UM-Bot Posted July 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The discovery in Iran of a tiny mummified body back in 2005 prompted rumors of an ancient city of dwarfs. The mummy, which was found in the ancient Persian village of Makhunik ( modern day Iran ), caused quite a stir when it was first revealed almost 10 years ago.

shrooma Posted July 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2014 QUOTE- Upon further investigation no evidence of the abnormally small buildings could be found and the mummy, far from being an adult, turned out to be little more than a baby. Anthropological studies also dated the mummy to just 400 years ago, putting to rest the concept of a 5,000-year-old dwarven city. In the end the incident turned out to be little more than a prime example of media sensationalism based on false information, rumor and misrepresentation . somehow, i'm failing to see the story here, or am i missing something...? .

PersonFromPorlock Posted July 7, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) In defense of the OP, I'm sure he posted it as an example of media sensationalism. Edited July 7, 2014 by PersonFromPorlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac E Posted July 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Sure the article has it's short-comings and the media sensationalism dimishes the actual facts, but it's a bit dwarfing to think that a civilization of small people existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter B Posted July 8, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Once again, a proof, how wrong scientists can get and their fancy carbon dating methods. What do you mean? Which scientists got what age wrong? Have a look at this article: http://www.cais-soas.com/News/2005/October2005/20-10-25.htm It dates from October 2005 and already contains skeptical comments. The only two people named in the article are archaeologists and both doubt the dwarf claims. Yes, it mentions the idea the dwarf must be 16-17 years old, but the assertion has no name attached to it.
