1880 "A skeleton which is reported to have been of enormous dimensions" was found in a clay coffin, with a sandstone slab containing hieroglyphics, during mound explorations by a Dr Everhart near Zanesville, Ohio. (American Antiquarian, v3, 1880, pg61).
1880 An excavation in Brush Creek Township, Muskingurn County yielded the bones of men and women, buried in couples . The length of their skeletons exceeding eight and even nine feet! The excavation was started in early December 1870.The Brush Creek Tablet was found among skeletons of people over 8 and 9 feet tall
in Muskigum County, Ohio, in the early 1880's. The whereabouts of the Tablet today are unknown.

It's interesting to note that, giants or not, the native americans avoided these mounds like the plague. Not just the mounds themselves, but large areas of forest surrounding the mounds...despite the fact that they were rife with game etc. They just did not go there.

The 2016 Megalithomania Conference is on 7th-8th May in Glastonbury, UK, with a top line-up of ancient mysteries authors and researchers including Julian Richards, Brien Foerster, Hugh Newman and more. Details here: http://www.megalithomania.co.uk. Subscribe here: http://youtube.com/MegalithomaniaUK. Get the new book: GIANTS ON RECORD here: http://amzn.to/1MrVH5L. Megalithic researcher Hugh Newman investigates giants and megalithic structures from around the world asking - did giants build the ancient stone circles, pyramids and earthworks? Was it the Nephilim, Gog & Magog, King Og of Bashan, or the Titans of ancient Greece? Hugh is a regular guest on History Channel's 'Search for the Lost Giants' and 'Ancient Aliens' and has co-authored the new book with Jim Vieira: 'Giants on Record'.

Hey lizfrench,
I love this stuff! The giants prove the Bible true...to the chagrin of many. What they don't realize is, not all churches are created equal. They don't know a thing about 501-c3 contract. and their agents! [ actually quite close to the term agentur [ communist ]
But anyways, the fact that Giants exist, not to mention the mounds, knock out the native americans as the originals, because the native aboriginal people, admit these burial grounds preexisted them in america!!! I don't say that to disrespect them or toss out their status, but something to notice in this super effed up world of PC.
I read these two books, besides being a fan of these excellent works, I also watched videos by E. Raymond Capt. Mr Capt is a biblical archeologist and historian and an expert in his field.
From Mr Capt, I learned of the los lunas decalogue stone, which was vandalized recently, out in new mexico. The stone, which was sizable was never protected til AFTER it was vandalized. But pictures of the inscriptions in ancient hebrew exist.
Anyways, north america was visited long ago, they did mining here, and I wouldn't doubt if Joseph of Arimathea cam here as well. He was known to mine in the UK while his home was the palestine area.

Probably due to the respect they had for their own dead and burial grounds, they steer clear of as well! Thanks!

The primitives, may actually exist in the mirror we gaze into. I realize it is quite long, but I assure you, that within 20 minutes, you'll get a lesson. And the easiest way to watch beside pause, is to download it.

Go there with a shovel and start digging, i would do it if it were close where i am. Take photos af everything and post them here ;) But take a friend, when digging underground its always good to have someone around.

Thanks again EWAN,
My head is still spinning from the possibilities off that vid !!! You must have felt somewhat similar to bother to put it up like that ! Am I wrong?
Anyways, the OP's video was also fantastic in its' own right. It was not typical teaser garbage, it got down an explained things. Some folks think the giants built
some or many of the small temples, but the problem is, the giants would never fit inside,so if they did do it, they did it for hire or as a favor...I dunno, I wasn't there, I just got to put 2+2 together.
Now back to my post. I was so frikkin amazed at each turn of the math, and the connections made....I'm not even done, but I did see mars, and the face in florida not to mention the 2 cats, the tiny one in egypt and the monster in florida. Perhaps by the time I finish watching I may have calmed down...a bit, not sure.
I was up until the wee hours hanging off of every word and calculation....it was incredible !!! I think there's an hour or so left
I don't know how to verify this...hopefully, I'm not all excited over nothin...

