No don't worry, I wasn't dissing David Attenborough at 3:28. I was doing the opposite, I was praising him for being a person that's probably actually worth of the title of being an "Indiana Jones". I love the guy and the other scientists I listed as they actually did contribute to scientific understanding unlike some of the other people I mention in this video. It went by super quickly and my editing there was pretty bad for timing. My bad. Also to the people saying I'm a PC Liberal Snowflake for just merely mentioning racism and its relation to this story (yes I have gotten a bunch of comments like this): Are you serious? I was actually pretty confident a lot of what was said in this video was pretty well accepted by most people... but here were are. It just seems like people are looking to get offended quite frankly. The racism of George Montandon is an integral part of the story and like it or not his views are necessary to understand the cryptid. Montandon's theories were made primarily for racial reasons rather than scientific (which is probably the reason why he fabricated evidence in the first place). His theories are so intertwined in racism that its difficult to separate the two. I did a lot of research for this video and just wanted to talk about the full story. If you are just going to complain then please just go somewhere else as I'm not too interested. If you had a criticism with the length, I will take your criticism into consideration for next time, I understand if you felt like I dwelt on it too long. My bad if I made it sound preachy as that wasn't my intention. I guess I might have been less dramatic and done and phrased this a little differently in hindsight. I guess all of this is a learning experience and I'll definitely keep some of your criticisms into consideration in the future. Also for people talking about the claim that Piranhas and Electric Eels don't kill people, I guess you could find isolated and rare reports of deaths, but they are so rare and require such specific conditions I wouldn't even count them. They definitely aren't anywhere close to how Percy described them.
TREY the Explainer Don't take it personally. With potlical climate as it is people on both "sides" are losing there minds over the smallest thing. Video was good.
Yeah, I see what you mean, man. It's ridiculous and I never really had to deal with it until now all of a sudden. It's stupid that merely mentioning and somewhat criticizing racism makes me a crazy Liberal in the eyes of some people. I was just trying to make a super depressing topic somewhat more tolerable. anyways thanks!
If someone actually agrees with Montandon's beliefs I would genuinely be at risk of death by laughter. Not even 21st century racists and neonazis can be dumb enough to believe in hologenesis, right?

Yeah, well, if thoroughly cleaned, there's not much that could happen. If you look through historical records, you'll stumble across tools, including forks and spoons made of bone. Given that a skull has a natural shape of some kind of vessel, it's not that far off. However, why would they have used it for that? Did they carry the salt in their bare hands before? Something in that story just doesn't add up
Yeah, really sounds fishy that they'd treat such valuable evidence that way to a point of damaging it. It's just as suspicious as "the dog ate my homework" alibi. And just as the video stated, the photograph looks a little shady too

Trey the explainer is said to be the rarest cryptid of all. Since he is believed to actually exist but no photographic evidence that shows his face has been shown
Good work Trey, here's some more information that truly bangs the last nail into this cryptid coffin. In 1999, the July-August edition of the Venezuelan scientific magazine Interciencia published a letter sent in 1962 from Doctor Enrique Tejera to the editor Guillermo José Schael of the magazine Diario El Universal: […] "This monkey is a myth. I will tell you his story. […] Mister Montandon said that the monkey had no tail. That is for sure, but he forgot to mention something, it has no tail because it was cut off. I can assure you this, gentlemen, because I saw the amputation…[]. Who is speaking here in 1917 was working in a camp for oil exploration in the region of Perijá. The geologist was François de Loys, the engineer Dr. Martín Tovar Lange. De Loys was a prankster and often we laughed at his jokes. One day they gave him a monkey with an ill tail, so it was amputated. Since then de Loys called him “el hombre mono” (the monkey man). Some time later I and de Loys went in another region of Venezuela: in an area called Mene Grande. He always walked along the side of his monkey, who died some time later. De Loys decided to take a photo and I believe that Mr. Montandon will not deny it is the same photograph that he presented today. [in 1929 Montandon presented the Ameranthropoides in a public lecture]. More recently during a visit to Paris my astonishment was great visiting the Museum of Man. On top of a monumental scale, filling the back wall, there was a huge photo with the caption: “The first anthropoid ape discovered in America.” It was the photograph of de Loys, beautifully modified. The plants were no longer visible in the background, and it was not possible to understand on which kind of box the monkey was sitting. The trick is done so well that within a few years the monkey will be over two meters high […]. Finally, I must warn you: Montandon was not a good person. After the war he was executed because he betrayed France, his homeland." Sincerely, Your friend Enrique Tejera. As for de Loys, he continued his geological career and in 1926 he joined a Turkish Petroleum Company. In 1928 he became a fellow of the Geological Society of London and went off to Iraq to study the local geology and the possible oil reserves to be found in the region. Sowing his wild oats, he contracted syphilis, returned to the town of Lausanne in France ( edit: Switzerland) where he died young, on October 16, 1935.
TREY the Explainer It's a little sad though. When i was very young, I came across Bernard Huevellmans "On the track of Unknown Animals". This one I was SURE was a real critter ( Not a blurry photo or an anecdotal account). Sadly, it seems all of them will remain unknown as they probably never existed in the first place.

