Unicorns

The earliest mention of the mythological horse-like creature known as a Unicorn, was in the written piece Indica, Authored by the Greek physician Ctesias in 400 BCE. In Indica, Ctesias described “wild asses which are large as horses and even larger. Their bodies are white, their heads dark red, and their eyes dark blue. They have a horn in the middle of the forehead that is one cubit [about a foot and a half] in length: the base of the horn is pure white… the upper part is sharp and of a vivid crimson and the middle portion is black. - Freeman, 14. Ctesias documented the stories told to him by those travelling the Silk Road (the main route of transportation from China to Western Europe which spans more than 14,000 miles). Many think that this mythological creature is exactly just that, myth. But how does that explain the fact that ancient civilizations throughout the world have art and hieroglyphs depicting these magical creatures and no way to communicate between themselves. Can we for sure say that just because we do not have a fossil record of the Unicorn, that it never existed. Eh, probably. But let’s take a look anyway. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole!
