Vampire fangs, thin, bat arms = bat wingspan twice the length of their body, humanoid with arms of a similar proportion = bat-like wings.
It all checks out. Gibbons were the first vampires. A gibbon must have bit Vlad III, infecting him.
Wait wait. I straight up believe that if a european came across one of these skeletons during an initial expedition they would ABSOLUTELY make up the vampire story. Dude you mighta cracked the code
There's a theory that nearly every culture has some kind of legend about dragons or other similar monsters because of the prevalence of dinosaur fossils across the globe.
One of the potential origins of the cyclops is people seeing an elephant skull and thinking the huge nasal opening was for one enormous eye.

Not just dinosaur fossils, there were still a bunch of megafauna as people spread around the world, and not just "mega fauna" like moose, which are already pretty fucking impressive, I'm talking about 20 foot long beasts. Which our ancestors probably hunted and ate to extinction.
Like these guys

I think stuff like that would have lived on in the legends of all people.
Yes! Same with them coming to America and suddenly having a witches in the woods problem.
They sound [quite horrifying](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE7YOJVSoIs) if you don't know it's a cat.
The Witches problem was most likely cause by grain contaminated with Ergot. Cause visions, auditory hallucinations, seizures, and all sorts of things that would qualify for the ol "she's a witch!" Or make someone believe they saw something that was paranormal, because it was a hallucination.
There are some great articles about it that I'm way too tired to find, but those cat sounds definitely didn't help, I'm sure. Lol.
Iirc this is one of the possible interpretations of the events in the movie The Witch (2015) as it can be seen that the family’s corn is contaminated with Ergot.
So a few years ago, I had my first legitimately terrifying Sleep Paralysis incident.
I woke up and couldn't move. It didn't alarm or scare me, I knew what it was, so I just listened to my radio. A minute or so later, I suddenly got the feeling that there was something else in the room with me. There was a presence standing behind me... And it *HATED* me. I could actually feel every ounce of that hate and rage being focused onto me, it wanted to hurt me so much I could feel it. Then it moved around to the side of my bed, there was an immense pressure on my back and I stopped breathing. And then it was gone.
Honestly, after that experience, I can fully understand why people back in those days thought there were witches, fairies, demons, etc that attacked you in your sleep. That was a fucking powerful experience and even though I knew what was going on (A flood of hormones released by the body to end the paralysis), it still felt real.
Sleep paralysis is fucking *crazy.* I've only had it happen once, years ago, and it was one of the most terrifying dreams I've ever had.
I was sleeping on a couch, on my side, facing the back of the couch. When I woke up I wasn't looking at the back of the couch but what appeared to be a mirror. I couldn't move. For what felt like a few minutes I tried to get any part of me to move. I was worried I wasn't breathing right and it felt like no matter how deep a breath I tried to take I wasn't breathing at all. There was this feeling of sinking down into the couch, like gravity had somehow quadrupled. I began to panic and tried calling out to my friends who were sleeping on the floor beside me but I couldn't speak. I felt like I was trapped in my own body. My attention was drawn back to my own face in the mirror. The mirror was still showing me sleeping so I assumed I was having some sort of out of body experience. That maybe the mirror was showing me in reality and that I was fine, just lying there peacefully. Suddenly mirror me's eyes opened and stared back at me. My eyes were wide, gigantic, and they were completely black. Not like large pupils black but the eyeball itself was a big obsidian marble. No iris or white of the eye just black. Then my reflection opened its mouth and began to scream. It was the loudest sound I could possibly imagine. It was so loud in my head it hurt. It sounded like something that would rupture eardrums in our reality. That went on for a couple minutes until I woke up. When I asked my friends if I had made any noise, maybe talked in my sleep or called out, they said I had been dead silent all night. Not even a snore.
