Abarimon Abarimon is the name of a legendary race of people native to a country of the same name . The people of Abarimon have backwards feet , but in spite of this handicap were able to outrun all other runners . They lived side by side with wild animals and attempts to capture them failed because they were so savage . It is believed that special sandals are the reason their feet were turned in . This is what allowed them to run at such high speeds . They lived in the Himalayan Mountains and the country itself was found in the great valley of Mount Imaus . There was a special quality of air which meant if it was breathed for a long period of time it would be impossible to breathe any other type of air and the inhabitants could never leave the valley alive . The Abarimon people were first described by Pliny the Elder . This article relating to a myth or legend from Asia is a stub . You can help Wikipedia by expanding it .
