Hey, what's happening, everybody? It's late night Vincent coming at you. This is part two of our episode on the

Abo Gogogo. It's actually not going to be the last episode. It's going to be a third one, too. But we're going to keep it a little shorter across the course of the week just to do a recap here. There's a lot of information in the first episode about what the

abogogo was, what Homo Floresiensis was, and all that stuff is critical. So if you haven't

heard that, just go back and listen to that. It's super important stuff. I want to say,

thank you for listening. These episodes are always a challenge to put together. I know they're not

everybody's jam, but the response has been pretty positive, and I am just over the moon about being able to share this story with you. So if you have time,

I would love it if you could give us a reading and a review, mention us on social media,

talk about us with your friends. If you've already done all those things, thank you. You guys are

an amazing audience, and it means the world to me that I get to share these stories with you.

It's late 2003, and a joint team of Australian and Indonesian archaeologists searching for evidence of human migration have come to Liangboa, a remote cave, which requires

climbing gear to reach after a long trek through dangerous jungles.

Once inside the cave, they uncover something wholly unexpected.

These are bones, not fossils.

Bones of a humanoid, a human relative, which would have stood under a meter and a half tall, in some cases as little as three

feet. dubbed Homo Florisiances, the discovery rocks the world of anthropology and human evolution

to its core. The researchers are fetid and gallons of ink are spilled over the so-called

Hobbit Man of Flores. the world is surprised by the discovery,

but not the people who live on Flores at the edges of the dense jungles.

They've known about the tiny ape-men since time, for them, began, and they call them

Ebu-Gogo.

According to these people, Ebu- Gogo may still be out there.
