- Legends
throughout the world

have spoken of a race of giants
that once walked the Earth.

The Holy Bible speaks
about the offspring

of the sons of God and
the daughters of man.

It is believed by some that
these were the Nephilim,

theorized to be
gigantic in nature.

Arguments have risen in
the theological community

for centuries, as to
what the Nephilim were.

Or if they were indeed
the giants that seem
to be described.

However, what cannot be argued

is that Judeo-Christian
doctrines are not the only ones

to speak of a giant
human species.

Who were these giants that
once roamed the Earth?

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.

Most of these legends speak
of powerful gods and goddesses

that were larger than life.

History has relegated
these legends

to the myth status
and they are not seen

as actual historical accounts.

However, it is noteworthy
that there were many

of these legends all over
the world at one point.

How did so many
different cultures,

who had nothing to
do with each other,

end up with sImilar
stories of giants?

And is there evidence of
the existence of giants

available today?

The legends of giants in
Mediterranean countries

were probably the most
widely known and discussed.

Beyond the biblical accounts,
such as David and Goliath,

there are the accounts of the
Babylonian king Gilgamesh.

In stone tablets that
have been recovered,

there are images carved of
Gilgamesh taking on a lion.

And looking at the scale
of the ancient carvings,

it appears this man had
to have been at least

12 to 15 feet tall,
taking into consideration

the size of the lion he is
portrayed to have slain.

Gilgamesh lived sometime
between 2800 and 2500 B.C.

He is the main character
in the "Epic of Gilgamesh",

a Mesopotamian poem
that is considered

the first great
work of literature.

In the epic,
Gilgamesh is a demigod

of super human strength,
who built the city walls

of Uruk to defend his people
and survive the great deluge.

According to the
Sumerian king list,

Gilgamesh ruled his
city for 126 years.

Fragments of an epic
text found in Me-Turan,

the modern Tell Haddad,
relate that at end of his life

Gilgamesh was buried
under the riverbed.

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.

If Gilgamesh was
a historical king,

he probably reigned in
about the 26th century B.C.

Where did Gilgamesh come from?

In the Qumran Scroll, known
as the Book of Giants,

the names of
Gilgamesh and Humbaba

appear as two of the
antediluvian giants.

Could Gilgamesh have
come from Atlantis

or be a direct descendant
of antediluvian kings?

If giants existed in the
past, where is the evidence?

You may be surprised
to find that it's been

and is being discovered
all over the world.

Skeletal remains of giants
have been discovered

throughout American history
and even further back.

According to Native American
Paiute oral history,

the Si-Te-Cah 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.

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.

The Paiute tradition asserts
that the Si-Te-Cah people

practiced cannibalism,
and this may have had

some basis in fact.

During the 1924
excavation of the cave,

a series of three human
bones were found near

the surface towards
the mouth of the cave.

These had been split
to extract the marrow,

as animal bones were split and
probably indicate cannibalism

during a famine.

As reported in the "Nevada
Review Miner" newspaper

on June 19th, 1931, in
February and June of 1931

two very large
skeletons were found

in the Humboldt dry
lakebed near Lovelock.

One skeleton was 8.5 feet
tall and was later described

as being wrapped in
a gum-covered fabric

not unlike Egyptian mummies.

The other was almost 10 feet.

It was said that all
the tribes of the area

stood together
against these giants

and chased them into a cave.

The giants refused to leave
the safety of the cave,

so the Paiutes, along
with other tribes,

set the cave on fire.

The cave then collapsed
during an earthquake

sealing the entrance shut.

When the area was mined
for fertilizing materials,

there were several fossils
discovered in the early 1920s.

Along with those fossils
were the well preserved

human-like skeletons,
one male and one female.

The female was
over six feet tall

and the male was
over eight feet tall.

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.

In 1931, two more
skeletons were discovered

in Lockport, Nevada
that measured

from eight to ten feet tall.

During the past few
years, a huge controversy

has emerged accusing
the Smithsonian

and a host of skeptics
and archeologists

of covering up the discovery
of hundreds of giant skeletons

from Native American
Indian mounds.

Jim Ferreira is one of
the key people who began

uncovering hundreds
of newspaper accounts

of giant skeletons.

Today, Ferreira has pulled
together about 1,500 accounts

from newspapers and books
published in the 1800s

and early 1900s.

