1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,120 Hello, my name is Jim Vieira. I'm a writer, researcher, world explorer, and a historical 2 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:26,800 detective. I'd like to share my research today on the lost world of giants. It's a 3 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,520 strange and controversial subject. I've come to the point where ideas like this are accepted 4 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,960 by some people and they view it as intuitively making sense and then there's others who will 5 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,720 never get it and basically derive the idea. So I don't want to oversell my case, I just want to 6 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,120 share what I find very interesting. The entire planet is littered with myth and legend about 7 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,440 giants. It's woven into the landscape all throughout the British Isles, for instance, 8 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,520 where virtually every ancient site is associated with the giant. A dolmen is a giant's grave or 9 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:10,120 the giant's causeway exists between Ireland and Scotland and you just can't escape the idea that 10 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:17,920 there's something to the story. So I find it particularly fascinating and I just ask the 11 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,120 viewer to have an open-minded opinion about it and see what they think. As far as I'm concerned, 12 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:30,880 I kind of fell into this whole strange topic by accident. I was just researching old documents 13 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,120 in the towns of New England looking for stone structures that pre-existed the colonists and 14 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,160 started to find many strange giant accounts and here my brother and I are in my office, 15 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,280 the Daily Giant in Asheville, Massachusetts, shooting a scene for a show we did for the 16 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:55,280 History Channel. Understandably, a lot of these shows are entertainment-driven but we took it 17 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,480 seriously as far as trying to verify all these strange accounts, talk to professionals, talk to 18 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:07,680 skeptics and anthropologists, talk to native peoples and just get an idea of what everybody's 19 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,600 thinking about this and to hear the case that archaeologists and anthropologists make against 20 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:20,960 giants existing. So my co-author Hugh Newman and I compiled a book based on all these accounts, 21 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,360 the legends of native tribes around the U.S. and what we put together I think is a pretty 22 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:35,760 matter-of-fact tome about the possibility of giants existing. So one of the problems with 23 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,760 modern-day anthropology is there's a pretty rigid paradigm that exists that doesn't allow for things 24 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,720 like giants to occur. Where do they come from? If humans evolved in Africa, spread out across 25 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,200 the world and populated these different areas and we evolved from australopithecines in the 26 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,360 lower Homo genus, basically there's no room for giants. There's no room for a lost civilization 27 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,320 where survivors show up that have different characteristics, possibly like six fingers and 28 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:14,000 six toes or are unusually tall like Cro-Magnon showing up in France and Spain 40,000 years ago 29 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,920 with a fully formed culture and being exceptionally tall. That just doesn't really 30 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,120 exist in the world of anthropology. And evolutionary theory frankly is nothing more than educated 31 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,920 guess. A perceptual shift away from it within a different way of viewing it can change the 32 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:39,680 whole paradigm. But right now anthropology exists in this realm. Once you weigh down a theory then 33 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,120 you have people who support it. Then you have people who become tenured by teaching these theories. 34 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,800 And they're just, I'd say conspiracy doesn't take over. The human ego takes over. Agenda takes 35 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,760 over. You're not in this field. I don't want to hear from you or if somebody threatens a status 36 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,800 quo, they're just not well received. And that happens in all scientific disciplines. 37 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,960 Ideas like when the Alvarez father and son team proposed that at Chicxulub in Mexico a 38 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,880 meteor hit 65 million years ago to wipe out the dinosaurs. That was considered heresy at the time, 39 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:25,040 a ridiculous idea. And frankly every fact of science was once damned as Robert Anton Wilson 40 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:32,960 once said. So what you have here is a paradigm that's just an educated guess. And I would say 41 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,040 at this point with all the new findings of Denisovans and human origins going back deeper into 42 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:45,360 antiquity, the idea and the story of human origins is all over the place. We just don't know. And 43 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,440 scientists don't know. And we have out of Africa up in the air the Clovis Barrier seems to be 44 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,720 obliterated. The idea that the only people that came to the Americas was before, I mean 45 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,120 after 13,000 years ago from the land bridge. So I'm willing to look at these things from a 46 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,600 mythological and esoteric viewpoint and hopefully you'll see the wisdom in that approach. 47 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,080 And I'm not going to go on a long rant about where humans came from but there's a lot of 48 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,080 evidence and a lot of belief that we're actually created as a genetic experiment if you will. 49 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,600 Humans are very strange species. We seem to be completely different from some of our supposed 50 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,720 ancestors. And the rate at which we evolved in our brain capacity accelerated seems to be out of 51 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,160 alignment. Like you'll have an elegant theory created like play tectonics or evolution out of 52 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Africa and it's like oh that makes perfect sense. But then as time goes on new science presents 53 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,200 problems and then these bridge theories are created to accommodate this new way of thinking. 