@@CyclicDiscipline8 I just want to say I found this channel and it has been such a sigh of relief. I am deeply interested in deep sea creatures and to find a channel that covers that with honesty is exciting enough, but then to cover even more topics AND have a community that aligns with my sense of humor is just amazing.
I've seen a wild spider monkey before and its easily one of if not the coolest animals i have ever seen because they're so human like and have such long limbs.
Has anyone else noted that the De Loys' Ape was described as looking more human than most of the other proposed progenitor ape species, despite giving rise to what the proposers thought was one of the very much least human races?
7:58 I love how the European, American and Malay all have pretty much the exact same skull but because of one tiny little feature they just said “nope. different jaw length, totally different species”
I'm no expert, like at all, but I think I may have some insight. In paleoanthropology, when differentiating very similar species like homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis, for instance, they look for "suites" of differences. it helps if the species has a very unique trait, such as the occipital bun of Neanderthals. No human has been recorded to have had a real occipital bun. This feature, along with other differences, forms a "suite", or series, of traits that define one species from the other. That being said, paleontologist and paleoanthropologists are constantly switching things around as they evaluate and reevaluate new and old materials. Genetic makeup is another part of what helps us define more modern species. This can't be used for dinosaurs, obviously, though. At the end of the day, paleontologists really just have to be very discerning and use all given information to come to the best, most logical conclusion about species and phylogeny. @kyrab7914
I don’t have anything interesting to contribute here. I just really like your videos and wanted to add to your audience engagement analytics. Thanks for the awesome channel!
As a brazilian myself I could state something: piranhas can swarm a man and leave one's bare bones in less than 20 minutes. Gargantuan anacondas could be just augmented(yet existing) jibóias, which can measure up to 15 to 20meters. Everything else is very much far-fetched but these ones can be true. Great video, may E.L. Wallace bless you abundantly
@Pragmaticist I am native from Manaus, Amazonas (Amazon) and fishers use animal flesh to fish piranhas in the river, and from my experience in fishing here, just a single piranha can bite the top of a finger with ease. (it happened to my grandma by the way)

Check out the size of an anaconda they found in a mine in south America somewhere, can't remember where exactly but those cock suckers did exist and the native populations had to deal with them
Very interesting video although I do have to say that Electric eels can and have killed people. However you are right that it isn't their shock alone that kills. It's usually the shock knocks a person out or paralyzes them and they drown before they can recover.
it’s crazy people are offended at the mere mention of racism existing, it’s a thing, it’s often a part of understanding historical context thanks for the video, never heard this story before
It sure is crazy... Lmao Nah, seriously. Racism needs to die. But, it is sadly a big part of our history. But, hopefully it won't have to be in the future.
The idea that someone is 'racist' and therefore wrong no matter what is absurd. Leftists will pour shit on every great man of history if his views aren't politically correct in 2018. Fucking NPCs.
I’ve noticed that the offense at the mention of racism tends to come from the further-right wing of politics most of the time. The general belief on that side is that racism is no longer a factor in the modern world and a lot of people over there really don’t like people claiming that prejudice based on race still exists.
"Adventurers" have been embellishing the truth for as long as they have been out there. Marco Polo's village where there were people with alsatian dog heads is a great example.
If you go back as far as the first Spanish expeditions it gets more believable (as far as civilizations go not weird monsters) there is more and more evidence that there were lsrfe civilizations in the Amazon. Archeology is little more than than dogma and philosophy due to how little evidence they rely on, never forget that. Watch Graham Hancocks JRE interviews whether you agree with his ideas or not he highlights this heavily and the incredulous dogma in the archeological feild.

Actually an electric eel cannot kill alone but if you are unfortunate enough to trip into a partially dried pond full of a dozen or more you could die from heart palpitations and there's only a dozen of these incidents because the natives are a little too smart to get shocked to death

The picture at 0:05 was captured by a trail camera about 35 miles from my camp near Bradford Pennsylvania. I saw something in those woods that I cannot explain what it was, but it was not a species I’ve ever seen since.
Yeah the whole theme with all these stories is that there’s always internal goals with the creatures wether it be publicity, money, religious reasons, or in this case racism
On a side note, these old tales of exploration are so insane and fascinating to me at the same time. They left 20 and 4 returned and it's just regarded as like "meh".. you fought the jungle, animals, disease and violent natives and 16 out of 20 DIED.. some were KILLED in fights with natives.. what an crazy adventure and frankly traumatising.. but they didnt talk traumatic experiences like that back then.
Here are some ideas for Trey the explainer. For future videos: - cannibalism origines,causes and evidence in the pre historic world. - debunking the starchild scull. - greatest hoaxers of all time. Sure why not? - the philadelphia experiment is time travel even real??? - life in the Devonian seas. - paleprofile Sarcosuchus - life after the chicxulub impact. Hardly and videos on that on youtube. Most of them only about the impact.

Peter Fleming (Ian's less famous but equally entertaining brother), describes how he regularly paddled in pirana - infested streams and never once got bitten. This was during an unsuccessful search for the missing Peter Fawcett. The bizarre ending of Waugh's, A Handful of Dust, was another product of the Fawcett craze.
I mean... that map has a "broad" definition of human- like- ape- cryptid. In europe (i'll stick to europe as i am unsure about the others) we can see on the map ice giants of nordic sagas and Grendel from the tale of Beowulf. Both are content of old legends, not historical sightings like bigfoot or the florida ape man. The map might've featured cyclopes and Goliath as well, as these come from equally uncertain legends as well.
oh my god i read about this in literally elementary school and i've completely forgotten about it - I didn't care about the bigfoot photo, i mean, it's from so far away and looks so fake, but the de loy's ape photo genuinely kept me up at night.

