A creature who hunts humans and animals at
night and is the reason for killing them or enter in their bodies, a creature
who changes his voice and looks to cover to hunting his prey, Today we will
search for one of the most famous creatures in Iraq and Kuwait one from most
dangerous creatures can hear about it, a creature afraid from it all the old and
the young but what the mythology story about this creature and when it starts
his story all this and more will talk about it in this article to search behind
truth and real people meet this creature or not.
Let’s Go to Iraq and then Kuwait………
The way for the true story behind the legend of the Tantal:
- Some researchers believe that the roots of this character go back to the legend of Hafeez, which was passed down through generations in southern Iraq.
- Where it says: Once upon a time, there were two large kingdoms in the south of Mesopotamia, the two kingdoms of “Al-Aker, Abu Shather and their brother Hafeez”, and life flourished in them.
- So they built cities and arched and ornate temples, surrounded them with fences, and “monasteries” to protect them from the flood, and cared about cultivating palm and fruit groves until they became “God’s paradise on earth.” Which is called today “Al-Ashn”, then the Tantals and Jinn were sent down to guard it, and from these Al-Ashn are “Al-Aker, Abu Shather, Hafeez, Al-Wajf,
- And others.” This legend is somewhat similar to the epic of Gilgamesh and the story of the flood 5000 years ago, and the British traveler Kevin Young supports this in his book “Return to the Marshes, p. An island hidden by magic from human eyes.
- He means the golden treasure that Tantal Hafeez guards in the depths of the central marshes. The Tantals take their names from the names of the marshes, lichens, and al-Kawahin, such as Tantal Abu Aghreeb, Tantal Om Abeed, Tantal Abu Asmeej, Tantal Dawar, Tantal Salin, and Hafeez supervises dozens of Tantals in the marshes and has complete control over them.
- These pants may cause some disabilities, disabilities, madness, or deformities in the body when they collide with humans, but some of them build friendships with buffalo and cow herders “the people of the villages and the countryside” after they offer her grilled “hanaya” bread without salt because he does not like salt and divorces He has a second name, “Masakh.” Despite his greatness, courage, and evasiveness, he is afraid of needles, needles, and any iron tool.
In the Iraqi heritage:
- Tantal is a terrifying name that is feared by the inhabitants of the marshes, and even by children among them. When a child does not sleep at night for some reason, his mother has only to threaten him, so she calls out to him, “Sleep or al-Tantal will come to you,” so fear spreads in him and he sleeps forced and patience with his pain and the reasons for his crying.
- The valley of the marshes is completely different from what is found in cities, dark alleys, cemeteries, and deserts. In the marshes, it is fierce and harmful and cuts off the roads for fishermen and travelers between one floating village and another. It controls large areas and denies human access to them. Therefore, fish and birds multiply in them, and their reed forests intertwine. There are dozens of stories told by the inhabitants of the marshes. In their homes and their homes.
- They are always scary stories, including the story of the mighty “Hafeez” whom no power in this universe can conquer, or Tantal “om Abeed” in the marshes of Al-Majar Al-Kabir in the form of a black slave. He was alone and made strange noises and changed their sizes and shapes at any moment to terrify the travelers. And when we ask the elderly from the Marsh Arabs, they answered that they are demons outside the obedience of God Almighty, and they associate this with legends.
In Kuwaiti heritage:
- It is described as a tall giant who comes at night to hunt young children.
- It is used to intimidate children from running away from home in the middle of the night and is used for entertainment only as adults know it is not there.
Characteristics of Tantal:
- The trouser is a symbol of courage and heroism among the Marsh Arabs
- After the civilizational tide and the development of the marsh society, as well as after the draining of the marshes in 1992, most of these myths and legends almost ended, but they remain related to the popular heritage of southern Iraq, such as “Abd al-Shatt, al-Salouh, al-Tantal, Awj Ibn Anaq.”
This is all What can you find if you search about this creature but did people see it?
The First Story:
- The story is that one day a village girl was shepherding the sheep and she had a cow with her, and at a time of her negligence, she lost the cow because of her sleep, the girl was very afraid and wanted to find her and she started looking for her all the time until late hours of the night and in areas devoid of people Finally, while she was searching, she saw the cow, but is it the cow?
- The answer is no, the ant was in the form of a cow and he brutally tortured and killed it through the plowing tool !!!!!!!, and they found it in this condition.
The Second Story:
- A young man from Iraq, specifically in the south of Baghdad, was serving in the army in the southeast of the front at that time, and while they were moving in the area with army cars, they had orders not to use the car lights so that they would not be spotted, but while they were moving next to a mountain they found a very large man coming down from the mountain to the low and running So quickly that he celebrated in the blink of an eye.
- The witnesses in this story are a group of soldiers and their commanders, but what do you think, my friend, what did they see? Was it the Tantal or something else?
The Third story:
- this story back to Mr.(a) he said when he was young one of his relatives was in the military and didn't have someone from his family to live with them. Hence, Mr.(a)'s father offered to stay with them. Hence, the soldier accepted that when taking a vacation from the military would pass into the house to spend it with them so Mr.(a) was happy because was wanted to hear about this guy's village because he likes these historical stories.
- days passed and the soldier returned to his camp the day came when this soldier took his vacation and didn't come to Mr.(a) home so his father got worried because this soldier didn't have someone else to go to them so they decided next day go to the camp to ask them about if he took his vacation or not.
- but while they were sleeping they found someone who knocked on the door the hard way so Mr.(a) opened the door and found the soldier but was looking horribly so his father let him enter and told him to rest tonight and tomorrow we will speak about what happened to him.
- all the family was worried the next day he didn't want to speak at first but after the family members asked him he answered at the end.
- he said he was on his way home to spend his vacation with them but while he walked in his way saw a small kid he thought this could be a lost kid. Hence, he asked him who is he but when he came near to the kid he ran away at a strange speed cant was from a human so he ran behind him to see who this kid but when he became again near he saw this small kid start to be bigger. His head is bigger and his eyes are not like human eyes but opened with a long line and all black so he tries to run away. Still, while was trying this thing told him to stop with a voice like came from hell so he started runway, and while he did he fell from the hill and then fell onto the road he fainted for some minutes, and then back he came to them home.
Strange Right…….
At The End:
Many creatures we don’t know anything about on earth we haven’t discovered yet and Many hidden stories about these creatures if searched will find more and more from local people living in Iraq and Kuwait so all the evidence shows that they can be kind to devils or jinn who attack humans who travel at night or kids at night.
Or maybe it’s just a myth
and what people see it’s other creatures who hunt at night and usually humans
or animals, maybe one day will see the truth or maybe stay hidden.
So my friends what do you
think about this creature is it real or not I will be waiting for your
opinions in the comments, and if there is any topic want to read about it in the
following article tell me in the comments too I will be glad
Best
Wishes For The Next Topic
