La historia del gigante patagónico de dos cabezas ¿Mito o realidad? miércoles 16 de agosto de 2017 14:45
CAPITAL FEDERAL (ADNSUR) - Un pequeño museo de Baltimore, en EEUU, o más bien una "tiendita del horror", conserva los restos momificados de un gigante de 3,66 metros con dos cabezas, que aseguran tendrían origen patagónico.
Para entender el comienzo de la leyenda hay que remontarse siglos atrás, cuando el marino portugués Fernando de Magallanes llegó a las costas patagónicas entre 1510 y 1520, en la búsqueda de un paso entre el Atlántico y el Pacífico, paso que hoy lleva su nombre. Pero aquel viaje no solo sirvió para hallar el afamado estrecho sino para colocar a esta parte del mundo como uno de los epicentros de vida "gigantesca".
Antonio Pigafetta, marino fiel a Magallanes, escribió en la bitácora del viaje: "Vimos cerca de la playa (en la Tierra del Fuego) un hombre que era tan grande, que nuestra cabeza llegaba apenas a su cintura". Los llamaron "Patagones", algunos historiadores aseguran que la nominación proviene del tamaño desmedido de sus pies, otros que surge a partir de una novela popular en ese entonces, Primaleón, que incluyó una raza de salvajes llamada Patagonians. Por una razón u otra, de allí deriva el nombre Patagonia.
Clausuraron dos locales por no tener habilitación al día
La cuestión es que, gigantes o no, la Patagonia quedó marcada a fuego por estas leyendas y hay una historia en particular que coloca a esta región del mundo como la progenitora de un fenómeno irrepetible: Kap Dwa, el gigante de dos cabezas.
La realidad es que no hay ningún documento fidedigno de época que ayude a comprobar la procedencia de este ser y su existencia -o aparición- se basa en dos historias.
De acuerdo con la primera, Kap Dwa fue encontrado por marineros españoles más de un siglo después de la visita de Magallanes, alrededor de 1670, en una playa del sur. Entonces fue capturado y llevado a un barco, donde fue atado a un mástil; pudo escapar a las ataduras y comenzó a pelear por su libertad, pero terminó muerto debido a una lanza que atravesó su pecho.
Fue momificado para alcanzar las costas de Gran Bretaña, donde fue un fenómeno de feria, y más tarde, ya en el siglo 19, llegó a los Estados Unidos donde continuó su derrotero como rareza de circo.
Estado Islámico se adjudicó el atentado en el que murieron 13 personas
La segunda historia asegura que el gigante fue encontrado ya muerto en una playa con una lanza en su pecho. De acuerdo con esta versión, su procedencia sería Paraguay, donde los nativos momificaron su cuerpo y lo adoraron hasta que George Bickle, capitán de la goleta británica Olive Branch, conoció la historia y se robó el cadáver para transportarlo al Reino Unido.
En 1914, después de pasar de una feria de espectáculos a otra, los restos terminaron en el muelle Birnbeck en Weston, Reino Unido, donde se exhibió por 45 años hasta que Lord Thomas Howard compró los restos en 1959. Esta, la segunda versión, pertenece a Robert Gerber, norteamericano, coleccionista de rarezas, quien hoy es propietario del cuerpo, y quien todos los días pasa frente a la vitrina que protege a Kap Dwa, en su tiendita de horrores conocida como Bob's Side Show.
