Chapter 1

The Bologo forest, was this beautiful and fascinating forest, located at the south east Nigeria, very little is know of this forest by the outside world. The natives of Bologo and neighboring communities staying close to this mystical forest, are very protective of the forest and discussed little about it, when they're asked, but will always tell visitors, a legendary story about the forest, as place that houses the spirit of their ancestral heroes and villains. the end the stories with dreadful ending telling tutorist that people who ventures into the forest sometimes doesn’t return, and those that return from it were lucky to meet the good spirits that leads them out from the forest. These fascinating stories from the villagers born a strong desire to venture into this beautiful place and unmask the myth behind the tales as I find it difficult to believe the superstitious theory given by the locals but because as a science student I believe that there is a scientific explanation to everything happening on earth and nothing should be marked supernatural or unexplainable without proper investigation and study. I happen to meet a local who’s ny name are called; Gomuki Lagokitusi. a very tall young hunter, very dark in complexion that if he walk in the dark naked, you will not see him and him too doesn’t buy the legendary stories told from one ancestors to other down to them. He told me that he had a couple of times venture to the forest to hunt and there is plenty of wild life and resources there and the place looks like it was once a home to their ancestors and was abandoned. But their history has nothing to tell about them; having once been a home to their forefathers and he will like to investigate the forest and find out more information and he said that he noticed a kind of variation on they animals found there and they grow much bigger and possesses some other unique features that he lacks words to describe, he continue by saying “I think the forest is sacred, he said " i need to respect my ancestral beliefs of my people but I still need to know the truth..! I need to find out what really happed.....!! he then turn to me and looked at me, smack a smile and continue is talk " The civilization i, found in the remains for the forest is something that can’t be seen in our community today, sir, if you can help me bring all these scientist that uses fossil to tell what happened and what didnt happened to come with their witches in boxes and metals to help me discover what really happened here from the ruined city, I will be grateful”
