The search for a Yeti goes way back to 326 BC

Tiffi tells Jenny that she found some history on the Yeti but when she went back to find those characters to prove them wrong, they were nowhere to be found. She shares the history that she found with Jenny and Yeti.

‘The search to find the Yeti can be traced back to the time of Alexander the Great, who in 326 BC set out to conquer the Indus Valley. Having heard stories of the Yeti he demanded to see one for himself, but local people told him they were unable to present one because the creatures could not survive at that low an altitude.

It is suggested that the Yeti myth originated in Tibet, and reached Nepal via the Sherpa, descendants of families who emigrated from the Khams region of Tibet across the Himalayan range in the middle of the sixteenth century.

The first scientist to investigate the Yeti was German Professor Ernst Schaefer. Allegedly, he was employed by the head of the SS Heinrich Himmler to search for the Yeti in 1938 in the hope that it would turn out to be the progenitor of the Aryan race. Schaefer reached the conclusion that the Yeti was in fact the Tibetan bear.

Sherpa tradition holds that the Yeti will only show itself to those who believe in it. Bigfoot sightings have been reported in every US state except Hawaii.’ (Info here)
