norseman Posted August 16, 2022 Admin Posted August 16, 2022 To put our Bigfoot hobby into a scientific perspective. 1
DrPSH Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 @norseman this is a fascinating video. Our family had the chance to have a behind the scenes tour of the Natural History Museum years ago when our kids were small. I worked for a company and the grandson of the company's founder had donated a lot of stuff to the museum, hence the opportunity we were afforded. The museum itself is super easy to get lost in...go behind the scenes into the basement and oh my, it is crazy complex. I especially liked the part about collecting dinosaur bones. It was clear that the curator LOVES the bones in the collection, something that I hope would/will be the case when bones representing type specimens of our favorite creature are represented in this collection some day. Thanks for sharing the vid, Norse, much appreciated, I would likely not have come across it without your help. 2 1
WSA Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 I'd settle for hearing that UCLA has coughed-up the Minaret Calvarium. Many have long asserted that the fabled BF "proof" already resides in a collection, somewhere. 1
cromag Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 First thing that popped into my head when seeing the picture was the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" skit....... 1 1
guyzonthropus Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 You can bet that the Smithsonian has BF evidence whether they know it or not, but I d be they know of at least some. They were snatching up all the giant skeletons back in the early days, and now there's "no record" of any of them? That's interesting. ....
Twist Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 That’s if you believe all the news of giant skeletons. It’s more likely that normal skeletal remains were laid out and measured wrong. Unless we are to believe that only in small part of US/N.American history giants were being dug up! 🤷
Doug Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 I watched a documentary some years ago about Patagonia. They said that the Spanish encountered large human like creatures covered in hair and had huge claws. They reported that their musket balls and the natives arrows would bounce off of them when shot at. Turns out that a group of taller than average natives had domesticated ground sloths for food and the skins, being somewhat like that of the armadillo, made excellent armor as well as a scary sight by their enemies.
guyzonthropus Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Domesticated ground sloths? Recently enough that they'd still have skins when the Spanish arrived? Do you recall the name of the documemtary?
Twist Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 I’m with Guyz on this one, I believe ground sloths died off well before gunpowder was invented let alone muskets.

Doug Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 I got that from YouTube. Giants Of Patagonia/Digging For The Truth(S2,E11)/Full Episode. I don't know how post a link to it. 1
Doug Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 That is it. I haven't seen it in several years. I just watched this morning and it is pretty much how I remember it.
