    Giantsby Glenn Kimball

    Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Perhaps that is why so many of the things that aredisguised as reality in our eyes, are really fiction; and so much of what we deny, is infact true. If we only knew all the facts of the world in which we live, we would all beamazed. There is a intense compulsion in the mind to make life simple and keep it thatway, even it that means that we dont deal with issues like life after death, which is theonly thing that gives us real hope in the long run. If there isn t anything more than ourlives, what difference will anything make in the not so distant future? Solving thequestion of where we come from, why we are hear and where we are going after deathshould be our primary questions and not something we run from. However, becausethese issues are so often open ended questions, it is easier to dismiss them entirelyfrom consideration. We even attack those who have found direction in their livesbecause the brain can not tolerate the possibility that it hasnt considered everything.

    We often have a hard enough time making sense of the here and now.

    Our brains are constantly simplifying what we hear and see, like we are constantlyaveraging all equations and blending our experiences into something that happenedbefore. For example, we never read every word in a book. That would be too time-consuming. We tend to pass our eyes over it and assume a goodly portion of the text.We really remember less than five percent of what we read and see because it gets lostin the general file system of the brain. We truly are assumptive creatures who habituateour way through life as if everything that happens should fall neatly into the parametersof what we already know. We assume facts before we let the scenario play out, likepeople who left the stadium at the two minute warning. These people always miss

    exciting conclusions. Our minds are constantly being reserved for the new sensationsand thoughts, which are quickly classified and filed into the depths of the mind. This isthe minds way of preserving the energy and managing the space within ourconsciousness.

    Occasionally in life we hear or see something so extraordinary that we have a difficulttime simplifying it and assimilating. These are the things we normally remember in theend because it takes conscious energy to digest them. These are the problems we pickapart piece by piece ad nauseam until we feel better and the stage of the conscious iscleared. The death of a loved one, divorce, business failures and humiliation often fallinto that category. These things often burden the mind until we talk it out and

    contextualize it into something comfortable, even if comfort means that we dismiss itentirely by labeling it a myth or flush it out through the process of intentionally forgetting.When there are issues that simply can not be filed away, they have the power to destroyour ability to function as normal human beings, because the conscious mind needs todigest what is occupying conscious space before we get back to normal functions.Surely forms of madness come from chemical deficiencies and brain trauma, but muchof what we call madness is the brains way of exiting from a reality that requires moreattention than we have space. All of us are a little mad, especially those who display

    anger in what they know.

    History is filled with strange things. Most rational scholarship is as compelled, asanyone else, to ignore the weird and strange, though truth is often stranger than whatwe believe. However, once in a while there is something that has happened to so many

    different people from so many different places that it just wont go away. Such is thecase with the written history of the Giants.

    The factual existence of Giants is just now becoming a water cooler topic ofconversation. Once you stop trying to isolate and ignore all the individual pieces ofevidence, it is apparent that there is a great deal of evidence that the giants onceexisted. There were too many credible people who wrote about the Giants to beignored. In addition for the first time the huge bones of the giants havent all beenhidden like a secret that should not be told.

    GLENNS EXPERIENCE WITH THE GIANTS

    Glenn photographed the mummies of two of these giant men in Lima Peru in 1969.These giants are still in the gold museum in Lima Peru today and can be seen byanyone who visits. They were mummified because their golden robes are prominentlyon display. Their crowns could fit around Glenns waist. Their golden gloves havefingers ten inches long. Their mummies can be measured with a tape and they wereboth around nine and a half feet tall. There were other personal items fit for a giant king,that wouldnt have been useful to a man of normal size. The actual bodies are thereincased in glass for all to see. The news media has never photographed anyone nineand a half feet tall.

    These were not mutations. A mutation is something that happens once in a bluemoon. There were two giants in Peru side by side from successive generations. Whatmakes the story even stranger is that the average height of the Peruvians, both nowand historically, is well under six feet high.

    This isnt the only time Giants were mentioned by prominent people who visited SouthAmerica. Don Cieza de Leon and Agustin de Zarate published texts on South AmericanGiants in 1553 AD and 1555 respectively. These books came just after the arrival of theconquistadores and were published within twenty years of Pizarro. They said that thenative traditions told the incoming Spanish that the giants came to the Americas on raft-like boats. Some of these men were so tall that from the knee down they were as big asa man. Their eyes were the size of plates. Some were clad in skins and others weremostly naked. They said that there were no women on these boats, which was strangeindeed. These giants dug deep wells for water that still exist today through solid rock.Cieza de Leon said that when Don Antonio de Mendoza went to Cuzco Peru in 1560that he found tombs with extremely large bones, similar to the ones that were alreadyfound in Mexico City at the time of Montezuma. Padre Acosta found similar large bones

    in 1560 in Manta Peru where they later found similar bones in 1928 when constructingthe railroad to Ecuador. They were hidden behind stalagmites in caves.

