The Redheaded Giants of North America

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

The tale of this legendary people has always fascinated me:

------

Many native tribes in the northeast and the southwest still speak about legends of giants with red hair and how their ancestors fought long and terrible wars against these giants when they first encountered them in North america, over 15,000 years ago.

Even in Central america, the ancient Aztecs and Maya recorded their encounters with a terrifying race of giants in the north when they ventured out on expeditions, exploring new land.

Who were these giants that many legends speak of? Could this be a part of history that has been overlooked by mainstream scholars? Is it possible, like evidence suggests, that Giants lived on Earth in the distant past?

There have been numerous places across the globe where "burial" sites have been uncovered and giant skeletons excavated. Researchers point out that in the United States, these mysterious giants have been found in Michigan, Illinois and Tennessee, Arizona, and Nevada.



In 1924, these myths turned out to be the real deal when researchers discovered, in the state of Nevada, remains of giant beings in the Lovelock Cave. The cave - located about 20 kilometers south of the town of Lovelock, Nevada, is about 40 feet deep and 60 feet wide.

It is an ancient cave that dates back to pre-human in this continent. In prehistoric times it was under a huge inland lake called Lahontan that covered most of western Nevada.

Geologists have determined that the cave was formed by lake currents and wave action.

The Paiutes, a tribe of American Indians native to parts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, told the first "white people" the story of the battles of their ancestors against a race of fierce giants, with pale white skin and red hair.



According to the Paiutes tradition, these giants lived in the area for a long time. Paiutes called the giant "Si-Te-Cah", which literally means "tule eaters."

The tule is a very fibrous water plant from which the giants made rafts that they used to navigate and escape from the Paiute.

They used rafts to navigate through what remained of Lake Lahontan. According to the legends of the Paiute, these red-haired giants were as tall as 12 feet and were cruel and evil, killing and eating the captured Paiutes as food.

Thousands of years later the mysterious caves were the giants took refugee was rediscovered and excavated. After 13 years of excavations, archaeologists came across incredible findings.

Over 10,000 artifacts were recovered and among them, the mummified remains of two giants, a female of 6.5 meters in height, a male of over 8 meters in height.



Many of these artifacts can be seen at the museum of natural history located in Winnemucca, Nevada, the giant skeletons however are nowhere to be seen. As archaeologists continued with the excavations, the myths of the Paiutes seemed more as accurate accounts of what had happened in the distant past.

One of the most important discoveries made is what researchers believe to be a calendar. A stone shaped object that resembles a donut with 365 carved notches on its inner edge and 52 on its outer edge.

Mainstream corroboration at Wikipedia

Includes the passage:

A written report by James H. Hart, the first of two miners to excavate the cave in the fall of 1911, recalls that in the north-central part of the cave, about four feet deep, "was a striking looking body of a man “six feet six inches tall.” His body was mummified and his hair distinctly red."[5] Unfortunately in the first year of mining, some of the human remains and artifacts were lost and destroyed. "The best specimen of the adult mummies was boiled and destroyed by a local fraternal lodge, which wanted the skeleton for initiation purposes."[6] Also, several of the fiber sandals found in the cave were remarkably large, and one reported at over 15 inches (38 cm) in length was said to be on display at the Nevada Historical Society's museum in Reno in 1952.

38cm sandal! For context, a size 10 shoe-size for men is approximately 27cm long, and a 16 (the largest 'normal' shoe-size available) is approximately 32cm.

I wonder if there is a connection to the redheaded elongated skulls in Peru? Not in size but genetically. LA Marzulli photographed them and handled them and someone must have gotten DNA from the hair???? It would be interesting to see if the DNA in the giant red heads could be analyzed to compare.

What interests me is every single culture , no matter what continent, has a race or races that reached high technology/awareness of mysteries, suddenly dies off and takes their history with them ... could we be next ??? Just like the Mayans, or the red haired giants, it seems history is controlled , and kept secret... I wonder if our lineage will keep good records, or will remnants of us be found in caves / underground military bases... there is always a next generation, starting over, searching for answers to the past ...
