1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,060
Legends throughout the world have spoken of a race of giants that once walked the earth.

2
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:36,060
The Holy Bible speaks about the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of man.

3
00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:44,060
It is believed by some that these were the Nephilim, theorized to be gigantic in nature.

4
00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:50,060
Arguments have risen in the theological community for centuries as to what the Nephilim were,

5
00:00:50,060 --> 00:00:54,060
or if they were indeed the giants that seemed to be described.

6
00:00:54,060 --> 00:01:03,060
However, what cannot be argued is that judo-christian doctrines are not the only ones to speak of a giant human species.

7
00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:07,060
Who were these giants that once roamed the earth?

8
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:26,060
To be continued...

9
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:38,060
Before the Bible was even conceived of, there were oral histories passed down from generation to generation in Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Egypt, as well as America.

10
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:44,060
Most of these legends speak of powerful gods and goddesses that were larger than life.

11
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:51,060
History has relegated these legends to the myth status and they are not seen as actual historical accounts.

12
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:58,060
However, it is noteworthy that there were many of these legends all over the world at one point.

13
00:01:58,060 --> 00:02:06,060
How did so many different cultures, who had nothing to do with each other, end up with similar stories of giants?

14
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:13,060
And is there evidence of the existence of giants available today?

15
00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:19,060
The legends of giants in Mediterranean countries were probably the most widely known and discussed.

16
00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:26,060
Beyond the biblical accounts such as David and Goliath, there are the accounts of the Babylonian king Gilgamesh.

17
00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:33,060
In stone tablets that have been recovered, there are images carved of Gilgamesh taking on a lion.

18
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:41,060
In looking at the scale of the ancient carvings, it appears this man had to have been at least 12 to 15 feet tall,

19
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:49,060
taking into consideration the size of the lion he is portrayed to have slain.

20
00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:55,060
Gilgamesh lived sometime between 2800 and 2500 BC.

21
00:02:55,060 --> 00:03:04,060
He is the main character in the Epic of Gilgamesh, a Mesopotamian poem that is considered the first great work of literature.

22
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:14,060
In the Epic, Gilgamesh is a demigod of superhuman strength, who built the city walls of Uruk to defend his people and survive the great deluge.

23
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:21,060
According to the Sumerian king List, Gilgamesh ruled his city for 126 years.

24
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:32,060
Fragments of an epic text found in Mithurin, the modern Talharad, relate that at the end of his life, Gilgamesh was buried under the riverbed.

25
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:47,060
It is generally accepted that Gilgamesh was a historical figure, since inscriptions have been found which confirm the historical existence of other figures associated with him, such as the Aga of Kish.

26
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:54,060
If Gilgamesh was a historical king, he probably reigned in about the 26th century BC.

27
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:57,060
Where did Gilgamesh come from?

28
00:03:57,060 --> 00:04:06,060
In the Qumran scroll known as the Book of Giants, the names of Gilgamesh and Humbaba appear as two of the antediluvian giants.

29
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:12,060
Could Gilgamesh have come from Atlantis, or be a direct descendant of antediluvian kings?

30
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:29,060
If giants existed in the past, where is the evidence?

31
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:35,060
You may be surprised to find that it's been and is being discovered all over the world.

32
00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:42,060
Skeletal remains of giants have been discovered throughout American history, and even further back.

33
00:04:42,060 --> 00:05:00,060
According to Native American Paiute oral history, the Satika are a legendary tribe whose mummified remains were allegedly discovered under four feet of guano by guano miners in what is now known as Lovelock Cave in Lovelock, Nevada.

34
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:18,060
Several of the fiber sandals found in Lovelock Cave were remarkably large, and one reported at over 15 inches in length was said to be on display at the Nevada Historical Society's Museum in Reno in 1952.

35
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:26,060
The Paiute tradition asserts that the Satika people practiced cannibalism, and this may have had some basis in fact.

36
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:35,060
During the 1924 excavation of the cave, a series of three human bones were found near the surface towards the mouth of the cave.

37
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:44,060
These had been split to extract the marrow as animal bones were split, and probably indicate cannibalism during a famine.

38
00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:58,060
As reported in the Nevada Review Minor newspaper on June 19, 1931, in February and June of 1931, two very large skeletons were found in the Humboldt dry lake bed near Lovelock.

39
00:05:58,060 --> 00:06:08,060
One skeleton was 8.5 feet tall and was later described as being wrapped in a gum-covered fabric not unlike Egyptian mummies.

40
00:06:08,060 --> 00:06:11,060
The other was almost 10 feet tall.

41
00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:18,060
It was said that all the tribes of the area stood together against these giants and chased them into a cave.

42
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:26,060
The giants refused to leave the safety of the cave, so the Paiutes, along with other tribes, set the cave on fire.

43
00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:31,060
The cave then collapsed during an earthquake, sealing the entrance shut.

44
00:06:31,060 --> 00:06:38,060
When the area was mined for fertilizing materials, there were several fossils discovered in the early 1920s.

45
00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:45,060
Along with those fossils were the well-preserved human-like skeletons, one male and one female.

46
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:51,060
The female was over 6 feet tall, and the male was over 8 feet tall.

47
00:06:51,060 --> 00:07:02,060
Along with the discovery of the skeletons, there were many other artifacts found, including a circular calendar that had the number of days and weeks of a year etched into it.

48
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:10,060
In 1931, two more skeletons were discovered in Lockport, Nevada that measured from 8 to 10 feet tall.

49
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:35,060
During the past few years, a huge controversy has emerged accusing the Smithsonian and a host of skeptics and archaeologists of covering up the discovery of hundreds of giant skeletons from Native American Indian mounds.

50
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:42,060
Jim Variera is one of the key people who began uncovering hundreds of newspaper accounts of giant skeletons.

51
00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:54,060
To date, Variera has pulled together about 1,500 accounts from newspapers and books published in the 1800s and early 1900s.

52
00:07:54,060 --> 00:08:05,060
One intriguing set of giant skeleton reports he found factual was the Arkansas Chickaslava Mound reports of many large skeletons found at the site.

53
00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:10,060
Many skeletons ranging from 8 to 9 feet in length had been found there.

54
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:16,060
As late as 1976, a 7 foot tall skeleton was found at the site.

55
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:23,060
For the Smithsonian to have found skeletons that were 7 feet tall by chance alone is improbable.