One intriguing set of
giant skeleton reports

he found factual,

was the Arkansas
Chickasawba Mound reports

of many large skeletons
found at the site.

Many skeletons ranging from
eight to nine feet in length

had been found there.

As late as 1976, a
seven foot tall skeleton

was found at the site.

For the Smithsonian to
have found skeletons

that were seven feet tall by
chance alone is improbable.

The height of many of
the individuals entombed

in ancient American
mounds was far taller

than the general populous.

Far beyond what could
explained by simple chance.

Why would the Smithsonian
cover up such a find?

Skeptics have related that
the disorder of gigantism

probably was the
cause of many report.

But they actually cite no
evidence for this assertion.

It is a weak attempt to explain
away and dismiss the issue.

Gigantism is exceedingly rare,

so rare there is no actual
evidential statistics for it.

America has less than 100
cases of gigantism recorded

in its history.

In fact, the overwhelming
vast majority

of tall people today,

whose reaching or
approaching seven feet,

do not have the
disorder of gigantism.

The actual percentage
of modern humans

who reach seven feet
in height is 0.00007%.

In the ancient world of
America's mound builders,

the percentage of the population
that reached seven feet

in height would have
been much lower.

Skeptics claim that
freezing and thawing

makes skeletons so big they
might look like a giant.

It was found to be completely
wrong and baseless.

Modern paleopathology
texts and sources

relate that buried bones
that freeze can shatter

and most buried bones
actually lose mass,

they get smaller.

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.

These giants became the leaders
and priests of the tribes.

Over time these ruling people,
chosen through heredity,

became corrupted and
were exterminated.

You may be surprised at the
number of giant skeletons

that have been uncovered
throughout modern history.

There is a number of
discoveries that didn't make it

to mainstream
historical knowledge.

Large bones in stone
graves in Williamson County

and White County, Tennessee,
were discovered in the 1800s.

The average stature of these
giants was seven feet tall.

Giant skeletons were
found in the mid-1800s

in New York state, near
Rutland and Rodman.

In 1833, soldiers digging at
Lompock Rancho, California

discovered a male
skeleton 12 feet tall.

The skeleton was
surrounded by caved shells,

stone axes and other artifacts.

The skeleton had double rows
of upper and lower teeth.

Unfortunately this body
was secretly buried

because the local Indians
became upset about the remains.

A giant skull and vertebrae
were found in Wisconsin

and Kansas City as well.

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.

A nine foot, eight inch
skeleton was excavated

from a mound near
Brewersville, Indiana in 1879.

Skeletons said to be
of enormous dimensions

were found in mounds
near Zanesville, Ohio

and Warren, Minnesota
in the 1800s.

In Clearwater, Minnesota,
the skeletons of seven giants

were found in mounds.

These had receding foreheads
and complete double dentition,

two rows of teeth.

At La Crescent, Minnesota
mounds were found

to contain giant bones.

Five miles north in
Dreshbach, the bones of people

over eight feet tall were found.

In 1888, seven skeletons
ranging from seven to eight

feet tall were discovered.

Though they may seem like a lot,

near Toledo, Ohio, 20
skeletons were discovered

with jaws and teeth
twice as large as those

of present day people.

The account also noted
that odd hieroglyphics

were found with the bodies.

The aforementioned miners in
Lovelock Cave, California,

discovered a very tall,
red haired mummy in 1911.

A local native has a
dress made from the hair

of one of the giants
from this area.

In 1931, skeletons from eight
and half to ten feet long

were found in the Humbolt
lake bed in California.

And in 1932, Ellis
Wright found human tracks

in the gypsum rock at
White Sands, New Mexico.

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 10 inches wide.

They were certain the
prints were human in origin

due to the outline of the
perfect prints coupled

with a readily apparent instep.

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.

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.

Had the creatures to whom
these skulls belonged

been properly proportioned,

they undoubtedly would have been

at least 12 feet tall or taller.

In 1947, a local
newspaper reported

the discovery of nine
foot tall skeletons

by amateur archeologists
working in Death Valley.

The archeologists
involved also claimed

to have found what
appeared to be the bones

of tigers and dinosaurs
with the human remains.

And the Catalina
Islands off California

are the home of
dwarf mammoth bones

that were once roasted
in ancient pit fires.

These were roasted and eaten
by human-like creatures

who were giants with
double rows of teeth.

One fact that
continues to surface

in the discovery of giants
is the reports of skulls

having more than
one row of teeth.

