Episode #299: Tales of the Little People - Part 3
Manage episode 378601890 series 3310083
This week Drew takes us through the Arthur Conan Doyle saga with the fairies, and how he fell for hoaxed photographs....but we also read some of Doyle's writings on the subject of fae encounters, and they seem entirely rational. We then spend some time reading and discussing the topic of Homo Floresiensis, also known as the "hobbits" of the island of Flores. There are tales of encounters with "little people" that persist on this island to this day, despite the fact that the fossil evidence of these "hobbit" people is at least 12,000 years old, and perhaps as old as 50,000 years.
We then move on to tales from Japan, with very similar themes, trickster beings that can be beneficial as long as the humans interacting with them abide by their word.
We will be performing at Howl at the Holler for the annular Eclipse on October the 14th, see the link for details: https://howlattheholler.com/
The Lebanon extension for our upcoming Egypt trip in February has a pre-extension, see the link for details: https://unchartedx.com/site/2023/09/28/feb-24-lebanon-tour-baalbek-still-available-now-with-8-day-jordan-option/