56
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:34,060
The height of many of the individuals entombed in ancient American mounds was far taller than the general populace, far beyond what could be explained by simple chance.

57
00:08:34,060 --> 00:08:38,060
Why would the Smithsonian cover up such a find?

58
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:49,060
Skeptics have related that the disorder of giantism probably was the cause of many reports, but they actually cite no evidence for this assertion.

59
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:54,060
It is a weak attempt to explain away and dismiss the issue.

60
00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:57,060
Giantism is exceedingly rare.

61
00:08:57,060 --> 00:09:01,060
So rare there is no actual evidential statistics for it.

62
00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:08,060
In fact, America has less than 100 cases of giantism recorded in its history.

63
00:09:08,060 --> 00:09:19,060
In fact, the overwhelming vast majority of tall people today whose reaching or approaching 7 feet do not have the disorder of giantism.

64
00:09:19,060 --> 00:09:27,060
The actual percentage of modern humans who reach 7 feet in height is .00007%.

65
00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:38,060
In the ancient world of America's mound builders, the percentage of the population that reached 7 feet in height would have been much lower.

66
00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:44,060
Skeptics claim that freezing and thawing make skeletons so big they might look like a giant.

67
00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:47,060
It was found to be completely wrong and baseless.

68
00:09:47,060 --> 00:09:58,060
Modern paleopathology texts and sources relate that buried bones that freeze can shatter, and most buried bones actually lose mass.

69
00:09:58,060 --> 00:09:59,060
They get smaller.

70
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:09,060
There are also a host of Native American legends that were reported to ethnologists detailing a race of giants who invaded the regions where mounds were found.

71
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:13,060
These giants became the leaders and priests of the tribes.

72
00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:20,060
Over time, these ruling people, chosen through heredity, became corrupted and were exterminated.

73
00:10:20,060 --> 00:10:27,060
You may be surprised at the number of giant skeletons that have been uncovered throughout modern history.

74
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:33,060
There is a number of discoveries that didn't make it to mainstream historical knowledge.

75
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:41,060
Large bones and stone graves in Williamson County and White County, Tennessee, were discovered in the 1800s.

76
00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:45,060
The average stature of these giants was 7 feet tall.

77
00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:52,060
Giant skeletons were found in the mid-1800s in New York State near Rutland and Rodman.

78
00:10:52,060 --> 00:11:01,060
In 1833, soldiers digging at Lompoc Ranchero, California, discovered a male skeleton 12 feet tall.

79
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:07,060
The skeleton was surrounded by caved shells, stone axes, and other artifacts.

80
00:11:07,060 --> 00:11:11,060
The skeleton had double rows of upper and lower teeth.

81
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:18,060
Unfortunately, this body was secretly buried because the local Indians became upset about the remains.

82
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:23,060
A giant skull and vertebrae were found in Wisconsin and Kansas City as well.

83
00:11:23,060 --> 00:11:34,060
A giant found off the California coast on Santa Rosa Island in the 1800s was distinguished by its double row of teeth, common among giant skeleton finds.

84
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:42,060
A 9-foot, 8-inch skeleton was excavated from a mound near Brewersville, Indiana in 1879.

85
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:51,060
Skeletons said to be of enormous dimensions were found in mounds near Zanesville, Ohio and Warren, Minnesota in the 1800s.

86
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:56,060
In Clearwater, Minnesota, the skeletons of seven giants were found in mounds.

87
00:11:56,060 --> 00:12:02,060
These had receding foreheads and complete double dentation, two rows of teeth.

88
00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:07,060
At La Crescent, Minnesota, mounds were found to contain giant bones.

89
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:13,060
Five miles north, in Dreschbach, the bones of people over eight feet tall were found.

90
00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:42,060
In 1888, seven skeletons ranging from seven to eight feet tall were found in mounds.

91
00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:53,060
Though they may seem like a lot, near Toledo, Ohio, twenty skeletons were discovered with jaws and teeth twice as large as those of present day people.

92
00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:58,060
The account also noted that odd hieroglyphics were found with the bodies.

93
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:05,060
The aforementioned miners in Lovelock Cave, California discovered a very tall red-haired mummy in 1911.

94
00:13:05,060 --> 00:13:12,060
A local native has a dress made from the hair of one of the giants from this area.

95
00:13:12,060 --> 00:13:20,060
In 1931, skeletons from eight and a half to ten feet long were found in the Humboldt Lakebed in California.

96
00:13:20,060 --> 00:13:27,060
And in 1932, Ellis Wright found human tracks in the Gypsum Rock at White Sands, New Mexico.

97
00:13:27,060 --> 00:13:42,060
His discovery was later backed up by Fred Arthur, supervisor of the Lincoln National Park, and others who reported that each footprint was 22 inches long and from eight to ten inches wide.

98
00:13:42,060 --> 00:13:51,060
They were certain the prints were human in origin due to the outline of the perfect prints coupled with a readily apparent instep.

99
00:13:51,060 --> 00:14:03,060
During World War II, author Ivan T. Sanderson tells of how his crew was bulldozing through sedimentary rock when it stumbled across what appeared to be a graveyard.

100
00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:13,060
In it were crania that measured from 22 to 24 inches, from base to crown, nearly three times as large as an adult human skull.

101
00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:25,060
Had the creatures to whom these skulls belonged been properly proportioned, they undoubtedly would have been at least twelve feet tall or taller.

102
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:34,060
In 1947, a local newspaper reported the discovery of nine-foot-tall skeletons by amateur archaeologists working in Death Valley.

103
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:45,060
The archaeologists involved also claimed to have found what appeared to be the bones of tigers and dinosaurs with the human remains.

104
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:53,060
And the Catalina Islands off California are the home of dwarf mammoth bones that were once roasted in ancient pit fires.

105
00:14:53,060 --> 00:15:00,060
These were roasted and eaten by human-like creatures who were giants with double rows of teeth.

106
00:15:04,060 --> 00:15:29,060
One fact that continues to surface in the discovery of giants is the reports of skulls having more than one row of teeth.

107
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:38,060
According to a study on molecular genetics of supernumerary tooth formation, the cause of extra rows of teeth is genetic.

108
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:48,060
Despite advances in the knowledge of tooth morphogenesis and differentiation, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying supernumerary tooth formation.

