Scientists examining new images from a satellite equipped with sophisticated imaging technology noticed something very peculiar deep in the primeval Adirondack forest.
The satellite, which employs ultra-high-resolution cameras, lidar, ground penetrating radar, and geo-compression detection hardware, revealed what seemed to be faint remains of an ancient footpath from South America all the way to the heart of what is now the United States. One branch led to the Adirondacks, where there appeared to be a tiny, unknown human settlement in pristine old growth forest. A team of researchers, led by geoscientists Ivan Aufilich and Brad Naylor, was quickly sent to the site to learn more. What they found is just astonishing, to say the least.
In an interview, Auphilich related "It was a long, tiring slog into the remote area, and I couldn't believe my own eyes! Deep in a remote mountain gorge, among swamplands and ancient, gnarled trees, we rather suddenly came upon a small, primitive group of short-statured, self-reliant people."
Despite the language barrier, the researchers learned the reclusive tribe survives in the forest mostly on foraged foods, including such arcane things as yew tubers, whyng nuts, rhode apples, nowun leaves, chuck berries, and Sauer grapes. They even raise diminutive Zy goats for meat, milk, and sei cheese, all of which they typically eat with kowch potatoes.
Auphilich said "This is truly unbelievable, and anyone who does believe it is an April Fool !".

I was enthralled because Ive learned of a 12,000 year old trail form Canada to the Gulf of Mexico that runs through Hardwwick and the
ReplyDeleteBrookfields to the Cape and became the Boston Turnpike in settler's time, and certain groups or farsighted persons are suggesting we provide corridors for wildlife, mankind to be reconnected with nature and to reforest the earth to save the Earth. This is it! I thought. My husband however was skeptical and held his ground. Sheepishly I printed the extended article and April Fool's twist, saying you were right. Better to protect that precious ecosystem and explore as though it were an alien world, a Garden of Eden we modern humans would contaminate with our aura of accompanying lifeforms and dominate with our ill-gotten concepts.

To me this sounds like a hoax. Considering just the first item, "surviving on yew roots,..." and some research on yew root toxicity, "Our conclusion is that the toxic alkaloid taxine is in fact present in yew root as it is in above-ground components of the tree, and that it remains present in the root material for as long as that root material remains undecomposed. Use of yew root in hobbyist or other uses is not recommended unless ingestion of the material is carefully prevented.", a diminutive race of people consuming this material would not be expected to last long.
ReplyDeleteA hoax? Hmmm, I'll have to look into that.