    When Diego de Ordaz climbed to the high volcano of Popocatepetl, near Mexico City,according to Las Casas, he found a giant thigh bone that he sent to the Vatican. When

    Cortez invaded Mexico his men found living giants in this region and reported them. Intheir written testimonies they tore a few ribs from the dead bodies of these giants andbrought them back to Spain with them.

    In the summer of 1931 Monsignor F. Lunadi organized an expedition into the jungles ofSan Agustin. He found traces of a very ancient South American empire known to the oldBritish buccaneers of the seventeenth century. These men were giants who hadknowledge of electricity which they used in various forms.

    This race of ancient white giant men with beards was called the Viracochas. PedroCieza de Leon said that they came long before the Incas began to reign. The Indians

    also called these white men Titicaca, like Lake Titicaca today located high in themountains between Bolivia and Peru. Glenn Lived in Juliaca Peru on the sores of LakeTiticaca, very close to the ancient city of Tiauanacu where there are huge statues to thegiants with six fingers and toes to this day. On the door to the sun, the main entrance totheir temple, is carved the image of Viracoca, the creator of not only their civilization, butthe white bearded God who created the whole world. This temple has many similaritiesto the Masonic temples of our day.

    At the ruins of Pachacamac where US and British archeologists and the CarnegieInstitution are working today, the giants are mentioned. It is said that they built largebeautiful temples with iron tools around 500 BC. The tradition has it that these giantmen had no women in their group and were later consumed in fire from heaven. It isinteresting that the stories of these giants quasi-parallels the story of the Watchersmarried the Daughters of Eve. The daughters of Eve bore the watchers giant children,but nothing is mentioned that these giants themselves had children. The stories of theGiants often ends in a single generation, though the Giants lived a very long time.

    These giants were granted a state of quasi-unprotected immortality by deity. They couldbe killed, but did live long periods of time if they werent deliberately killed and for themost part couldnt bare children. According to Hesiod these Watchers, one of theparents of the giants, were men from the four former epochs of human existence prior tothe coming of Adam and Eve. Adam wasnt the first man on the earth. He was thepatriarch of the final epoch of time. How else could their have already been men of oldand men of renown when Adam and Eve had their first children? That is exactly what itsays in Genesis chapter six. The four previous epochs of time rose in culture andscience, but were exterminated because they violated the laws of the earth and deity.We are headed for a similar cataclysm in our day because of our rejection of deity. Ahuman remnant of the four epochs survived because of their valiant nature and thosepeople, numbering in the thousands, were called the Watchers. Hesiod suggests thatthis remnant numbered in the thousands.

    These immortals who survived the cataclysms of the four previous epochs of time werealso called angels because they were allowed to pass from the realm of Deity tomortality seamlessly. They were allowed to pass between the heavens and the earthbecause they were given the assignment by deity to watch over mortals. This is another

    reason they lived so long and paradoxically the reason they were commanded not tohave children. Their job wasnt to interfere with men unless directly commanded. TheseWatchers werent classic disembodied spirits, as is the case with classic angels. Most ofthe evidence and history of the Watchers is included in the audio class Daniel and theWatchers. In essence the Watchers were noble-immortal men who have yet to die; astatus granted them by deity because of their righteousness.

    Two hundred some odd of these watchers, because they were still in the flesh, foundthe daughters of Eve attractive and violated their agreements with deity not to intervenein the lives of men. That is why they are often called Fallen Angels. They bore childrento mortal women which was against their agreement with God. They were angels

    because of the status deity gave them and fallen because they violated the agreement.However, not all the watchers violated the agreement with deity and remain men of oldand men of renown who come and go at the behest of deity. These are the ones whostill appear today during a moment in crisis, effect rescues and give importantmessages and then are gone. Most of us have either had a first hand encounter withone of them at a moment in crisis, or have heard of the stories from our friends.

    Daniel met some of them. Moses is said to have translated the book of Jubilees asdictated by one of them. Even Mohammed is said to have been dictated the Quran byone of them. Millions of people have reported a stranger appearing at the moment ofcrisis and then vanishing without a trace. Others have reported these Watchers comingto them during moments of crisis and giving them critical pieces of advice aboutsubjects they could not have otherwise known. After they left their message they werenowhere to be found. Truly these beings watch over the affairs of men and performrescues of many kinds, as if they were sent from deity.