109
00:15:48,060 --> 00:16:05,060
A small number of supernumerary teeth may be a common developmental dental anomaly, while multiple supernumerary teeth usually have a genetic component and they are sometimes thought to represent a partial third dentation in humans.

110
00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:18,060
Mice, which are commonly used for studying tooth development, only exhibit one dentation, with very few mouse models exhibiting supernumerary teeth similar to those in humans.

111
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:32,060
Activation of APC or forced activation WNT canton signal results in multiple supernumerary tooth formation in both humans and in mice, but the key genes in these pathways are not very clear.

112
00:16:32,060 --> 00:16:53,060
An analysis of other model systems with continuous tooth replacement or secondary tooth formation such as fish, snake, lizard and ferret is providing insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying successional tooth development and should assist in studies on supernumerary tooth formation in humans.

113
00:16:53,060 --> 00:17:05,060
But scientists say this information, together with the advances in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, will pave ways for the tooth regeneration and tooth bioengineering.

114
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:16,060
Though having two rows of teeth is not uncommon, the specific genetics of giants would probably be a specific trait to this line of human development.

115
00:17:16,060 --> 00:17:25,060
Along with the reports of double rows of teeth, extra digits in the hands and feet are sometimes reported.

116
00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:31,060
Along the Illinois River in a cave, a priest claimed he found prints in rock.

117
00:17:31,060 --> 00:17:37,060
The larger representation of the human foot was 14 inches and had six toes instead of five.

118
00:17:37,060 --> 00:17:49,060
Morris' universal geography according to the priest gives this account of a number of tracks or foot impressions found in rocks in the mountains of Tennessee.

119
00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:58,060
Along these were a number of tracks representing human feet and they uniformly had six toes on each foot.

120
00:17:58,060 --> 00:18:19,060
Scientists are stubbornly silent about lost races of giants, such as those found in burial mounds near Lake Devlin, Wisconsin, in May of 1970.

121
00:18:19,060 --> 00:18:41,060
The dig site at Lake Devlin was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds that proved to be classic examples of 8th century woodland culture.

122
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:53,060
But the enormous size of the skeletons and elongated skulls found in May of 1912 did not fit very neatly into anyone's concept of a textbook standard.

123
00:18:53,060 --> 00:18:57,060
They were enormous. They were not average human beings.

124
00:18:57,060 --> 00:19:12,060
First reported on the 4th of May 1912 issue of the New York Times, the 18 skeletons found by the Peterson brothers on Lake Lawn Farm in southwest Wisconsin exhibited several strange and freakish features.

125
00:19:12,060 --> 00:19:23,060
Their heights ranged from 7.6 feet and 10 feet and their skulls, presumably those of men, were much larger than the heads of any race which inhabit America today.

126
00:19:23,060 --> 00:19:30,060
They tend to have a double row of teeth, six fingers, six toes, and like humans, came in different races.

127
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:40,060
The teeth in the front of the jaw were regular molars. Heads, usually found, were elongated and believed due to a longer than normal lifespan.

128
00:19:40,060 --> 00:19:51,060
The Lake Devlin find of May 1912 was only one of dozens of several finds that were reported in local newspapers from 1851 forward to the present day.

129
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:56,060
It was not even the first set of giant skeletons found in Wisconsin.

130
00:19:56,060 --> 00:20:09,060
On the 10th of August of 1891, the New York Times reported that scientists from the Smithsonian Institute had discovered several large pyramidal monuments on Lake Mills near Madison, Wisconsin.

131
00:20:09,060 --> 00:20:16,060
Madison was, in ancient days, the center of a teeming population of over 200,000.

132
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:23,060
The excavators found an elaborate system of defensive works, which they named Fort Aztelan.

133
00:20:23,060 --> 00:20:46,060
The New York Times says the celebrated mounds of Ohio and Indiana can bear no comparison, either in size, design, or the skill displayed in their construction with these gigantic and mysterious monuments of Earth, erected we know not by whom and for what purpose we can only conjecture.

134
00:20:46,060 --> 00:21:05,060
On the 20th of December 1897, the Times followed up with a report on three large burial mounds that had been discovered in Maple Creek, Wisconsin. One had recently been opened.

135
00:21:05,060 --> 00:21:24,060
In it was found the skeleton of a man of gigantic size. The bones measured from head to foot over nine feet and were in a fair state of preservation. The skull was as large as a half bushel measure. Some finely tempered rods of copper and other relics were lying near the bones.

136
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:53,060
Giant skulls and skeletons of a race of giants have been found on a very regular basis throughout the Midwestern states for more than 100 years.

137
00:21:53,060 --> 00:22:08,060
Giants have been found in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and New York, and their burial sites are similar to the well-known mounds of the Mound Builder people.

138
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:20,060
The spectrum of Mound Builder history spans a period of more than 5,000 years, a period greater than the history of ancient Egypt and all of its dynasties.

139
00:22:20,060 --> 00:22:29,060
Most scientists believe that we have an adequate historical understanding of the peoples who lived in North America during this period.

140
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:35,060
However, the long record of anomalous finds like those at Lake Delavan suggest otherwise.

141
00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:54,060
The January 13, 1870 edition of the Wisconsin Decatur Republican reported that two giant well-preserved skeletons of an unknown race were discovered near Pottsy, Wisconsin, by workers digging the foundation of a sawmill near the bank of the Mississippi River.

142
00:22:54,060 --> 00:23:13,060
One skeleton measured seven and a half feet, the other eight feet. The skulls of each had prominent cheekbones and double rows of teeth. A large collection of arrowheads and strange toys were found buried near the remains.

143
00:23:13,060 --> 00:23:23,060
The normal-sized skeleton of a supposed Mound Builder is on display at the site of several large pyramidal monuments near Madison called Astillon State Park.

144
00:23:23,060 --> 00:23:32,060
The Goliath remains of Wisconsin's giants have vanished along with the hundreds of other discoveries throughout the Midwest.

145
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:39,060
Why? Is there some conspiracy to hide these giant artifacts from the public?

146
00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:47,060
Giant skeleton finds have not made the local or national news much since the 1950s for the most part.

147
00:23:47,060 --> 00:23:54,060
It seems the opinion is that they fear that people would question evolution.

148
00:24:17,060 --> 00:24:32,060
During the time of these discoveries, the Smithsonian was taking possession of nearly every giant skeleton found throughout the entire country, including the largest discovery of skeletons found in the Great Mound in Ohio.