According to a study
on molecular genetics

of supernumerary
tooth formation,

the cause of extra rows
of teeth is genetic.

Despite advances
in the knowledge

of tooth morphogenesis
and differentiation

relatively little is known
about the molecular mechanisms

underlying supernumerary
tooth formation.

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 dentition in humans.

Mice, which are commonly
used for studying

tooth development, only
exhibit one dentition,

with very few mouse
models exhibiting

supernumerary teeth
similar to those in humans.

Activation of APC or forced
activation of WNT canenin signal

results in multiple
supernumerary tooth formation

in both humans and in mice,

but the key genes in these
pathways are not very clear.

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 the studies

on supernumerary tooth
formation in humans.

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.

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.

Along with the reports
of double rows of teeth,

extra digits in the hands and
feet are sometimes reported.

Along the Illinois
River in a cave,

a priest claimed he
found prints in rock.

The larger representation of
the human foot was 14 inches

and had six toes
instead of five.

Morse's "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.

Along these were
a number of tracks

representing human
feet and they uniformly

had six toes on each foot.

Scientists are stubbornly silent
about lost races of giants,

such as those found
in burial mounds

near Lake Delavan,
Wisconsin in May of 1912.

The dig site at Lake
Delavan was overseen

by Beloit College and
it included more than

200 effigy mounds that
proved to be classic examples

of 8th century Woodland culture.

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.

They were enormous.

They were not
average human beings.

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.

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.

They tend to have a
double row of teeth,

six fingers, six
toes and like humans

came in different races.

The teeth in the front of
the jaw were regular molars.

Heads usually found were
elongated and believed

due to a longer than
normal life span.

The Lake Delavan
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.

It was not even the first
set of giant skeletons found

in Wisconsin.

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.

Madison was, in ancient days,

the center of a teeming
population of over 200,000.

The excavators found
an elaborate system

of a defensive works, which
they named Fort Aztalan.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most scientists believe
that we have an adequate

historical understanding
of the peoples

who lived in North America
during this period.

However, the long record
of anomalous finds

like those at Lake
Delavan suggest otherwise.

The January 13th, 1870 edition

of the "Wisconsin Decatur
Republican" reported

that two giant well
preserved skeletons

of an unknown race
were discovered near
Potosi, Wisconsin

by workers digging the
foundation of a saw mill

near the bank of the
Mississippi River.

One skeleton measured
seven and a half feet,

the other eight feet.

The skulls of each had
prominent cheek bones

and double rows of teeth.

A large collection of arrowheads

and strange toys were found
buried near the remains.

While a normal size skeleton
of a supposed Mound Builder

is on display at the
site of several large

pyramidal monuments
near Madison, called
Aztalan State Park.

The goliath remains
of Wisconsin's giants

have vanished along
with the hundreds

of other discoveries
throughout the Midwest.

Why?

Is there some conspiracy to
hide these giant artifacts

from the public?

Giant skeleton
finds have not made

the local or national
news much since the 1950s,

for the most part.

It seems the opinion
is that they fear

that people would
question evolution.

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.

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.

Why one might ask?

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.

And some believe it was

to backup Darwin's
theory of evolution.

If such entities lived on
Earth, thousands of years ago,

then Darwin's theory
would be automatically

called into question.

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 maneaters

and were decimating
the native tribes.

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.

Giant skeletal remains
have been found

from Brooklyn, New York
to the Channel Islands

off the coast of California.

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 the mounds

to contain them.

Most if not all of
American history textbooks

never mention Cahokia, 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.

It was built about the same
time of the Mayan culture

and was surrounded by 120
pyramids and farmland.

At its zenith, the city
had 15,000 inhabitants,

which compared to Paris
population wise at the time.

The city existed at the same
time of the Mound Builders

and it is surmised
that they were the ones

who built Cahokia.

But the mystery remains,
who were the Mound Builders?

In 1170, a mysterious
fire destroyed the city

when it was rebuilt.

Defense walls were
built and new buildings,

which were all
smaller and fortified.

The city was never
populated or as powerful

following that fire.

No one knows how
the fire started,

but the homes that burned
were built with thatched roofs

and were easily destroyed.

Archaeologists have
surmised that rebels

burned the town and
instituted a sun imagery

that was used thereafter.

But if you put the pieces
of this puzzle together,

you might come up with an
entirely different history.