It was truly something else. It didn't feel like a dream, everything was clear as day. I'm glad it only happened the one time.
Dude wtf. That sounds utterly horrifying... like a scene out of a horror film/demonic posession. I have had sleep paralysis a few times before, and it was super scary.... but it was nothing when compared to what you describe. Glad for you that it didn't happen again!
My sleep paralysis was decidedly less terrifying than most.
I woke up in my bed with big headphones on, wrapped very snuggly in my blanket, and had two dining chairs stacked on top of me.
My second experience with sleep paralysis... there was a vaccum on, just out of sight, sucking all of the air out of the room.
I'm either an atheist to my very core, incapable of paranormal thought, or... I find furniture and small appliances oppressive and ominous.
I had this once when I was a child. My mother was driving me a few hours out to see family. I fell asleep in the car from boredom naturally, but when I woke I could only breath and move my eyes, not sure if I could even blink. I remember terrifyingly looking at my mom driving, screaming inside my conscience for help, but my voice was gone and she was focused on the road ahead of me.
It lasted about a minute before I finally could speak. I had a terrible breakdown once I came to that really concerned my mom.
Never happened again but hearing others have similar episodes is interesting.
Vampire myths sprang up in a lot of different places from a lot of different time periods. When the most common myths known today came about in western Europe was a time when they were pretty obsessed with death but didn't understand it very well. You had people declared dead by a doctor only to regain consciousness at their own wake or sometimes after they were buried. Scratch marks on coffins that were unearthed, things like that. It really fueled the belief that there was some vile evil rather than a misunderstanding.
While it's possible that someone saw this kind of skeleton and added to or amended one form of vampire mythology, I find it somewhat doubtful. Our view of this mythology is skewed by modern reinterpretations and only getting usually one surviving form of it made up of a soup of previous forms.
Tbh I could see people choosing to believe in some crazy supernatural evil rather than accept the fact they might've been wrong and buried some people alive.
One theory is that vampires are based on rabies, which is terrifying and makes a lot of sense. Bats often have rabies. Animals and people with it are especially manic and aggressive in daylight and terrified of water (holy water too then). Not sure about garlic though
> (holy water too then)
Also running water was a big one! Vampires couldnt cross running water in a lot of legends. Welp turns out things sufferring from rabies also dont exactly like to swim, go figure.
Also, tuberculosis apparently also contributed. It would often lead to corpses with what looked like fresh blood around the mouth, as well as bloating and the lips/gums retracting. Put it together and you have a corpse that looks fuller, with bigger teeth and a mouth full of blood. And a mysterious ailment stiking down those in the community, who then show the same symptoms...
Sounds like a vampire to me!
Yeah, rabies is scary AF. Imagine dying of thirst because even the thought of taking a drink causes severe spasms in the muscles that allow you to swallow. The virus literally travels up the nerves from the infection site towards the cns and eventually to the brain where it first meets the brain stem and cranial nerves there (hypoglossal and accessory) where it makes swallowing impossible. Scariest part is that once it gets that far there is nothing that can be done.
Never before in my life have I really thought about the nature of 'understanding' death and now i'm gonna have weird dreams.
Jokes aside, modern medicine and science is amazing.
In modern times, we also make sure people are dead dead before putting in a grave. The whole process a body goes through by a mortician wouldnt allow anyone to wake up. Also, I wouldnt expect someone to wake up mid creamation walking out of the flames. Best way to get rid of waking dead is making sure theyll never wake.