    The important thing about the giants is that they are children of a small segment of theWatchers and the daughters of Eve. Since one of the parents of the Giants wasimmortal, these giants often lived a very long time.

    The North American Indians believed that the first race of human beings were giants. Inthe autobiography of William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Cody writes that while camping on theSouth Platte, a Pawnee Indian came into the camp with what the army surgeonpronounced to be a giant thigh bone of a human being. When Cody asked about wheresuch a bone might have come from, the Indian replied that long ago a race of giants hadlived in the area. This race of men had been three times larger than normal men andable to out-run a buffalo and even carry it in one hand. Cody wrote:

    These giants denied the existence of a Great Spirit, so he caused a great rain storm tocome, and the water kept rising higher and higher so that it drove these proud, and

  • 8/3/2019 Giants by Glenn Kimball

    5/20

    conceited giants from the low ground to the hills, and thence to the mountains, but atlast even the mountain tops were submerged and then those mammoth men were alldrowned. After the flood had subsided, the Great Spirit came to the conclusion that hehad made man too large and powerful, and that he would therefore, correct the mistakeby creating a race of men of smaller size and less strength. This is the reason, say the

    Indians, that modern men are small and not like the giants of old, and they claim thatthis story is a matter of Indian history, which has been handed down among them fromtime immemorial.

    The bones that were in the possession of Buffalo Bill were given to the museum, thatpromptly hid them. They continue to be lost to us today, though many saw them at thetime.

    Brazilian Giants

    William Turner, the naturalist and dean of Wells (d. 1568), mentions that on the coast of

    Brazil, near the river Polata, he saw a tribe of very gigantic naked savages, one ofwhom he estimated to be twelve feet tall.

    While in Brazil, Knyvet several times saw an Indian who, though still a youth, towered toa height of thirteen spans. Since thirteen spans equals nine feet, nine inches, this wouldhave made the giant about the same size as Goliath.

    Chile's Giants

    Reaveneau de Lussan reported contact with natives of Chile that were of enormousbulk and stature. Frezier also relates that natives of the coast of Chile told him thatsome of the Indians living inland stood nine feet high.

    Captain George Shelvock, on his voyage in 1719 to the Island of Chiloe off the coast ofChile, saw Indians which stood nine to ten feet high.

    Cocopa Giants

    Soon after Maldonado discovered the Seri giants, Captain Melchior Diaz came acrossanother tribe of huge Indians while searching farther up the coast for the ships carryingsupplies for Coronado's 1540 expedition. Pedro de Castaneda reported that, Aftergoing about 150 leagues, they came to a province of exceedingly tall and strong men-like giants. Evidently, these were the Cocopa, a Yuman tribe who also inhabited thelower Rio Colorado, which the Indians called Rio del Tison.

    MAGELLAN

    Antonio Francesco Pigafetta, chronicler of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world:We had been two whole months in this harbor without sighting anyone when one day(quite without warning) we saw on the shore a huge giant, who was naked, and who

  • 8/3/2019 Giants by Glenn Kimball

    6/20

    danced, leaped and sang, all the while throwing sand and dust on his head. OurCaptain ordered one of the crew to walk towards him, telling this man also to dance,leap and sing as a sign of friendship. This he did, and led the giant to a place by theshore where the Captain was waiting. And when the giant saw us, he marveled and wasafraid, and pointed to the sky, believing we came from heaven. He was so tall that even

    the largest of us came only to midway between his waist and his shoulder; 621 yet withall he was well proportioned. He had a large face, painted round with red; his eyes wereringed with yellow and in the middle of his cheeks were painted two hearts. He hadhardly any hair on his head, what little he had being painted white....

    Rupert Gould said in his book Enigmasin 1945, included another quote aboutMagellans voyage and added, This man was so tall that our heads scarcely came up tohis waist, and his voice was like that of a bull.

    Many of the other natives in this region were also very tall; this would lead to the namingof those in the region the "Patagonian Giants", Patagonian meaning "people of the long

    feet."

    P. Joseph Tarrubia wrote in his Gianthologia, published in Madrid in 1761, that someutensils found in South America were of such enormous size that they could only havebeen used by giants. He also noted that several Spanish settlers told of having seenmonstrous men, ranging from nine to ten feet in height, when they sometimes strayedfrom their wild retreats verging toward the Straits of Magellan. Tarrubia further relatedthat: the South Americans had a body of soldiers, consisting of about four hundredmen, the shortest of whom was not shorter than nine feet and the tallest about elevenfeet.