54 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,200 But they usually don't make any sense. It's just like let's keep pushing this paradigm forward 55 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,320 and patching it together in a Frankenstein manner rather than thinking maybe we have it wrong, 56 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,760 maybe there's another mechanism we don't understand and maybe humans were genetically created. 57 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,560 It's in all the ancient documents, the readings of mystics and the great chroniclers. 58 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,640 And if you read Ella Silva's book who's very level-headed and he gives a scientific 59 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:27,920 evaluation of the evidence and he makes a really strong case. So once again just the entire 60 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:35,840 universe all it does is produce life. It's just really crazy to think that we're the only ones 61 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:44,480 here. And I'll just leave it at that. What we think as incontrovertible facts like the science 62 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,760 behind how your cell phone works is much different than an educated guess that you have in geology 63 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,880 and anthropology and archaeology. Now you have to value everything and you've got to demand certain 64 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:02,800 evidence and scientific rigor. But at the same time nobody has a time machine. Nobody has a monopoly 65 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:10,080 on these kinds of truths if you will. It's not an incontrovertible mathematical formula. So I think 66 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,640 we should be open and look to the more esoterical holistic sources to figure out what's going on. 67 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,680 So I'm going to start with one of my favorite sites on the planet which is the the walls of 68 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Soxhuaman down in Peru. Now this is a megalithic masterpiece with stones up to 350 tons. And being 69 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,960 a stonemason and somebody who is well versed in engineering when I visit these sites I'm 70 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:44,720 awestruck. At a loss for words when you look at these joints between the stones they're not just 71 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,320 so thin or so well fit you can't get a razor blade between them. It's just like 72 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:58,640 incomprehensibly met together at all seams all the way through here. And what you find at these 73 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,440 ancient sites in Peru and Bolivia and other places in South America is different levels of 74 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,800 construction. Like here you can see some of the after the facts what I would say Inca building 75 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:15,840 that comes after the Cyclopean ancient building that I believe is much more ancient than 200 AD. 76 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,240 So when the Incas told the Spanish that they weren't the ones who built Soxhuaman but the 77 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:29,680 giants that is what you know what is specifically noted to be told to the Spanish explorers. 78 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,320 They're like who built these amazing structures? The Spanish were like awestruck. They thought 79 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:41,120 devils and demons built the stonework. It was so outrageous. So in their mythology there were huge 80 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,560 people living in the Cusco area and carried huge blocks of stones and put them together. The 81 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,720 Vera Coaches or the giants were the ones said to build some of these structures. 82 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:59,920 And basically when you interact with native people you realize there is a lineage of wisdom 83 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:06,080 keepers who continue to promulgate these ideas that were carried for thousands and thousands of 84 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:12,480 years about their past. So why would you slip in any erroneous information as a culture with 85 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,640 integrity who wants to tell the story of their past in their creation. So much like indigenous 86 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,560 oral traditions all around the planet here in South America the native people spoke of giants 87 00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:32,000 building some of these ancient structures. So the god Vera Coacha this androgynous god who showed 88 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,960 up in a merge from Lake Titicaca. He made earth and sky then fashioned from stone a race of giants 89 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,720 displeased with them he turned stone some giants back into stone and destroyed the rest in a flood. 90 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:51,360 Now there was like a mythological aspect here and you know it's basically a mind that doesn't 91 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:58,800 understand the supernatural or what these creator gods were doing in the sense that you know this 92 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,880 sounds like a fairy tale just like Jack and the Beanstalk. But this matches with ideas about 93 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,280 giants around the planet that the giants were the first beings created and that it would 94 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,800 destroy to some cataclysm eons ago and this permeates through flood myths all around the 95 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:22,080 planet including in the Bible. So here is the god Vera Coacha right here he's carrying or he's 96 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,000 representing this god self icon that Richard Casaro researcher talks about that you find all 97 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,480 around the planet and he's also often portrayed with six fingers and six toes. So here are the 98 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,800 some of the megalithic sites I'm just going to show you from my perspective. The the pillowing 99 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,560 of the scooping of this site at Sacsayhuaman in Peru it looks like the stone was almost melted. 