What caused human to fear of pale beings with dark, sunken eyes, razor sharp teeth, and elongated faces?
Many classic horror disturbing creatures share common characteristics like pale skin, dark, sunken eyes, elongated faces, sharp teeth, and the like. These images inspire horror and revulsion in many, and with good reason. The characteristics shared by these faces are imprinted in the human mind. Many things frighten humans instinctively. The fear is natural, and does not need to be reinforced in order to terrify. The fears are species-wide, stemming from dark times in the past when lightning could mean the burning of your tree home, thunder could be the approaching gallops of a stampede, predators could hide in darkness, and heights could make poor footing lethal. The question is this... What have happened in the past long before history began that could effect the entire human race so evenly as to give the entire species a deep, instinctual, and lasting fear of pale beings with dark, sunken eyes, razor sharp teeth, and elongated faces?
What kind of animal was the biblical unicorn?
the Bible does not support the idea of unicorns as renowned in legend. It does draw an accurate, though limited, picture of the massive and fear-inspiring aurochs, or wild bull, that existed in Biblical times and down into the not-too-distant past. . Most scholars believe the image of the unicorn was derived from hearsay European accounts of the rhinoceros.” (The World Book Encyclopedia) Certain Assyrian and Babylonian monuments showed one-horned animals. These are now recognized as stags, ibex, cows, and bulls depicted from the side, a view that did not show both horns. Certain poetical passages of the Old Testament refer to a strong horned animal called reʼemʹ. This word is translated unicorn or rhinoceros in many versions, but many modern translations prefer wild ox, which is the correct meaning of the Hebrew reʼem. The aurochs, wild ox, or bull seems to have become extinct by the 17th century, but scientists have deduced that it was quite different from the unicorn of legend. The ancient aurochs had a body height of about six feet, and a length of some ten feet . It might weigh 2,000 pounds, and each of its two horns could be over 30 inches long. This certainly accords with the Biblical mention of the reʼemʹ, or wild bull. It was noted for its strength and intractable disposition Job 39:10, 11 as well as its swiftness.
