 		Updates!

Giantology (http://www.giantology.typepad.com/) has been updated, looks OOG still, the author is agreeing that its a hoax. (might just be a red herring though)

Deep Dive Scuba (http://divethedeepscuba.com.au/giant.html) has announced lab results stating that the underwater "statue" is actually made of bone. (big surprise there Rolling Eyes )

Casper Shilling (http://paleoshilling.nl/whatsnew.html) has a new pic of the Jebel-Barez skeleton.

i sent an email to divemaster ed, but i just got a delivery failure back
Casper Shilling's email apparently points to a non-existant domain name Sad looks like they're not doing a very good job at keeping the immersion up. i had hopes for this too

Well, Deep Dive Scuba is now using props. I'd say that one is really starting to move along.

I'm going to keep an eye on them.

Checking the website, under the "Contact Us" button, the email address is:

"ed@divethedeepscuba.com.au"

So, I'm not sure which email address you're saying is wrong?

I just sent this email to Ed:

Quote:

Greetings Ed.

I wanted to send this email to you and let you know I am involved with a community of people whose talents are to discover hidden and meaningful information.

We have taken an interest in your Sunken Giant discovery, and are looking for ways we can assist you.

If you have any other information you have not already shared on your web site, we would be very interested in seeing it.

Also, if you had the contact information of where you received the test results from, perhaps we could contact the person there as well.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Max Steele

And on that note, I think this deserves an IRC channel.

I've made #sunkengiant on chat-solutions.

 		Wow, that's actually a really cool video. It looks very Siberia-ish too. (I wonder where they shot it...) Anyways, in the radio interview, the explorer guy is talking about the Myth of the village Khatanga. I believe there is such a village, but I can't seem to find anything about a crazy monster that eats the villagers. Shocked This and this are maps of the area - I wonder if you could see the creature on Google Earth? There is also an email for him - arkadysimkinSPLATgmail.com Twisted Evil Anyways, this is actually looking to be a pretty cool trailhead. Hope it goes somewhere!

 		I did a Babelfish on the news regarding what they found in the Arctic (Front page has a caption under an iceberg stating it's in the Arctic):


EDIT: Well Duh! There's an "English" button right on the web site. Well, at least the Russian translates to what it says on the English part. Smile I'll leave it here anyway.

5 October 2005
There was today strange day. Radar data I obtained from Polarneft they did not correspond to preliminary data. Actually they not were even close, which naturally forced me to subject to doubt the original data about Viner-Neyshtadt. Since the nonconformities continued, we then decided to investigate section personally and that we found, it was definitely uncommon. The enormous space of section now it seems has remainders of very large animal. This is massive, it is simply massive. I removed this video of animal, but 4 I cannot understand, as these are no one not na.khodil never is this before. The only thing, which makes sense - this that that the navigation in this region was always difficult. Even with the fact that island - in the center of archipelago, this always had very unfavorable ice conditions. Sea conditions are here similar to the northern straits Avstryisky Proliv and it is difficult to investigate, but with the recent reduction of polar sea ice and glacial melting, this region now became more accessible. However, only photographs can actually render proper to this. Enormous four-footed animal with the horns as in bull. Actually this the hybrid of bull, mammoth and rhinoceros – if this thing existed. But its size is actually colossal. Body is covered with the combination of rough fur and solid armor. Since the temperature was lowered, we had to leave, but we made a record in all, that we we could. We did not hallucinate! The section, which I noted, 80 · 47'N, 58 · 10'E and approximately 2.5 miles from the serious glacial break in the northern end of the mountain range – one cannot fail to note.

7 October 2005

This - as if we live on another planet. Our tiny group still in the bewilderment relative to the fact that we found. One of the geologists, which makes three-dimensional seismic surveys with me, he thinks, that the global warming, the stepping back glacial levels and late high winds in this year helped to identify animal. We removed more than video and photographs today, since the weather was considerably better, but this did not last for long. Concerning Polarneft, they requested us so that we would not attend the section because of the considerations of safety. Our small group plans to return again tomorrow in order to make a record of the fact that we will be able.

11 October 2005

Polarneft sent the "rescue unit ', which saved all our equipment. After very quiet return flight in Nenetsky, Polarneft it caused our group for the improvised ' information ' about the fact that we saw.

" The work on the project of a study of the Earth Franz - Joseph it was temporarily deferred because of the geological anomaly on the island Wiener - To neishtadte. Design geologists assume that the archipelago of the Earth Franz - Joseph is volcanic on the origin. As a result further work on the section was deferred, until the corresponding tests were made."

Only with which I can agree - this that that there is koye - that this coming out from the glacier, but certainly not volcanic! I also obtained communication from the radio - producer in England. He wants to speak to me about Viner-Neyshtadt.

13 October 2005

situation became considerably more difficultly after several of us decided not to sign agreement about the nondisclosures. 4 I do not think that any of us expected this serious reaction from the company. Obviously, 4 I do not agree from their point of view, but at the same time, I signed agreement, because 4 not it was very convinced that they will allow me to leave Nenetz. I returned since, 4 could not be connected with whom of my previous associates – alarming fact. I understand the importance of that so that this information it would become known. 4 with the impatience I also await the interview, which 4, as they plan, I will have with the British journalist. If who - either still has an information relative to ' corpuscle, the main thing ', they must want to divide – anonymous or otherwise - if you please be connected with me.

 		Yeah, listening to this 'radio broadcast', it's definitely scripted.

I also did a search for "Polarneft", and didn't get a single hit.

I just sent an email to Mr. Simkin:

Quote:

Good day Mr. Simkin. I belong to a community whose purpose is to locate unknown or unimaginable people, places, and situations, and find out more information on them.

I am quite sure this community would be willing to assist you in any way possible to study this new discovery and get you in touch with people who could do further research.

If you are interested, please reply back to let me know.

We all look forward to hearing from you.

Max Steele

 		Looking at the video again, there's a shot where it looks like a statue, or a robot head. I know it shows them digging and touching fur or hair, but this attached shot looks like a manufactured item. I know this is the shot from the Giantology web site, but their image was shrunk. This is actual size from the video.
