‘The Tomb of the Mili Mongga lives up to its magnificent billing’ DAILY TELEGRAPH. A journey of discovery that combines science with legend, as a paleontologist's mission to locate fossils in Indonesia evolves into an exciting quest for a mythical beast.
This book narrates the adventures of Samuel Turvey on the island of Sumba, where he discovers a recently extinct fauna from the island's fossils. The story highlights the importance of islands in maintaining biodiversity and the threats facing many of these unique endemic species.
At the same time, locals speak of the mysterious forest man called 'mili mongga', a giant creature similar to the Yeti. What is the connection between this mythical creature and the fossils Samuel seeks? What did he discover when he found the tomb of the mili mongga?
Combining evolution, anthropology, and cryptozoology, this book explores the relationship between biodiversity and culture, as well as how myth, fossils, and conservation can be connected in unexpected ways.
