Ewaiponoma or Blemmyae, 1599. Headless human creatures with their faces on their chests and armed with bows and arrows, as described in the accounts of Raleigh's search for El Dorado. Medieval Europeans imagined the inhabitants of distant lands must be exotic and bizarre. From Collection of Voyages, Part V, Kurtze wunderbare Beschreibung des Goldreichen Konigreichs Guianae in America (Short, wonderful description of the gold-rich kingdom of Guinea in America).