149
00:24:32,060 --> 00:24:53,060
What the intent of the institution was for the giant skeletons has never been discovered, but several investigators today believe the Smithsonian was founded, at least in part, to take the skeletons and hide or destroy them, dumping some by the barge full in the Atlantic Ocean.

150
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:54,060
Why?

151
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:55,060
Why, one might ask.

152
00:24:55,060 --> 00:25:03,060
Some believe it was to hide the true history of the Earth, as giant skeletons were being discovered throughout the world in the late 1800s.

153
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:07,060
And some believe it was to back up Darwin's theory of evolution.

154
00:25:07,060 --> 00:25:16,060
If such entities lived on Earth thousands of years ago, then Darwin's theory would be automatically called into question.

155
00:25:16,060 --> 00:25:31,060
Never included in history books is the fact that every Native American tribe in America tells the same tale of having to fight and kill the giants because they were man-eaters and were decimating the native tribes.

156
00:25:31,060 --> 00:25:45,060
Perhaps because the giants were so large, the tribes mounded dirt to bury them instead of digging graves, which would explain the hundreds if not thousands of mound burial sites throughout America.

157
00:25:45,060 --> 00:25:52,060
Giant skeletal remains have been found from Brooklyn, New York to the Channel Islands off the coast of California.

158
00:25:52,060 --> 00:26:05,060
Most of the remains are mass burials with signs of violent death, as if a huge battle had been fought, then won, and the massacred buried deep in mounds to contain them.

159
00:26:05,060 --> 00:26:22,060
Most, if not all, of American history textbooks never mention Cahoke, America's greatest city for its time, a very large Indian trading city, 3.5 miles in size, on the site of where St. Louis now stands.

160
00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:31,060
It was built about the same time of the Mayan culture and was surrounded by 120 pyramids and farmland.

161
00:26:31,060 --> 00:26:39,060
At its zenith, the city had 15,000 inhabitants, which compared to Paris population-wise at the time.

162
00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:47,060
The city existed at the same time of the mound builders, and it is surmised that they were the ones who built Cahoke.

163
00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:52,060
But the mystery remains, who were the mound builders?

164
00:26:52,060 --> 00:26:58,060
In 1170, a mysterious fire destroyed the city when it was rebuilt.

165
00:26:58,060 --> 00:27:03,060
Defense walls were built, and new buildings, which were all smaller and fortified.

166
00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:08,060
The city was never populated or as powerful following that fire.

167
00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:16,060
No one knows how the fire started, but the homes that burned were built with thatched roofs and were easily destroyed.

168
00:27:16,060 --> 00:27:23,060
Archaeologists have surmised that rebels burned the town and instituted a sun imagery that was used thereafter.

169
00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:30,060
But if you put the pieces of this puzzle together, you might come up with an entirely different history.

170
00:27:30,060 --> 00:27:44,060
Considering the tales of modern Native Americans whose cultures related stories of the giants, you can imagine that they were the ones who burned Cahoke to destroy the giants within the city.

171
00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:54,060
When they rebuilt, the victorious Native Americans put up defenses and built much smaller homes to live in because they were not giants like their predecessors.

172
00:27:54,060 --> 00:28:04,060
The homes they built were more regulated in size and did not reflect the wealth and stature that the previous larger homes of the giants displayed.

173
00:28:24,060 --> 00:28:38,060
David Cusick, a Tuscarora Indian, wrote in 1825 about a giant tribe called the Ronawakadwa in the Ohio Valley.

174
00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:43,060
In his account, he wrote that other smaller tribes grew tired of the giants attacking them.

175
00:28:43,060 --> 00:28:49,060
So with a force of 800 warriors, they killed all the Ronawakadwa people.

176
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:52,060
After that, there were no more giants anywhere.

177
00:28:52,060 --> 00:29:01,060
Cusick wrote that this happened 2,500 years before Columbus discovered America, about 1000 BC.

178
00:29:01,060 --> 00:29:11,060
The thousand giants who were massacred were laid together in heaps and covered with dirt, which again could explain the mound building prevalent in the Ohio Valley.

179
00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:21,060
One amazing fact withheld from history books is that virtually every explorer who came to the New World encountered giants.

180
00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:30,060
America, America Vespusa, Magellan, Coronado, De Soto, and Sir Francis Drake all claimed giant encounters.

181
00:29:30,060 --> 00:29:44,060
Historically supported by these eyewitness accounts of some of the world's most esteemed explorers of the time, these stories were also chronicled by the Spanish and other lesser known explorers.

182
00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:55,060
Stories of giants that occupied Europe comes from the Middle Ages and involves a surprising figure, Saint Christopher.

183
00:29:55,060 --> 00:30:07,060
While modern stories of Saint Christopher simply make him out as an ordinary man or perhaps a somewhat homely man, those who actually saw him had a different story.

184
00:30:07,060 --> 00:30:14,060
According to his peers, he was a giant belonging to a tribe of dog-headed cannibalistic giants.

185
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:25,060
Jacques Devonais, in the Golden Legend, wrote of Saint Christopher, he was of gigantic stature, had a terrifying meaning, and was 12 cooties tall.

186
00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:32,060
A cootie is an ancient measurement equal to or larger than the English linear measurement of a foot.

187
00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:42,060
According to his ancient account, Saint Christopher stood from 12 to 18 feet tall, a fact that had been hidden in or even erased from church history.

188
00:30:42,060 --> 00:31:03,060
In humans, giantism is usually caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland of the brain.

189
00:31:03,060 --> 00:31:06,060
It causes growth of the hands, face, and feet.

190
00:31:06,060 --> 00:31:12,060
In some cases, the condition can be passed on genetically through a mutated gene.

191
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:21,060
Many of those who have been identified with giantism have suffered from multiple health issues involving their circulatory or skeletal system.

192
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:27,060
Hypersecretion of growth hormones causes giantism in children and adults.

193
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:33,060
Reports of giantism exist throughout history, with some nations and tribes taller than others.

194
00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:45,060
The giants of Crete are listed in various historical sources, beginning with Titan, a Greek mythological giant, and including Giantus, after whom giants and giantism are named.

195
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:54,060
Rhodes is another island where giants were said to have lived, with the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of a giant, patron god Helios.