100 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:54,160 In fact the great explorer Percy Fawcett talked about this as he searched for the lost city of Z. 101 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,760 He surveyed the Amazon he's a well-known explorer who disappeared with his son 102 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:08,160 in the Amazon forest searching for the lost city of Z. So he talked about so Fawcett talked about 103 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,960 that birds would take this this plant and they would put it in stone and they would melt 104 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,280 these nests for their young and he thought that this these structures were built in a similar way 105 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:26,560 like the the stone was softened somehow. So you'll find evidence of amazing construction 106 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,240 engineering and frankly cataclysm all over South America at these ancient sites. One of the most 107 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:39,360 telling is this flipped upside down staircase at the site of Sacsayhuaman and you'll see right here 108 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,280 it's cut into the stone and flipped upside down it looks like a cataclysm through this all around 109 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,560 and that's what the ancient people said that there was a great flood a great cataclysm 110 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:56,720 brought by the gods to destroy the giants. Now at Olatay Tombaugh we have these massive 111 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,560 granite columns that are pieced together. This is a particularly interesting site because it has these 112 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:07,920 earthquake shims if you will in the middle of them and look at how meticulous and tight the 113 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:15,280 seams are here just just astonishing stonework and I just you know I looked at every site and 114 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,320 I looked at any clue that some of the lesser construction had been built before some of the 115 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,480 megalithic masterpiece and I could find none of it whether I went to the top of Machu Picchu or 116 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:34,400 every ancient site which I essentially found was that it spoke the stones basically told me a story 117 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:41,600 that there was a more ancient building technique a cyclopean building that occurred in the distant 118 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,200 past and here is the side of the shot of Olatay Tombaugh and you see these are not thin stones 119 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,640 that were brought from a quarry over that mountain a place I know David Hatcher Childress and Brian 120 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Forrester visited I haven't been there yet but it's really an incredible trek to get these over 121 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:05,200 here and you find these sites all around you know the stonework all around these sites I should say 122 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,880 with these these odd protrusions that you find in ancient Egypt and other places as well 123 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:19,120 so these fits don't just they're not just tight on the surface if you pull this block back 124 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,200 all the interlocking seams this this flawless and meticulous joining of seams goes all the way back 125 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,200 into these interlocking fits which implies mathematics and engineering and expertise that 126 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:38,000 you know frankly I think like geologists archaeologists folklorists and a team of 127 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,680 people should be viewing these these sites and trying to assess how they were built and if it 128 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:49,440 was possible and I would say with the tools of the time these sites were not you know possibly 129 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:56,400 built by the people that were attributed with the construction now there's a lot of ideas that have 130 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:03,600 basically embedded in racism like oh oh these these these gods showed up and did all the 131 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,840 stonework trying to you know pull away all these great accomplishments from native people that 132 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,120 that's not what I'm about at all I think if you look into the story of the past flood survivors 133 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:21,600 and gods are known to show up everywhere and restart civilization and it's it doesn't have 134 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,960 anything to do with with who could do what it was more like where did we come from so I'm going 135 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,880 to show you a few more sites here I think you'll start to understand what I'm talking about you 136 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:39,920 know you have these incredibly multi-angled cuts fit together in the city of Cusco here's Brian 137 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,120 Forrest and I talking about the this pillowing effect on these walls and the different layers 138 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:51,040 of construction and in fact in the 50s archaeologists they fully took apart this wall I think an 139 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,840 earthquake revealed this and here's an ankle wall in front of the oldest psycholpian building 140 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,720 and here's what it looks like today and you see the after the fact this kind of lame 141 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:08,400 maybe anchor Spanish building that that occurred after so remember that the native people who 142 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,920 lived here for thousands of years said this was built by a lost race of giants which is 143 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,000 whatever you want to make of it it's pretty wild here's the Cori cancha the temple of the sun 144 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:28,960 and Cusco and it's you know a fascinating megalithic site here's Machu Picchu up at the 145 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:37,280 top level just just an astonishing amount of expertise portrayed here so when the first 146 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,560 chronicles arrived in with Pizarro the Inca explained that Tiwanaku had been constructed 147 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:49,520 by a race of giants called the Huaris before the period of darkness and was already in ruins before 148 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:56,800 their own civilization began and you have many of these ancient statues of bearded beings and 149 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:05,280 the sun gate with Veracocha is Arthur Poznanski with some of these you know crater god statues 150 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:10,880 who are these people you know were they giants were they of a lost continent 151 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:21,280 and then you get to Pumapunku a site that people you know really interested in ancient mysteries 152 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:27,760 are well aware of and once again I was there and astonished as a stonemason I have a friend who 153 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:33,920 