Secrets from the Archive: E3 - Neanderthal Genocide in the Swiss Alps

[@AFloridaSon]

Let's take a moment to acknowledge how lucky we are that Gary Mangiacopra collected these stories, and how lucky we are that Hammerson got them. Much appreciation for both men.

Your stupid.

[@AudaciousAmber]

I would love to help you upload and do things. It would be nice to find you a website that didn't charge you to do all that I mean this is amazing work that you're doing

[@masonfaraday9020]

Never have I ever thought that Hammerson would talk about Altamaha-ha.

[@quinbatcheller5805]

Some of the wild man masks remind me of first nation's depictions of what we've come to know as sasquatch. It always interests me when there's consistencies across cultures like this. Truly fascinating.

[@HammersonPeters]

Very true. They share some startling similarities with the Bukwus masks from Vancouver Island.

[@luminous3357]

Was thinking the same thing. Very similar!

*Every time Hammerson Peters uploads a new video/story, I don’t even think about the writing quality or about how exhaustive his research obviously is. I just go there and listen, and watch.* . 💜

Oh yahhhh…..love this channel, even the comment section everyone is just awesome. Now I shall sit back and enjoy this one. ✌🏽

[@asiatravel2010]

Hammerson, every time I see Gary's boxes from the archive I am reminded of the adventure you had which accompanied by the struggle you endured will no doubt be a story you will live many years to tell your loved ones. It feels so satisfying knowing I played a small part in assisting you on your travels, to bring back what is truly a treasure of our time. Thank you for your ongoing dedication to the mysterious unknown.

[@markpaul-ym5wg]

Exactly.Did you know that an ederly lady took pictures of it coming out of the water in the early morning hours and said it would eat leaves off of the trees close to the lake? She took numerous photos of it.I have tried in vain to find that video from 1976.

[@VirideSoryuLangley]

It seems strange to me that a brief conflict, taking place tens of thousands of years ago, could have left such a deep impression on the local culture. I know of traumatic events which happened in my town/country mere decades ago, and are already forgotten. So I suspect this war lasted a long time, and ended not too long ago.

[@mindsight9732]

Oral traditions are weird like that though, and mountain people are 'sheltered'. Like do you even know why christmas trees are a thing, thats dub, but it stuck and is similar. The tradition isn't too far outside All saints day traditions, yet this is local history, coulkd easily be bronze age, and would be worth a academic look assuming the traditions survived WWs. When wouldn't be the only oral tradition of one tribe đefinantly recording going to war to commit genocide as a important event. 'tribe of red haired cannibal giants burned to death in a cave' over across the pond.

[@PUBHEAD1]

Awesome timing for a new Hammerson vid. Sunday yard work done, time to sit back in the garden with a well earned afternoon beverage and listen to these stories.

[@highspeeddeathracer]

In Austria we have almost the same tradition as you recall here in the swiss alps. I myself was doing a lot of research in the sasquatch theme and was wondering why out ancestors here made these masks and furs to cover themselfs in these traditions. I often was thinking that they must have seen something similar to reproduce these looks. Awesome that you told us this story. Thank you very much Mr. Peters! Your channel is the history lesson I love!

My friend had a band called Ultima Haha inspired by the Monster!!!😊😊😊

[@Inlinetodie]

Please let me share In 2020, i had 3:21 with what most call a Sasquatch, i stood 15ft from its feet, it was at least 4ft taller than me, im just over 6ft tall. Imho, it was a Neanderthal, ive seen the skeletons of Neanderthals and asked how old they were when they died, the Tyrell museum curator, explained the skeletons of Neanderthals, are in the stages of development, meaning they were not adults. I spoke with the curator, explained what i saw and what had occurred. The curator explained, how they had a long femur bone, thought it was for a 2 legged carnivore from the triassic period, then later discovered, it would have been perfectly suited for a full grown adult Neanderthal. I asked where it was and if i could view it, the curator stated, all unaccounted fossils, are taken to Ottawa and stored... Canadian Federal Archives... Its a Canadian Fort Knox, can see it on google earth.. So we have unaccounted skeletons, stored in Ottawa, Canada and it isnt public knowledge as i had to inquire and ask the correct questions with perfect timing.

[@mindsight9732]

Ya that femur would give bigfoot great adaptation to uneven terrain. Neanderthals were nearly a foot bigger then contemporary humans too, even before accounting for the age disparity towards young bones. KZbinr Thinkathunker has an idea, and a limb ratio disparity lines up with patterson footage. Lines up with indian perspective too, bigfoot is closer to us then not, effectivly being considered tribes. The question then becomes why are goverments so proactive to hide, dismiss, and shelter them.

