vegetarian, ,,,trust me whatever it is, its not from this dimension and it is capable of feel the pain of the ones that value existence in our realm, in 1968 it was not known but but as I see, now many people will know it.I wandered the nights in panic for many years and have ptsd ,all because of it and the village where I was born, I don't really know if it wanted to illuminate me, or show me the fear of the shadows of the darkness, but I have no choice but serve it for compassion and fear until the sun stops to shine.

This is interesting because of course there were Celts in Spain, too! Unfortunately the Celtiberian language hasn't survived, but maybe some of the folklore remained?

Hi Katharine, I'm in the process of writing a cryptid book and I came across your channel. I really like your videos. Keep up the great work.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of the chickcharney before!

Two of my favourite people 😊

Hmmmm... I've been pronouncing it "Weh - chuh - geh."

Woohoo! Neal!

Genesis 6, 1-4 "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the Sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And Elohym said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were Nephilim in the earth in those days; and after that, when the Bene ha Elohym (sons of God) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Nephilim - Titans Offspring of Nephilim - 'gods' Children of the gods - demi - gods...

I had a great time! Thanks for the opportunity Katharine!

I wonder if they are related to the hundred handed ones?

It looks like my ... Siblings

Thanks for this! Good info on Orthrus

Thank you for shedding light on this mythology, it's a very interesting Chimera!

Interesting, although their name means "earth born" in Greek, so they would have more likely been some of the monsters created by Gaia when Zeus led the battle against the Titans. Realize that, as androcentrism grew circa 800 BCE, the Mycenaean gods changed from goddesses to gods (Zeus and Apollo were both females, according to Linear B tablets), so that females went from being The Creators--believed to be able to conjure new souls into This Realm from Another Realm through the sheer power of their physical bodies and spiritual magic--to being mere "fields" to be "plowed" and "planted with seed," since males assumed they were planting full humans (humunculi) into women's wombs after the Egyptians discovered procreation circa 2400 BCE. So around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, goddesses went from being goddesses of sex, gender, and creation to being goddesses of love and war (a vague term which still belies the idea that women were spiritual warriors, hence the menstrual blood). Goddesses, then, when they created alone after that could ONLY create monsters--from Sumeria's Tiamat to the Greek's Gaia. As I explain in my book, Pitiless Bronze: A Postpatriarchal Examination of Prepatriarchal Cultures, our ancestors had realized that some children are born with birth defects, so they began blaming women who conceived alone for making monsters, when, in fact, those birth defects occurred because of incestuous relationships, such as Sargon of Akkad's relationship with his daughter, Enheduanna (the earliest known author), who was the head priestess for Inanna's temple in Uruk, and with whom he had to have coitus to enact the ancient qursu ritual through which Inanna passed the knowledge of the gods to humans, but often mistakenly called heiros gamos, even though it had absolutely nothing to do with marriage. Your books look interesting. I'll have to check them out.

"Bolvaria/Bulgaria?" You mean Bavaria, which is part of Germany, not a different country.

It is CERTAINLY a fun creature

When you said chase, I thought of someone doing the worm like in breakdancing… 😂

This was such a fun chat. I can’t wait to do this again.

I have 2 brothers that are wulvers. They fish almost everyday and share it with me.

Good job with this. I would have bitten my tongue off trying to pronounce some of those names....

All theses demond are coming back

just discovered you. I'll have to order your books. I have a feeling I would very much enjoy them. I'm writing about the Lou Carcolh in my next book. I'd appreciate any detail you know about them, no matter how insignificant. scarcely anything is written about them.

Lutins are the main creature in my books

Little known fact - the Carcolh is now an endengered species because it makes for a delicious dish, especially with parsley garlic butter. How do I know that? Who knows, honhonhon.