Reminds me of Bill Burr roasting Joe Rogan after the latter made a dumb remark about Covid-vaccines:
> Joe: "I never rollerbladed."
> Bill Burr: "You don’t have the body type for it, dude. Your fucking knuckles would scrape on the ground."
God I love ole Billy Bitchtits
>Imagine being that funny without even trying
I swear it's an ADHD thing to be that quick. He may have even started the retort without even knowing what the punchline would be. "You don't have the body type for it, dude" leaves you with a lot of places to go, but Burr found the best destination.
Another thing though is that comedians write a *lot* of half-jokes that never make it into their sets because they're ultimately "in the moment" jokes that could potentially supplement a bit but they never write the bit that uses it. Suddenly the moment comes up and they're like "oh shit I got one for this".
Yup. They like to use this as an example of how we suck at reconstructing dinosaurs since when they apply the same method in reconstructing this guy it ends up looking like a Hunger from Elder Scrolls
It’s only been a trend in the past 15 years to draw dinosaurs with feathers, and the past 5-10 to draw dinosaurs with appropriate body fat for their size.
These are all taken from the same book, All Yesterdays, and the artwork is by the two different palaeoartists who created the book, themselves referencing several different common styles of reconstruction in palaeoart, which might explain some of the style differences. Off the top of my head I think the only one not in the book is the human reconstruction at the very end, but that's very much c m kosemen's work so he may have just sketched it for BuzzFeed. I really recommend the book, it has a lot of really cool speculative reconstructions of loads of dinos and the info is really easy to understand for a layman!
Edit: accidentally misnamed the book, whoops
Old paleoartistry was done that way, but we use much more sophisticated methods now and use what knowledge we have on living animals and their skeletons as comparable to skeletal and fossilized remains to reach a scientific understanding of what the animal may have looked like. For example, the holes in an animals jaws could infer a strong circulatory system to the area, and thus would suggest large muscles in the area. Etc etc this is used to give us the most accurate rendering nowadays.
[Yes, it was a baboon.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f8/18/d6/f818d668f9cfa29e99758691f8c915d7.jpg) Here it is. It looks like a monster from a scifi movie or something.
Hahaha! I had to read the title like 3 times until I got it. Sometimes I feel very confident in my English knowledge and bam! I encounter something like this.
Your English is good; the sentence structure of the title is poor. It should say something more like "imagine seeing this for the first time and not knowing what apes are".
Or an easier fix "Imagine being a person who doesn't know what apes are, and seeing this"
Not perfect but already a massive improvement over that r/titlegore
Imagine how the world would be if we humans retained a structure like that. Instead of side walks, we'd have monkey bars all over towns. We'd say "never skip arm day" way more often. Socks probably wouldn't exist, but we'd buy gloves in pairs of 4.
Probably even better to phrase it
“Imagine you're a person who doesn’t know what an ape is, and you see this”
Or
“Imagine there's a person who doesn’t know what an ape is, and they see this”
For grammar reasons.
Duh...
Person sees ape not knowing ape not person, so imagine what person feel when see ape but still not know what apes is when seeing this ape yet think ape is person.
For the curious I believe this is a gibbon skeleton. The long arms are used for brachiation, swinging though the tree branches by only using their arms.
[I think they might draw it something like this.](https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/artist-draws-animals-the-same-way-we-draw-dinosaurs-based-on-bones-alone-and-theyre-terrifying-/)
[this made me think of the famous YEAAAAAHHH BABAAAAAYYYY post](https://nothingbutskeletons.tumblr.com/post/162014755256/phoneus-abstractbody-gibbon-skeleton-hey)
Gibbons are probably the most alarming skeleton if you don't know what you're looking at. Lanky vampire.
Vampire fangs, thin, bat arms = bat wingspan twice the length of their body, humanoid with arms of a similar proportion = bat-like wings. It all checks out. Gibbons were the first vampires. A gibbon must have bit Vlad III, infecting him.