196
00:31:54,060 --> 00:32:04,060
Goliath, a giant mentioned in the Bible, was a Philistine warrior who was slain by David in a battle between the Israelites and Philistines.

197
00:32:04,060 --> 00:32:11,060
A member of Goliath's family is also recorded as having six fingers on each hand and six toes on each feet.

198
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:25,060
The Nephilim, who are generally accepted to be giants, were the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men before the deluge, according to Genesis.

199
00:32:25,060 --> 00:32:34,060
The name is also used in reference to giants who inhabited Khan at the time of the Israelite conquest of Khan, according to Numbers.

200
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:42,060
A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel sounds is used in Ezekiel to refer to dead Philistine warriors.

201
00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:53,060
Cotton Mather believed that fossilized leg bones and teeth discovered near Albany, New York in 1705 were the remains of Nephilim, who perished in a great flood.

202
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:57,060
However, paleontologists claim these are mastodon remains.

203
00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:19,060
Is it possible that ancient monuments found throughout the world were actually built by giants?

204
00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:24,060
Legend tells that Stonehenge may have such origins.

205
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:36,060
According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, the rocks of Stonehenge were healing rocks called the Giant's Dance, which giants had brought from Africa to Ireland for their healing properties.

206
00:33:36,060 --> 00:33:46,060
The 5th century king, the 5th century king, wished to erect a memorial to 3,000 nobles slain in battle against the Saxons and buried at Salisbury.

207
00:33:47,060 --> 00:33:50,060
And at Merlin's advice, chose Stonehenge.

208
00:33:50,060 --> 00:34:01,060
The king sent Merlin, Uther Pendragon, and 15,000 knights to remove it from Ireland, which it had been constructed on Mount Tillerus by the giants.

209
00:34:01,060 --> 00:34:08,060
They slew 7,000 Irish, but as the knights tried to move the rocks with ropes in force, they failed.

210
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:18,060
Then Merlin, using gear and skill, easily dismantled the stones and sent them over to Britain, where Stonehenge was dedicated.

211
00:34:19,060 --> 00:34:24,060
It is said that these kings were buried inside the giants' rings of Stonehenge.

212
00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:30,060
America also has a Stonehenge, dating back over 2,000 years.

213
00:34:31,060 --> 00:34:47,060
America's Stonehenge, sometimes referred to as Mystery Hill, is an archaeological site consisting of a number of large rocks and stone structures scattered around roughly 30 acres within the town of Salem, New Hampshire in the northeast United States.

214
00:34:47,060 --> 00:35:01,060
Carbon dating of charcoal pits at the site provided dates from 2000 B.C. to 173 B.C. when the area was populated by ancestors of current Native Americans.

215
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:11,060
In archaeological chronology, this places indigenous use of the site either into the late archaea or the early woodland time periods.

216
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:15,060
It would have been in use during the time of the giants.

217
00:35:17,060 --> 00:35:22,060
Bones and monuments are not the only evidence suggesting the existence of giants.

218
00:35:23,060 --> 00:35:26,060
Huge footprints have also been discovered.

219
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:35,060
In 1897, the Los Angeles Herald revealed that laborers had discovered a fossil shoe print in solid rock.

220
00:35:36,060 --> 00:35:40,060
The imprint was that of a shoe with a high, narrow hill and a broad, flat sole.

221
00:35:40,060 --> 00:35:50,060
It was so clear in the fine-grained shell in which it was found that it looked as though the owner had unwittingly put his foot right in the soft mud a day or two before.

222
00:35:50,060 --> 00:35:57,060
Sandal or moccasin prints have also been seen in gypsum of the white sands in New Mexico.

223
00:35:58,060 --> 00:36:04,060
Ellis Wright in 1932 found tracks of human form as large as 22 inches long.

224
00:36:04,060 --> 00:36:14,060
The white sands were laid down as an ancient inlet sea gradually dried up around the time of the demise of the dinosaurs.

225
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:27,060
The American anthropologist published an article in February 1896 of a large stone bearing the perfect imprint of a human foot 14 and a half inches long.

226
00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:33,060
It was shown to members of the Ohio State Academy of Science in 1896.

227
00:36:34,060 --> 00:36:42,060
The stone slab had been dug from the ground in a hill four miles north of Parkersburg, West Virginia, some 20 years earlier.

228
00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:56,060
In 1938, Dr. Wilbur Burroughs, head of the geology department at Berea College, Kentucky, announced that he had discovered 10 humanoid footprints and carbon ferrous sandstone on a farm belonging to Mr.

229
00:36:56,060 --> 00:37:00,060
O'Fannell in the hills in the southern part of Rock Castle County.

230
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:05,060
The prints were nine and a half inches long and six inches wide.

231
00:37:06,060 --> 00:37:08,060
The length between footprints was 18 inches.

232
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:11,060
No marks of four feet or a tail were found.

233
00:37:12,060 --> 00:37:20,060
Infrared photography revealed that there were no signs of carving or artificial markings in or around the prints.

234
00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:32,060
A microscopic count of sand grains indicated that the material within the prints had been impacted and created as the result of force pressing down on the firmament while it was soft.

235
00:37:33,060 --> 00:37:43,060
These facts show that the prints were made by the natural result of pressure from the human foot and in no way could have been duplicated by carving.

236
00:37:43,060 --> 00:37:53,060
The rock in which the prints were discovered was estimated to be 250 million years old.

237
00:37:54,060 --> 00:37:57,060
In recent years, the prints have been destroyed by vandals.

238
00:37:57,060 --> 00:38:16,060
Giant tracks seemingly made by a human being were found by a government tracker in the Alcala Flats area of the Great White Sands, New Mexico in 1931.

239
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:28,060
A year later, a party of four, including O'Fred Arthur, supervisor of Lincoln National Forest, set out to investigate the tracks with the government trapper Ellis Wright as their guide.

240
00:38:29,060 --> 00:38:36,060
They found 13 imprints crossing a relic desert basin in the easternmost foothills of the San Andreas Mountains.

241
00:38:36,060 --> 00:38:45,060
Despite the great size of the tracks, the investigators were convinced they were human, for the prints were perfect and even the insteps were plainly marked.

242
00:38:46,060 --> 00:38:58,060
Oval shaped, the prints are 16 to 22 inches long and 8 to 12 inches wide with a distance between strides of about 5 feet and a separation in width of 2 feet.

