The Myth of the Unicorn Myth

One of the biggest myths about unicorns is that they are, in fact, a myth. As scientists and historians are slowly discovering, unicorns are not only real, but actually control our society and shape the world as we know it. They oversee almost every aspect of our daily lives, while still somehow managing to keep us convinced that they don't exist. The aim of this blog will be to expose the unicorn conspiracy and shed some light on these mysterious and cunning creatures.

With recent advances in unicorn detection technology (UDT), we are becoming more and more aware of the influence unicorns have actual had on our lives. Many unicorns, having skillfully disguised themselves, have been in our midst since the beginning of recorded history. There is even some evidence that suggests that they interacted openly with early homo sapiens in prehistoric times.















As you can see from this recently discovered prehistoric painting, unicorns predate even writing and have been among us for far longer than previously thought.


One of the ways unicorns have been able to escape detection for so long (even in a world which has become as digitally driven as ours, where cameras are more accessible than ever) is that they no longer adhere to their traditional forms. A common misconception about these mysterious beast is that they all resemble horses. This is not the case at all. Unicorns come in as many varieties as non-unicornal animals. There are dog-shaped unicorns, cow-shaped unicorns, rabbit-shaped unicorns and bird-shaped unicorns. This may sound strange, but it shouldn't. We've known about whale shaped unicorns for centuries; we call them 'narwhals'.













This herd of 'narwhals' is actually a herd of unicorns. Until recently, narwhals were the only type of unicorn that did not conceal itself from us. It is only with the use of modern technology that we have recently been able to detect other kinds.


Of the many types of unicorns, the one that has had the most influence on human society is (not surprisingly) the human shaped unicorn. Human shaped unicorns, like all other types of unicorns have horns on their foreheads, however, they often use their magical powers to conceal these horns from our view. Below is a picture of a human shaped unicorn (or 'humicorn') with her horn hidden by magic.

















Not all humicorns are wrinkly and crazy looking. That this one happens to be, is a coincidence.

  5. I will indeed concur that Narwhals are majestic. I would be so bold as to describe them as the Jedi of the sea.

    Please continue expanding my knowledge about these beasts, in all of their diverse forms.
