It's starting to seem more and more likely to me, that elephants (and/or stegodons, their prehistoric counterparts,) probably played an extremely important...
As a side note, I think it's very interesting that multiple cultures around the world regard the "little people" in their legends to have been master craftsmen...
I should note, I think it's likely that H. floresiensis' ancestors probably chose pygmy stegodons to use for transportation, simply because they would have...
There's even a hairy-faced variety in the Midwest. It's possible that it's just a matter of the myth coming from Indonesian islands and then getting spread...
Not convinced myself of the Australopith connection. There's too many commonalities that point to Homo Erectus. It's more likely, in my opinion, of a mutation...
Anthony, Interestingly, images of griffons look a lot like the Egyptian Sphinx, in some ways. Also, the Sphinx exhibits very extensive water-erosion patterns,...
Anthony, Perhaps LB1 and the other known H floresiensis specimens were actually hybrids, themselves, stemming from Erectus and Australopiths. It could be that...

Michael, Excellent points. Another thing they could do with rope is, harnessing stegodons/elephants, as I briefly mentioned before. (They may have used...
This may be relatively unimportant, but I just showed these photos to my wife, who is a Maya descendent, and very familiar with Maya art, imagery and...
Another explanation could be that the "elephants" originate from remnant stories and myths of earlier days when paleo-Indians hunted N. American mastodons...
Pete, True, that is also possible. Or it could have been a memory from someplace outside of the Americas (some pre-Columbian immigrants to the Americas may...