243
00:38:58,060 --> 00:39:13,060
In 1882, huge footprints strongly resembling those of human wearing shoes were found in a layer of sandstone in the yard of the State Prison near Carson City, Nevada during digging operations.

244
00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:19,060
The prints were between 18 and 20 inches long and approximately 8 inches wide.

245
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:27,060
The stride was about 3 feet and the distance between the left and right tracks, the straddle, was about 19 inches.

246
00:39:27,060 --> 00:39:45,060
Since the size of the prints and the age of the rock at the layer they were discovered, 2 to 3 million years old, argued against a human or even a humanoid origin, the prints were ascribed to a more acceptable origin, the tracks of a giant ground sloth.

247
00:39:46,060 --> 00:39:52,060
It's thought that these animals could stand upright but only by using their tails for additional support.

248
00:39:52,060 --> 00:39:56,060
However, no tail track was found at this site.

249
00:39:57,060 --> 00:40:09,060
It was also suggested that perhaps the animal was walking on 4 feet and that its rear legs were landing exactly in the tracks left by its front feet, thereby creating the impression of a biped.

250
00:40:10,060 --> 00:40:16,060
But this fails to account for the fact that the tracks show no toe marks and appear to be sandals.

251
00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:51,060
What may well be the oldest fossil footprint ever discovered was found in 1968 in the North America,

252
00:40:51,060 --> 00:40:55,060
1968 by William J. Meister, an amateur fossil collector.

253
00:40:56,060 --> 00:41:01,060
If the print is what it appears to be, the impression of a sandaled shoe crushing a trilobite,

254
00:41:02,060 --> 00:41:14,060
it would have had to have been made 300 to 600 million years ago and would be sufficient to either overturn all conventionally accepted ideas of human and geological evolution

255
00:41:14,060 --> 00:41:20,060
or to prove that a shoe wearing biped from another world had once visited this planet.

256
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:30,060
Meister made his potentially disturbing find during a rock and fossil hunting trip to Antelope Spring, 43 miles west of Delta, Utah.

257
00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:38,060
His party had already discovered several fossil trilobites when Meister split open a rock with his hammer and made the outrageous find.

258
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:47,060
The rock fell open like a book revealing on one side the footprint of a human with trilobites right in the footprint itself.

259
00:41:47,060 --> 00:41:53,060
The other half of the slab of the rock showed an almost perfect mold of the footprint in fossils.

260
00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:57,060
Amazingly, the human was wearing a sandal.

261
00:41:58,060 --> 00:42:11,060
Trilobites are small marine invertebrates, the relatives of today's shrimp and crabs that flourished for over 320 million years before becoming extinct 280 million years ago.

262
00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:40,060
If giant footprints are not enough to convince even the most hardened skeptic,

263
00:42:40,060 --> 00:42:45,060
then giant tools and artifacts might not budge their restricted perceptions either.

264
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:47,060
However, consider these.

265
00:42:48,060 --> 00:42:56,060
In June 1936, Max Hahn and his wife Emma were on a walk when they noticed a rock with wood protruding from its core.

266
00:42:57,060 --> 00:43:04,060
They took the rock home and later cracked it open with a hammer and chisel that they found within seemed to be an ancient hammer.

267
00:43:04,060 --> 00:43:13,060
A team of archaeologists checked it and determined the rock encasing the hammer was dated back more than 400 million years.

268
00:43:14,060 --> 00:43:20,060
The hammer itself turned out to be more than 500 million years old, according to the same measurement.

269
00:43:20,060 --> 00:43:27,060
Apparently, it's so old that a section of the handle had begun the transformation to coal.

270
00:43:28,060 --> 00:43:38,060
The hammer's head, made of more than 96% iron, is far more pure than anything nature could have achieved without an assistance from technology.

271
00:43:38,060 --> 00:43:51,060
There have been a number of intriguing finds in Indiana over the years, including the discovery of eight skeletons, one clad in copper armor, buried in a perfect circle.

272
00:43:51,060 --> 00:44:05,060
In 1888, the Logan Grays, a military group led by A.M. Jones, were conducting military exercises on a small island on Eagle Lake near Warsaw, Indiana.

273
00:44:06,060 --> 00:44:16,060
Under a flat stone, they discovered a hole that led to an entrance to a secret cave that was 25 feet long, 15 feet wide, and 8 feet deep.

274
00:44:16,060 --> 00:44:25,060
Inside was the skeleton of a 6 foot 9 inch giant, buried next to a stream that led to what was called a sacred pool.

275
00:44:26,060 --> 00:44:33,060
In 1889, near Kiwanis, standing stones were found on a mound, and underneath, another giant was unearthed.

276
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:41,060
While in Whitlock, Indiana, another giant was found in association with a group buried in a seating position.

277
00:44:46,060 --> 00:45:15,060
One of the largest finds on record was reported in A History of Jennings County, Indiana,

278
00:45:15,060 --> 00:45:17,060
published in 1885.

279
00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:27,060
It was reported that in 1881, a 9 foot tall skeleton was unearthed in a local mound, along with the body of a blond-haired child.

280
00:45:28,060 --> 00:45:39,060
And finally, in 1912, an enormous jaw was dug up that had double rows of teeth, a unique characteristic of some giants discovered in other parts of the country as well.

281
00:45:39,060 --> 00:45:49,060
What is believed to be the largest Indian stone axe in existence is among the collections of the Missouri Historical Society.

282
00:45:49,060 --> 00:45:51,060
The axe is made of granite.

283
00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:52,060
The axe is made of granite.

284
00:45:52,060 --> 00:46:01,060
It measures 28 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 11 inches in thickness, and weighs more than 300 pounds.

285
00:46:01,060 --> 00:46:14,060
When found, the pointed end was embedded in a small mound of boulders and pebbles, with the body and head of the axe exposed, the whole apparently forming a shrine or altar.

286
00:46:14,060 --> 00:46:16,060
The axe resembles a tomahawk pipe.

287
00:46:16,060 --> 00:46:24,060
Its upper end or head is slightly hollowed out, and in this depression was ceremoniously placed a small quantity of tobacco.

288
00:46:25,060 --> 00:46:35,060
A well-beaten moccasin trail led up the incline of the eminence in which the shrine stood, indicating that the place had long been used for religious purposes.

289
00:46:35,060 --> 00:46:47,060
According to Chippewa tradition, the axe has been held in veneration by these Indians from time immemorial.