    Twenty years before Magellan came, Amerigo Vespucci and some fellow sailors sightedseveral giants off the coast of Venezuela. Amerigo, for whom approximately one-third ofthe world was later named, recounted this experience: Thus sailing along, we cameupon an island [Curasao] which was situated fifteen leagues from the mainland. At ourarrival, since we saw no people and the island looked favorable to us, we decided toexplore it, and eleven of us landed. We discovered a trail and set ourselves to walk on ittwo leagues and a half inland; we met with a village of twelve houses in which we didnot find anyone except seven women. They were of such great stature that there wasnot one of them who was not taller than every one of us by a span and a half [about 19inches]. When they saw us they were very much afraid of us. The chief one of them,who was certainly a discreet woman, by signs hauled us up to a house and made themgive us refreshments. When we saw such noble women, we determined to carry off twoof them, who were young women fifteen years of age, and make a present of them tothe king. They were creatures whose stature was certainly above that of average men.While we were thus plotting, thirty-six men arrived, who entered the house where wewere drinking, and they were of such lofty stature that each of them was taller whenupon his knees than I was when standing erect. They were of the stature of giants intheir great size and in the proportion of their bodies, which corresponded with theirheight.

    When the men entered, some of our fellows were so frightened that at the moment theythought they were done for. The warriors had bows and arrows and tremendous oarblades, finished off like swords. When they saw our small stature, they began toconverse with us to learn who we were and whence we came. We gave them soft words

    for the sake of amity and replied to them in sign language that we were men of peaceand that we were out to see the world. In fact, we judged it wise to part from themwithout controversy, and so we went by the same trail by which we had come. Theystuck with us all the way to the sea and until we embarked.

    GIANTS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSE

    Critics have long suggested that the stories from South America are just too incredibleto be true. They have openly asked why there arent stories of giants in the NorthAmerica. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Again we are people who run fromsubjects that dont neatly conform to what we believe.

    The stories of the giants are located in every state in the union and are beyond thescope of a single class. However, to illustrate this point we choose Ohio.

    The History of Marion County, Ohio (1883)

    A picture of a skull from 1996, taken by J.C. Chatters of Kennewick Man, WashingtonState is that of a giant. Giants were also found when removing the gravel bluffs for theconstruction and repairs of roads.

    The History of Brown County, Ohio (1883)

    Mastodonic remains are occasionally unearthed and from time to time; discoveries ofthe remains of Indian settlements. Among the ruins are gigantic skeletons with highcheek bones, powerful jaws and massive frames peculiar to the Red man.

    Now and Long Ago: A History of the Marion County Ohio Area

    Satterfield, a justice of the peace, said that three giant skeletons were found at themouth of the Paw Paw Creek. Jim Dean and others found the bones while digging abridge foundation. She said it was Dr. Kidwell, of Fairmont, who examined them andsaid they were very old, perhaps thousands of years old. She said that when theskeletons were exposed to the weather for a few days, their bones turned black andbegan to crumble. All these skeletons, she said, were measured and found to be abouteight feet long.

    The Mound Builders occupied Lake County Illinois. These mounds were quitenumerous. Excavations have revealed the crumbling bones of a mighty race. SamuelMiller, who has resided in the county 1835, is authority for the statement that oneskeleton which he assisted in unearthing was a trifle more than eight feet in length, theskull being correspondingly large, while many other skeletons measured at least seven

    feet.

    Historical Collections of Ohio in Two Volumes

    Editor: Henry Howe, L.L.D. (1888)

    There were mounds situated in the eastern part of the village of Conneaut and anextensive burying-ground near the Presbyterian Church, which appear to have had noconnection with the burying places of the Indians. Among the human bones found in themounds were some belonging to men of gigantic structure. Some of the skulls were ofsufficient capacity to admit the head of an ordinary man, and jaw bones that might have

    been fitted on over the face with equal facility. The other bones were proportionatelylarge.

    The Firelands Pioneer (1858)

    In this connection I would say that Mr. Jonathan Brooks, now living in town, stated tome that his father, Benjamin Brooks, who lived with the Indians fourteen years, and waswell acquainted with their language and traditions, told him and others that it was atradition of the Indians that the first tribe occupying this whole country, was a black-bearded race, very large in size and subsequently a red-bearded race or tribe came andkilled or drove off all the black-beards.

    The Adair County (Kentucky) News: (January 5, 1897)

    An old Indian mound has been opened on the farm of Harrison Robinson, four mileseast of Jackson, Ohio. Two skeletons of extraordinary size and great quantities oftrinkets were removed.