I read Tom Horn's book, On the Path of the Immortals. There are a few chapters in the book on giants. Was particularly interested in his hypothesis about why the Anasazi built high up in rock fortresses and used small narrow stairways to protect themselves from giants. He also mentioned that according to Native American tradition the Superstition mountains near Sedona were the home of superhuman giants. Tom learned from the Apache that there were cannibalistic giants. That photo from above looks like it could be one of the cannibals... Interesting the Native American stories line up with what others cultures have said about giants.
In my thread about the Smithsonian hiding history ie. giants are the big coverup. Some members mentioned in it that thread that there was no evidence of giants and that was surprising to me, based on historical accounts, photos and skeletal remains it seems there is. I bet just like the rumors about the Vatican hiding ET bodies someone has a vast collection of Giant remains.

Our only local giant legend concerns Judaculla Rock:
http://shadowboxent.brinkster.net/images4/JudacullaRockPhoto.jpg
In this photo, the carvings are filled with chalk so you can see them; it's actually soapstone, and continues to erode, but the writing is unknown and the Cherokee associate it with a giant of that name, who was there long before. He had seven fingers and toes.
There were some mound builders such as Town Creek but, they were not giants.
The common legend is that the Cherokee finished wiping out a nocturnal, albino race: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon-eyed_people
Which, supposedly, Kentucky was uninhabited because northern tribes slaughtered them en masse there and it was considered their graveyard.

David Hatcher Childress Interview by Robert Dakota
It's hard to know if this is valid info since the documentation is from 1909, but it fits in with the story about the Paracus skulls.
q1n4lpr4MSo
http://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/ancientegyptian-artifacts-discovered-in-the-grand-canyon-in-1909/
20 years ago, I first heard a
fleeting reference to giant
mummies having been
discovered inside the walls of
the Grand Canyon and the
discovery having been covered-
up. I never heard anything
about this again.
Recently, when I ran a clip
about a man in Utah who knows
the locations of several tombs of
giant mummies, I was re-
introduced to this story. Paiute
tribes have traditions about giant
red-haired cannibals, who feasted
on their people, until the former
were able to kill the last of them
by lighting a fire at the entrance
to the cave where they dwelled.
An account of this was published
by Sarah Winnemucca, the
daughter of a prominent Paiute
family in her 1883 book, 'Life
Among the Paiutes: Their Wrongs
and Claims
I hadn't realized that this story
about giant mummies in the Grand
Canyon originated in a front page
news article, published in the Phoenix
Gazette on April 5, 1909. Just now,
reading this old news report, the
details are so shocking and I've
reproduce it at the page linked
below. The Smithsonian
Institution in Washington, DC
reportedly funded this excavation,
therefore, it is believed by some
that it absconded with evidence of
this amazing find and covered it up.
The lack of interest shown by the
paleontology community in the
Paracas skulls and the extreme control
exerted by Egyptologists over the
official narrative about Ancient Egypt
do beg the question as to whether
our ancient history is being actively
covered-up by the Powers that Be of
the West.

Author Graham Hancock and others
have called us a "Species with Amnesia"
but the Hindus and Buddhists don't
engage in a cover-up of the idea of the
extreme antiquity of humanity, whatsoever.
They believe that humankind has existed
for millions of years. What would be the
motives of such a cover-up? Some say
that if we think human history is so short,
that we would consider ourselves to be
like children and thus, easier to control.
This video covers the main details of this
Grand Canyon case and features an interview
with publisher, David Hatcher Childress,
toward he end.

Ancient, forgotten urbanized culture in the Midwest
SECRET ANCIENT AMERICAN HISTORY
http://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/secret-ancient-american-history/
There is a large collection of ancient Native American sites with evidence of a developed, urbanized ancient civilization called the Mississippian culture, located mostly in the Midwest, in places like Cahokia, near St. Louis.
These sites have been largely ignored by mainstream archeology, according to these interviewees, due to a colonial legacy of devaluing Native American culture.

Love the Giant stuff! I use to live right where they did 9 years ago. The description use to be on line but I couldn't find it last time I looked for it. Archeologist in Zanesville, Ohio dug up 8'-12' tall skeletons in "Chalfont's"- Just south of Glenford, Ohio back in the 1800s. I lived right around the corner. One of my carpenters owned the property that had the large stone formations in connection with the giants from the info I read back in 2003-4 describing the find. He stated "they came with bulldozers and buried it all"..