290
00:46:47,060 --> 00:46:54,060
The Guadalupe Woman is a well-authenticated discovery which has been in the British Museum for over half a century.

291
00:46:54,060 --> 00:47:05,060
In 1812, on the coast of the French Caribbean island of Guadalupe, a fully human skeleton was found, complete in every aspect except for the feet and head.

292
00:47:06,060 --> 00:47:09,060
It belonged to a woman about 5 foot 2 inches tall.

293
00:47:10,060 --> 00:47:23,060
What makes this of great significance is the fact that this skeleton was found inside extremely hard, very old limestone, which was part of a formation more than a mile in length.

294
00:47:23,060 --> 00:47:36,060
Modern geological dating places this formation at 28 million years old, which is 25 million years before modern man is supposed to have first appeared on Earth.

295
00:47:37,060 --> 00:47:47,060
Since such a date for a regular person does not fit evolutionary theory, you will not find Guadalupe Woman mentioned in any hominid textbooks.

296
00:47:47,060 --> 00:47:52,060
To do so would be to disprove evolutionary dating of rock formations.

297
00:47:53,060 --> 00:48:04,060
When the two-ton limestone block containing Guadalupe Woman was first put on exhibit in the British Museum in 1812, it was displayed as proof of the Genesis Flood.

298
00:48:04,060 --> 00:48:10,060
But that was 20 years before Lyell and nearly 50 years before Darwin.

299
00:48:11,060 --> 00:48:18,060
In 1881, the exhibit was quietly taken down to the basement and remains there to this day.

300
00:48:18,060 --> 00:48:37,060
Many giant skeletons have been found in or near Native American mounds and burial places.

301
00:48:38,060 --> 00:48:42,060
Native Americans have many legends regarding giants. Here are just a few.

302
00:48:42,060 --> 00:48:52,060
The Apache have a legend about Big Owl, a malicious and dangerous giant often used as a boogeyman in children's stories.

303
00:48:53,060 --> 00:49:01,060
In some Apache tribes, Big Owl also plays a more important mythological role as an early adversary of the war twins.

304
00:49:01,060 --> 00:49:16,060
Like other legendary Apache beings, Big Owl is sometimes described as having a human form, in this case a man-eating pork, and other times an animal form such as a large horned owl, large enough to carry off a child.

305
00:49:16,060 --> 00:49:23,060
Kiwaka are the evil man-eating ice giants of Southern Wabanaki legends.

306
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:40,060
According to most legends, Kiwaka was once a human being who either became possessed by an evil spirit or committed a terrible crime, especially cannibalism or withholding food from a starving person, causing his heart to turn to ice.

307
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:52,060
In some Abenaki legends, the stone giants were not transformed humans, but primordial man-eating monsters defeated by the cultured hero Klaskabi.

308
00:49:52,060 --> 00:50:04,060
Kaloa is a kind of hairy man-eating org from Creek mythology. Some recent Creek storytellers have translated it to gorilla.

309
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:17,060
The Lofa is a malevolent org-like monster of Chickasaw folklore. His name literally means flayer or skinner, a reference to his gruesome habit of flaying the skin from his victims.

310
00:50:17,060 --> 00:50:32,060
In some legends, he attempts to abduct Chickasaw women. He is sometimes described as a giant, and other times as a large, hairy, smelly man, leading some people to associate him with the Bigfoot legend.

311
00:50:32,060 --> 00:50:47,060
The Lofa is a giant who is the cultured hero of Mohegan and Wampanoag tribes, sometimes referred to as a transformer by folklorists.

312
00:50:47,060 --> 00:50:56,060
Mohegan is strongly associated with whales. In most tribal traditions, he would catch whales to feed the people.

313
00:50:56,060 --> 00:51:03,060
And in some stories, Mohegan and his children eventually transform into whales themselves.

314
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:09,060
Mohegan has a wife named Squanet, who is a powerful medicine woman of the Little People.

315
00:51:09,060 --> 00:51:22,060
The Champagne is a malevolent org-like monster of Chickasaw folklore. In some legends, he attempts to abduct Choctaw women. In others, he is a man-eater.

316
00:51:22,060 --> 00:51:31,060
He is sometimes described as a giant, and other times as a large, hairy man, leading some people to associate him with the Bigfoot legends as well.

317
00:51:31,060 --> 00:51:44,060
His most salient feature is his smell. Champagne's smell is so overpowering that a person cannot bear to be around him, making him difficult to fight.

318
00:51:44,060 --> 00:51:53,060
Stoneclad is a monster from Cherokee folklore. Details about Stoneclad vary from telling to telling.

319
00:51:53,060 --> 00:52:00,060
In some versions, there is only one, while in other versions, there is a whole race of Stoneclads.

320
00:52:00,060 --> 00:52:06,060
He is a stone-skinned giant like the stone coats of the Northern Iroquois tribe.

321
00:52:06,060 --> 00:52:13,060
In all cases, he has rock-like plates of armor that protect him from fire, cold, and weapons.

322
00:52:13,060 --> 00:52:19,060
He is defeated only through sapping his magical power by destroying his talismans.

323
00:52:30,060 --> 00:52:47,060
Of course, many native legends could simply be stories made up to keep children in line.

324
00:52:47,060 --> 00:52:53,060
But most historians will tell you that legends are usually rooted in some truth.

325
00:52:53,060 --> 00:53:00,060
Native Americans who encountered giants would create stories to pass the incidents down in oral tradition.

326
00:53:00,060 --> 00:53:05,060
With the discovery of so many giant skeletons unearthed in the United States,

327
00:53:05,060 --> 00:53:10,060
it would have been impossible for Native Americans to have never encountered them.

328
00:53:10,060 --> 00:53:17,060
There is strong evidence that Native American folklore about giants is true.

329
00:53:17,060 --> 00:53:26,060
Seven-foot-tall skeletons have been found in burial mounds of southeast towns that were home to the ancestors of the Creek Indians.

330
00:53:26,060 --> 00:53:34,060
As European settlers pushed across North America, newspapers printed stories about the discovery of giant skeletons.

331
00:53:34,060 --> 00:53:39,060
Some were described as being normal human beings, but very tall.

332
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:42,060
Others had skulls with more primitive features.

333
00:53:42,060 --> 00:53:51,060
The most credible stories of giant skeletons were concentrated in the Appalachians, Cumberland Plateau, and Ohio Basin.