    American Indian Myths and Mysteries

    Vincent H. Gaddis (1977)

    He further told me of the killing of a big Indian at Buckchitawa, about the time of thesettlement at Marietta. The Indians had a white prisoner whom they forced to decoyboats to the shore. A small boat was descending the river containing white people,when this prisoner was placed under the bank to tell those in the boat that he hadescaped captivity, and to come to the shore and take him in. The Indians wereconcealed, but the big Indian stuck his head out from behind a large tree, when it waspierced by a bullet from the gun of the steersman of the boat. The Indians cried outWetzel, Wetzel, and fled. This was the last ever seen of the prisoner. The Indians

    returned next day and buried the big Indian, who, he said, was twenty inches taller thanhe was, and he was a tall man.

    Hardesty's History of Monroe County, Ohio

    When Chester Bishop was digging a cellar for Asahel Booth, at Clarington, many yearsago, he came across a skeleton, the bones of which were removed carefully by Dr.Richard Kirkpatrick, and from his measurements the height of the man when livingwould have been 8 feet and 5 inches.

    Ironton Register, Proctorville, (May 5, 1892)

    Where Proctorville now stands was one day part of a well paved city, but I think thegreater part of it is now in the Ohio River. Only a few mounds, there; one of which wasnear the C. Wilgus mansion and contained a skeleton of a very large person, all doubleteeth, and sound, in a jaw bone that would go over the jaw with the flesh on, of a large

    man; the common burying ground was well filled with skeletons at a depth of about 6feet.

    Sketches and Stories of the Lake Erie Islands

    Theresa Thorndale, Sandusky, Ohio (1898)

    A large quantity of human bones was discovered in a fissure in the limestone near theUnited States Coast Guard lighthouse. A crude tomb of black stone slabs, of aformation not known on the island Eight skeletons were found, one measuring overseven feet in height.

    Historical Collections of Ohio in Two Volumes, p.p.350-351 Noble County, Ohio

    In Seneca township was opened, in 1872, one of the numerous Indian mounds thatabound in the neighborhood. This particular one was locally known as the "Bates"mound. Upon being dug into it was found to contain a few broken pieces ofearthenware, a lot of flint-heads and one or two stone implements and the remains ofthree skeletons, whose size would indicate they measured in life at least eight feet inheight. The remarkable feature of these remains was they had double teeth in front aswell as in back of the mouth and in both upper and lower jaws. Upon exposure to theatmosphere the skeletons crumbled back to Mother Earth.

    The Mound Builders: Robert Silverberg

    This band of people of great size forced its way into the Ohio Valley about 1000 B.C...Perhaps there was a small elite of round-headed giants dominating and ruling anexisting long-headed natives...

    A History of Ashtabula County, Ohio (1878)

  • 8/3/2019 Giants by Glenn Kimball

    10/20

    In cultivating the soil in the vicinity, implements have been found, and in excavating theground for graves it is said that bones have been exhumed which seemed to havebelonged to a race of giants. This land at one time belonged to a Mr. Pegleg Sweet,who was a man of large sizehe, in digging, came upon a skull and jaw which were of

    such size that the skull would cover his head and the jaw could be easily slipped overhis face...The graves were distinguished by slight depressions in the surface of theearth, disposed in straight rows, which, with intervening spaces or valleys, covered theentire area. The number of these graves has been estimated at being between two andthree thousand.

    Aaron Wright, Esq., in 1800, made a careful examination of these depressions, andfound them invariably to contain human bones blackened with time, which uponexposure to the air soon crumbled to dust. Some of these bones were of unusual size,and evidently belonged to a race allied to giants. Skulls were taken from these mounds,the cavities of which were of sufficient capacity to admit the head of an ordinary man,

    and jaw-bone that might be fitted over the face with equal facility. The bones of theupper and lower extremities were of corresponding size.

    History of Logan County, Illinois (1886)

    It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the places of sepulture raised by the MoundBuilders from the more modern graves of the Indians. The graves of the former were ingeneral larger than those of the latter, and were used as receptacles for greaternumbers of bodies, and contained relics of art, evincing a higher degree of civilizationthan that attained by the Indians. The ancient earthworks of the Mound Builders haveoccasionally been appropriated as burial places by the Indians, but the skeletons of thelatter may be distinguished from the osteological remains of the former by their greaterstature.

    Firelands Pioneer (1858)

    There are quite a number of mounds, in the township , where the bones, andsometimes the whole skeleton of the human race have been found. The bones andskeletons found are very large and some of the inhabitants think they must havebelonged to a race of beings much larger in size than the Indians found here by the firstsettlers.

    History of Morrow County and Ohio (1880)

    In 1829, When the hotel was built in Chesterville, a mound nearby was made to furnishthe material for the brick. In digging it away, a large human skeleton was found, but nomeasurements were made. It is related that the jaw-bone was found to fit easily overthat of a citizen of the village, who was remarkable for his large jaw. The localphysicians examined the cranium and found it proportionately large, with more teeththan the white race of today. The skeleton was taken to Mansfield, and has been lost.

