The Almas also known as Abnauayu, Almasty, Albasty, Bekk-bok, Biabin-guli, Golub-yayan, Gul-biavan, Auli-avan, Kaptar, Kra-dhun, Ksy-gyik, Ochokochi, Mirygdy, Mulen, Voita, and Wind-man. The term Almas is
Mongolian for “Wild man”. These creatures are unconfirmed, but there is quite a bit of evidence of their existence. The territory of the Almas includes the
Altai Mountains of Southern Mongolia, The
Pamir Mountains of Asia, and the
Caucasus of Central Asia.
The Almas are reported to be a
bipedal primate or hominids which are very human-like. Adults average five to six feet tall, and some reports have them near seven feet, and 300 pounds. They have early human like facial features with a heavy brow line, prominent chin, and flat broad nose. Their bodies are covered with brown hair with a reddish tint. This description brings to mind the image of the caveman.
A sighting was described by
Myra Shackley in her article “Still Living?”. She reports a 1963 event by pediatrician Ivan Ivlov who was working with Mongolian children. He discovered that many of the children had seen the Almases. Neither was afraid of each other.
Some Crypto zoologists believe the
Almas may be related to the Neanderthal, which may lend credence to the story of
Zana the wild woman who was thought to be an Almas who lived among humans in
T’khina in the Caucasus near
Abkhazia. She was captured in 1850 and soon became part of the village. She gave birth to several children, from a human father. Surviving children grew up to be normal and functional members of the village. Zana died in 1890.
A
second captured Almas happened in 1941 by the Red Army. Unfortunately, the male was interrogated by the army, and was either unable or refused to answer questions. He was executed for being a spy. He was reported to be very human like with dark brown hair covering his body.
In recent
DNA testing of the Human Race, it was determined that most modern Caucasian Humans have some genes from the
Neanderthal. The report goes on to say the genes are not existent in those who originating in Africa. This report seems to indicate that those from Europe must have had children with the Neanderthal in the early beginnings of modern man. This leads to all kinds of speculation.
Could
Bigfoot be related to the Almas? Could the Almas be Neanderthal? Could Bigfoot be our cousins?