owns a massive diamond saw and cuts ashfield stone and makes countertops and there's like a 154 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:40,160 polished level that looks like a diamond saw and there's interior cuts there's just this incredible 155 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,160 precision in the cutting that you just can't do with it without some kind of machining or technology 156 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,240 we don't understand you just can't pull that off in a thousand years of chiseling away with 157 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:56,720 carpet chisels or the tools of the time I got a nice cat shirt right there one of the accounts 158 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,560 that came from here was from a captain Beasley who found a giant skull in Bolivia of a human 159 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,760 being who must have been eight feet in height now there's all kinds of mysteries from the site 160 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,760 we have the paraka skulls that brian forreston talks about there were several elongated skulls 161 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:20,560 found at pumapunku as a matter of fact in the early 1900s now this idea of giants is all 162 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:26,800 throughout mexico and all throughout south america one of the spanish spanish priests chronicled 163 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:34,640 this oral tradition of killing a giant in the mountains that the toltechs told him and this 164 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:41,200 isn't codex in the in the vatican and make of it what you want but this is the idea just like 165 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,200 native people and people all around the world that there was a cannibalistic race of giants 166 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,800 that existed and here are some of the accounts from mexico charles clap who recently returned 167 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,560 from mexico has been in charge of ton Thomas Lawson's mining interests he has called the 168 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,440 attention of professor agaziz to a remarkable discovery made by him he found in mexico a 169 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,920 cave containing some 200 skeletons of men each above eight feet in height the cave was evidently 170 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:14,480 the burial place of a race of giants who annotated the aztecs so you have many of these accounts 171 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,720 10 foot tall in neorite mexico two great men two men said the discovery had made in great burial 172 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,720 mountains in the mountains of southwest here and you just have these these explorers and 173 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,560 archaeologists reporting you know some outrageous things around the planet 174 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,880 right here hew and i are in a burial mound site around six thousand years old in france 175 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:45,760 and these are some of the megalithic sites that we visited and we took a trip to france to look 176 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:51,840 for the joe the bones of the giant of castelnau so here is the grand men hair it was once 70 foot 177 00:18:51,840 --> 00:19:01,840 tall 350 tons at least 600 and 7500 years old and look how tall it was when it was once in 178 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,680 standing this is a recreation of it right here so you have these giant structures everywhere 179 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,840 and you have these legends of giants in the area of britney just like so many other places 180 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:21,120 so here is famous carnac mont Saint michel and this is the account we went to investigate and 181 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:32,560 look for the bones basically in 1890 four different bones for moral mid shaft and other 182 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:38,400 parts were found and the anthropologist leponge studied them and there was a peer review at the 183 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:45,040 time of this case and here are the the bones right here and this story was brought to us by the 184 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,720 research of mike aeua who's a friend of mine and has done a lot of work in this area and uncovering 185 00:19:50,960 --> 00:20:00,480 these buried buried reports right here is another shot of it and this is what these these bones 186 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:09,440 look like when compared and you know rearticulated into proper size you have basically the remains 187 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:15,200 of an 11-foot giant and that's what the conclusion was of these scientists at the time and they 188 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:23,200 indicated it wasn't morbid growth it wasn't pituitary gigantism so leponge well regarded 189 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,800 anthropologist respected by madison grant and even included in top and odds journals so his 190 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:35,680 atheistic darwinian socialist anti-semitic eugenic views make his discovery of giant bones all the 191 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,960 more noteworthy this is what mike aeua's was saying about this find his calculations indicate 192 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:47,280 the neolithic giant man was about 3.5 meters tall and several hundred kilograms weight 11 feet 193 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,720 six and a thousand pounds so we went and we searched for these bones at the university of 194 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:59,120 montpelier but leponge was fired because he was such an anti-semitic and a racist so we were 195 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,800 looking and trying to find if they were in a private collection or not because we wanted to 196 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:11,920 get them examined and dna tested but so far we haven't found what happened to them so that story 197 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:18,080 doesn't stand alone right here you have skulls measuring 28 31 and 32 inches of circumference 198 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,720 which is absolutely enormous and they were supposed to have been brought to the paris academy 199 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:30,080 once again these ancient reports or these ancient remains are brought to different institutions and 200 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:36,080 then they can't seem to be located we have many of these accounts from france bones of giants 201 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:44,640 around earth near paris this is after the war that german prisoners found many of these giant 202 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:51,200 remains this skeleton one of which measured eight feet seven inches laying a sarcophagus formed of 203 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:59,280 flat stones in gap france this one is particularly interesting in each