Supposedly a Colin Tudge and Josh Young have co-written a book called "The Link" Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor" due to be released on May 20. The cover (according to rumors, again its all in secrecy) has a fossilized hand, arm and a skeleton.

I agree - those fingers look rather alien-like!

Long skinny fingers. Wonder why the last joints are all bent like that? The 20th isn't too far away, to buy the book or not too. Must be really ground breaking if the Authors are sworn to secrecy with the researchers.

But come on why would skeletal remains be kept in a high security vault? Did they do that when they found Lucy? The Mars rock? It has to be more than a supposed missing link. All this secrecy seems highly suspicious to me. And yes, those fingers do look strange, especially the tips.

Is this the ''brother'' that the Pope skeeks of??

why else would it be locked away in the vatican??

very interesting, i have sat and i went out to that date and time slot and it says to be announced.. no program description, nothing.

An ancestors of ours who is 44 million years old?

I hope it looks human at all?

For some reason something is telling me that this event will indeed be big.
I believe in spiritual forwarnings, and since the beginning of the year, I have been experiencing more and more clues pointing towards something major occuring on my birthday this year.

After numerous bits of research, besides the Jupiter thing, nothing of signifigance appeared until now.

May 25th, the day I turn 21, and now I have something to look forward to. I shall definately be awaiting to find out.

Hello all,
Im rather new to the site, but i have been enjoyinging it throughly as of late as a lurker but this topic energized me to register and post a quick thought on this mysterious show.
After reading the blurb about the book "The Link" and the description of the cover photo it occured to me that this might all have something to do with the supposed Yeti hand that may have been in the Pangboche monistary in Nepal. Im not exactly sure but i believe that samples of the hand were supposed to have been taken by Tom Slick and smuggled out of Nepal by someone (perhaps the actor James Stewart if i remember correctly, i know it sounds crazy lol) If i remember right i believe that the samples either were lost and when they returned to get more the hand had been replaced with a different one that apparently was human; or the samples turned out to be human because the Nepalese monks had pulled the old switch-a-roo with the supposed Yeti hand and that of a human.

Im not 100% on all of my facts but i think that is the jist of the story, anyways it seems like reasonably logical guess. (Although i did just see the photo of the cover of the book posted and that does not look at all the hand that i remember being described in the Pangboche case.) So who knows.

Now I'm really intrigued. A book, a press conferene and some kind of world changing disclosure!

LOL!


It will never live up to the hype. Discovery has such a bad track record. But they sure know how to market a story.

Do I have this correct: A 44 million year old discovery? A book with a picture of an unusual skeleton?

Oh boy. This is almost comical.

just looked on tvguide.com to see what was airing on the history channel that day and it says TBA. . . . weird considering the rest of the program block is complete both several days before and a few after. . . i highly doubt they have any breaking news coming out in a pending docu though . . . i will be tuning in to see whats up
