[QUOTE="Nak Sae Glim, post: 107353, member: 7039"] I've often wondered about this story also. I fact I have put forth a theory myself that somewhat ties into the concept. Yet is slightly if possible, harder to believe. However I feel far more likely than man beasts. The concept came from the translation for the word "dukipat". I poured over references and original translations one night and found a coralation between the word dukipat and the English word hoopoe.. not being familiar with the animal a quick Google search brought me to some astounding ideas. that along with the original text I feel is quite grounded. The hoopoe is a type of bird, it has a very distinctive headdress. Currious I went back to the text and found that it could have been translated differently to read instead of the creatures having tails.. it could of stood for headdress, or plumage. A fitting reason to reference the hoopoe, if the creatures had similar head pieces. Like the native Americans wore. Now how they came to steal his donkeys or why is beyond me for lack of knowledge of native American movements and location at the time. However, they are known to wear headresses that are similar to the hoopoe, they wear animal skins and heads.. and they ride bare back. Yes it is a long shot and very much out of touch with modern historical accounts.. however I feel it is a valid theory. Sorry if it's off topic.. just wanted to share my own understanding. *attached picture showing Hoopoe bird, native headress and native warparty [/QUOTE]