ECUADOR EXPOSE THE SKELETONS OF AN ANCIENT RACE OF GIANT HUMANS.
7 TIMES BIGGER THAN MODERN HUMANS.
https://archaeology-world.com/ecuador-expose-the-skeletons-of-an-ancient-race-of-giant-humans-7-times-bigger-than-modern-humans/?fbclid=IwAR1mHw-rdRHN_LOAk0NANIG-nmQNNgP1bUrwjlog0j-isLnCj2SYjlbYpGw
According to a research team led by British anthropologist Russell Dement, strikingly tall skeletons uncovered in the Amazon region of Ecuador and Peru are undergoing examination in Germany. Will these remains prove that a race of tall people existed deep in the Amazon rainforest hundreds of years ago?
A half dozen human skeletons from the early 1400s to mid-1500s were confirmed to have been discovered, varying from 7 feet and 8 feet (213 to 243 centimeters) in height.
Dement told Cuenca Highlife: “We are very early in our research and I am only able to provide a general overview of what we have found. I don’t want to make claims based on speculation since our work is ongoing. Because of the size of the skeletons, this has both anthropological and medical implications.”
In late 2013, Dement received word that a skeleton had been uncovered by a Shuar local, approximately 70 miles (112 kilometers) from Cuenca, in Loja Province, Ecuador. Dement traveled to the site and recovered the rib cage and skull of a female which had been exposed by flooding.
The bones were thought to date to 600 years ago. The rest of the skeleton was located and, once assembled, reportedly measured 7 feet and 4 inches (223.5 centimeters) in height.
This prompted the formation of a research team including four researchers from Freie Universität in Germany, and the assistance of Shuar locals. Funding was provided by the university for excavation and investigation.
Because of the sensational nature of this, we have to be extremely diligent in our research.
— RUSSELL DEMENT
Recognizing it is a controversial area of research, Dement noted “Even though I had been working with Freie for many years, I was concerned that they might not give a grant for someone looking for giants. To outsiders, especially scientists, I understand this sounds a little hair-brained.
“Because of the sensational nature of this, we have to be extremely diligent in our research since it will be met with a great deal of skepticism,” he said.
Three complete skeletons and two partial skeletons had no disfiguration and they were relatively healthy.
Dement told Cuenca Highlife: “The skeletons show no signs of diseases such as the hormonal growth problems that are common in most cases of gigantism.
In all the skeletons, the joints seemed healthy and the lung cavity appeared large. One of the skeletons that we have dated was of a female who was about 60 when she died, much older than typical cases of gigantism.”
The burials were elaborate. Bodies were wrapped in leaves and buried in thick clay. This sealed the skeletons and protected against water intrusion, leaving the remains in fairly good condition.
Legends Come to Life
Carlos Miguel Vaca Alvarado, of the parish of the town of Changaiminas, Ecuador, was all his life interested in archaeology, and this motivated him to discover a group of numerous giant human skeletons.
The bones were about 7 meters high and have been discovered in the mountains of the Amazon area. The seven fragments of the skeleton were carefully analyzed by many experts who reached the conclusion that those bones were part of a human skeleton seven times bigger than a modern human being.
Legends say that this region was known as the “cemetery of the gods”, sine in ancient times this region was inhabited by giants. Many experts affirm that this place is the lost city of the giants since many pyramids were discovered there, and their size reached 80 meters high and 80 meters wide.
Moreover, around those pyramids were found numerous objects which were found there which probably were used for mining. Experts believe that this place belonged to an unknown mysterious pre-Inca culture.

Not too sure about that website ... they have some articles, despite not being mainstream, that are most likely true, but other's that were quite obviously hoaxes. Seems not a whole lot of discretion there. Not that I doubt that giant humans ever lived, I'm quite confident they did.