case the heads were of great 204 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,560 size with huge jaw bones in the u.s you have many of these accounts where the jaw bone fits over the 205 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:14,640 face right here a 13 foot long skeleton uncovered and basically cecilia hall our friend puts together 206 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,680 this map in the u.s showing all these accounts once again i'm not going to claim everyone is true 207 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,480 but there's another story going on here is it you know can it be that all these were conjured up as 208 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:31,360 hoaxes or mismeasurements it really seems unlikely and who and i right now are writing a book on the 209 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:37,280 giants of the british isles and all these accounts are starting to come forward as well and this is 210 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,760 a phenomena that that you find in isolated pacific islands it's basically all ubiquitous 211 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,440 all around the world so at the site of non-medal in pauna pay you have the megalithic ruins that 212 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:56,400 exist there and the native people there tell the story that there were two twin brothers who were 213 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:02,160 sorcerers who showed up from a lost sunken continent and they levitated these stones to 214 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:08,880 build this ancient site now it's dated to around 1200 or 1300 years ago by the sardolier empire 215 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,920 by modern-day archaeologists but the natives tell a different story and in fact my friend 216 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,800 who was on my show al parapay and he lived in pauna pay and he taught english there and he 217 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,520 was friends with many of the natives in fact he one day he took fruit from the site when he 218 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,000 visited he brought it back and they told him to throw it away because it was cursed the native 219 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,640 people literally call this place the place of ghosts the place of giants they view it in a 220 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:40,560 malevolent way they don't take credit for their ancestors having built it there's basically the 221 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,280 superstitious dread associated with the site and that's not like conjured up so somebody could 222 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,680 write a passage in a book or something like that that's literally what the native people say there 223 00:23:52,960 --> 00:24:00,080 so you also have this account from the american geographical society in 1838 captain coffin 224 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,920 of the ship ohio nantucket and captain sherman of the marcus fairhaven visited the vaults together 225 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,920 in non-medal and took from it human bones of gigantic size now that's the american 226 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,400 geographical society it's not the national inquirer you know there are many reputable 227 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,480 publications that are reporting these giant finds here's the site right here it's a massive 228 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:29,200 megalithic complex i think over 250 million tons of basalt was quarried and brought from the other 229 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,160 side of the island to build this place it's really you know quite an amazing construction 230 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,880 and here's this story we covered in our show as well in the early 20th century when the island 231 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,400 was under german rule governor vikter burg entered the sealed tomb of non-medal and opened the coffin 232 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:52,560 of the ancient island rulers he found skeletons of giants eight to nine feet tall the next morning 233 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:59,440 on april 30th 1907 on a stormy night governor burg died the german physician serving on the 234 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,560 island could not determine the cause of death the natives certainly was a curse that proved 235 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:10,960 supernatural powers guard the city of the dead so you you find this like soars of thunder 236 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,280 idea all around the planet where you disturb the ancient graves of the giants you end up 237 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:26,560 um conjuring some kind of geomantic or or you know supernatural dread and storms and things like that 238 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,000 so you and i must think that's funny here we are at our office 239 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,000 and i have like the zodiac killer all these accounts paste all over the wall 240 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,400 now this is another part of the world where giants were reported in patagonia 241 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:51,680 and you know we have these reports for hundreds of years from jellan and sir francis drake and 242 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,200 there were reports of nine and ten foot tall giant people you know i think the reality might be a 243 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:04,480 little uh in the middle if you will maybe not nine to ten foot tall but certainly you know a race of 244 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,760 people that seem much taller than than your average day people an anthropological curveball 245 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:15,280 if you will so we have frederick cook who wrote about the owner tribe from six to seven and a 246 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:22,240 half feet tall and they wore animal skins had horse endurance in bull strength he photographed 247 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:31,760 a six foot six owner woman a seven foot male and others so in researching um the british isles 248 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:38,640 for these accounts of giants we found an association uh at basically all every 249 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:44,240 megalithic site you can mention that there's a giant account or a giant legend and here we 250 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:50,880 have merlin being assisted by a giant in the creation of stonehenge called the giant stance 251 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:58,800 originally and we have this nine foot four inch skeleton that was found in near salsbury 252 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:04,400 in the area of stonehenge and this account is is particularly telling because a lot of the 253 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,920 criticism is like oh these these accounts are hundreds of years old they're farmers and you 254 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,840 know folklorists and people who don't