I'm new to the channel and am wondering if you've ever done a video on the missing 1800s Thunderbird photo. It's an interesting story that involves a lot of (potentially false) memories of people having seen a photo but no one can produce the original. A bunch of cowboys supposedly killed a very very large bird (some report it was a pterosaur but most seem to suggest it was a bird hence the connection to the Native American legend of the Thunderbird) and were photographed with it. Obviously the skeptic in me says the photo is likely a combination of bad memory and people believing the hoaxes are the real thing but I'd love to see if you could dig anything more definitive up on the subject or just give your take. Love the channel btw!
I like how you point out the public views of the people who wrote those "historic" documents. They were extremely ignorant back then. That it's hard to believe anything they wrote.
Movie plot: The alleged "missing links" that attack the expedition are a hidden society of old world creatures that are tasked to protect the crystal skull stolen by the expedition (as well as other precious artifacts of their culture) The theft of the skull and cold blooded murder of one of its sacred keepers places a curse on the expedition, causing them to slowly die off from increasingly disturbing and mysterious ways, leaving the "lucky" survivors to progressively descend into madness and lunacy, unable to tell what's real and what's fake
It's not "the el chupacabra", it's "el chupacabras" or "the chupacabras" (singular). "El" already means "the". In Spanish, unlike in English, the _s_ is required for it to mean "the sucker of goats"; "el chupacabra" would mean "the sucker of one goat". If you want to anglicize it, just call it the goatsucker.
Didn’t an electric eel cause a death in one of the episodes of River Monsters? It charred a mans skin after he was thrown into a group of them by a horse right?
The Nguoi Rung from Vietnam in legend would grab your arm and laugh till nighttime so people would wear bamboo on their arms so they could slip off and run away.
The most ironic bit about all of this 18/19th/20th century race theory stuff about the Native Americans is that the original conquistador accounts and Spanish interactions with Mesoamerican and Andean groups is pretty consistent in that they viewed them as highly capable, intelligent, and cultured people, moreso then the average person today thinks of those civilizations, even (as unfortunately the view that they were a bunch of "stone age savages" is still common). Of course, the Conquistadors had no qualms about massacring and exploiting these people, but they didn't at all view them as inferior or primitive: As an example, here's an account of Cortes describing workers from Tenochtiitlan, the Aztec capital, constructing a bridge: "They agreed to work at it viribus et posse, and began at once to divide the task between them, and I must say that they worked so hard, and with such good will, that in less than four days they constructed a fine bridge, over which the whole of the men and horses passed. So solidly built it was, that I have no doubt it will stand for upwards of ten years without breaking -unless it is burnt down - being formed by upwards of one thousand beams, the smallest of which was as thick round as a man's body, and measured nine or ten fathoms (16.8-18m) in length, without counting a great quantity of lighter timber that was used as planks. And I can assure your Majesty that I do not believe there is a man in existence capable of explaining in a satisfactory manner the dexterity which these lords of Tenochtitlan, and the Indians under them, displayed in constructing the said bridge: I can only say that it is the most wonderful thing that ever was seen. " You see similar praises of respect and impressiveness in regards to their cities, here's an excerpt from Bernal Diaz about Tenochtitlan itself: "Our astonishment was indeed raised to the highest pitch, and we could not help remarking to each other, that all these buildings resembled the fairy castles we read of in Amadis de Gaul; so high, majestic, and splendid did the temples, towers, and houses of the town, all built of massive stone and lime, rise up out of the midst of the lake. Indeed, many of our men asked if what they saw was a mere dream. And the reader must not feel surprised at the manner in which I have expressed myself, for it is impossible to speak coolly of things which we had never seen nor heard of, nor even could have dreamt of, beforehand..... After we had sufficiently gazed upon this magnificent picture, we again turned our eyes toward the great market, and beheld the vast numbers of buyers and sellers who thronged there. The bustle and noise occasioned by this multitude of human beings was so great that it could be heard at a distance of more than four miles. Some of our men, who had been at Constantinople and Rome, and traveled through the whole of Italy, said that they never had seen a market-place of such large dimensions, or which was so well regulated, or so crowded with people as this one at Mexico." Mind you, these accounts are accurate: Tenochtitlan had a population 200k and 250k, and covering over 1300 hectacres, making it in the tp 5 largest cities in the world at the time, and built on a lake with artificial islands and venice like canals and aquaducts, as well. And while Tenochtitlan was exceptional, to be sure, being the largest city in the Americas at this point (It still is: As Mexico city, though the lake is drained now), large cities, well kept cities were common (in fact, urban cities with state goverments had been the norm in the region for well over 1000 years by this point). Here's a discrption of the city of Tlaxcala, which while still moderately large with a population between 20k and 40k, wasn't nearly as exceptional as Tenochtitlan: "The city is indeed so great and marvellous that though I abstain from describing many things about it, yet the little that I shall recount is, I think, almost incredible. It is much larger than Granada and much better fortified. Its houses are as fine and its inhabitants far more numerous than those of Granada when that city was captured. Its provisions and food are likewise very superior... There are gold, silver and precious stones, and jewellers' shops selling other ornaments made of feathers, as well arranged as in any market in the world. There is earthenware of many kinds and excellent quality, as fine as any in Spain. Wood, charcoal, medicinal and sweet smelling herbs are sold in large quantities. There are booths for washing your hair and barbers to shave you: there are also public baths. Finally, good order and an efficient police system are maintained among them, and they behave as people of sense and reason: the foremost city of Africa cannot rival them." You see similar praises for the intelligence and moral character of the nobility and royalty of these city-states and empires (they even married into Spanish nobility in many cases after the conquest, again, showing how the Spanish viewed these as proper nations and cultures, not as savage primitives), their goldwork and featherwork (The Spanish even commissioned native featherworkers to make paintings of catholic iconography out of tens of thousands of iridescent feathers rather then paint, which was an indigenous artform used by many mesoamerican groups, a few of these still survive today and they are gorgeous) was well praised etc. It's only decades into the Colonial period where you start to see race theory first pop up, and the capabilities and accomplishments of native groups swept under the rug, in an effort to justify increasing exploitation and oppressing of native people.
this is super interesting, i never knew that. so what, even after that they decided "eh lets kill them all and destroy this beautiful civilisation :)" what trash... my heart aches
+it me: I mean, it's a little more nuanced then that, but for the Conquistadors, yeah, basically: The Conquistadors were motivated by greed and a desire for personal glory, and ostensibly a desire to spread Catholicism. Regardless of if they actually cared about the last bit, the fact that the native city-states and empires (Note that the Aztec empire, while hugely dominant and had conquered huge swaths of the region, was not the only political state in the region, so there's not a singular civilization: The city of Tlaxcala, which I mention above, for example belonged to a republic of the same name it composed with 4 other cities, and were enemies of the Aztecs, though they belonged to the samee larger ethnic/cultural group (The Nahua), but there were also plenty of non-Nahua states who such as the Tututepec empire down south which was Mixtec, or the Tarascan empire to the west which was Purépecha, etc ) were pagan provided the Conquistadors with an excuse to justify the conquest of them. But it's also not quite that simple: You have to remember that one of the most important factors in Cortes's success, alongside loads of insane luck (I cannot stress how absurd and contrived the string of events that allowed him to succeed are) and disease, was that he had the support of various native states: The Republic of Tlaxcala was their biggest ally, for example, and a variety of Aztec city-states flipped sides, and a number of independent ones joined the Conquistadors as well. So it's not as if the Conquistadors were acting alone. And while it's true that these states couldn't foreesee the disastrous consequences their actions would have on their world as they knew it, I don't think the Conquistadors or the Crown did ether, as I'll explain in a minute. Speaking of the Crown, though, it's worth noting Cortes's expedition was illegal and unsanctioned, they weren't terribly interested in widespread colonialism or the mainland yet. Once Cortes had toppled the Aztec empire and reported back, after deciding not to execute him (since he had just secured them a massive revenue stream by virtue of all of the Aztec's tributaries now sending their tribute to Spain, which is the very thing that convinced them and other European powers to pursue colonialism and to have it be feasible), they got interested, and their primary motivation was to rule over and profit from them: Remember how I said before how the royalty and nobility of native states married into Spanish nobility? Initially, much of existing mesoamerican culture and politics was kept intact, with "just" native religion being suppressed (I say "just" because that still meant the burning of nearly all native texts and dismantling of temples, which makes the Burning of thee library of Alexandria seem like spilt milk in comparison in terms of the amount of historical information and literary works lost), so at this stage it's not really accurate to say native civilization was destroyed: it could be argued that it was even a better arrangement for some of the Aztec's tributaries. Again, while the Conquistadors often continued to commit abuses as they continued to conquer city-states and empires across the region (as with the toppling of the Aztecs, however, native armies did the vast majority of the work, the Conquistadors would have lost to even only moderately sized states in the region if they were fighting alonee), you only really, truly saw the systemic dismantling of native civilization and culture decades later as diseases continued to decimate the native population and Spain was compelled to change up their imperial strategy from merely ruling over and collecting taxes from native states to outright exploiting them for slave labor and depriving them of rights and thee neear eradication of native social, political, and cultural practices. This is a very brief, rough summary, if you want more information I high suggest you take a look at this list of posts i've compiled on Mesoamerican history from Askhistorians here: pastebin DOT com SLASH HD7gdupT ; especially the "did_the_spanish_see_the_aztecs_as_racially..." link. I also have a personal booklist, mostly taken from suggestions from the above posts; but as it's unorganized, I haven't read all of therm yet, and as some of them are just stuff I thought seemed cool rather then recommendations from knowledgeable people, i'm hesitant to post it, but that's here: pastebin DOT com SLASH HD7gdupT ;Worth noting that there's also some stuff on the Andes (the region the Inca, Chimu, Wari Moche, Tiwanku, etc are from) both pastebins, not just Mesoamerica. FAMSI is also a fantastic resource, though it might be a bit hard to parse without some sort of foundational level of knowledge about the region's history. Mexicolore is easily digestible and has a lot of good, neat info, but there's some errors mixed in there since while it has a lot of articles written by experts, the site's owners themselves aren't historians, so as with FAMSI it might be better to read the askhistorians links first so you can have a foundation to know what seems suspect or not.
Jabberwockxeno, very interesting post. Unfortunately few people take the time to consider history for the nuanced and complex sequence of events and interactions it is.

