Yeti today   [2005-02-23]
   
 

Welcome to the third and last part of our "Yeti History" - today we`ll talk about the "modern" Yeti.

It was Reinhold Messner, a well-known austrian alpinist, who claimed to have seen the Yeti during one of his expeditions. With such a reliable witness, the scientists were divided: Some of them believed Messner and said that his encounter was one more proof for their research, while others countered with laughter and statements about "hallucination". Today most of the scientists at least agree to the possibility of a "dual" Yeti: As myth and legend of the natives, but also as an existing, but unknown animal which has to be researched. And that`s exactly what Reinhold Messner tells and writes today.

next week: quiz & sweepstake


Yeti History, Part 2   [2005-02-14]
   
 

Welcome to the second part ouf our scientific Yeti trilogy - this time we`ll talk about Yeti`s relatives all over the world:

Everyone knows "Bigfoot" as urban legend or as star of a quite funny TV show, but every year several encounters are reported - and some of them come from reliable sources. The Bigfoot is not a modern legend or the product of tricky camera technic, even old indian legend mention him. In Canada the bigfoot is more often referred to as "the Sasquach", which is Indian for "hairy giant". In Syberia there are similar rumours and reports since the begininng of the 18th century, and now some serious russian scientists are hunting a "non-extincted successor of the missing link". There are reports from africa, too, but most of them originate from animals we all know - the gorillas.

History lesson & online quiz: Who is Yeti?   [2005-02-08]
   
 

Welcome to the first part of our "Yeti-History-Trilogy" - today and in the next weeks we`ll tell you the story of the legend, who became the star of millions of players worldwide: Our Yeti! Read our "JoWooD Discovery" carefully, because in the end there will be a quiz with prizes worth your attention - like the authentic Yeti-T-Shirts.

The search for the real Yeti starts in the mountains of the Himalayas, where the legend of the Yeti is familiar to every native. The people there believe in an animal or better half-man, half-animal, which is big, white and hairy. Examination of the Yeti Legend is part of crypto-zoology, or short "Crypto". That`s a science which investigates reports and sightenings of extinicted or legendary creatures. But, after all, the Yeti is not the only creature of its kind, there are several other, similar legends all around the world. But we`ll tell you more in the next part of our Yeti lesson...
