The Hereford Map is the largest medieval map still known to exist, and it shows cryptids beyond belief. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours…
Today, we're going to be going into the bizarre creatures on the Hereford Mundy map.
Now, this map has been broken up into a bunch of categories like myths and legends, Bible stories, towns and cities, beasts of the world and strange peoples of the world.
But going off of our last conversation, we were talking about how much of this map potentially connected to Greek and Roman mythology.
And the myths and legends section of this map is pretty interesting because the columns of Hercules are noted in the map.
But when you get to the beasts of the world, they kind of hypothesize what the camel is looks like the lynx the elephant even the unicorn but then it gets into really bizarre people which is like the blimeys the cyapods the troglodytes the cyanocephali and a bunch of others but the first one that we're going to talk about is one of the most bizarre creatures that I can think of which always makes me ask why like why would a creature like this be created if it was true and that is the monopod the monopod is depicted throughout history and they're kind of like human but drawn with their human like with one leg and a massive foot and they're drawn with human heads Their foot was so massive, probably to help create stability for this poor person with only one leg hobbling around.
Why draw it like this, where you have the creature holding its leg with the foot above them? And the lore is that this being would hold its foot up over its head to block the rain.
But you know, you start asking questions like, well, how does it go to the bathroom if it's only got one leg?