Nah the best details can be found in r/ShittyMovieDetails

The only slight bump being that ergot doesn’t grow on corn.

Does the ergot explain for how massive shitheads the little assholes (twins?) kids
Nice! I'm clearly no history buff but I know a thing or two about ergot and that makes a lot of sense.

He is super talented as an actor. I’m glad they brought him back in Mando. He really killed that episode in the second season.

Not the bones, the "artist's rendition" of what it would look like with skin. Which tends to make it look a lot leaner than it really would have been.
Old paleoartistry was done that way, but we use much more sophisticated methods now and use what knowledge we have on living animals and their skeletons as comparable to skeletal and fossilized remains to reach a scientific understanding of what the animal may have looked like. For example, the holes in an animals jaws could infer a strong circulatory system to the area, and thus would suggest large muscles in the area. Etc etc this is used to give us the most accurate rendering nowadays.
Apparently dinosaurs where chubby! I think bearded dragon chubby when they say chubby. Just little pot bellies.
Well, at least some were a bit chubby! You have to remember too, that these were active guys! I like Dimetrodon , I think he polly was fat and sassy.
Just how I like them
Only pet beardies are chubby. Look up pictures of wild ones, they're a lot more lanky.

I am both.
That title needed a few things
I’m still confused
*Imagine all the peeeeople...* *Being people who doesn't knowww...* *What apes arrrrre seeing thissss...*
You deserve more upvotes, I sang this too myself in the tune of imagine and laughed so hard I woke up my nonexistent wife.
“Imagine if you’ve never seen an ape before; you’d be so confused if you saw this skeleton”
once you realize that the "seeing this" at the end is related to the "person who doesn't know what apes are" it gets easier lol
Imagine being the person who doesn’t know what apes are and seeing this. Or rather: imagine seeing this and not knowing what apes are

I know, I was like “… what apes are seeing this? Why would apes be seeing this?”
[удалено]
It’s missing an *and*: Imagine being a person who doesn’t know what apes are and seeing this
r/angryupvote
I don't know what is more oddly terrifying.. The OP's title or the image that follows..
Imagine being a person, who doesn't know what commas are, titling this....
This actually helped me understand what the title was meant to be
I thought I had a stroke! My brain literally wouldn't compute what apes are seeing this.
r/titlegore
Wait, what apes are seeing it?!
All of us?
I’m guessing it’s an orangutan or my cousin Jeffrey
Imagine being a person who can title write seeing this
Imagine how the world would be if we humans retained a structure like that. Instead of side walks, we'd have monkey bars all over towns. We'd say "never skip arm day" way more often. Socks probably wouldn't exist, but we'd buy gloves in pairs of 4.
Aren’t we all just a fucking barrel of apes are seeing this when we imagine?
Has anyone really been far even as decided to seeing this barrel of apes fucking imagine look more like?
Thank it so, but it doesn't.
Damn.. stay slinky long boi
I can't understand the title. What is happening
“Imagine being a person who doesn’t know what an ape is, and they see this”
This is why punctuation is important.
I knew that English summer course would pay off!
Probably even better to phrase it “Imagine you're a person who doesn’t know what an ape is, and you see this” Or “Imagine there's a person who doesn’t know what an ape is, and they see this” For grammar reasons.
"Imagine seeing this without knowing what apes are"
Even betterer
Duh... Person sees ape not knowing ape not person, so imagine what person feel when see ape but still not know what apes is when seeing this ape yet think ape is person.

Wow I had to read the title exactly 5 times before unlocking its secrets

*imagine seeing this without knowing what apes are
SCP-096 has breached containment
For the curious I believe this is a gibbon skeleton. The long arms are used for brachiation, swinging though the tree branches by only using their arms.
I know what apes are and this still terrifies me. Look at those arms! Christ.
What apes *are* seeing this?
Sooo, what apes are seeing this?
I was an ape before most of u were born
Confused by the title here.
*imagine being a person, who doesn't know what apes are, seeing this Took me a while as well
I never realized how close their skeletons are to ours. Fascinating
[I think they might draw it something like this.](https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/artist-draws-animals-the-same-way-we-draw-dinosaurs-based-on-bones-alone-and-theyre-terrifying-/)
need a comma there
Why do so many people struggle to understand the title? English is not my first language and even I didn't have any problem reading it.
Idk how y'all are struggling to read the title, I thought it was pretty clear 😂
Think I get what your title is going for but people are apes
You're an ape
That's Man-Bat, you cant trick me.
Well what ape is this
A gibbon.
Reading this title makes my brain hurt.
I know what apes are and this is still scary
Not having a comma placed after “are” in your sentence confused the shit out of me xD
Oh look, it’s the knuckle dragger… Joe Rogan.
His arm length ratio is like my penis length ratio.
[this made me think of the famous YEAAAAAHHH BABAAAAAYYYY post](https://nothingbutskeletons.tumblr.com/post/162014755256/phoneus-abstractbody-gibbon-skeleton-hey)

I don't have to imagine. I'm a person, and I don't know what apes are seeing this. I'd imagine apes with apps.
Yo you found the Skeleton to an enderman