understand science but this account was made in 1950 irish 255 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:22,000 men were giant ancient supermen dug up in burial chambers now this is at four nox 256 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,400 in in ireland this site irish archaeologists have unearthed traces of a bygone race of supermen 257 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:36,000 in a prehistoric burial chamber dated to 2000 bc they found human skeletons which tower headed 258 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,080 and shoulders of a modern man most are around seven feet in height of extraordinary width of 259 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,040 shoulder and massive bone construction and the yellow pages of irish folklore and mythology 260 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,800 seven foot giants strode gloriously through a land of milk and honey 261 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,480 so here's the site right now four nox and this is what it looks like 262 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,720 and this is hardly the only site that we've you know find giants remains reported 263 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,000 right here found the skeleton of a man measuring eight feet 264 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,200 eight foot five and a half unearthed with an old sword bearing the following inscription 265 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,480 donak o'keef 1231 ad 266 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:26,160 10 foot tall giant reported here the the three persons had been interred in separate graves 267 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,600 all encased in stones the skull of the giant measured 18 inches from the crown to the head 268 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,680 of the head to the chin once again the the measurement of a stationary object 269 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:44,400 is occurring here it's just like 18 inches head to crown head to chin fema bone was 29 inches 270 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:50,400 circumference was 32 inches you know things like that this is an interesting account this this 271 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:57,200 giant has six toes it was published in in an article i think in 1897 in the strand magazine 272 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:03,760 now people scoff at this because the cardiff giant in the united states was found and it was 273 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:10,800 known to be a hoax that was created and the whole idea was derided of it being real but this was 274 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,320 laid up against a a rail car half of this picture and they they basically showed this giant all 275 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:23,680 around you know the uk and ireland in the late 1890s and then it disappeared and it has six 276 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,040 toes which is interesting and i can't really proclaim to know what the story is all about i 277 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,800 just wanted to show it and here is the the entire story of it right now 12 feet 2 inches 278 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,680 so all around the british isles you have dolmens that are considered giants graves they're really 279 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:47,600 beautiful works of construction they're always associated with giants and dropping stones from 280 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:55,840 their aprons or you know ancient pathways and being a stonemason i'm just a fan of the beauty 281 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:02,800 of all these constructions and how challenging it is to build these things and speaking of a 282 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:10,800 challenging site here is balbek in lebanon and these three stones weigh from 800 to a thousand 283 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:17,440 tons i believe for me this is a real megalithic marvel the the weight i think is around two 284 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,280 million pounds for these stones that were laid up at balbek and there's some speculation that 285 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,720 you know it's more ancient than roman times and you know the local people tell a different story 286 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:35,440 and here's an account from 1432 balbek is a good town well enclosed with walls intolerably commercial 287 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,560 and the center is a castle built with very large stones at present it contains a mosque 288 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:46,160 in which it is said there is a human skull with eyes so enormous that a man may pass his head 289 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:55,440 through their openings here's hue at the quarry shows you how outrageous and and 290 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:02,080 immovable these stones are so graham hankock says the the following i believe these huge megaliths 291 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,840 long predate the construction of the temple of jupiter now likely to be 12 000 more years old 292 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:14,000 compare uh contemporaneous with the megalithic site of gobekli tepe in turkey i suggest we 293 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,640 are looking at the handiwork of the survivors of the lost civilization that the romans built 294 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,320 their temple of jupiter on a pre-existing megalithic foundation and that they were unaware of the giant 295 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:31,040 hewn megaliths in the ancient quarry as these were covered by sediment in roman times now here 296 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:38,400 is the roman construction at the site according to the marinite patriarch of lebanon tradition 297 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,440 states that the fortress of balbek and the most ancient is the most ancient building in the world 298 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,920 kane the son of adam built it in the year 133 of the creation during a fit of raving madness 299 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:56,960 he gave it the name of his son enoch in the name of his son enoch and people it with giants who 300 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:04,160 were punished for the inequities by the flood so here in egypt once again we have legends of 301 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:10,480 giants this is put together with by researcher mohammed abdo you see these giants portrayed 302 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:19,040 all through egypt and in fact we have an account in 1881 of professor timmerman uh timmerman finding 303 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:29,280 giants in the temple of isis here is zawi hawass looking at what is uh categorized as a giant with 304 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:36,320 elongated skull i'd love to know what he's thinking and the the site of the assyrian and other sites 305 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,920 in egypt are thought to maybe be more ancient than once believed i could tell you that