Nebuchadnezzar as a Wild Animal (1410)
In Christian mythology, a king named Nebuchadnezzar went mad. He lived in the wild eating grass naked. What a vibe.

Monstrous Camel Man (1690)
On exactly September 20th, 1690, these monsters were captured by King William the Third’s troops and taken to London. The camel men were said to be from Limerick Ireland.
Not only do these camel men have glorious legs as shown in the drawing, but they also have an insatiable appetite for humans.
Such a random and specific lie. Did the king think this would impress people? What did he gain by creating a sexy legged camel men myth!?

These are patients at the Saki Sanatorium in Yevpatoria, Russia, taking mud baths. Mud therapy has been around for centuries, and even animals do something similar, called wallowing.
The text on the photo is as follows:
“Саки.
Больныя въ
грязевыхъ
Ваннахъ.”Translated from Russian to English – “Saki. Patients in mud baths.”
