in July 1990 four Czech guys decided to go on an adventure to find the Mongolian deathworm the creature that might have inspired the monster you've seen in the movie Doom they say it lives somewhere deep in the GOI desert so they flew to Mongolia hopped into an ATV and hired some local guides to help them all that to meet a creature that is up to 6 ft long can spit acid that could melt anything and is capable of shooting electricity at those it doesn't like Legend says that these friendly guys spend most of their days
hiding underneath the Sandy Dunes but they like to come out during the wetter months of June and July so the timing for a spotting was simply perfect but the crew needed to figure out how to lure the creature sadly for them no one knew what the giant worm liked to eat so they built a thumper which is a machine that made rhythmic pounding noises they were hoping it would call the worm out of the ground for two mon they searched the vast desert Crossing dunes and Rocky Plains looking for any sign of the creature but
alas it didn't really work out Ivan McCurley who was the leader of the 1990 Expedition came back to GOI desert again he once tried to attract the mega worm with blasts and the second time he used a small airplane to scout the Dooms over the years groups from America Britain and New Zealand organized big expeditions to the GOI desert to try and find the the creature many others came from all around the world on their own and found nothing the people in the west first found out about the mega worm of the GOI desert thanks
to an American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews this Brave man was probably the inspiration for Indiana Jones in 1926 he wrote about the creature in his book at a meeting with Mongolian leaders Andrews heard detailed descriptions of the creature even though none of them had ever seen it themselves one of them described it as looking like a sausage about 2 ft long with no head or legs according to him the worm was so venomous that just touching it could instantly take your life and it lived in the loneliest parts of the GOI desert Andrews didn't think
the creature was real but he shared these stories again in another book in May 2005 four friends from Great Britain who searched for Monsters professionally decided to tried their luck they made drawings of the worm and hired local people to hand out flyers all over the GOI desert these flyers offered a reward to anyone who could give information about the worm or even bring them a specimen they thought loud sounds that other explorers tried would scare the Beast away some told them it likes damp conditions so they came up with a plan to block streams
of water to create wet areas that would lure the worm out their plan didn't work because because it was too hard to build dams in the desert they ended up using small traps but didn't find any actual proof that the worm existed but they did meet locals who shared interesting stories about strange creatures they had seen over 70 years over the years stories of the monster spread around the world in some of them it's only 1 foot long in others it's as large as a human it's white gray or scaly and brown or maybe fleshy
and bright red someone said it resembled a snake or maybe a caterpillar or maybe it has wings and can fly and some believe it could be a supernatural evil being without a body maybe the stories are so different and the search operations are so fruitless because the creature doesn't even exist or it could be one of many Cryptids those creatures like Bigfoot Yeti the loch nest monster their existence has yet to be proven in 198 three one scientist who was visiting the region heard that an old man had managed to catch the mysterious worm he
also learned there was a nest nearby the scientist bravely approached the hole in the sand and put his hand inside a giant creature dragged him in and he was never seen again and just kidding he actually found a tartar sand booa inside it's a chunky burrowing nonvenomous snake that has small eyes and gray brown scales he showed it to the locals to verify if it was the monster and supposedly all of them said yes most Mongolians who know about the worm still believe it's real now even though people call our supposed monster a worm it's
just what it sounds like in the English translation many Mongol cultures have used this word for centuries to refer to any animals they thought to be really dangerous especially snakes even nonvenomous ones so it doesn't have to be a literal worm after all worms are soft and Squishy but a creature living in the harsh goby desert would need to be tougher more like a snake or a type of lizard without legs neither of these creatures can shoot electricity or spit acid like they say the deathworm does but some snakes like cobras can spit venom that's
dangerous for people if it were real the creature would have a backbone and explore a searching for it would likely find some bones or evidence left behind and there are actually fossil remains all over the GOI desert scientists found representatives of over 80 Dino groups here over the last almost 100 years it all started with the world's first dinosaur egg nests this discovery changed all the scientists knew about dinos it was the first proof they laid eggs in the following two years the same Expedition team Unearthed over 100 dinosaurs and took them to the American
Museum of Natural History where you can still see them today some of of them were swimming around in the Cretaceous sea that used to be here about 71 million years ago they resembled modern Birds The Mystery of the mega worm is still unsolved but there used to be another mystery scientists finally managed to explain back in the 13th century a famous traveler Marco Polo not the guy from the swimming pool game crossed the GOI desert he thought he could hear mysterious noises like the sounds of musical instruments such as drums he wrote WR about it
in his book and believed he might be hearing the voices of restless Spirits scientists call these noises singing Sands or booming Sands unlike the squeaky sound you might hear when walking on a Sandy Beach these desert sounds are much louder like a musical instrument playing deep haunting notes over the years people came up with all kinds of ideas about what caused the sounds like underground water or winds making the sand vibrate not all Dunes can do this and scientists wanted to figure out why sometimes the winds might cause a small avalanche on the side of
a dune and then you can hear the magical sound start but this is rare So to study it scientists had to help the Dune sing they climbed to the top of a dune and slid down on their backs using their hands and feet to push sand down as the sand tumbled the sound started softly and got louder they could even feel the vibrations with their hands so they found out that that for a dune to sing a few special things need to happen the grains of sand must be the right shape the Dune has to
be big and the sand must be very dry so no singing after it rains inside the Dune there's a hard layer of packed sand that acts like a giant speaker this layer bounces the sound waves back and forth makes the noise louder and louder and creates a haunting Melody that can fill the Desert Air in other words the dunes can play Tunes yeah sorry I couldn't help myself with that one that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends or if you
