A half-human, half-horse skeleton was discovered in 1876 in Greece
The plaque on “The Centaur of Volos,” which was first displayed in 1980 at Wisconsin’s Madison Art Center, reads: “One of three centaur burials discovered in 1980 by the Argos Orestiko Archaeological Society, five miles northeast of Volos, Greece.” The human bones are real, as are the horse bones, but they were joined together and prepared by a guy named Bill Willers. According to forensic science researcher and writer Dolly Stolze on the forensic anthropology website Strange Remains: In 1980, Bill Willers, an artist and biology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, constructed the skeletal remains of the Volos Centaur from real human bones and the bones of a Shetland pony. The human bones Willers used came from an anatomical specimen (a human skeleton from India) in his university’s biology department. The human and pony bones were stained with tea to give them a uniform color and make them look authentic.
In an unprecedented find at an excavation site in Turkey, a team of archaeologists has unearthed what appears to be a giant winged skeleton, estimated to be 5,000 years old. This extraordinary discovery has left the scientific community perplexed, as the skeleton presents features that defy both logic and current historical knowledge. The remains show a bone structure of colossal size, with extended wings that, in some way, evoke legends of mythological creatures.
As the team continues to work on analyzing the remains, speculation continues. Some scholars in ancient history and mythology have raised the possibility of a connection with stories of giants or winged beings that appear in legends of various cultures. This finding has sparked international debate and captured the attention of both academics and the public, generating theories about whether this discovery could change our understanding of the human past.
