Sentient Birds...???
AN ANCIENT KING ORDERED HIS SOLDIERS TO STAB A WACKY ASS CREATURE TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS HUMAN. There is an Akkadian text called the Cuthean Legend of Naram Sîn, saved in manuscripts dating back roughly 3,700 years. It describes something I think deserves way more eyes than it gets. During the legendary reign of Naram Sîn, a huge army comes from the mountains and begins devastating cities and kingdoms. The invaders are described as having the bodies of partridges and the faces of ravens. They have seven royal commanders, a mother and father, and an army numbering 360,000. The text says the gods created them, Tiamat nursed them, and they grew to maturity in the mountains. They are described literally as having a civilization, leadership, military organization, and the ability to conquer entire territories. Naram-Sîn apparently found their appearance so weird that he ordered a soldier to approach one with a dagger and a pin. His instructions were pretty obvious. If the creature bled, it was human. If it didn't, he believed it could be a spirit or some other supernatural entity. The soldier carried out the test. Blood came out. According to the text, Naram Sîn ignored divine warnings and launched three military campaigns. The text claims that more than 270,000 of his soldiers never returned. I find the physical examination particularly interesting. The author didn't only describe an unfamiliar enemy as demonic. He included an actual attempt to determine its biological nature. And despite its extraordinary appearance, the creature was found to bleed. Were these descriptions symbolic? An exaggerated memory of unfamiliar mountain populations? Something preserved from an older tradition whose original meaning has been lost? Who knows. What I find fascinating is that an ancient Mesopotamian writer considered the possibility of encountering beings that looked human enough to fight in armies, yet bizarre enough that their humanity required physical verification. The blood test answered the king's question, but it never explained why the question needed to be asked.

Ancient Egyptian hair was mostly dark brown or black in life, but sunlight, mummification chemicals (such as resins and salts), and thousands of years of aging can oxidize or bleach the melanin, making hair appear red, auburn, or light brown. Please use common sense: if the Ancient Egyptians had ginger hair, we'd see a depiction of them. We never do, because ginger hair was not common Unfortunately for you and everyone else, they're still African and will always be African. Ancient Egypt (Kemet) is an African civilisation. As for facial features, please, Africans are incredibly diverse in phenotype. Most of humanity inherited their phenotype from Africans.
Beyond the red hair look at the facial features. 100% northern European. The truth is Egypt has been a major crossroads for over 7000 years and archaeologist have dug up pharaohs and their families of all 3 racial groups. Bottom line, the official history is not true and has been disproven. Most evidence points towards Egypt, being a subbase of Atlantis and the only major artifact of that civilization to survive. Later Egyptian culture simply imitated the advanced civilization they knew from legend…

SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION Skaven 40K part 2 Humanity believes these rats were once lab rats possibly spliced w human genes in order to explain their IQ, dexterous hands, bipedalism, speech and sometimes manlike features. They have colonized their world, a derelict human hive world.

SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION - Orcs, take 2 Evolved from monkeys, they are a prolific species. Like mandrills of old, they rove in massive hordes. Lacking a sense of conservation, they rip through woods to feed the fires of industry as they dig up any metal and work it into blades.