Why is wendigo classified with the ape men? It’s original appearance looks more like a husk and are closely similar to Ghouls, which aren’t on the ape men map.
Probably simply due to the origins of what a wendigo started out as. A hominid like creature that was either once human, or something closely related to them. Being as many sightings of it are similar in both location and climate to ape men/bigfoot sightings, wendigo get classified as a sub-species of sorts would be my guess.
Digital Mystique The original appearance of Wendigos weren’t horned, that’s the modern day’s popular appearance, the original appearance were pale skinny figures with tight decaying looking skin. The location thing could be true, but wendigo spottings are mostly world wide besides just in North America. Oh well doesn’t matter too much just seemed odd it was listed as an ape man.
@@saulkage4223 I never mentioned anything about it's appearance distinctly. Obviously there will be misconceptions due to them being urban legends, much like how myths and religion changed throughout the years. That's besides the point though. Given it's a hominid bipedal like creature which can be found, or has been sighted in regions with bigfoot (Never said just the United States) we can attribute these similarities to it being classified with bigfoot.
@@futur3ndings651 Fun fact, Wendigos aren't urban legends, they're actually more of a mythological thing, more comparable to a centaur than a sasquatch. Also, they were described, visually, by native north Americans as more along the lines of zombies, giants and ogres (among other things, depending on the region) - there's basically little resemblance to Bigfoot and all that jazz.
Blows my mind that people are angry at Trey for criticising and disproving racists. Believe it or not, racism is wrong, not just morally but scientifically, so in a discussion about racist scientific theories it isn't out of place to bring it up.
I saw a Bigfoot once. I was at my families and you will get together when a Bigfoot wondering into the party moaning and groaning like there was no tomorrow.