the 306 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:48,720 megalithic construction here of granite is is exceedingly impressive and you find these 307 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:54,960 myths and legends that surround these sites as well so we are told in the year 820 ad 308 00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,800 way back in the days of the glory of baghdad the great great sultan the fall of the descendants of 309 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:07,840 the great el-rashid of arabian knights the sultan el-rashid al-ma'an decided to open the great 310 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,760 pyramid he had been told that it had been built by giants who were called the shedai 311 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,960 superhuman beings and that within the pyramid in those pyramids they had stored a great treasure 312 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:27,760 beyond the knowledge of man this is by manly p hall the great freemason author and wisdom keeper 313 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:34,640 and he relates this account of giants and the supernatural that's one of the things here it's 314 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,960 you know in all these stories you get supernatural aspects involved that you know in modern day you 315 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,840 like that's mythological it doesn't make any sense but that's what these people talk about 316 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:51,600 these ancient people tell stories of the supernatural over and over again in sardinia 317 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:58,160 there are amazing megalithic structures accounts of giants legends of giants if you're a fan of 318 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:05,200 ancient aliens they just did a ancient sardinian giant episode that hue newman was in and they 319 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,320 used some of our research in the show and a lot of hugh's footage it's because it's a really 320 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:17,600 compelling story we have giants tombs all around the island and we have giant skeleton accounts 321 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:26,320 like in 1953 word is reported that excavations at a nearby puerto torres have uncovered the 322 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,840 skeletons of two giant warriors who died 4 000 years ago the two skeletons both intact and 323 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:38,800 surrounded by weapons furnishings and vases were more than eight feet tall that's in 1953 by reuters 324 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,960 here are some of the tombs and the megalithic sites around the island just really really fine 325 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:51,200 stonework it was considered the last stronghold of the giants sardinia was and just like malta 326 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:56,320 and other mediterranean places there are legends of giants associated with it here's some of the 327 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:04,960 megalithic construction it seems like you can't separate giants from myth legend and megalithic 328 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:11,120 building as well so this is from 1911 sardinia is celebrated for the tombs which prove that 329 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,640 pre-historically it was inhabited by great giants recently four new tombs have been found which 330 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:24,720 contain skeletons over nine feet long and then you have these statues of giants the really weird 331 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:33,680 beings that are portrayed here and this is one of my favorite accounts from sicily a captain allen 332 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:43,280 is described in the tongue of time by joseph comstock so he found 170 feet down 333 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:52,720 uh this this tomb uh they were mining sulfur i think and in the spring of 1807 from the some 334 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:57,920 miles from the port of giorghetti in sicily the bones were placed in a proper position the skeleton 335 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:04,880 was measured by captain allen at 11 feet four inches italian which is 10 six english the skull 336 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:10,640 which is uh with its jaws were about the dimensions of a two gallon bucket the body and other giants 337 00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:17,040 were found in the stone sarcophagi 170 feet below a sulfur mine the the people living there were 338 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,400 sulfur miners and they had dug 170 feet down and they found this enormous skeleton in a tomb 339 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:30,480 in this this marble tablet tablet with uh strange hieroglyphs on it so in fact when captain allen 340 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:40,400 got back to philadelphia he wrote and noted got notarized a statement attesting to his his report 341 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:47,600 so captain allen wrote a sworn statement attesting to the truth of his find and joseph bacchus has 342 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:52,240 this letter in his book and captain allen lays out the entire story where he talks about this 343 00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:57,040 absolutely enormous skeleton that was found and it speaks of you know giants of a lost age 344 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,840 um you know it is worthy of notice that the cyclops a race of men of gigantic stature were 345 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:09,920 referred by the ancients to the very region these bones were found the western parts of sicily 346 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:16,080 so all around sicily you find these megalithic cyclopean buildings that you find in other parts 347 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:22,880 of the world once again associated with the lost race and associated with giants uh once you know 348 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,480 this this inter fitting interlocking super ancient stonework is found in many parts of 349 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:36,400 italy and greece and here are some of the walls here quite astonishing so you go over to malta 350 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:42,000 and maltis folklore describes giants as having built the temples which led to the name gigantia 351 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,400 meaning giants tower here's malta right here all throughout malta you have myths and legends of 352 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:54,800 giants you have super ancient megalithic buildings and temples really an astonishing 353 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:01,760 array of megalithic sites and in the bible you have this account of the giant of gath who has 354 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:08,720 six fingers and six toes 24 digits and all at the hypergeme in malta about 100 years ago it was 355 00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:13,920 reported there was a handprint with six fingers on the wall i contacted