Considering the tales of
modern Native Americans,

whose cultures related
stories of the giants,

you can imagine that
they were the ones

who burned Cahokia to destroy
the giants within the city.

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.

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.

David Cusick, a Tuscororan
Indian, wrote in 1825

about a giant tribe
called Ronnongwetowanca

in the Ohio Valley.

In his account, he wrote
that other smaller tribes

grew tired of the
giants attacking them.

So with a force of 800
warriors they killed

all the Ronnongwetowanca people.

After that, there were
no more giants anywhere.

Cusick wrote that this
happened 2500 years

before Columbus discovered
America, about 1000 B.C.

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.

One amazing fact withheld
from history books

is that virtually
every explorer who came

to the New World
encountered giants.

Amerigo Vespucci,
Magellan, Coronado, De Soto

and Sir Francis Drake all
claimed giant encounters.

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.

Stories of giants
that occupied Europe

comes from the Middle
Ages and involves

a surprising figure,
St. Christopher.

While modern stories
of St. Christopher

simply make him out
as an ordinary man,

or perhaps a
somewhat homely man,

those who actually saw
him had a different story.

According to his
peers, he was a giant

belonging to a
tribe of dog-headed,
cannibalistic giants.

Jacobus de Voragine
in "The Golden Legend"

wrote of St. Christopher,
he was of gigantic stature,

had a terrifying mien,
and was 12 coudees tall.

A coudee is an ancient
measurement equal to

or larger than the English
linear measurement of a foot.

According to his
ancient account,

St. Christopher stood
from 12 to 18 feet tall.

A fact that had been
hidden in or even erased

from church history.

In humans, gigantism is
usually caused by a tumor

on the pituitary
gland of the brain.

It causes growth of the
hands, face and feet.

In some cases, the condition
can be passed on genetically

through a mutated gene.

Many of those who have been
identified with gigantism

have suffered from
multiple health issues,

involving their circulatory
or skeletal system.

Hypersecretion of growth
hormones causes gigantism

in children and adults.

Reports of gigantism
exist throughout history

with some nations and
tribes taller than others.

The giants of Crete are listed

in various historical
sources, beginning with Titan,

a greek mythological giant,
and including Gigantus,

after whom giants and
gigantism are named.

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.

Goliath, a giant
mentioned in the Bible,

was a Philistine warrior
who was slain by David

in a battle between the
Israelites and Philistines.

A member of Goliath's
family is also recorded

as having six
fingers on each hand

and six toes on each feet.

The Nephilim, who are
generally accepted to be giant,

were the offspring
of the sons of God

and the daughters of
men before the deluge

according to "Genesis."

The name is also used
in reference to giants

who inhabited Canaan at the
time of the Israelite conquest

of Canaan according
to "Numbers."

A similar biblical Hebrew word
with different vowel sounds

is used in "Ezekiel" to refer
to dead Philistine warriors.

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.

However, paleontologists claim
these are mastodon remains.

Is it possible that
ancient monuments

found throughout the world
were actually built by giants?

Legend tells that Stonehenge
may have such origins.

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.

The 5th century king
Aurelius Ambrosius

wished to erect a memorial
to 3,000 nobles slain

in battle against the Saxons
and buried at Salisbury,

and at Merlin's advice
chose Stonehenge.

The king sent Merlin,
Uther Pendragon

and 15,000 knights to
remove it from Ireland,

which it had been constructed
on Mount Killaraus

by the giants.

They slew 7,000 Irish,
but as the knights tried

to move the rocks with ropes
and force, they failed.

Then Merlin, using
gear and skill,

easily dismantled the stones
and sent them over to Britain,

where Stonehenge was dedicated.

It is said that these
kings were buried inside

the "Giants' Rings
of Stonehenge."

America also has a Stonehenge
dating back over 2,000 years.

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.

Carbon dating of
charcoal pits at the site

provided dates from
2,000 B.C. to 173 B.C.,

when the area was
populated by ancestors

of current Native Americans.

In archaeological chronology,

this places indigenous use
of the site either into

the Late Archaic or the
Early Woodland time periods.

It would have been in use
during the time of the giants.

Bones and monuments are
not the only evidence

suggesting the
existence of giants,

huge footprints have
also been discovered,

In 1897, the "Los
Angeles Herald" revealed

that laborers had discovered
a fossil shoe print

in solid rock.