Montandon's theories were made primarily for racial reasons rather than scientific (which is probably the reason why he fabricated evidence in the first place). His theories are so intertwined in racism that its difficult to separate the two.
I did a lot of research for this video and just wanted to talk about the full story. If you are just going to complain then please just go somewhere else as I'm not too interested. If you had a criticism with the length, I will take your criticism into consideration for next time, I understand if you felt like I dwelt on it too long. My bad if I made it sound preachy as that wasn't my intention. I guess I might have been less dramatic and done and phrased this a little differently in hindsight. I guess all of this is a learning experience and I'll definitely keep some of your criticisms into consideration in the future.
Also for people talking about the claim that Piranhas and Electric Eels don't kill people, I guess you could find isolated and rare reports of deaths, but they are so rare and require such specific conditions I wouldn't even count them. They definitely aren't anywhere close to how Percy described them.
TREY the Explainer I love your work
Thanks!
TREY the Explainer Don't take it personally. With potlical climate as it is people on both "sides" are losing there minds over the smallest thing. Video was good.
Yeah, I see what you mean, man. It's ridiculous and I never really had to deal with it until now all of a sudden. It's stupid that merely mentioning and somewhat criticizing racism makes me a crazy Liberal in the eyes of some people. I was just trying to make a super depressing topic somewhat more tolerable.
anyways thanks!
If someone actually agrees with Montandon's beliefs I would genuinely be at risk of death by laughter. Not even 21st century racists and neonazis can be dumb enough to believe in hologenesis, right?

Good work Trey, here's some more information that truly bangs the last nail into this cryptid coffin.
In 1999, the July-August edition of the Venezuelan scientific magazine Interciencia published a letter sent in 1962 from Doctor Enrique Tejera to the editor Guillermo José Schael of the magazine Diario El Universal:
[…] "This monkey is a myth. I will tell you his story. […]
Mister Montandon said that the monkey had no tail. That is for sure, but he forgot to mention something, it has no tail because it was cut off. I can assure you this, gentlemen, because I saw the amputation…[].
Who is speaking here in 1917 was working in a camp for oil exploration in the region of Perijá. The geologist was François de Loys, the engineer Dr. Martín Tovar Lange. De Loys was a prankster and often we laughed at his jokes. One day they gave him a monkey with an ill tail, so it was amputated. Since then de Loys called him “el hombre mono” (the monkey man).
Some time later I and de Loys went in another region of Venezuela: in an area called Mene Grande. He always walked along the side of his monkey, who died some time later. De Loys decided to take a photo and I believe that Mr. Montandon will not deny it is the same photograph that he presented today. [in 1929 Montandon presented the Ameranthropoides in a public lecture].
More recently during a visit to Paris my astonishment was great visiting the Museum of Man. On top of a monumental scale, filling the back wall, there was a huge photo with the caption: “The first anthropoid ape discovered in America.”
It was the photograph of de Loys, beautifully modified. The plants were no longer visible in the background, and it was not possible to understand on which kind of box the monkey was sitting. The trick is done so well that within a few years the monkey will be over two meters high […].
Finally, I must warn you: Montandon was not a good person. After the war he was executed because he betrayed France, his homeland."
Sincerely, Your friend Enrique Tejera.
As for de Loys, he continued his geological career and in 1926 he joined a Turkish Petroleum Company. In 1928 he became a fellow of the Geological Society of London and went off to Iraq to study the local geology and the possible oil reserves to be found in the region.
Sowing his wild oats, he contracted syphilis, returned to the town of Lausanne in France ( edit: Switzerland) where he died young, on October 16, 1935.
Thank you so much for this information, I really appreciate it as the info on this one was super hard to find :)
TREY the Explainer It's a little sad though. When i was very young, I came across Bernard Huevellmans "On the track of Unknown Animals".
This one I was SURE was a real critter ( Not a blurry photo or an anecdotal account). Sadly, it seems all of them will remain unknown as they probably never existed in the first place.

