In Episode 612: Biblical Dogmen, guest host, Joel Thomas, is joined by Juan Ayala from the Juan on Juan Podcast and Justin England from Cryptids of the Corn Podcast in a mind bending journey of Dogmen tribes and lycanthropy (werewolves) from Biblical, alchemical and biological viewpoints. They look at the connection between dogs, humans, kings and the gods, including the dog headed Egyptian god of judgement and protection, Anubis, which also spawned off the cult of Hermanubis which was located in Cynopolis, the “city of dogs”. They then explore the possibilities of Virophages, small, double-stranded DNA viral phages that require the co-infection of another virus which could be linked to Fallen Angel DNA manipulation creating a Dogman cryptid species.
The topic of the ancient race of dog-headed men, better known as the Cynocephali is brought into the mix, generating discussion on the Geek physician Ctesias first written account of the Dogmen tribe in the mountains of India, Herodotus interaction with the same tribe and Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus own experience with war like tribes of Dogmen of the same Cynocephalus. Saint Christopher, is also discovered as a Cynocephalus, a Dogman who allegedly met Jesus Christ and turned from his life of sin to become a patron saint of the church. That leads the group to a Biblical revelation that Moses first wife could have been a werewolf and King Nebuchadnezzar II may have also been cursed with lycanthropy in a warning from the Prophet Daniel. Hold on tight to that Lycan fur because this episode will have you howling to the moon.
