So yes, unicorns existed.
Look at that Huggy! You found an actual fact. However, and this is my point, the medieval church included the unicorn in their bestiaries on the basis of that mistranslation. It's only during more critical translations and readings during the Renaissance and later, that the unicorn was discarded. Modern cirtical analysis shows the Bible to be anything but historically accurate or divinely inspired. Why having accepted the unicorn mistranslation don't you apply your brain to the rest of the "holy" book?
It's not a mistraslation, it's a LATIN word not english. for instance the latin name for the Indian rhinoceros is "Rhinoceros Unicornis", there are other latin words found in the old testament e.g. "Lucifer".