The imprint was that of a
shoe with high narrow heel

and a broad flat sole.

It was so clear in
the fine grain shale

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.

Sandal or moccasin prints
have also been seen

in gypsum of the White
Sands in New Mexico.

Ellis Wright, in 1932,
found tracks of human form

as large as 22 inches long.

The White Sands were laid
down as an ancient inlet sea

gradually dried up around
the time of the demise

of the dinosaurs.

The "American Anthropologist"
published an article

in February 1896,
of a large stone

bearing the perfect
imprint of a human foot,

14.5 inches long.

It was shown to member's

of the Ohio State Academy
of Science in 1896.

The stone slab had been
dug from the ground

in a hill four miles north of
Parkersburg, West Virginia,

some 20 years earlier.

In 1938, Dr. Wilbur Burroughs,

head of the geology department
at Berea College, Kentucky,

announced that he had discovered
10 humanoid footprints

in carboniferous
sandstone on a farm

belonging to Mr. O.
Finnell in the hills in the

southern part of
Rockcastle County.

The prints were nine
and a half inches long

and six inches wide.

The length between
footprints was 18 inches.

No marks of four feet
or a tail were found.

Infrared photography revealed
that there were no signs

of carving or
artificial markings in
or around the prints.

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.

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.

The rock in which the
prints were discovered

was estimated to be
250 million years old.

In recent years, the prints
have been destroyed by vandals.

Giant tracks, seemingly
made by a human being,

were found by a government
tracker in the Alkali Flats area

of the great White Sands,
New Mexico in 1931.

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.

They found 13 imprints
crossing a relic desert basin

in the eastern most foothills
of the San Andreas Mountains.

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.

Oval shaped, the prints
are 16 to 22 inches long

and eight to 12 inches wide,

with a distance between
strides of about five feet

and a separation in
width of two feet.

In 1882, huge footprints,
strongly resembling

those of a human wearing
shoes, were found

in a layer of sandstone in
the yard of the state prison

near Carson City, Nevada
during digging operations.

The prints were between
18 and 20 inches long,

and approximately
eight inches wide.

The stride was about three
feet and the distance between

the left and right
tracks, the straddle,

was about 19 inches.

Since the size of the prints
and the age of the rock

at the layer they
were discovered,

two to three 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.

It's thought that these
animals could stand upright,

but only by using their
tails for additional support.

However, no tail track
was found at this site.

It was also suggested
that perhaps the animal

was walkIng on four feet
and that its rear legs

were landing exactly in the
tracks left by its front feet.

Thereby creating the
impression of a biped.

But this fails to
account for the fact

that the tracks show no toe
marks and appear to be sandals.

What may well be the
oldest fossil footprint

ever discovered,
was found in 1968

by William J. Meister, an
amateur fossil collector.

If the print is what
is appears to be,

the impression of a sandaled
shoe crushing a trilobite,

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,

or to prove that a
shoe wearing biped

from another world had
once visited this planet.

Meister made his
potentially disturbing find

during a rock and fossil
hunting trip to Antelope Spring,

43 miles west of Delta, Utah.

His party had already discovered
several fossil trilobites

when Meister split open
a rock with his hammer

and made the outrageous find.

The rock fell open like a
book revealing on one side

the footprint of a
human with trilobites

right in the footprint itself.

The other half of
the slab of the rock

showed an almost perfect mold
of the footprint in fossils.

Amazingly, the human
was wearing a sandal.

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.

If giant footprints are
not enough to convince

even the most hardened skeptic,

then giant tools and
artifacts might not budge

their restricted
perceptions either.

However, consider
these, in June 1936

Max Hahn and his wife
Emma were on a walk

when they noticed a rock with
wood protruding from its core.

They took the rock home
and later cracked it open

with a hammer and chisel.

What they found within seemed
to be an ancient hammer.

A team of archaeologists
checked it

and determined the rock
encasing the hammer

was dated back more
than 400 million years.

The hammer itself
turned out to be be more

than 500 million years old,

according to the
same measurement.

Apparently it's so old that
a section of the handle

had begun the
transformation to coal.

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.

There had 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.

In 1888, the Logan
Grey's, a military group

led by A.M. Jones were
conducting military exercises

on a small island on Eagle
Lake near Warsaw, Indiana.

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 eight feet deep.

Inside was the skeleton of
a six foot, nine inch giant

buried next to a
stream that led to what

was called a sacred pool.

