According to a report in Nature magazine on October 27, 2004, archaeologists recently found the remains of a tiny, one-meter-tall adult human in Indonesia. This tiny human's brain is only 1/3 the size of the regular human brain. Scientists believe that they were still active in this area at least 18,000 years ago. This report said that an archaeologist, Peter Brown from the University of New England in Australia, led this research. Upon compiling the findings, he was astonished. From scientific analysis, this human species had at least 7 to 8 thousand years of history. The report also mentioned that after this discovery, scientists planned to search the nearby areas to see if there were more remains of such a species and perform more investigations. Moreover, scientists are also thinking about the relationship between this species of human beings and a regular human being. According to the Scientific American magazine, this discovery is the "most spectacular paleo-anthropological find of the past century." On their websites, both Nature and Scientific American gave a detailed introduction of the findings claiming that not only did humans have large- and small-sized species, but archaeologists have also found small elephant bones, giant cows, etc. What is more astonishing is that this dwarf species also had small-sized tools. Another analysis published in the same issue of the Nature magazine reported that the small tools were so delicate that they were just like those of regular humans. In addition, these small tools were also found in the bones of the small elephant. This proved that the small humans used small sized tools to hunt the small elephants. Scientific American also introduced the concept that the time period when the dwarf humans appeared in this area was even longer ago than the appearance of regular human beings. Indonesia, the Southeast Asian country where the bones were found, consists of hundreds of islands. It stretches across the equator and is the fourth largest country in Asia by area. It has the title, "the nation of one thousand islands." In fact, a geological inspection indicated that it has 13,667 islands, and hence it may be suited for the name of "nation of ten thousand islands." In view of these new archaeological discoveries, the archaeologist Bert Roberts from Australian Wollongong University commented, "Perhaps these islands in Indonesia are the 'Noah's arks;' every kind of large- and small-sized animal can be found here." Nature magazine published an article on its website that suggested that with the discovery of the dwarf human species, we have no choice but to reconsider some questions. For example, in some Malay fables, there are stories about small humans. However, scientists have never regarded these fables seriously. Nevertheless, the BBC website, on September 8, 2004, reported that some hair and footprints were found in Indonesia that did not belong to any known living being. They were most probably the remains of this small human. In 1292, Marco Polo also wrote about the existence of some kind of small human beings. There are numerous records both in China and the other countries about the dwarf human species and giants. In China, Shanhai Sutra, Jing Hua Yuan (The Relation of a Mirror and a Flower ) and the books in other countries, such as Gulliver's Travels, all talk about countries of the small human species and those of giants. All these different stories have the same theme; however, many people often don't take them seriously. In fact, in the records of human history, there are also many records that talk about such kinds of human beings. For instance, Han History, The Historical Records of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Peaceful Broad Records, The Stories of the Dream Book and The Historical Records of Song Dynasty, etc. all described giants. The Records of Historians, Liezi and Taipingguang Records all have records of small human beings who were only a few inches tall. The Qing Dynasty's book, The Hand Written Notes of Yuewei Straw Room, also has two accounts of the small human species. Besides The Records of the Historians, modern archaeological discoveries have also found more and more evidence of the same. For instance, if you look at the ICA stone statues in South America, you will see that dinosaurs and giants pictured together. Moreover, the heights of giants and dinosaurs and their proportions were about the same in those depictions. In the valleys of Turkey, many gigantic bone fossils have been discovered. From these, we can conclude that up till now, the true history of civilized human beings is still a mystery in some respects. If the giant of the ancient Greek myth, Odyssey, really existed, what does it mean? In fact, although once considered the stuff of myth evidence indicates now that the city, Troy, from the ancient Greek myth, as well as Noah's Ark in the Holy Bible possibly existed at one point of time. These archaeological discoveries have already pushed secrets of human history to the forefront and the ancient prophecies like the Tang Dynasty's Pushback Pictures, the Northern Song Dynasty's "Plum Blossom's Poem", and the French Centuries by Nostradamus, may well be proven to be extremely accurate after over a thousand years. This is more than thought-provoking. To deny or avoid these mysterious historical civilizations is not the right thing to do. Because no matter whether we acknowledge them or not, history is always about facts. Moreover the facts also relate to our future.