    The History of Medina County, Ohio (1881)

    In digging the cellar of the house, nine human skeletons were found and like suchspecimens from other ancient mounds of the country, they showed that the Mound

    Builders were men of large stature When the skeletons were found, Mr. Harris wasabout twenty years of age, yet he states that he could put one of the skulls over hishead, and let it rest upon his shoulders, while wearing a cap at the same time. The largesize of all the bones was remarked and the teeth were described as double all the wayaround.

    OTHER PROMINENT TALES OF GIANTS

    For years the Smithsonian Institution has been accused of hiding in storage vaultsthings it doesn't like. In 1968 two Neanderthal-like skulls with low foreheads and largebrows were found in Minnesota. As for dating, University of Minnesota scientists said

    they were reluctant to destroy any of the material, although carbon-14 testing onlyrequires the burning of one gram of bone. They were sent to the Smithsonian. Later Dr.Lawrence Angel, curator of physical anthropology at the institution, said he had norecord of the skulls there, although he was sure they were not lost.

    History of Huron and Erie Counties, Ohio (1879)

    Excerpt recorded by W.W. Williams

    In the township of Milan there were three clearly-defined [sic] fortifications when thefirst settlers came into the country, and they are still not entirely leveled by theplowshare. All three were upon the high banks of the Huron ...

    F. W. Fowler, one of the pioneers of Milan, describes these earth-works [sic], as firstseen by him, to have been from two to four feet above the surface of the ground. Largetrees were growing upon some of these embankments. Near these forts were moundsor hillocks, which were found to contain human bones, promiscuously, thrown together,as if a large number of bodies had been buried at one time. The skull bones, whenfound entire, were shown by measurement to be larger, upon the average, than those ofthe present race, and all exhibited marks that would indicate that life had been taken indeadly combat. Scattered among the skulls and vertebrae, and arm and leg bones,were stone pipes and fragments of burnt clay.

    In Muskingum County's Brush Creek Township, in a document dated March 3, 1880, amound located on the farm of J.M. Baughman was measured 64 feet in width, 90 feet inlength, and 11 feet, 3 inches in height. It was flat on top, an unusual condition for amound. The mound achieved its odd shape possibly because of the stone altar, owningsimilar dimensions, found within. The structure was located on the summit of a hill, 152feet above the Brush Creek In it were discovered the bones of men and women, buriedin couplesthe length of their skeletons exceeding eight and even nine feet. The

    excavation was started in early December, 1870. There was another "dig" included aswell. This reflected an attitude toward the then-existing archaeologists, whom thesepeople apparently held in low regard.

    CONTINUOUS DATES FOR DISCOVERY

    In order to see that the discoveries of bones didnt happen all at once as the result ofmass hysteria we include a timeline of some of the giant finds.

    1800 Ohio, Conneaut: Among the normal size skeletons found in the remains ofmounds were found gigantic bones. Some of the skulls and jaws were large enough tofit over the head and face of a normal man.

    1821 Tennessee, White County: An ancient fortification contained skeletons of giganticstature averaging at least 7 feet in length.

    1825 Ohio Valley: David Cusick, a Tuscorora by birth, wrote that among the legends ofthe ancient people of the stock, there was a powerful tribe called Ronnongwetowanca.They were giants, and had a "considerable habitation." When the Great Spirit made thepeople, some of them became giants. After a time, and having endured the outrages ofthese giants, it is said that the people banded together, and through the final force ofabout 800 warriors, successfully annihilated the abhorrent Ronnongwetowanca.

    THE BEST HISTORIANS IN HISTORY MENTION THE GIANTS

    Most of those who chronicle the history of the giants begin with Genesis chapter six inthe Bible. Steven Quayle in his huge tome Genesis Six: Giants does a very fine jog ofthat. His book should be considered one of the great encyclopedias of giants ever

    written. He not only covers the story of the giants from the Bible, which is much largerthan most seminarians and biblical scholars have acknowledged, but covers sightingsall over the world. This book is a must for those who love the stories of the giants.However, we have preferred to give illustrations of the sampling of giant stories in orderto give the topic scope and breath.

