Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: 4040 posted Thu, Jul 6 2006, 5:52am  Tales of little hairy men are very ancient and from many places, including Greenland. One cropped up in Brazilian UFO lore some years back. Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: Cherokee posted Thu, Jul 6 2006, 10:09am  I was going to ask the same tsunami question as Cisco. And it seems as if the creatures were highly intelligent, except for using their nails to disembowel instead of a weapon or tool. Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: Charith posted Thu, Jul 6 2006, 11:08am  Its this recurring account of little hairy men throughout the world that is intriguing - culd there have been a global population that has gradually receded as humans spread out and basically out-competed and destroyed their habitat? I didn't realize there were similar stories in Greenland, 4040. Thats interesting - I had previously been thinking along the lines of an animal more suited to tropical/sub-tropical zones. Of course we come back to the lack of at least fossil evidence - which is why its difficult to add any weight to the theory at the moment. Then again, extreme tropical conditions are said to make fossil formation rather difficult and rare - but thats not my area, so could be wrong... Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: 4040 posted Fri, Jul 7 2006, 1:52am  I always wondered how little hairy pygmies got to Greenland, which is like an isalnd.

Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: 4040 posted Sun, Jul 9 2006, 12:47am  The arctic hairy pygmies are sure to have white hair to blend in with the snow. That is probably the reason few people see them. Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: dorje posted Sun, Jul 9 2006, 11:20pm  The other question to ask is who tells the stories? The eskimo or the Danes? Let us not forget that neither population has been in Greenland for long. The Eskimo were ariving there about the same time as the first scandinavian settlers arived from Iceland (the icelanders died off) while the danes arived much later. Either of these groups could have kept telling stories of little hairy men that they brought from somewhere else, just as icelanders brought their tales of elves with them from Norway.

I just know that in Iceland they have what amounts to an elf inspector, and when they build something new he has to okay that it don't disturb an elves place. Actually they call them something else, but he has made roads go around places, etc. Subject: Re: small hairy pygmies From: Kimberly posted Mon, Jul 17 2006, 11:40pm  Dont forget Mexico. Near to some ruins in Mexico there are realy realy little ruins, that only a small child could crawl in. A night watchman (to keep the tomb raiders and vandles at bay) was pelted by tiny rocks that were shot at him with enough force to hurt! The people who still live in the area talk of the "little people" who still live in the jungle... Makes you wonder... Kim
