On December 1, 2007, a sensational statement by a group of journalists led by Josh Gates spread throughout the world media. TV reporters worked in Nepal on a new season of the cycle under the general project title "Destination Truth", and returned from the expedition with stunning results.
According to the official statement, in the Nepal Valley near Mount Chomolungma, at an altitude of 2.8 km, they managed to find and make a cast - of footprints Bigfoot …
It would seem a sensation - however, the world scientific and research community greeted this news completely indifferently, and here's why …
So, according to Josh Gates, the main trophy of researchers is a rather clear plaster print of the "right paw", 33 cm long, with five fingers. The distance between the outermost fingers is about 25 cm.
Also, an imprint was found, apparently, a heel, and another completely indistinct trace.
When asked why they found only three prints, Gates replied that the find was made in a rocky area. Impressed by the find, Gates says the print closely resembles that of a humanoid creature. But at the same time, in his opinion, it is unlikely that the discovered trail was left by a person or some kind of animal (for example, a bear).