[@Inlinetodie]

@mindsight9732 ...evidence in the forests of BC and AB, take a look, ever wonder why the military corps of engineers, destroyed all the original trees? Guess who lived in those giant trees... It would take up to a year to fall the original trees of BC and AB, should ask why they destroyed trees, when everything here, was made of Stone, before the 1400s... Indians, didn't live in TeePees, until white people, destroyed their stones houses. There's literally evidence of stone houses, across Canada, USA and Mexico...funny how everyone forgets, the Pyramids of Alaska and the temples of Canada... Can see them on Google Earth anytime 😊

[@fairyencyclopedia]

These archives are incredible. I'm particularly fascinated by the wild men stories. Thanks for putting the archives on the internet. I will be doing more research on the wild men to add to my list. I'm trying to create the largest, most complete list of wild men on the internet. The altamahaha story was interesting too. The idea that the loch ness monster influenced the myth is interesting. I think its more serpentlike because of Indigenous influence. Many, many Native American tribes have serpent myths.

[@DirtySanchez943]

Altama haha is terrifying!!!😢😢😢

[@nicollekyostia6764]

1) I love all your videos and watch every one 2) I couldn't help but notice some funny contradictions in the beginning. Like saying how the masks portray typical hairy man features like square teeth, the whole time showing one with hideously pointy teeth. Or how you say participants prowl silently while showing them jogging down a street with huge bells. Anyways, great video as always. Love the obscure legends you share with us all! I always learn something I never knew before!

[@nonamenoname1737]

Could it be that what we were told were Neanderthals are in fact Sasquatch?? Hammerson there is an interesting custom that the Squamish nation Medicine men take part in that eludes to some of their younger men who go on a 10 year journey to learn the secrets of the land that grow so wild and an8mal like, grow hair where there was. One before, grow in stature, and take on attributes and characteristics that are let’s say not very human like, and that these same men they are sometimes mistaken for the big guy and are often never found. Those that are brought back go through extreme bouts of integration back into culture and society…they call these people, the smaylih! Lots of info, some great articles, worthy of your time and an episode for sure! Cheers for all that you do!

[@Mickster71]

So Icelandic authorities came up against real ELF AND SAFETY concerns when building roads 😄

[@FMJIRISH]

I'm not surprised there's stories of little people in Iceland, almost all the population are descended from Irish slave women bought in the Viking settlement of Dublin before the main settlement of the island - not hard to understand where the story came from in that context I think.

[@이동연-c6d]

8:49 I never heard about the Neanderthal genocide which happens in 1850. It’s very shocking that that incident happen in mid 19th century and the Neanderthal are still exist at that time….

[@panatypical]

Your first item may well have substance to it, however, your depiction of the "Celtic Helvetians" you mentioned that first is way off. They wouldn't have looked anything like Protokhoisan people. Celts were a physically robust people, and generally fair-featured. You're stuck in that Darwinian track where ancient humans appear quite simian. Try, try again....

[@Kenshiroit]

not celts these events descripted if true should happen around 60-40.000 y ago. This precede the celts by far. Its to early even for the Natufians. This is in the middle of the Paleolithic. Hunter gatherers migrating from Africa, cousins of Aboriginal Australians and Negrita tribes in SA

[@nuniyoa]

[@scarborosasquatchstation1403]

[@kegstahand]

Too much recycling footage in this video, you can't keep showing the same clips like they're new material

[@JackalStandard]

You should torrent these.

[@Lucas-df4ht]

I’d advise doing more research on the academically-verified history surrounding stories like these and including them in the videos to enhance the informative value of these videos, because you perpetuate a lot of known myths about Neanderthals in these videos entirely unrelated to the story itself that make the whole thing seem less credible. For example, Neanderthals could use tools and probably had language too.

[@cannab-al9582]

I couldn't be proud of a job i got because i was the right skin color. What kind of environment would i be working in if they would turn down better qualified people. I dont think it would be great. I also think it infringe on the rights of businesses/cooperations to force them to hire them based on anything but citizenship. As for the poc reading this. You can't force your way into a community and expect them to adore you. There's a longer lasting way to become part of a community that dont require you to alienate yourself from the start. The problem is you want the jobs and money but not the culture. That won't fly anywhere in the world. Obsessively differentiating yourself from those people doesn't help breed trust and friendship. If you're constantly reminding me you're different, then i dont want to be around you. Why would i? Obviously, you're racist and that's exactly what you'd call me if i did the same thing. I dont want to hear about how we're different. Let's talk about the things we share in common. You just drive a wedge between you and other people by obsessing on race. Like morgan freeman said. We stop racism by not constantly talking about it. If al you think about is the negatives in life its all youll see. If you look at life through the lense of rafe, everything will look racist.