    One of the greatest historians of all times, the ancient historian Josephus, noted in hisAntiquities of the Jews, that fallen angels and women produced children withsuperhuman strength. He linked these creatures to Greek mythology:

    Josephus, Antiquities, 5.2.3.:

    Josephus tells about the Jewish battle to wipe out the Nephilim in the Promised Land.He wrote that after the Jewish fighters had moved from Hebron to battle the Gibborim:

    And when they had taken it, they slew all the inhabitants. There were till then left a race

    of giants, who had bodies so large, and countenances so entirely different from othermen, that they were surprising to the sight and terrible to the hearing. The bones ofthese men are still shown to this very day, unlike to any credible relations of other men.

    John F Healy, in his book Pliny the Elder- Natural History- A Selection. Penguin Books,1991, said, While, today, one often gets the impression that the myths of the Greek andother civilizations were accepted on blind faith, in fact, the ancients often had bones andother artifacts to support the stories - something that makes them seem a little less likemyth and more like fact once this truth is uncovered. For example, one can read thishistoric account by the ancient writer Pliny the Elder. Pliny was an eye witness to boththe slaughters of the Jews in the Coliseum of Rome and to the eruption of Mr. Vesuvius.Pliny said,

    Ambassadors from Olisipo, sent on a mission with this purpose in view, reported to theEmperor Tiberius that a Triton, whose appearance is well known, had been seen andheard playing on a shell in a certain cave. I have illustrious knights as authority for theassertion that a Triton has been seen by them in the Gulf of Gades, perfectlyresembling a man in his physical appearance. They say that he climbs aboard shipsduring the night, and that the side of the ship on which he sits is weighed right down,and, if he should happen to stay there an unduly long time, the ship is submerged. Thebones of this monster ...were bought by Marcus Scaurus from Joppa in Judea... Themonster was over 40 feet long, and the height of its ribs was greater than that of Indianelephants, while its spine was 1 1/2 feet thick.

    Not only did Amerigo Vespucci and Magellan speak about their first hand encounterswith giants but so did Sir Francis Drake, Coronado, De Soto, Narvaez and others. Theyall talk about giants they encountered on their journeys. These are all documented,eyewitness sightings - which historians currently do their best to hide from thepublic.375 Pedro de Castaeda, who accompanied Coronado, wrote of the CocopaIndian tribe that they were giants who could carry logs that six of the Spaniards couldn't

    Archeologists often discover these large bones in graves. But these are usuallydismissed as being bones of "mastodons" - a premise that's hard to justify given the factthat the creatures are often buried in human graves wearing battle armor along with a

    shield and massive sword.

    THE LAST TWO CENTURIES

    A nine-foot, eight-inch skeleton excavated from a mount near Brewersville, Indiana, in1879.

    In Clearwater Minnesota, the skeletons of seven giants were found in mounds. Thesehad receding foreheads and complete double

    Dentition.

    At LeCrescent, Wisconsin, mounds were found to contain giant bones. Five milesnorth near Dresbach, the bones of people over eight feet tall were found.

    Near Toledo, Ohio, 20 skeletons were discovered with jaws and teeth "twice as largeas those of present day people." The account also noted that odd hieroglyphics werefound with the bodies 390

    In 1931, skeletons from eight and a half to ten feet long were found in the Humboltlake bed in California.393

    During World War II, author Ivan T. Sanderson, tells of how his crew was bulldozingthrough sedimentary rock when it stumbled upon what appeared to be a graveyard. In itwere crania that measured from 22 to 24 inches from base to crown - nearly three timesas large as an adult human skull. Had the creatures to whom these skulls belongedbeen properly proportioned, they undoubtedly would have been at least 12 feet tall - ortaller.

    In 1947, a local newspaper reported the discovery of nine-foot-tall skeletons byamateur archeologists working in Death Valley.396 The archeologists involved alsoclaimed to have found what appeared to be the bones of tigers and dinosaurs with thehuman

    Remains.

    In 1891, at Crittenden, Arizona, some workers digging the foundation for a new buildingstruck at a depth of eight feet a huge stone sarcophagus. When they were able to openthe lid, inside were the remains of a nine-foot giant which time had reduced mostly to apile of dust.

    In 1833, soldiers digging a pit at Lompock Rancho, California, unearthed a twelve-footgiant with a double row of teeth, both uppers and lowers. The Lompock giant's teeth,while unusual, were not unique; another ancient skeleton later found on Santa RosaIsland off the California coast showed the same dental peculiarity.

    INDIANA

    In 1879, some Indiana archaeologists dug into an ancient burial mound at Brewersville,Indiana, and unearthed a human skeleton that measured nine feet eight inches inlength. A mica necklace still hung around the giant's neck. The bones, which werestored in a grain mill, were swept away in the 1937 flood.

    In 1925, several amateurs digging in an Indian mound at Walkerton, Indiana, uncoveredthe skeletons of eight very ancient humans measuring in height from eight to almostnine feet. All eight giants had been buried in substantial copper armor.

