I've seen a photo of it, and I think the less sensational explanation accompanied it, probably in Strange magazine some years ago.

Michael Jackson would probably outbid him - I don't recall how much he paid for the elephant man skeleton, but I'm sure it was much more than $10K.

I think the mountain mummy would make a nice complement to the elephant man skeleton.

These are the "little guys" whose cousins inhabit certain isolated areas of the Southwest where they are called Mokis. They taught the Arapahoes to make a laminated bow out of mountainsheep horn in ancient times. Arrows shot from replicas of these bows have been "chrono-ed" at near supersonic speeds. Tiny arrowpoints are sometimes found and are erroneously identified as "birdpoints." They are actually arrowtips from the "little guys." Small structures with doorways too small to accept more than a searching human arm are erroneously called "granaries." These were Moki dwellings in ancient times. We hunters and prospectors who wander the isolated mesas and hidden canyons of the Southwest, always speak of them around our campfires with the deepest respect.

That's usually the same story..."Oh, it's just an infant baby...or someone with a deformity..." Yea Yea Yea. But look at it in the context of what it actually is. How it was found. The story is an amazing one.

The body was located in a boulder and that boulder was located under a mountain. Miners used explosives to tunnel under the mountain, and discovered that the boulder had cracked in two. Peering into the crack they noticed a cavity. Inside the boulder they discovered a tiny hollow. Within this hollow was a kind of alter with the body sitting flat on the shelf.

There wasn't any evidence of an opening. There wasn't any evidence that are typical of burials of ANY kind. This is a unique event that needs to be researched. I am glad that someone is doing so.
