in medieval writings “monstrous” There are many question marks about this community, which is considered to be However, all evidence points to the existence of such a people at that time. Although it seems evolutionarily unlikely, Piri Reis’s map is accepted as one of these proofs.

On the map of Piri Reis It is very likely that these headless creatures represent a people in Africa!

This community, which is also mentioned in the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493), lived between 600 BC and 300 AD.

In the Nuremberg Chronicle, a manuscript that tells the history of mankind with drawings, also known as the Bible, these people are mentioned in the south of Egypt, the area that stretches along the river Nile to Sudan. African people, a nomadic kingdom in Nubia (also called Nubia or Nubia) they would represent.

However, Mandeville, which gives the most detailed information about them, is different from Africa. in Southeast Asia Claims to be a people living in the Andaman Islands.

The famous English traveler of the 14th century, John Mandeville, is one of the people who tell about this community.

from Mandville For pilgrims to Jerusalem his travel book, which he treats, acaibul creation He talks about mysterious creatures he finds interesting, such as the Blemmyae people, known as our subject. He also says the following about these people whose faces are on their bodies:

“On the other hand, there is an ugly people who have no heads and whose eyes are fixed on their shoulders. Their mouth is round like a horseshoe and in the middle of her breasts. Elsewhere there are others with eyes and mouths sticking out on their backs. Elsewhere there are people with flat faces, no nose and no eyes, two small dimples instead of eyes, and straight, lipless mouths.

In the sources they are described as beheaded ugly people with eyes on their shoulders.

It must be admitted that at first it sounds very illogical and fabrication sounds like. So, did these images from different sources express a common imagination of all? If not, then what was the truth, why did these people become like this? Let’s watch together.

According to a general opinion, the “face-to-face shields” they carry It is thought that they caused a legend with their neckless faces and their faces on their chests.

It is also one of the rumors that the image on Piri Reis’ card is the “Antichrist”.

Without a head and face on their chest As a result, an attempt was made to create another human form and these legends spread from language to language and after a while these people were believed to be real. The drawings that are put forward as the antichrist on the map of Piri Reis also follow the same story.

During the late Middle Ages, images of Blemmyae were found on the Andrea Bianco map.

We don’t know whether the Blemmyae people, who inspired many such medieval sources and pioneered the drawing of interesting descriptions, actually existed or not, but one thing we do know is that such a thing doesn’t seem evolutionarily possible. If we look at the product of this imagination, which cannot go beyond a legend, from the Middle Ages We have much more to learn.
