Hello Friends! 👋While working on the relict hominids stories like Yeren (China's Wild Man), Rock Ape (Vietnam) Orang Pendek (Indonesia) and Almas (Caucasus), how is it possible that "similar" stories of these "wild man" can occur in different parts of the world? It brought me to find out more about early human migrations and let me to thought "could these be "relict hominins" that migrated out of Africa and they somehow managed to survive until modern time? It took wars and rapid urban expansion before we started to hear more about their "sightings" as modern humans started to intrude the wilderness. It is just a theory from me with 0 scientific backing but I just find it fascinating.
With that, I'll be starting a new mini-series on Prehistoric human starting with "How Prehistoric Human Tried to "How Prehistoric Humans Tried to Take Over the Earth": https://youtu.be/NJQJ4o9XtzA

Hello friends! I found this interesting story based on real accounts from a Japanese soldier in WW2 through a Netflix movie. It got me interested and I went to do some research on it. This investigation revolves around Orang ikan (Fish Man) sightings by multiple Japanese soldiers in Kei islands (Indonesia).
The leader of the squad reportedly saw a decreased body of the Orang ikan but he couldn't take any live photo due to military rules and lack of camera equipment. His story was dismissed by zoologist back in his country since he couldn't produce any "credible" evidence. The villagers in those islands live in co-existence with the Orang ikans and their stories were passed down orally through generations. Watch the video as we deep dive into the actual story itself: https://youtu.be/L3GDablibo8

The Phoenix legend you know is only half the story. 🔥

For centuries, we've associated this mythical bird with fire and rebirth. But what if the original, more powerful version never needed to burn at all?

Our latest investigation delves into the incredible true story of the Chinese Fenghuang—a celestial creature that didn't rise from ashes, but was believed to crown emperors and judge the moral fate of an entire nation. From a real prehistoric ostrich to a "king maker," its journey will change how you see this global myth.

So we have to ask: which myth is more powerful—one that offers personal rebirth, or one that decides if a leader is worthy to rule?

What if the legend of the Yeti was just a distraction?

For decades, the debate has been about a mysterious creature in the snow. But history has hidden a far more startling and well-documented case: Zana, a "wild woman" captured in the 19th-century Caucasus mountains.

She lived among humans, possessed strength that defied belief, and even had children whose descendants have been studied by modern science. That case is real, and it's just the beginning.

In our new deep-dive investigation, we unravel the story of Zana and two other forgotten "Wild Men": China's towering Yeren and Sumatra's elusive Orang Pendek. These aren't just myths; they are complex mysteries that challenge our understanding of human evolution and the secrets our world still holds.

Are we truly alone in our intelligence?

🐪 New video is up: "The Forgotten Roads of the Silk Road"
Ever wonder what stories might have unfolded along those ancient trade routes?

In this video, I explore some fascinating "what if" scenarios - the kind of tales that could have happened among the merchants, travelers, and adventurers who risked everything crossing continents.

The Silk Road wasn't just about silk and spices. It was about human ambition, survival, and the incredible journeys people took for trade and discovery.

What draws you to historical storytelling? Do you prefer the documented facts, or do you enjoy imagining the untold stories that history books can't capture?

👇 Let me know what historical period or civilization you'd like me to explore next!