In 1889, near Kewanna,
standing stones

were found on a
mound and underneath

another giant was unearthed.

While in Whitlock,
Indiana another giant

was found in association
with a group buried

in a seating position.

One of the largest finds
on record was reported

in "A History of
Jennings County Indiana"

published in 1885.

It was reported that in 1881,
a nine foot tall skeleton

was unearthed in a local mound,

along with the body of
a blonde haired child.

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.

What is believed to be the
largest Indian stone ax

in existence, is
among the collections

of the Missouri
Historical Society.

The ax is made of granite, it
measures 28 inches in length,

14 inches in width and
11 inches in thickness

and weighs more than 300 pounds.

When found, the pointed
end was embedded

in a small mound of
boulders and pebbles

with the body and head
of the ax exposed.

The hole apparently
forming a shrine or altar.

The ax resembles
a tomahawk pipe,

its upper end or head
is slightly hallowed out

and in this depression
was ceremoniously placed

a small quantity of tobacco.

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.

According to Chippewa tradition,

the ax has been held in
veneration by these Indians

from time immemorial.

The Guadeloupe Woman is a
well authenticated discovery,

which has been in
the British Museum

for over half a century.

In 1812, on the coast
of the French Caribbean

island of Guadeloupe, a fully
human skeleton was found,

complete in every aspect
except for the feet and head.

It belonged to a woman about
five foot two inches tall.

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.

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.

Since such a date for a
regular person does not fit

evolutionary theory, you will
not find Guadeloupe Woman

mentioned in any
hominid textbooks.

To do so would be to
disprove evolutionary dating

of rock formations.

When the two ton
limestone block,

containing Guadeloupe Woman,

was first put on exhibit in
the British Museum in 1812,

it was displayed as proof
of the Genesis flood.

But that was 20
years before Lyell

and nearly 50 years
before Darwin.

In 1881, the exhibit
was quietly taken down

to the basement and
remains there to this day.

Many giant skeletons
have been found

in or near Native American
mounds and burial places.

Native Americans have many
legends regarding giants.

Here are just a few.

The Apache have a
legend about Big Owl,

a malicious and dangerous giant,

often used as a bogeyman
in children's stories.

In some Apache tribes,
Big Owl also plays

a more important
mythological role

as an early adversary
of the War Twins.

Like other legendary
Apache beings,

Big Owl is sometimes
described as

having a human form, in
this case a man-eating ogre

and other times an animal form,

such as a large horned owl,

large enough to
carry off a child.

Giwakwa are the evil
man-eating ice giants

of southern Wabanaki legends.

According to most legends,

Giwakwa 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.

In some Abenaki legends,
the stone giants

were not transformed humans

but primordial
man-eating monsters

defeated by the
culture hero Gluskabe.

Kolowa is a kind of
hairy man-eating ogre

from Creek mythology, some
recent Creek storytellers

have translated it to gorilla.

The Lofa is a malevolent,
ogre-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.

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.

Moshup is giant, who
is the culture hero

of Mohegan and Wampanoag tribes.

Sometimes referred to as a
transformer by folklorists.

Moshup is strongly
associated with whales.

In most most tribal traditions,

he would catch whales
to fed the people.

And in some stories,
Moshup and his children

eventually transform
into whales themselves.

Moshup has a wife
named Squannit,

who is a powerful medicine
woman of the Little People.

The Shampe is a malevolent,
ogre-like monster

of Chickasaw folklore.

In some legends, he attempts
to abduct Choctaw women.

In others, he is a man-eater.

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.

His most salient
feature is his smell,

Shampe smell is so overpowering

that a person cannot be
bear to be around him,

making him difficult to fight.

Stoneclad is a monster
from Cherokee folklore.

Details about Stoneclad vary
from telling to telling.

In some versions
there is only one,

while in other versions there
is a whole race of Stoneclads.

He is a stone-skinned
giant like the Stonecoats

of the northern Iroquois tribe.

In all cases, he has
rocklike plates of armor

that protect him from
fire, cold and weapons.

He's defeated only through
sapping his magical power

by destroying his talismans.

Of course many Native legends
could simply be stories

made up to keep
children in line.

But most historians
will tell you

that legends are usually
rooted in some truth.

Native Americans who
encountered giants

would create stories to
pass the incidents down

in oral tradition.

