Chapter 34: The Legend of the Snowman (2)

The legend of the Yeti is gradually recognized by mystical zoologists, attracting countless explorers to the Himalayan region in search of this mysterious animal that offers infinite fantasy space to humans. In the Himalayas, the Yeti is depicted as a tall, half-man, half-ape legendary animal.

According to scientists' research, the earliest documented record of a Himalayan yeti found today is from an ancient book from ancient Mongolia.

In ancient books, the form of the Himalayan snowman and related records are drawn in detail. According to the information, Himalayan snowmen have been communicating with humans for 200 years.

In 1960, the scientist Edmund . Hillary Clinton once again joined forces with the famous writer and adventurer Desmond. Doig organizes an expedition to the Himalayas in search of the Yeti tracks.

They brought millions worth of gear, and Hillary even accepted a piece of hairy scalp from the snowman given to him by the lama at the temple. At the same time, he also brought back two pieces of fur from the rest of his body. After examination, 80% of the snowman's scalp is similar to the antelope fur, but the pigment particles are different from the antelope fur.

British scientists have discovered that the mysterious Himalayan snowman may be the descendant of an ancient polar bear.

According to residents around Nepal, an American expedition team recently announced that they had found "snowman" footprints on the Nepalese side of Mount Everest in the Himalayas.

The expedition, consisting of nine American television crews and 14 Nepalese, left the capital, Kathmandu, on November 24 to conduct research and photography activities in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. On November 30, they returned to Kathmandu with a model of the "snowman" footprints and video footage of the "snowman".

At a press conference held on the same day, the expedition said that a Nepalese guide spotted the "snowman" footprints on the night of November 28 by a river in the Himalayan valley at an altitude of 2,850 meters.

The guide said: "I was so excited that I immediately called everyone from the expedition to the scene. They brought cameras and cameras. And made a model for the footprints. We found that the largest footprint was about 12 inches (about 30.48 centimeters) long.

There were also some small footprints that weren't clear, but we were sure that this was the kind of ape-man-like behemoth we were looking for with a slightly hunched back, walking upright, and with long black hair. ”

According to the British anthropologist B. This. Pigel reports that some Sherpa hunters have captured the Yeti after they got drunk.

The hunter described to Piger that one of them was about 3.5 meters tall. Wave your fur. Hair hangs down to the eyes, but the face is hairless. Light-colored skin is revealed from some parts of the body, similar to that of an ape. It has broad shoulders, a hunched back, and a pair of long arms.

When walking, lean forward slightly. Walk on two feet, but sometimes on all fours together. Snowmen are basically meat-eating and have a strong body odor. It has both the smell of a bear and a strong fox odor. They are nocturnal and can make a variety of calls. The most typical is screaming. Enough to tear people's eardrums.

The snowmen of the Mongolian plateau are called "Almas" or "Almasti". Academician of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences Raisen believes that the existence of the snowman cannot be doubted.

Due to the activities of modern humans, the living space of the snowman is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, the Yeti should be protected in the same way as a rare animal, although there are still different opinions as to whether it is an ordinary animal or a wild man.

In 1941, a Soviet military doctor captured a fur-clad monster in a small mountain village in the Pamir region of present-day Tajikistan, which could not speak, only roar. Afterward. The guards at the border post shot it as a spy, much to the grief of the medics.

The medic wrote a newsletter about this. Published in a medical journal. Shortly after him. Another hunting inspector reported that he had tracked a two-legged monster with a furry, flat-faced body and observed it fifty or sixty meters away.

Information from the Caucasus, the Pamirs, the Mongolian plateau, and the Himalayas all say that there is a real activity of the Yeti, and most of the information proves that the Yeti belong to the family of hominids.

So, is the yeti really a humanoid savage?

on this. British female anthropologists believe that the Yeti are descendants of Neanderthals. Say. The snowman is somewhere between a man and an ape.

Anthropologists in the former Soviet Union believe that the Yeti are descendants of the Ni people. He said that the Ni were defeated in their struggle with Homo sapiens, the direct ancestor of modern humans. One of them escaped into the snowy peaks of the mountains and developed into a snowman.

Mr. Zhou Guoxing, a Chinese anthropologist, believes. The Yeti is a descendant of a giant ape (it is not a human ancestor, but is "related" to a human ancestor).

He compared the footprints of a snowman with those of an ape, and concluded that the snowman was more like an ape.

The legendary snowman walked upright and crawled when frightened – much like the Australopithecus.