334
00:53:51,060 --> 00:53:59,060
They were typically found in graves lined with stone slabs, or field stones, known as the Stone Box Grave Culture.

335
00:53:59,060 --> 00:54:08,060
In 1821, seven-foot-tall skeletons in stone-lined sarcophagus were found in a White County, Tennessee burial area.

336
00:54:08,060 --> 00:54:20,060
Legends from Midwest tribes tell of lightly pigmented yellow or red-haired giants living around the Great Lakes or southern Canada.

337
00:54:20,060 --> 00:54:25,060
Occasionally, these giants traveled south into their territories.

338
00:54:25,060 --> 00:54:30,060
While some encounters were benign, others resulted in warfare.

339
00:54:30,060 --> 00:54:41,060
The Cherokees claimed to have killed the last tall white Indians while still living in Kentucky and West Virginia.

340
00:54:41,060 --> 00:54:49,060
Western pioneers sometimes found what they assumed were giant fossilized human skeletons along exposed banks and in caves.

341
00:54:49,060 --> 00:54:53,060
They described these skeletons as much thicker than modern humans.

342
00:54:53,060 --> 00:54:56,060
Some claimed the skulls had double rows of teeth.

343
00:54:56,060 --> 00:55:04,060
Several western tribes tell of past confrontations with lightly pigmented giants with either blonde or red hair.

344
00:55:04,060 --> 00:55:09,060
The Paiutes claimed that the giants were cannibals who hunted Paiutes for food.

345
00:55:09,060 --> 00:55:13,060
They repeatedly attacked the giants until their numbers dwindled.

346
00:55:13,060 --> 00:55:21,060
The surviving giants were cornered in a cave, then either shot with arrows or asphyxiated by setting a fire at the entrance.

347
00:55:21,060 --> 00:55:38,060
In 1754, George Washington was Colonel of the Virginia Colonial Militia.

348
00:55:38,060 --> 00:55:46,060
When hostilities broke out with France, he supervised construction of Fort Luden in Winchester, Virginia.

349
00:55:46,060 --> 00:55:56,060
Laborers digging the fort's foundation uncovered a cemetery of seven-foot skeletons in what appeared to be Native American artifacts.

350
00:55:56,060 --> 00:56:00,060
The skeletons were viewed and reported by Washington.

351
00:56:00,060 --> 00:56:03,060
It is not known what happened to them.

352
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:18,060
This discovery gives credibility to reports of seven-foot-tall skeletons discovered in West Virginia, Kentucky, Southern Ohio and Southern Indiana.

353
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:21,060
Thousands of years ago, giants roamed the West.

354
00:56:21,060 --> 00:56:38,060
Their crude camps and ferocious ways terrorized the early Native settlers that had wandered across the land bridge into the North American continent and traveled south and westward into what later became the West and Great Southwest of the United States.

355
00:56:38,060 --> 00:56:59,060
Tribes still speak of these ancient days when their ancestors fought desperate battles against the marauding, loping giants, some towering twelve feet tall or taller, that roamed the land viciously attacking settlements, brutally carrying off screaming women and wailing children for food.

356
00:56:59,060 --> 00:57:27,060
Tribes

357
00:57:27,060 --> 00:57:30,220
Of all the Indian mounds that exist today,

358
00:57:30,220 --> 00:57:33,440
most have barely been investigated.

359
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,800
The few gigantic skeletons found in some

360
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,960
have been dismissed or suppressed as aberrations.

361
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,760
10 and 12 foot humans do not fit dogmatic theories.

362
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,340
Usually when giant skeletons are found,

363
00:57:48,340 --> 00:57:50,520
they're laughed off as hoaxes.

364
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,300
Unfortunately, orthodox science has too much to lose

365
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:56,640
by investigating the mounds thoroughly.

366
00:57:58,300 --> 00:58:02,600
Archeologists cannot deny that the mound builders are real.

367
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,320
What they deny are the things sometimes discovered

368
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,420
inside the mounds.

369
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:09,740
Over the past century and a half,

370
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:12,580
it's been revealed again and again

371
00:58:12,580 --> 00:58:15,700
that some of the mounds and the small pyramids

372
00:58:15,700 --> 00:58:18,640
are the burial grounds of huge men,

373
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,840
often eight feet or taller,

374
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,500
that had a very sophisticated culture.

375
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:26,840
Some of the giants have been found wearing

376
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:31,340
intricate leather armor and have been buried with swords.

377
00:58:31,340 --> 00:58:34,380
One such giant was found near Spiro Mound

378
00:58:34,380 --> 00:58:36,980
in Oklahoma during the 1930s.

379
00:58:48,420 --> 00:58:51,300
Who were these mysterious people that roamed America,

380
00:58:51,300 --> 00:58:55,340
long before the woolly mammoths became extinct?

381
00:58:55,340 --> 00:58:59,460
Were they our ancestors or another race of giant humans

382
00:58:59,460 --> 00:59:02,380
from a civilization that predates our own?

383
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,800
From the time settlers first set foot on American soil,

384
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,540
we have been finding evidence of giants.

385
00:59:11,540 --> 00:59:15,420
Most of this evidence has been destroyed or sequestered away

386
00:59:15,420 --> 00:59:17,460
in order to either hide the truth,

387
00:59:17,460 --> 00:59:22,460
or make it difficult to quantify artifacts and harder to study.

388
00:59:24,460 --> 00:59:28,500
There does appear to be a conspiracy to shelter evidence of giants,

389
00:59:28,500 --> 00:59:36,460
and it has been going on since science has been aware of the bones and materials associated with these anomalies.

390
00:59:36,460 --> 00:59:43,500
Our whole history would change if all the evidence of giants could be revealed.

391
00:59:43,500 --> 00:59:52,500
Perhaps our civilization is not yet ready to accept the existence of those lofty beings that roamed the earth centuries ago.

392
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:56,540
Or perhaps others have made that decision for us,

393
00:59:56,540 --> 01:00:02,540
and we are left with only scant remnants of a civilization larger than life.

394
01:00:02,540 --> 01:00:08,540
Eventually, more evidence and artifacts will be discovered.

395
01:00:08,540 --> 01:00:14,540
Perhaps then we'll have a more complete picture of our gigantic history.

396
01:00:14,540 --> 01:00:18,660
