When the Giants Roamed the Americas
By G. Sterling
What if I told you that a tomb was recently opened that had skeletons of a man and woman eight feet tall. And what if I told you they had red and blond hair? And the artifacts found included inscribed metal plates in an unknown language? Would you think me mad?
Then mad I am, for this is exactly what is going on here in the Southwest. And to make this matter even more interesting, I can assure you that there are multiple sites where these extra large humans have been discovered. As I write this, teams are exploring the area around these sites for additional information, and attempts to collect DNA samples are being made. There is no formal historical recognition of these Giants, but they have left their mark in legends, lore, and even the Bible.
Of course we have all heard about David and Goliath, and probably just brushed aside the contradictions that biblical story actually creates. Was Goliath a "one of a kind" or was there a whole race from which he came? Where did he come from? How would a person grow to such proportions on the terrible nutritional diets of the time? Why had he chosen to alley himself with humans of normal stature? And what is to be made of the elusive term found in the bible "in that day there were giants on the land"? It is safe to conjecture the Bible is relating a matter of fact, not analogy in its' references to "Giants". So we have one accepted ancient source that refers to "Giants". Maybe Giants were a reality back then, but we need more confirmation. Let's look at just a few of the numerous other reports of "Giants" in the Americas:
On his historic round the world trip, Captain Magellan made an interesting reference in his ship's logbook. He mentioned a race of giants living on the Pacific coast of South America. But even a stranger event happened in this area. Captain Cooke wrote of actually capturing one of the giants and tying it to his ship's mast. This human was reported to be over nine feet tall. The giant freed himself from the ropes, and was last seen when he dived overboard.
In 1911, in a guano mine northeast of Reno, Nevada, several large mummified remains of red-haired humans approximately 8 feet tall were discovered. This site was known and the Lovelock Cave, and some of the artifacts can still be seen at the Humbolt County Museum.
A skeleton of of a large human was dug out of a mound in Ashland County, Ohio. The year was 1879, and the person who did the excavation was a medical doctor from Brewersville. He determined that the skeleton was of an individual that was 9 feet, 8 inches tall.
Then there is the unusual report of a woman who worked for the New Mexico Parks Department. A flash flood exposed the skeletal remains of a number of "Giants". They were about 8' tall, and had six fingers and toes. They also had an unusual double row of teeth. The entire site was "cleaned" under the supervision of the Smithsonian and FBI, and nothing has been seen or heard about the discovery since.
And there are many, many other reports that are usually quietly placed in a forgotten corner of some institution's collections. Isn't it interesting that there is absolutely no one in "academia" that is willing or able to offer a theory or an explanation for the "giants of old". But they do exist. And the proof is absolute. And they are a part of our history that has been intentionally swept under the carpet by the supposed "learned men" of our institutions.
