After body parts and hair found in the US and photos like the one below scientists from the US and Russia are gathering to have a honest discussion about this shy creature.
Could this unauthenticated 2007 photo taken in Pennsylvania prove the Yeti’s existence?
Do Yetis really exist? A number of people are convinced they do. And this week, tales of a seldom-seen humanoid wandering the remote regions of the earth will be the focus of an international conference in the central Siberian town of Tashtagol.
Experts from seven countries will gather in Siberia’s Kemerovo province some 3,200 kilometers (1,988 miles) east of Moscow from Oct. 6 – 8 to address the possible existence of the fabled creature. They hope to determine whether the Yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, has truly managed to elude curious explorers for centuries, as some speculate, or if the shy being is merely a myth.
Representatives from Russia, the US, China and four other countries plan to share evidence and analyze the infamous creature’s biology and living habits.
‘Surprising Findings’ in Store
Although experts are hard-pressed to provide indisputable evidence of the Yeti’s existence, the international delegation does intend to present “surprising findings, unique photographs and audio recordings” at the meeting, a spokesperson for the Kemerowo region said.
