Ancient Unicorn

In our time, the Ancient Unicorn has been considered one of the most beautiful fairys in many of the old fairy tales.

The first record of the Ancient Unicorn was written in 400 B.C., by a Greek named Ctesias.

Both Aristotle and Plato mentioned Unicorns and their beauty in their writings.

A Roman Emperor speaks of the amazing creatures and their incredible horns -

"longer and straighter than any horn we know of"

and that was in about 50 B.C., how old is that?

Were Unicorns Real?

Wow...and these are the people and the time period that most of our great scientific and mathematical knowledge came from!

The information handed down through the ages of humanity from these great thinkers and leaders, has been accepted by most of the scholars of today as being very important stuff.

So why should we ever doubt the existence of Unicorns?

This is, many believe, symbolic of our lost innocence, and of the Unicorn's purity and loyalty.

Later in time Christianity associates the Unicorn with symbolism for Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.

Horn used to protect from poison!

One of the oldest descriptions of the Ancient Unicorn and his magic was of the horn's use in protecting against poisoning.

The horn was used in ancient times as a drinking vessel.

It was also thought that the Unicorn could purify a whole body of water just by dipping his horn into it.

Poison must have been a serious issue in those days!

There is a story of a Greek Scholar named Megasthenes who went on an adventure to India in order to investigate the reports of the Unicorns there called Cartazoon.

He apparently wrote several books relating details about one of the features of a Unicorn that has been passed onto the modern-day image.

He reported particularly on the spirals of a Unicorn's horn.
