This video is about a Swiss geologist who claimed to have encountered a never before seen specie of monkeys but it was eventually discovered that there were some suspicious elements in the story which made the whole encounter greatly doubted. In fact, in 1999, the July-August edition of the Venezuelan scientific magazine Interciencia published a letter sent in 1962 from Doctor Enrique Tejera to the editor Guillermo José Schael of the magazine Diario El Universal:
THE LETTER READS; This monkey is a myth. I will tell you his story. […]
Mister Montandon said that the monkey had no tail. That is for sure, but he forgot to mention something, it has no tail because it was cut off. I can assure you this, gentlemen, because I saw the amputation…[].
Who is speaking here in 1917 was working in a camp for oil exploration in the region of Perijá. The geologist was François de Loys, the engineer Dr. Martín Tovar Lange. De Loys was a prankster and often we laughed at his jokes. One day they gave him a monkey with an ill tail, so it was amputated. Since then de Loys called him “el hombre mono” (the monkey man). Some time later I and de Loys went in another region of Venezuela: in an area called Mene Grande. He always walked along the side of his monkey, who died some time later. De Loys decided to take a photo and I believe that Mr. Montandon will not deny it is the same photograph that he presented today. [in 1929 Montandon presented the Ameranthropoides in a public lecture].
More recently during a visit to Paris my astonishment was great visiting the Museum of Man. On top of a monumental scale, filling the back wall, there was a huge photo with the caption: “The first anthropoid ape discovered in America.”
It was the photograph of de Loys, beautifully modified. The plants were no longer visible in the background, and it was not possible to understand on which kind of box the monkey was sitting. The trick is done so well that within a few years the monkey will be over two meters high […].
Finally, I must warn you: Montandon was not a good person. After the war he was executed because he betrayed France, his homeland.
Sincerely, Your friend Enrique Tejera.
