UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF GUYANA 2009 EXPEDITION

Sponsors, donors and persons interested in joining this expedition planned to commence on August 1st and terminate on 21st August 2009 are now being invited to contact Damon Gerard Corrie by e-mail only at email. NO CORRESPONDENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED AFTER JULY 21 2009.

To physically join the expedition will cost the adventurous individual a US$2,000.00 participation fee - which covers your collection at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Guyana on August 1st 2009 & all domestic travel within Guyana - with Damon and the rest of the Expedition party members - until your escort back to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport on August 21st 2009. All meals during this 21 day period will be provided - but each expedition member is expected to bring his/her own back-pack, tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, flashlight, binoculars, personal medications & toiletries, appropriate tropical climate clothing, etc. You must be physically fit - I suggest you watch the documentary 'SAVAGE LAND' via the link posted here - to get an idea of the conditions you will face - BEFORE you make a decision to join this expedition.

Specifically this expedition will seek to document evidences (both photographic, on video and by physical samples (hair, artifacts etc) where possible, of a cryptozoological and anthropological nature which are well known to native tribes but as yet unknown to the scientific community. The areas of investigation will be the 240 sq. mile Pakuri Arawak Territory in the North, and the South Pakaraima Mountains and North Rupununi savannas of South-Central Guyana; South America.

The 7 official subject areas to be investigated and documented are:

  • 1. Water Tiger - unknown 3 meter long predatory mammal that is an aquatic hunter with the head reputed to be akin to that of a lioness.
  • 2. Giant Snakes - persistent rumors of large Boids - especially Anacondas (Eunectes murinus) in remote ponds on the Savannas and mountains reputed to meet or exceed 10 meters in length.
  • 3. The Dai-Dai - a large hair covered hominid that dwells in mountain caves, similar in description to that of the Big-foot of North America.
  • 4. Giant artifacts - large stone clubs and shields within a few miles of an Amerindian village that no modern man can even lift let alone utilize.
  • 5. Tribe of 1 meter tall hominids that inhabit remote areas of the mountains and are called 'Tamanas' by the Makushi tribesmen who offer them tobacco to pass through their areas un-harmed.
  • 6. Termite mound burials - a practice hitherto un-documented by any Anthropological researcher in South America.
  • 7. Uncontacted small tribal groups that may be remnant survivors of tribes documented to exist within Guyana in historic times but have subsequently been deemed to be extinct, OR perhaps family groups of tribes semi-westernized who have reverted to their ancestral traditional mode of living and shun contact with the outside world.

Again - for more information e-mail to email - BEFORE the July 20th 2009 deadline.

Centre for Fortean Zoology

The Centre for Fortean Zoology expedition has turned up some amazing information and strange creatures never before heard of in the west. The team interviewed witnesses to a strange race of undiscovered mountain dwelling pygmies, These tiny red faced men appear to inhabit caves and have been seen in both north and south Guyana. At 3.5 feet tall the pygmies may be related to Homo floresensis discovered a couple of years ago in Indonesia.
 
They also heard tell of the Di-Di (pronounced 'Die-Die') a yeti like hairy giant 8-10 feet tall. As recently as two years ago one of these beast was supposed to have abducted a native girl who was never seen again.
 
Stranger still is the water tiger. A pack hunting, semi-aquatic flesh eating mammal. The expedition spoke to witnesses and concluded that the creature is unknown to science and may be a new kind of felid or mustelid.
 
We also heard tales of what must be a new species of tiny red Caiman that emits a loud bellowing totally at odds with it's diminutive size. We were also the first human beings outside of the Makushi tribe to see an ancient cave burial site discovered by a local hunter in 2005 and seen by only a handful of tribesmen from one village. The group intends to return in 2008 to seek out a monster anaconda said to lurk in the remote Corona Falls.
 
The expedition was guided by Damon Corrie, a descendant heir of the now ceremonial hereditary Chieftaincy of the Eagle Clan of the Arawak tribe. Damon (who literally chased down a Giant Anteater for us so we could get close-up footage) runs the excellent 'Guided Cultural Tours'. This company allows explorers to see the real Guyana and meet the true people of the country, the Amerindians. If you want a taste of the real Guyana, off the beaten track and away from tourist traps then 'Guided Cultural Tours' is the way to do it.
 
Guyana is a true lost world and Damon Corrie a real life Professor Challenger."
