Een schaman ofte Duyvel-priester
"
A shaman or Devil-priest in the country of the Tungus. (This is the first picture published in Europe of a Siberian shaman.)"
This picture comes from the book Noord en Oost Tartarye (North and East Tartaria) by Nicolaen Witsen (a former mayor of Amsterdam) and it depicts a shaman with a horned headdress. This immediately made me think of the god we know as "the horned god" and makes me wonder how far back that depiction actually goes. This supposedly was a Shaman from a country in the Tartarian Empire. If you are interested in learning more about this piece of hidden/lost history may I suggest you check out the Tartaria Explained series by Mind Unveiled and this article on the History Of Yesterday website.(links below) https://open.lbry.com/@MindUnveiled:e?r=7XvJWogRdCsEuDgaHaUSgjobYcaXARt5 https://historyofyesterday.com/tartary-tartaria-the-mystery-of-an-empire-lost-in-history-a99abb5cc9b6
