In episode 652: Ancient Dogmen, Seth Vandebrooke joins for a mind blowing show, in which he unravels the untold history of the Cynocephali, or dog-headed men, in a captivating exploration that spans over 3,300 years. He dives into the depiction of these creatures on the 16th-century Piri Reis map and scrutinizes ancient texts that debate their human or animal nature. Seth discusses how these beings are one of the most thoroughly documented cryptids, connecting them to the Nephilim of biblical lore. He also examines the Catholic Church's discourse on the potential salvation of these creatures through Christ. Highlighting the importance of historical narratives, Seth challenges the dismissal of the Cynocephali as mere myths. He references works like Herodotus' Histories and Hittite cuneiform tablets that document the Cynocephali's integration into rituals and worship. Seth's discussion also ties these dog-headed figures to the three races mentioned in the Book of Jubilees and Enoch, suggesting a deeper, perhaps obscured connection to the Nephilim and exploring why these narratives might have been suppressed.