Amazon giants may be for real; Research team finds several large skeletons near Peruvian border
Dec 14, 2020

By Liam Higgins
A British anthropologist says he has finally found the Amazon giants he has been looking for.
A Shuar settlement, southeast of Cuenca, near the site of Russell Dement’s excavation.
Although Russell Dement says the tribe of giants has almost certainly died out, he and a team of German researchers have excavated two settlements in the Ecuador and Peru Amazon region and found a half dozen human skeletons that measure between seven and eight feet in height.
Dement said the settlements dated to the early 1400s in one case and to the mid-1500s in the second. “We are very early in our research and I am only able to provide a general overview of what we have found,” he said. “I don’t want to make claims based on speculation since our work is ongoing. Because of the size of the skeletons, this has both anthropological and medical implications.”
Two of the skeletons have been sent to Freie Universität in Germany for analysis, including one that measures eight feet, while the others remain on site in Ecuador.
Dement says he has heard about the race of large Amazonians for more than 25 years as he has studied the Shuar and Achuar Amazon indigenous communities. “The elders in the communities tell a story about very tall, pale-skinned people who used to live nearby,” he says. “They described them as peaceful, gentle people who were always welcomed in their villages.”
Stories of the giant Amazonians have been known for more than a hundred years, since the first anthropologists made contact with Amazon tribes. One of the first mentions of them was in an article by the German researcher Franz Bosch, who heard about it from a community of the Shuar, southeast of Cuenca. Bosch is best known for his study of head-shrinking which, unfortunately, he fell personal victim to (to read the article, click here).
There are quite a few references to the giants in the scientific literature,” says Dement, “but because the Shuar insist that they belonged to the ‘spirit world’ it was always assumed that they were legend and not fact.”
What caught Dement’s attention was the fact that the same story is told by indigenous Amazonians over a large area of the jungle area east of the Andes, in both Ecuador and Peru. “Because the stories were so similar and because I heard them so frequently no matter where I worked, I’ve always thought there might be something to them.”
In December 2013, Dement received a phone call from a Shuar friend who had found part of skeleton about 70 miles from Cuenca. “He said that it was of one of the giants,” says Dement. “I was in Quito at the time and of course rushed down to take look.”
What Dement found was the skull and rib cage of a large female who had lived about 600 years ago. The remains had been exposed by flooding of a nearby creek. With the help of his friend, he quickly located the rest of skeleton, which had been moved in the flood. When he assembled the entire skeleton, it measured seven feet, four inches.
Within two months, Dement assembled a team of four research associates from Freie Universität in Berlin. The university also provided funding for excavation and research work. “Even though I had been working with Freie for many years, I was concerned that they might not give a grant for someone looking for giants,” says Dement. “To outsiders, especially scientists, I understand this sounds hair-brained.”
Once together, Dement’s team worked for six months, unearthing three more complete skeletons and parts of two more, collecting artifacts and mapping the area. During the work, and with the assistance of his Shuar friends, Dement located a second settlement about twenty miles away, on the Ecuadorian – Peruvian border, where two more skeletons were found. That settlement dated to about 1550.

Not too sure about that website ... they have some articles, despite not being mainstream, that are most likely true, but other's that were quite obviously hoaxes. Seems not a whole lot of discretion there. Not that I doubt that giant humans ever lived, I'm quite confident they did.
Luckily opinions are not facts DeDukshyn. There is plenty of information in the article for one to make an effort to delve deeper if one wishes to do so.
...
My comment was about the linked website in general, nothing to do with the topic. As I said I have explored the possibility of giants existing for long enough that I am confident they existed. ;)
Thanks for the addition.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I think it's worth looking at this documentary researching human history entitled "Gigantic human beings really existed".
Unfortunately it is in German but it contains a lot of pictures worth seeing.
It goes through several centures, the stories of the Bible featuring prominently but also including quotations from historical persons like Magellan who saw giants as well.
It explains how the history of giants has been and is being suppressed by , for example, the Smithsonian institute which has destroyed numerous artefacts. It also mentions how the findings of ancient skeletons of giants was discredited by a large number of fake photographs turning up on youtube. One example of those is shown here, too.
What I found most interesting is the fact that this documentary was deleted by youtube on the original channel where it was shown and was then re-uploaded by a different channel.

The Quinametzin, from Aztec mythology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinametzin
If i remember correctly, their world ended with "the flood" in the same way as in other cultures i think?
I have a friend who comes from some old indigenous family and knows a lot about Aztec mythology, going to ask him about this topic :)
