UNLOCKED SECRETS
It seems that there has been another setback in trying to confirm the existence of one of people's greatest myths, the Yeti. The Yeti is a tall ape-like creature that many people believe to be living in the region of the Himalayas in Nepal. Although people claimed to have seen the elusive creature, there is still no solid evidence that it does truly exist, which leaves it a legend to many.
For many years, the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in London has been in possession of a mummified, blackened and curled finger that has for long been thought to be that of a Yeti. With 3.5 inches long and nearly an inch thick, the finger was supposedly part of a Yeti's hand, which had apparently been kept in Nepal's Pangboche Temple for decades, until mountain climber Peter Byrne got one of the fingers smuggled out of Nepal after making a deal with the monks there in 1959.
Despite the hope that the finger could be a piece of evidence to prove the Yeti's existence, recent DNA analysis has finally proven that the finger indeed belongs to a human instead of the mythical beast, much to the dismay of many Yeti believers.
