Mysterious 7 Headed snake spoted in india

                                            

Images of a seven headed snake, supposedly taken in India, having recently been making the rounds on the internet — while the images certainly do appear to be rather poorly done photoshops, perhaps there’s some truth to them? Which is it — are they real or fake?

The article below examines this question, as well as providing information on the rather common symbol (or meme) of the seven headed snake — a symbol which features in the stories of quite a large number of religions and oral histories (as well as going viral on the internet apparently).

The first and most obvious thing to point out about the photo is that the seven heads are very clearly the same exact image… simply cut and pasted multiple times over… It would perhaps seem surprising that such a poorly done photoshop could fool so many people, but then nobody who has spent much time on the internet should really be that surprised anymore about some of the things that people are willing to believe… Other things to note are the sharp edges surrounding the snake’s heads, and the lighting on the heads — which is completely wrong,

Now that that is out of the way, on to the fun stuff. (Like the somewhat surprising origin of the unicorn legend.)

The most common form of the viral image includes this caption: “GOD SAVE US. THIS SNAKE WAS FOUND IN THE MOUNTAINS OF HONDURAS. AND THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF A SNAKE WITH 7 HEADS AND WITH THIS WE SEE THAT IT IS FULFILLING EVERYTHING THAT IS WRITTEN. LORD HAVE MERCY ON OUR SOUL’S.”
