What are facts about unicorns?

Answer 1

unicorn is a legendary animal mentioned in many of the Asian and European myths. Many scientists believe a unicorn could have been a distorted form of a rhinoceros.

There are many theories based on this magnificent beast. However, there were no records of it being captured by anyone. People of medieval ages believed a unicorn runs silently through the forest and is a savage animal. However, a virgin could tame it. Hence, a unicorn is mainly associated with Virgin Mary.

There is also a belief, if the horn of a unicorn were placed on an injury, it would heal the wound.

In ancient times, it was believed unicorn's horn was powerful enough to neutralize the effects of poison in food and drinks. Hence, many cups were made from these horns. However, there is no proof whether these cups were made from the horn of unicorns.

Possessing even a fragment of a unicorn's horn could prolong life of a person, according to the belief of the medieval period.

Queen Elizabeth was presented with a narwhal tusk in 1577. During that period it was believed to be a unicorn's horn. It was valued somewhere between 10,000 pounds and Pound 40,000. It is still considered as a royal treasure.

A beautiful and carved "unicorn horn" was auctioned at Christie's in London for half million pounds in 1994.
