Thanks, BR. That's amazing, I wouldn't have expected that. I'm forced to wonder, if that has anything remotely to do with the Greek written records, claiming...
Example of the ancient Greeks (in this case, Aristotle,) writing that these tiny pygmies were real, and "no fable" : "They (the Cranes) come out of Scythia to...
The geographical context, "the Lakes above Egypt," reminds me of the Egyptian "dwarf god," Bes, whom I've written about previously. It appears that these...
Note, when I said "roughly 2-foot-high," that is probably incorrect. The word "pygmie" refers to "the distance between the elbow and knuckles," which in...
A fourth way to interpret a possible link, is that Aristotle's written account may have been geographically confused. Perhaps the "lakes above Egypt" should...
Regarding the "lakes above Egypt," this is yet another reference to the "little people," that connects them with water. (Homo floresiensis lived, of course,...

Dan, Good plan. Silence is golden and any little people out there could or do likely have very keen hearing. Are you doing anything else to mask your presence?...
Thanks, Anthony. That's a good question, about masking our/my smell. I hadn't given it much thought before, but now that I think of it: - I may shower just...

Anthony, That's a good idea, as well (staying downwind.) Regarding the "Wendigo" myth, I don't know. I haven't looked into that myth extensively. But what you...
