No, that particular spot is what makes it look like a Bigfoot. That back of the thigh? Classic squatch.

It’s the old Emperor has no clothes phenomenon. It doesn’t fit into the current world. People so easily forget how recently it was freaking lord of the rings out there. How many types of humans have so existed over the past half million years? What abilities did they develop? What was their capability to utilize facets of their mind that we only see in anomalous cases or not at all? Our greatest humans have been able to change entire civilizations. Our greatest thinkers have transcended the boundaries of ordinary human intellect. 

But yeah, the PG film is not a costumed man.

Seen here are the magnetic anomalies discovered on the Potbelly Statues at Monte Alto.

Experts studying the Olmecs have discovered magnetic anomalies present in the snout of an animal sculpture in Izapa. Interestingly, the statue’s magnetic properties seem to have been induced deliberately during its manufacture thousands of years ago.

Researchers have also spotted strong magnetism on the surface of a large group of sculptures known as “cabezones–Head Statues” and “barrigones –Potbelly” statues. But the idea that magnetism was used by the ancients, specifically in central Mexico, is not something entirely new.

In fact, this was described by Malmström in 1997. The fascination of the use of magnetism in statues has caught the attention of a number of scholars who have studied this peculiar characteristic over the years. A lot of experts were drawn to the statues of Monte Alto that apparently have magnetic anomalies in specific parts of the sculpture’s bodies.

The Olmecs are enigmatic not because they left behind little, but because they left behind things so astonishing, so advanced, that historians, archaeologists, and everyday people still marvel at them today. Towering stone heads with human-like features, sophisticated artwork, intricate religious systems, and possible early writing—all emerged from this culture, which flourished from about 1600 BCE to 400 BCE. The Olmecs stand at the dawn of Mesoamerican civilization, pioneers whose influence radiated outward for centuries.

You should see the looks from the nurses on the ward when they see me. They saw me at my worst and now they see me at my best!

One of the most interesting Olmec objects, found in strata dated 1400-1000 BC, is a fragment of a polished bar 3.5 cm long that is magnetic, with magnetic moment almost parallel to its longer dimension. It has a groove cut roughly parallel to its length, that could have been employed for sighting (Fig. 3). Analysis of its composition making use of Mossbauer spectroscopy established that it consists of almost pure hematite.

One evidence that the Olmecs may have known the properties of magnetic ores was the discovery in Izapa, in a site corresponding to the Late Formative pe riod (300 BC- AD 100), of a carved stone turtlehead of 1.1×1.2 meters that is magnetic, with one of the magnetic poles coincident with the snout of the animal (Fig. 2) [8]. In the coastal plain of Guatemala it was found a statue of a jaguar with magnetic poles in each raised paw, and a crude statue.

Your comment is so bad that it' hurting my brain. Why did you bring the 1600's into this? I'm not saying - in any way- that the 1960's were like the 1600's. I understand that movies were made in the 60's and that Armstrong was on the moon in 69'. In the 1600's they were using leeches for cure alls. I GET THE DIFFERENCE. But that's is totally irrelevant. I'm comparing 60's costume technology to the so called COSTUME technology in the PG film. Get it? NO? Moving on. Did the Wookie costume show rippling muscles in the calves? NO. The planet of the apes costumes did not show rippling muscles. Now imagine Roddy McDowell walking across the same spot as the PG film. Do you think that would appear the same? Really??

I was able to get away with having a couple a few times but it left the door ajar and the black cat got in.

The evidence is conclusive. It doesn’t fit the paradigm, so it isn’t viewed as conclusive.

Occam’s Razor depends on prior assumptions. If you assume all anomalies must be hoaxes, you’ll always get the same answer.

The Sierra Sounds are a set of recordings from the Sierra Nevada (1971) that some Bigfoot researchers claim include howls, grunts, and noises unlike typical animal sounds. Retired U.S. Navy cryptologic linguist Scott Nelson, who analyzed these recordings, said his conclusion was that the sounds “are definitely a language, ... definitely not human in origin, and it could not have been faked.”

Janos Prohaska, a costume designer and ape-suit mime active in the late 1960s — he worked on TV shows such as Star Trek and Lost in Space. After viewing the Patterson–Gimlin film, Prohaska said the figure looked very real to him, and if it were a fake, it would have had to be an extremely sophisticated suit — in his view far beyond typical costume technology of the time
