Mystery Tengu - Satan flew from Japan
In
Japan, there is a legend about a mysterious alien, which is being
considered as the Devil and described as having a body half bird and
half human. These creatures are called by the name of Tengu. Incredibly, a tengu mummy stored neatly in Aomori Prefecture.
Museum
of Hachinohe in Aomori, northern Japan, is home to a tengu mummy, which
supposedly was originally owned by Nobuyori Nambu, Nambu clan leader
who ruled the Hachinohe in the middle of the 18th century.
Mummy had a human head, but has hairy legs and wings like a bird. Tengu who has been a mummy is believed to come from the town of Nobeoka (Miyazaki prefecture) in southern Japan. Some
theories mention that this mummy to northern Japan after bequeathed to
some member of the ruling Japanese Samurai family, to finally get
to the
Museum of Hachinohe in Aomori.
Tengu mythology begins around the 6th century BC in line with the arrival of Buddhism to Japan from China. Tengu is considered as a goblin who lived in the forests and mountains. They
are said to have supernatural powers as may be transformed into a human
or animal, can speak to humans without opening his mouth and was able
to move from one place to another quickly using its wings.
Tengu word actually means "dog heaven". In Chinese mythology, this creature also has its own place under the name Tien Kou (Tiangou), which means also a dog heaven. This name actually does not fit the description of the Tengu. These creatures have no way as a dog, but more like a bird.
Book
Nihon Shoki, which is considered the most ancient records first mention
Tengu, written in 720 AD, mentions that in that century Japan a meteor
across the sky and meteors are called by a Buddhist monk as Dog Heaven
(Tengu). But how Tengu evolved from a meteor into flying creatures are not known with certainty.
In general, Tengu has two physical forms. The first is called Karasu tengu who has a head and beak like a bird. The second was a Konoha tengu who has a shape like a human but has wings and a long nose (sometimes called Yamabushi tengu)
According
to legend, as a young boy, a legendary Japanese soldier named Minamoto
no Yoshitsune who lived during the years 1159-1189 had practiced
swordsmanship with the king of Tengu Soujoubou Kuramadera in the
mountains north near Kyoto.
There is no description and further information about the mummies on display at the museum Hachinohe. Is this really the mummy demons, creatures of Cryptozoology or a fake artwork from centuries past. Some researchers believe that the mummy was a man-made works of art, but no definite evidence provided to support this theory.(