7:58 I love how the European, American and Malay all have pretty much the exact same skull but because of one tiny little feature they just said “nope. different jaw length, totally different species”
Tbf, I often wonder at paleontological species differentiation, esp in partial specimens.
I'm no expert, like at all, but I think I may have some insight.
In paleoanthropology, when differentiating very similar species like homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis, for instance, they look for "suites" of differences. it helps if the species has a very unique trait, such as the occipital bun of Neanderthals. No human has been recorded to have had a real occipital bun. This feature, along with other differences, forms a "suite", or series, of traits that define one species from the other.
That being said, paleontologist and paleoanthropologists are constantly switching things around as they evaluate and reevaluate new and old materials.
Genetic makeup is another part of what helps us define more modern species. This can't be used for dinosaurs, obviously, though.
At the end of the day, paleontologists really just have to be very discerning and use all given information to come to the best, most logical conclusion about species and phylogeny. @kyrab7914

As a brazilian myself I could state something: piranhas can swarm a man and leave one's bare bones in less than 20 minutes. Gargantuan anacondas could be just augmented(yet existing) jibóias, which can measure up to 15 to 20meters.
Everything else is very much far-fetched but these ones can be true.
Great video, may E.L. Wallace bless you abundantly
@Pragmaticist I am native from Manaus, Amazonas (Amazon) and fishers use animal flesh to fish piranhas in the river, and from my experience in fishing here, just a single piranha can bite the top of a finger with ease. (it happened to my grandma by the way)
Jeremy Wade debunked man eating piranhas. They're mostly harmless to people.
All the French know is retreat & defeat.
Despite having the most amount of military victories than any other modern country, and beating the Brits on several occasions. Dont really know where the whole "French Always retreat" thing came from, but they were the frontline in WW1 and didn't get any meaningful support in WW2.
Check out the size of an anaconda they found in a mine in south America somewhere, can't remember where exactly but those cock suckers did exist and the native populations had to deal with them

The idea that someone is 'racist' and therefore wrong no matter what is absurd. Leftists will pour shit on every great man of history if his views aren't politically correct in 2018. Fucking NPCs.
@@yobob591 So was the man who masterminded the US space program, so what?
I’ve noticed that the offense at the mention of racism tends to come from the further-right wing of politics most of the time. The general belief on that side is that racism is no longer a factor in the modern world and a lot of people over there really don’t like people claiming that prejudice based on race still exists.
"Adventurers" have been embellishing the truth for as long as they have been out there. Marco Polo's village where there were people with alsatian dog heads is a great example.
If you go back as far as the first Spanish expeditions it gets more believable (as far as civilizations go not weird monsters) there is more and more evidence that there were lsrfe civilizations in the Amazon. Archeology is little more than than dogma and philosophy due to how little evidence they rely on, never forget that. Watch Graham Hancocks JRE interviews whether you agree with his ideas or not he highlights this heavily and the incredulous dogma in the archeological feild.

You need to replace "windigo" with "grass man " in your map. Wendigos are a different story/myth/cryptid altogether.
Thank you! Came here just to say that.
I mean... that map has a "broad" definition of human- like- ape- cryptid. In europe (i'll stick to europe as i am unsure about the others) we can see on the map ice giants of nordic sagas and Grendel from the tale of Beowulf. Both are content of old legends, not historical sightings like bigfoot or the florida ape man. The map might've featured cyclopes and Goliath as well, as these come from equally uncertain legends as well.

It's an interesting story that involves a lot of (potentially false) memories of people having seen a photo but no one can produce the original. A bunch of cowboys supposedly killed a very very large bird (some report it was a pterosaur but most seem to suggest it was a bird hence the connection to the Native American legend of the Thunderbird) and were photographed with it. Obviously the skeptic in me says the photo is likely a combination of bad memory and people believing the hoaxes are the real thing but I'd love to see if you could dig anything more definitive up on the subject or just give your take.
Love the channel btw!
Why ask? Just look through the channel. It's not that hard.
Cryptid idea: Do big cat cryptids! In UK and america and stuff. A cougar was once actually caught in Scotland, someone's released pet
Oh yes, PLEASE, I want that to happen! It'd be nice to hear about some mysteries closer to home!

Looks more like a basking shark tbh
You fools its obviously _manbearpig_

I like how you point out the public views of the people who wrote those "historic" documents. They were extremely ignorant back then. That it's hard to believe anything they wrote.

Movie plot: The alleged "missing links" that attack the expedition are a hidden society of old world creatures that are tasked to protect the crystal skull stolen by the expedition (as well as other precious artifacts of their culture)
The theft of the skull and cold blooded murder of one of its sacred keepers places a curse on the expedition, causing them to slowly die off from increasingly disturbing and mysterious ways, leaving the "lucky" survivors to progressively descend into madness and lunacy, unable to tell what's real and what's fake
Wow
I suggest the el chupacabra or the mokele mbembe. Save Bigfoot for a later video
Yeah the Chupacabra would be interesting. They depictions of it are quite varied

Chupacabras are just manged canines.
Your Moist Grandma yea they are.
It's not "the el chupacabra", it's "el chupacabras" or "the chupacabras" (singular). "El" already means "the". In Spanish, unlike in English, the _s_ is required for it to mean "the sucker of goats"; "el chupacabra" would mean "the sucker of one goat". If you want to anglicize it, just call it the goatsucker.
¿Shouldn't that be 'las chupacabras'?
Didn’t an electric eel cause a death in one of the episodes of River Monsters? It charred a mans skin after he was thrown into a group of them by a horse right?

