  • In this episode we discuss the Cynocephali, or dog-headed men, and discover why Saint Christopher is often depicted with a dog's head in Eastern Orthodox imagery.
    The images of wall-paintings featured are from the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Pickering, North Yorkshire.

    Interesting extra: According to French Historian Henri Cordier, the popularity of the Alexander Romance is the source of all later tales about the dog-headed men.
    Do you agree with him?

    The truth has been hidden from us. The Age of Enlightenment was actually The Age of En-lying-ment. He wasn’t only a dog headed man, he was a giant dog headed man. The truth of our human history is stranger than you can imagine.

    This world has so much more than we know or at least what were told. There are factions and people that know the truth but us peasants are to be kept ignorant. If we were told the truth especially what goes on in the national parks people would completely flip out. What we live in this Society is what we think it is but there is so much more. History has been hidden from us and the knowledge kept to only a small few.

      I guess we're living in a very social isolation society that doesn't know their own history let alone far back in ancient times, probably due to some stories passed down orally until it forgotten in time and suppression of knowledge from groups of people doing this for control population in a bad way.

    I am elated to have found your channel and want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of all things mysterious and absolutely fascinating.
    I have often wondered about the Cynocephali regarding Saint Christopher and Saint Andrew; Plus Marco Polo even makes reference to the Cynocephali in his writings, the Egyptians such as Anubis and so forth. Since the Cynocephali are referenced to throughout hundreds of historical documents from the B.C era all the way up to an alledged sighting that was witnessed in the forrest of Michigan in America during the 1940's, I can't help but wonder if these creatures actually existed.

    The Dog headed people and the Sasquatch people were both created from the genetic labs of the Atlanteans, (amongst other trans-human abominations that we read about in Greek myth etc ). The Dog headed men were created to guard their temples (like a kind of guard dog) and the Sasquatch people were created to do the heavy lifting. The Sasquatch people are quite benign and Matriarchal (because you would not create a being as powerful as these and them make them aggressive. The Dog Headed men on the other hand can be quite vicious and dangerous in the same way we do breed and train guard dogs to be highly aggressive. With the fall of the world wide civilization we call Atlantis, these creatures escaped and managed to survive in the wild even in to the present day. I recognize that for most people this is a rather large truth pill to swallow, but nevertheless, it is the way, it is.

      You are correct. People who don’t do their research could never entertain this. These beings were real.

      lets not forget through history there are stories of civilized apemen and i think hollywood teases this at us with the planet of the apes stuff. plus many people in ancient times seen reptile men, unless we gonna say they all was crazy, we better open our minds to it all, humans mostly dominate the planet as we know of so its not a far stretch to assume some other species could of died off or are on mostly unexplored islands or well hidden in big forests and stuff. we have not fully explored this planet and even then every government likes to cover up stuff and restrict areas.

    The term Dog-Head was a way of describing a foreigner, someone you couldn't understand, a Barbarian.
    Barbarian means someone who you cant understand. A person whose language sounds to you like, "Bar, bar, bar, bar, bar." Like the bark of a dog.
    St Christopher, and dog-headed men, represented the outsider, the person from the edge or the margins.
    Ancient people thought of the world differently to us. We live in a post Enlightenment world were everything has been discovered and categorised. They described things differently. And to portray the foreign, they used the image of a dog-headed man.
    It's not a physical describtion, its a symbolic representation of the chaos of the strange.
    He's also a hybrid, but I wont go into that as well, but it's a similar idea.
    A lot of misunderstandings of the ancient world come from us trying to understand it through our modern lens.
    I recommend watching Jonathan Pageau's video on St Christopher. He explains this much better than I can.

    Edit: I wrote my comment halfway through before you explained these reasons.
    I'll leave it up as a reminder to wait until the end before commenting. And for others who, like me, jump the gun!
    I enjoyed your explanation. Thank you.
