On April 29th a repilca of what is considered a yeti’s hand will be brought to the Pangboche monestary.
In the 1950s, the leader of an expedition to find the yeti, Peter Byrne, took part of the orignal hand bones and brought it to his friend and Hollywood actor, James Stuart. This bone was later tested at Oxford University, where they said that they could not be absolutly sure what type of bone it was.
Following the airing of a tv special in the 1990s, the orignal skullcap and hand were stolen from the monestary.
With the help from the Weta Workshop, the special effects team for Lord of the Rings, Mike Allsop will be bringing a replica skullcap and hand bone to help promote tourism to the region.