The most ironic bit about all of this 18/19th/20th century race theory stuff about the Native Americans is that the original conquistador accounts and Spanish interactions with Mesoamerican and Andean groups is pretty consistent in that they viewed them as highly capable, intelligent, and cultured people, moreso then the average person today thinks of those civilizations, even (as unfortunately the view that they were a bunch of "stone age savages" is still common). Of course, the Conquistadors had no qualms about massacring and exploiting these people, but they didn't at all view them as inferior or primitive: As an example, here's an account of Cortes describing workers from Tenochtiitlan, the Aztec capital, constructing a bridge:
"They agreed to work at it viribus et posse, and began at once to divide the task between them, and I must say that they worked so hard, and with such good will, that in less than four days they constructed a fine bridge, over which the whole of the men and horses passed. So solidly built it was, that I have no doubt it will stand for upwards of ten years without breaking -unless it is burnt down - being formed by upwards of one thousand beams, the smallest of which was as thick round as a man's body, and measured nine or ten fathoms (16.8-18m) in length, without counting a great quantity of lighter timber that was used as planks. And I can assure your Majesty that I do not believe there is a man in existence capable of explaining in a satisfactory manner the dexterity which these lords of Tenochtitlan, and the Indians under them, displayed in constructing the said bridge: I can only say that it is the most wonderful thing that ever was seen. "
You see similar praises of respect and impressiveness in regards to their cities, here's an excerpt from Bernal Diaz about Tenochtitlan itself:
"Our astonishment was indeed raised to the highest pitch, and we could not help remarking to each other, that all these buildings resembled the fairy castles we read of in Amadis de Gaul; so high, majestic, and splendid did the temples, towers, and houses of the town, all built of massive stone and lime, rise up out of the midst of the lake. Indeed, many of our men asked if what they saw was a mere dream. And the reader must not feel surprised at the manner in which I have expressed myself, for it is impossible to speak coolly of things which we had never seen nor heard of, nor even could have dreamt of, beforehand..... After we had sufficiently gazed upon this magnificent picture, we again turned our eyes toward the great market, and beheld the vast numbers of buyers and sellers who thronged there. The bustle and noise occasioned by this multitude of human beings was so great that it could be heard at a distance of more than four miles. Some of our men, who had been at Constantinople and Rome, and traveled through the whole of Italy, said that they never had seen a market-place of such large dimensions, or which was so well regulated, or so crowded with people as this one at Mexico."
Mind you, these accounts are accurate: Tenochtitlan had a population 200k and 250k, and covering over 1300 hectacres, making it in the tp 5 largest cities in the world at the time, and built on a lake with artificial islands and venice like canals and aquaducts, as well. And while Tenochtitlan was exceptional, to be sure, being the largest city in the Americas at this point (It still is: As Mexico city, though the lake is drained now), large cities, well kept cities were common (in fact, urban cities with state goverments had been the norm in the region for well over 1000 years by this point). Here's a discrption of the city of Tlaxcala, which while still moderately large with a population between 20k and 40k, wasn't nearly as exceptional as Tenochtitlan:
"The city is indeed so great and marvellous that though I abstain from describing many things about it, yet the little that I shall recount is, I think, almost incredible. It is much larger than Granada and much better fortified. Its houses are as fine and its inhabitants far more numerous than those of Granada when that city was captured. Its provisions and food are likewise very superior... There are gold, silver and precious stones, and jewellers' shops selling other ornaments made of feathers, as well arranged as in any market in the world. There is earthenware of many kinds and excellent quality, as fine as any in Spain. Wood, charcoal, medicinal and sweet smelling herbs are sold in large quantities. There are booths for washing your hair and barbers to shave you: there are also public baths. Finally, good order and an efficient police system are maintained among them, and they behave as people of sense and reason: the foremost city of Africa cannot rival them."
You see similar praises for the intelligence and moral character of the nobility and royalty of these city-states and empires (they even married into Spanish nobility in many cases after the conquest, again, showing how the Spanish viewed these as proper nations and cultures, not as savage primitives), their goldwork and featherwork (The Spanish even commissioned native featherworkers to make paintings of catholic iconography out of tens of thousands of iridescent feathers rather then paint, which was an indigenous artform used by many mesoamerican groups, a few of these still survive today and they are gorgeous) was well praised etc.
It's only decades into the Colonial period where you start to see race theory first pop up, and the capabilities and accomplishments of native groups swept under the rug, in an effort to justify increasing exploitation and oppressing of native people.
this is super interesting, i never knew that. so what, even after that they decided "eh lets kill them all and destroy this beautiful civilisation :)" what trash... my heart aches
+it me: I mean, it's a little more nuanced then that, but for the Conquistadors, yeah, basically: The Conquistadors were motivated by greed and a desire for personal glory, and ostensibly a desire to spread Catholicism. Regardless of if they actually cared about the last bit, the fact that the native city-states and empires (Note that the Aztec empire, while hugely dominant and had conquered huge swaths of the region, was not the only political state in the region, so there's not a singular civilization: The city of Tlaxcala, which I mention above, for example belonged to a republic of the same name it composed with 4 other cities, and were enemies of the Aztecs, though they belonged to the samee larger ethnic/cultural group (The Nahua), but there were also plenty of non-Nahua states who such as the Tututepec empire down south which was Mixtec, or the Tarascan empire to the west which was Purépecha, etc ) were pagan provided the Conquistadors with an excuse to justify the conquest of them.
But it's also not quite that simple: You have to remember that one of the most important factors in Cortes's success, alongside loads of insane luck (I cannot stress how absurd and contrived the string of events that allowed him to succeed are) and disease, was that he had the support of various native states: The Republic of Tlaxcala was their biggest ally, for example, and a variety of Aztec city-states flipped sides, and a number of independent ones joined the Conquistadors as well. So it's not as if the Conquistadors were acting alone. And while it's true that these states couldn't foreesee the disastrous consequences their actions would have on their world as they knew it, I don't think the Conquistadors or the Crown did ether, as I'll explain in a minute.
Speaking of the Crown, though, it's worth noting Cortes's expedition was illegal and unsanctioned, they weren't terribly interested in widespread colonialism or the mainland yet. Once Cortes had toppled the Aztec empire and reported back, after deciding not to execute him (since he had just secured them a massive revenue stream by virtue of all of the Aztec's tributaries now sending their tribute to Spain, which is the very thing that convinced them and other European powers to pursue colonialism and to have it be feasible), they got interested, and their primary motivation was to rule over and profit from them: Remember how I said before how the royalty and nobility of native states married into Spanish nobility? Initially, much of existing mesoamerican culture and politics was kept intact, with "just" native religion being suppressed (I say "just" because that still meant the burning of nearly all native texts and dismantling of temples, which makes the Burning of thee library of Alexandria seem like spilt milk in comparison in terms of the amount of historical information and literary works lost), so at this stage it's not really accurate to say native civilization was destroyed: it could be argued that it was even a better arrangement for some of the Aztec's tributaries.
Again, while the Conquistadors often continued to commit abuses as they continued to conquer city-states and empires across the region (as with the toppling of the Aztecs, however, native armies did the vast majority of the work, the Conquistadors would have lost to even only moderately sized states in the region if they were fighting alonee), you only really, truly saw the systemic dismantling of native civilization and culture decades later as diseases continued to decimate the native population and Spain was compelled to change up their imperial strategy from merely ruling over and collecting taxes from native states to outright exploiting them for slave labor and depriving them of rights and thee neear eradication of native social, political, and cultural practices.
This is a very brief, rough summary, if you want more information I high suggest you take a look at this list of posts i've compiled on Mesoamerican history from Askhistorians here: pastebin DOT com SLASH HD7gdupT ; especially the "did_the_spanish_see_the_aztecs_as_racially..." link. I also have a personal booklist, mostly taken from suggestions from the above posts; but as it's unorganized, I haven't read all of therm yet, and as some of them are just stuff I thought seemed cool rather then recommendations from knowledgeable people, i'm hesitant to post it, but that's here: pastebin DOT com SLASH HD7gdupT ;Worth noting that there's also some stuff on the Andes (the region the Inca, Chimu, Wari Moche, Tiwanku, etc are from) both pastebins, not just Mesoamerica.
FAMSI is also a fantastic resource, though it might be a bit hard to parse without some sort of foundational level of knowledge about the region's history. Mexicolore is easily digestible and has a lot of good, neat info, but there's some errors mixed in there since while it has a lot of articles written by experts, the site's owners themselves aren't historians, so as with FAMSI it might be better to read the askhistorians links first so you can have a foundation to know what seems suspect or not.
Jabberwockxeno, very interesting post. Unfortunately few people take the time to consider history for the nuanced and complex sequence of events and interactions it is. People prefer easy generalisations (often politically motivated) that too often butcher accuracy.
I'll take a look at your links, thanks.
Jabberwockxeno really love both of your comments good stuff, I'm of mayan decent myself and I'm glad some people that arent myself know that the native Americans weren't just running around naked killing each other like most people think
Thank God Spanish came brought religion and meat and stopped the mass cannablesm of the my mesoamerican ancestors.Tho blood lust might be returning to Mexico.Hopefully the can be a Christian revival.