the curator of the museum 356 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:20,400 he said in fact yes we know there was one reported by like a noted archaeologist but 357 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:25,600 we've been unable to find it so somewhere in this temple there is a handprint with six fingers 358 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,600 so congenital formations a historical perspective from the medical journal of malta 359 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,480 polydactyl six fingers and six toes is also evident in a handprint described from the 360 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:49,280 hypergeme as well as hagarchem you have polydactyl and a statuette from that site as well so those 361 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:57,440 the large women the the neolithic goddesses are the statues that they're talking about and the 362 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:04,080 one from the temple had polydactylism represented which you find all around the world this idea of 363 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:11,200 six fingers and six toes associated with giants so here we have the canary islands another place 364 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:16,000 with myths and legends of giants it's a really beautiful area in this account 365 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,400 you have a gigantic race of men being reported and one of these stated to have been found as 366 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:29,840 quoted in pritchard 1855 which measured 15 feet in length the skull contained 80 teeth which is 367 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,680 quite an extraordinary find so professor chris cumes and the giants of wales writes this account 368 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,640 as well in the time of hadrian the emperor that was raised from the earth a giant called ida this 369 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:47,280 is around 200 ad who had 20 who was 20 feet in length and who had double sets of teeth or two 370 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:52,480 rows of teeth standing completely preserved in his head or gums and you find this all around 371 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,160 ancient america here's noble county eight foot skeletons with double rows of teeth 372 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:02,960 and i find this particularly interesting alice cook cotter writes the chaplains of bethencourt 373 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:08,720 found in fuerteventura men of extraordinary stature this is on the canary islands they were 374 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:14,080 by some supposed to be a race of giants among the dead after a certain battle the spaniards found a 375 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,880 warrior nine feet in length all the canary islands remains of buildings have been found 376 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,080 in all cases they were of a cyclopean class of architecture made of blocks massed together 377 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:30,640 without the use of cement often cut and polished and fitted with such skill that the interior 378 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,840 appeared as if whitened with gypsum the stones were sometimes so large that it seemed impossible 379 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:42,720 that men could have placed them one on top of the other now i have not located in the canary islands 380 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:49,840 these sites that i talked about in this report yet we do know there are pyramids in the canary islands 381 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,400 that thore hyadol investigated there were different thoughts about when these were built 382 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,040 but it seems like there's a megalithic mystery tied to this idea of giants in the canaries 383 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:06,480 so six fingers and six toes is something that's found in isolated pacific islands as well as the 384 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:13,600 american southwest and other places and here is the island of caribati so in 1949 i.g. turabot 385 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:20,400 the anthropologist wrote a book about the footprints there so this is what he said the 386 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:25,600 short account is a factual report without any personal comments or interpretations of the position 387 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:31,840 of two series of footprints appearing on tarawa atoll in the gilbert islands as shown to me 388 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:37,680 explained by some of the old men of tarawa the location of the present capital of the gilbert 389 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,680 and alice islands colony here is one of the giant footprints it's a kind of washed out picture 390 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:51,760 with six fingers six toes here there was a one of the elders standing in it as well and the 391 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:58,320 the elders of the island said that giants lived there and giants existed in the past before a 392 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:04,240 great flood in easter island you have the same thing you have six fingers six toes found in 393 00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:11,280 fiji you find handprints with six fingers in australia you have the guardian spirits 394 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:18,000 with six fingers and six toes these giant beings who are basically portrayed with this 395 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,600 polydactylism that is reported in the bible in the specific account associated with giants you 396 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,840 find it all around the americas in fact you find it all around the globe and ancient statues 397 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:35,440 or these ancestor worship idols some of the oldest statues on the planet show six fingers 398 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:44,080 or six toes and it's pointing to this this idea of this parent race or this loss race and you know 399 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:51,280 to me as somebody just tries to piece all the parts together it seems beyond coincidence that 400 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:57,920 you have so much of the same strange and specific notations by people had and civilizations that had 401 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:04,960 no contact with each other so you know like i said i i really i think there's a story here 402 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:11,840 and you know it rings true to me intuitively it makes sense and i'll leave it up to the viewer 403 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,800 to decide but you know as science progresses and hopefully becomes more open-minded and more sites 404 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,760 are on earth maybe we will get more and more evidence that supports a more mythological 405 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,560 past so i appreciate you listening and thank you 406 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,560 so
