Yeti Massacre

If I ever needed another excuse to avoid the Urals this 2 hour special gives it to me. I had no idea about the Nazi connection or belief in a Yeti super-highway and it is crazy to think about what actually happened out there to this group. And the recreations were PHENOMENAL and transported you in to the dark scary experience in a way I haven't often seen. Clearly incredibly well researched and brought an old story to life in a new way. We may never know what really happened but this definitely sheds new light on the mystery. Worth checking it out if you believe or even if you don't. Must watch.

This was a top-notch documentary. The R\recreations were very well done. I never knew about the KGB spy among the group. I never knew there was a second group more recently who suffered the same fate as the Dylatov party. It was very insightful and very compelling, and they presented different possibilities of what might have happened to them; at no point was there any pretension that they were solving the mystery but I really like that they showed a photo of the potential Yeti Now, that was amazing!

I don't know what the lowest scoring reviewers were smoking but they need to sit on their hands instead of posting smack online! If you don't like what you're watching then don't watch it and change the channel!! This is the problem with the Travel Channel: they come here and read the negative reviews, and I guess they feel shame and decide to cancel perfectly watchable and very good shows simply because they listen to uneducated and brain-impaired dummies, just because nobody bothered themselves to come here and post the high rated reviews that this show deserves. This series is so original creative and unique only to be discontinued in favor of garbage like a dead files and Ghost Adventures because of the fools that are allowed to come here and wreak havoc; enough of that, already you fools!

Besides being farfetched in the speculative areas of the presentation, the german they refer to, Ernst Schafer, was a zoologist, and a member of the SS and the Ahnenerbe, and went to Tibet at the behest of Heinrich Himmler, but his research and specimen gathering was entirely focused on insects, birds, different varieties of wheat, barley, and oats. The agricultural aspects of this expedition were designed to be used in the captured areas of the Ukraine and Crimea to increase production of food sources in the lebensraum regions. Relocated germans of Aryan descent were to populate these areas and be the bread baskets for German won territories.

Nothing in my sources indicate he had anything to do with human, yeti or crossbreeding genetic research.

This show provides some interesting factual background information about the Dyatlov Pass incident, which remains an enduring unsolved mystery. Many plausible explanations have been offered but none is entirely satisfactory. They include an avalanche, weapons testing and infasound. This show grafts background facts and reasonable but unconfirmed explanations onto the goofy presupposition that a killer yeti was involved: "avalanche caused by the KGB to cover up a yeti attack;" "infrasound made by screaming yetis;" "weapons testing to rile mutant supersoldier yetis into a murder frenzy!" It's all so earnest and eye-rollingly ludicrous that it ends up being entertaining even while insulting the intelligence of anyone with basic critical thinking skills.

I don't know how to feel about this. It's total manufactured B. S. There was an actual event, but this take on it is up there with something like "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" (and yes, that's the correct one - the Asylum mockbuster). But at the same time, I can't deny that I was entertained, laughing uproariously multiple times. That deserve some measure of recognition. These modern day mysterious mysteries-type shows are reaching a level of artistry on par with professional wrestling for the mix of fiction and glorious presentation. If you know and understand what this is, then please enjoy. It is very entertaining on that level. If you approach this any other way, please do your fact-checking.