Why is wendigo classified with the ape men? It’s original appearance looks more like a husk and are closely similar to Ghouls, which aren’t on the ape men map.
Probably simply due to the origins of what a wendigo started out as. A hominid like creature that was either once human, or something closely related to them. Being as many sightings of it are similar in both location and climate to ape men/bigfoot sightings, wendigo get classified as a sub-species of sorts would be my guess.
Digital Mystique
The original appearance of Wendigos weren’t horned, that’s the modern day’s popular appearance, the original appearance were pale skinny figures with tight decaying looking skin. The location thing could be true, but wendigo spottings are mostly world wide besides just in North America. Oh well doesn’t matter too much just seemed odd it was listed as an ape man.
@@saulkage4223 I never mentioned anything about it's appearance distinctly. Obviously there will be misconceptions due to them being urban legends, much like how myths and religion changed throughout the years. That's besides the point though. Given it's a hominid bipedal like creature which can be found, or has been sighted in regions with bigfoot (Never said just the United States) we can attribute these similarities to it being classified with bigfoot.
@@futur3ndings651 Fun fact, Wendigos aren't urban legends, they're actually more of a mythological thing, more comparable to a centaur than a sasquatch. Also, they were described, visually, by native north Americans as more along the lines of zombies, giants and ogres (among other things, depending on the region) - there's basically little resemblance to Bigfoot and all that jazz.
They are! A eastern form of bigfoot found in the forests of North eastern America. Most come in white color phase.