He speculated that the ancient great ape was not really extinct, and that its descendants lurked among the snow-capped peaks of southeastern Europe and Asia. Become a mysterious snowman. But they have no verbal function, and only make vague calls. Therefore, they do not seem to have entered the threshold of humans.

Previously, two explorers from Georgia once found the body of a snowman in the Himalayas and sold it for $10 million.

The two explorers, Matthew and Rick, ventured deep into the primeval jungle of the Himalayas in July, where they found a human-like animal carcasse.

The animal was hairy all over, and from the looks of it, he was badly injured in the eye, and died as a result.

With the assistance of the locals, Matthew and Rick were able to successfully transport the body out of the forest. Eight people walked nearly 11 kilometers before they found a freezer at a nearby church to store the body.

In 1997, the carcass of a yeti found in the Himalayas was once on display in France. After that, the body disappeared divinely. As a result, zoologists have expressed doubts about the true existence of the snowman, believing that it is a model made by some humans.

According to media reports, Georgian archaeologists recently found the skull and some other bone fossils of the "giant" in the country's Haragauril reserve.

Georgian television said the skull was three times the size of an ordinary human skull. Judging by the size of the skull and other bones, the man was 3 meters tall during his lifetime.

There are legends of giants left in the local folklore, and these skeletons seem to prove the authenticity of the legends. They speculate that giants lived in the area 25,000 years ago.

These giants are hairy and tall, and they haunt the mountainous areas that are inaccessible. It is likely that it is what is now called a "snowman", and the skull found in the area is the skull of the "snowman".

British scientists have discovered that the mysterious Himalayan snowman may be the descendant of an ancient polar bear.

DNA analysis conducted by a professor of genetics at the University of Oxford has shown that the Yeti is the offspring of an ancient polar bear. The DNA of hair samples obtained from two Himalayan mystery animals was compared with the number jΓΉ of the animal's gene pool.

He found that they shared a genetic fingerprint with the jawbone of a polar bear found in the Arctic Circle of Norway, which is at least 4,000 years old. Testing has shown that this mysterious creature is not related to the modern Himalayan mountain bear, but is a direct branch of prehistoric animals.

"It's probably a new species, it's probably a hybrid between a polar bear and a brown bear," he said. The next step is to go there and find one. ”

One of the samples he analyzed was from a snowman mummy in India's Ladakh region, on the western edge of the Himalayas. This mummy sample was discovered by a French mountaineer.

Another sample was a hair sample found in eastern Bhutan 10 years ago.

Scientists say that the hair samples were found so far away. Moreover, the date is so close to the present, which suggests that members of this species are still alive. hair

A living creature can explain whether or not they differ in appearance and behavior from other bears. "The genetic makeup of polar bears may have changed their behavior," he said. As a result, they behave differently and look differently, perhaps more often in the shape of two feet. ”

The Yeti is one of the legendary ape-like beasts that is believed to live in dense forests or snowy mountains. Scientists have always been skeptical, but decades of sightings, obscure photographs and stories have kept these legends alive.

In short, the mystery of the snowman, like the mystery of Bigfoot, is both unbelievable and feels bad and negative.

Some experts, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Museum of Natural History, still believe that the "snowman" is the same as the "wild man" in Shennongjia, and has the possibility of survival.

According to the analysis of these experts, "humanoids" such as snowmen and wild men. It may be a descendant of a great ape, and it may even be a missing link between apes and humans.

And this qiΔ“ is not unrelated to the special environment and climate of the Himalayas. It is said that the water source of the Brahmaputra River is also one of the key factors that makes it a snowman here.

The source of the Brahmaputra River is the world's highest river, and the Brahmaputra River is the largest river in Tibet.

It is like a silver dragon, originating from the northern slope of the middle Himalayas above 6,000 meters above sea level, flowing from west to east in the famous "South Tibet Valley" in the southern part of the Tibetan Plateau, flowing to about 95 degrees east longitude.

It traverses the Himalayas and suddenly scrambles southward, forming the famous "Great Bend of the Brahmaputra River". Finally, it flows out of the country near Bacika in the Luoyu region at the eastern tip of the Himalayas, and is renamed the Brahmaputra River, which flows into the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean through India and Bangladesh.

Such a special environment has also affected the formation of the envoy's climate. The climate of the entire Himalayas changes with the change of topography, forming a special Indian Ocean climate. And these are precisely the indispensable factors for the emergence of snow monsters.

However, what we can't understand is: why do snow monsters appear before we reach the snowy region? (To be continued......)
