As bizarre and fantastical as it sounds to our modern ears, there is a long history of recorded accounts of a race of creatures known as the dog-headed men. Everyone is probably familiar with the Egyptian depiction of Anubis, the jackal or dog-headed deity.

Anubis is a Greek translation of the ancient Egyptian word, Anpu, meaning "royal child". (Anubis, btw, was not the only Egyptian dog-headed deity). Being rational human beings, most people assume these depictions show a man wearing some sort of ceremonial mask

When we get past our assumptions and public educational indoctrination and look at the evidence of multitudes of documentation describing these creatures in ancient texts and by a variety of different witnesses we begin to venture into the fantastical realms of our reality

Did such creatures really exist. Is it even possible? Before you say this thread has gone to the dogs, let's look at the evidence.The fifth century BC Greek physician Ctesias wrote a book entitled Indica in which he reports the particulars of the dog-headed people living in India

in India's mountains, saying that they wore animal hides, hunted for their subsistence and communicated with barking sounds. Herodotus, writing a second-hand report from ancient Libyans, relates that the cynocephali lived in lands east of the Libyans.
