could it be possible that centaurs, anubites, etc. were humans who somehow shapeshifted so that they became these creatures, then when they died the reverted back to human form? its just a theory and not much of one at that, but, i suppose anythings possible.

hi
kemetic (egyptian) magic can allow the shapeshifting of the spirit of a deceased, not so sure if the living can though. there are some who think that you can use magic to shapeshift im sure that you can morph your personality for a short time. could it not be that the mythical creatures are forms taken by the deceased???

I recall hearing a theory somewhere that suggested centaurs were really amazons and scythians, since they were such good riders people couldn't tell where the human ended and the horse began. Unfortunately this was pre-slightly-obsessive source tracing, so i've no clue where i picked that up from.

Probably just weird jokes by big gods and little gods. BTW what is an Anubite? Sounds like a snack.

Anybody think it may be possible that they existed before our collective memories? That they were here before we were?

Or in one of our many past lives, we have seen these powerful creatures in/on another dimension/plane/world? Maybe the 'creators' of these creatures remember them without realising it and tell the rest of the world in a format that they can comprehend.

I believe that the Central Americans thought this of the invading Spaniards on their horses. Greek stories predate this by centuries but the misconception could still happen for someone who has never seen a horse. Similarly the unicorn myth might have some relationship to narwhales. Werewolf myths might have some basis in people eating bread made whith grain that grew mold that was a hallucinagen driving the people temporarily insane. Then again, maybe there is some truth in the unicorn and the ark story - as in they just kept playing while the rain came down instead of getting on the boat. Allegedly the Romans drove several species into extinction in their gladitorial games. In a lot of ancient myths, there usually is a kernal of truth. One thing that has always puzzled me is that in virtually all cultures around the world there is a dragon motif. Dinosaurs or something else?

many cultures have showed many creatures, if i remeber didnt some places even have records of capturing these creatures. I know that in china there are records where people were paid to be dragon keepers. I belive these creatures did exist at one point where they are know who knows but they were here.

I believe there is some truth to all mythical creatures and legends of such said creatures, why would history have spoken so colorfully of them if they did not exist at one time or another? The explanations are endless of why we don't see them any longer. Extinction for one is a possibility, that these creatures were so rare that people sought after relics of them to have of their own, ultimately killing off the species, and unknowingly that they had robbed many future generations of their wonder and beauty. Two, the dimension where we coincided with these wondrous creatures split due to the will of all involved making two different destinations because all parties wanted different future destinations. I can go on all day but I'll leave the rest to your own imaginations and conclusions. For these are just a couple possibilities that I have pondered along with so many others on those plentiful sleepless nights.Justice

I really do not believe we can change species in a matter of hours, days, and years. I really doubt this, however I have read information pertaining the Annuna
using artificial inseminations to implant different species in animals of different species. Today we even know we can grow (gestate) many animals including humans in cows.
This would have it's draw backs because only the mother contributes the MtDNA, (Mitochondrial DNA) thus life expectancy/life span would be that of a cow. I think some of these experiments went awry? Anyway no matter what I think that creatures in mythology are based on some type of empirical knowledge.

IMO, humans can actually shapeshift into some form but many have forgotten on how to do so. it is difficult to describe but that is how i think of this and i feel it is a bit correct not sure though.

Well I can do something like shapeshifting. I was standing at the back door of a friends house, a house I had never been to before, his huge dog came around the side of the house barking and growling and generally acting like it was going to attack me, I turned toward it, and something happened to me. I imagine I would have frightened anyone who had seen the episode, though I'm not so sure what I looked like, I do know I gave a growl that could not possibly be made by human vocal cords, the dog tucked its tail between its legs, and ran off whining as it might if it had been confronted by a grizzly, knocking over a garbae can along the way.

Actually the concept that centaurs existed might be flawed, usually when a mythical beasty resembles an animal or is easily the combination of many animals there is actualy a good chance it was made up.
The unicorn by the way might also have been invented by stories of the rhinoceros.