    In his History of the Indies, Joseph de Acosta tells a story of the giants:

    When I was in Mexico, in the year of our Lord one thousand five hundred eighty six,they found one of those giants buried in one of our farms, which we call Iesus delMonte, of whom they brought a tooth to be seen, which (without augmenting) was as bigas the fist of a man; and, according to this, all the rest was proportionable, which I sawand admired at his deformed greatness.

    Montana's Giants

    In 1903, on an archaeological outing at Fish Creek, Montana, Professor S. Farr and hisgroup of Princeton University students came across several burial mounds. Choosingone to dig in, they unearthed the skeleton of a man about nine feet long. Next to him laythe bones of a woman, who had been almost as tall.589

    Assam Giant

    There have been giants found throughout Asia with the majority being in China.However, other areas have these remains as well with one notable find being a humanskeleton measuring eleven feet was found some years ago at Tura in Assam, near theborder of East Pakistan, reports Peter Kolosimo.

    Chang Woo Gow

    Not all Asian giants are ancient. The Chinese giant Chang Woo Gow showed himself inEngland in 1865/1866 at the old Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly. A courtly gentleman andable scholar, he was invited to visit the Prince and Princess of Wales. He stood eightfeet two inches. He was not the tallest in his family, however, for one sister measuredeight feet four inches. On his British tour, the nineteen-year-old Chang wasaccompanied by his bride, King-Foo ("The Fair Lily") and by a three-foot dwarf named

    Chung, who always stood at his side during the giant's public appearances and becamea sensation in Britain.

    Chinese Giants, Other

    The Chinese, in whose land archaeologists have found some of the earliest skeletalremains of giants, insist they once had among them some men as much as fifteen feettall. One might dismiss this as just another "tall tale," except that Melchior Nunnez, inhis letters from India, vouches for the fact that China grew some giants to thattremendous size. He "speaks of porters who guarded the gates of Peking who were ofthat immense height; and in a letter dated in 1555, he avers that the emperor of thatcountry entertained and fed five hundred of such men for archers of his guard."

    They were still there to be seen seventy years later, for George Hakewill, in hisApologie, 1627, issues a similar report "five hundred of such men for archers of hisguard."

    Tartar Giants

    In 1575, when the Tartars invaded Poland, Jacobus Niezabilo-vius slew a warrior ofenormous size who fought in their ranks. After the battle, Polish soldiers marveled thatas he lay dead on the ground "his body was of so prodigious a bulk that... his carcassreached to the navel of any ordinary person standing by the side of it.

    Benlli

    While building a new road near Mold in Flintshire in 1833, workers came across atumulus in which they found some bones and a skull of great size, along with a Lorica orgolden vest. Most believed the bones to be the remains of the renowned giant Welshwarrior Benlli who lived at Mold (c. AD 500), and who was surnamed the Giant of theGolden Vest.

    Hector Boetius, in his History of Scotland, reports that the bones of a Scottish giantnicknamed Little John, who stood fourteen feet high, were still to be seen in his day.

    Repton Giants

    In 1687, while digging into some hillocks at Repton in Derbyshire, Thomas Walker cameacross an old stone wall enclosure that contained a stone coffin with a skeleton ninefeet long. A century later, because of renewed interest in Walker's find, the ancientsepulcher was again opened... when bones of a very gigantic size, appertaining tonumerous skeletons, were discovered, together with some remains of warlikeinstruments.

    LIVING GIANTS

    19/20

    As far back as Enoch and Nimrod the giants were a hunted race of men. Nimrod wascalled the mighty hunter because he loved to hunt giants and lions. Over a very longperiod of time the giants were killed off because they conflicted with those who wereraising crops and animals for their own use. The Giants would come and pillage thepopulation because they were hungry.

    However, there are modern stories of living giants in our time. Steven Quayle is about topublish is sequel to his masterful work on the giants and will include a story of a giantfound on the Solomon Islands by the Japanese during the Second World War. Thisgiant lived underground in the massive caverns of the island and tossed the jeeps andtanks of the Japanese around with impunity. The giant was finally captured and Stevenwill tell you that story in his book. He will also tell you of a story about a giant found inthe mountains of Afghanistan during the post 911 invasion by US forces. This giant aswell was capable of extra human strength. Both of these giants were captured and themilitary is supposed to be trying to re-engineer a way of turning them into a militaryforce. These stories in isolation would sound preposterous. However, in light of the

    thousands of accounts of giants from all over the world they may not be as mythologicalas formerly thought.

    Steven has shared with Glenn his evidence and it is compelling.