With the discovery of
so many giant skeletons

unearthed in the United States,

it would have been impossible
for Native Americans

to have never encountered them.

There is strong evidence
that Native American folklore

about giants is true.

Seven foot tall
skeletons have been found

in burial mounds
of southeast towns

that were home to the
ancestors of the Creek Indians.

As European settlers pushed
across North America,

newspapers printed stories
about the discovery

of giant skeletons.

Some were described as
being normal human beings,

but very tall.

Others had skulls with
more primitive features.

The most credible stories
of giant skeletons

were concentrated
in the Appalachians,

Cumberland Plateau
and Ohio Basin.

They were typically
found in graves lined

with stone slabs or field
stones, known as the

stone box grave culture.

In 1821, seven
foot tall skeletons

in stone-lined
sarcophagus were found

in a White County,
Tennessee burial area.

Legends from Midwest tribes
tell of lightly pigmented,

yellow or red haired
giants living around the

Great Lakes or southern Canada.

Occasionally these
giants travelled south

into their territories.

While some encounters
were benign,

others resulted in warfare.

The Cherokees claimed
to have killed

the last tall white Indians,
while still living in Kentucky

and West Virginia.

Western pioneers sometimes
found what they assumed

were giant fossilized
human skeletons

along exposed
banks and in caves.

They described these
skeletons as much thicker

than modern humans.

Some claim the skulls
had double rows of teeth.

Several western tribes
tell of past confrontations

with lightly pigmented giants

with either blonde or red hair.

The Paiutes claim that
the giants were cannibals,

who hunted Paiutes for food.

They repeatedly
attacked the giants

until their numbers dwindled.

The surviving giants
were cornered in a cave,

then either shot with
arrows or asphyxiated.

by setting a fire
at the entrance.

In 1754, George
Washington was colonel

of the Virginia
Colonial militia.

When hostilities
broke out with France,

he supervised construction
of Fort Loudon

in Winchester, Virginia.

Laborers digging the
fort's foundation

uncovered a cemetery
of seven foot skeletons

and what appeared to be
Native American artifacts.

The skeletons were viewed
and reported by Washington.

It is not known what
happened to them.

This discovery gives
credibility to reports

of seven foot tall skeletons
discovered in West Virginia,

Kentucky, southern Ohio
and southern Indiana.

Thousands of years ago,
giants roamed the west.

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.

Tribes still speak
of these ancient days

when their ancestors
fought desperate battles

against the marauding,
loping giants,

some towering 12
feet tall or taller,

that roamed the land viciously
attacking settlements,

brutally carrying
off screaming women

and wailing children for food.

Of all of the Indian
mounds that exist today,

most have barely
been investigated.

The few gigantic
skeletons found in some,

have been dismissed or
suppressed as aberrations.

Ten and 12 foot humans do
not fit dogmatic theories.

Usually when giant
skeletons are found

they're laughed off as hoaxes.

Unfortunately, orthodox
science has too much to lose

by investigating the
mounds thoroughly.

Archaeologists cannot deny that
the Mound Builders are real.

What they deny are the things

sometimes discovered
inside the mounds.

Over the past
century and a half,

it's been revealed
again and again

that some of the mounds,
and the small pyramids,

are the burial
grounds of huge men

often eight feet or taller,

that had a very
sophisticated culture.

Some of the giants
have been found wearing

intricate leather armor and
have been buried with swords.

One such giant was
found near Spiro Mound

in Oklahoma during the 1930s.

Who were these mysterious people

that roamed America long
before the wooly mammoths

became extinct?

Were they are ancestors or
another race of giant humans

from a civilization
that predates our own?

From the time settlers first
set foot on American soil,

we have been finding
evidence of giants.

Most of this evidence
has been destroyed

or sequestered away, in order
to either hide the truth

or make it difficult
to quantify artifacts

and harder to study.

There does appear
to be a conspiracy

to shelter evidence of giants,

and it has been going on
since science has been aware

of the bones and materials
associated with these anomalies.

Our whole history would
change if all the evidence

of giants could be revealed.

Perhaps our civilization
is not yet ready

to accept the existence
of those lofty beings

that roamed the
Earth centuries ago.

Or perhaps others have
made that decision for us.

And we are left with
only scant remnants

of a civilization
larger than life.

Eventually more evidence and
artifacts will be discovered.

Perhaps then we'll have
a more complete picture

of our gigantic history.
