Human Giants

Walking in the footsteps of giants
For most people their first giant encounter was most likely with David and Goliath, Jack and the Beanstalk, or some other bed time story. For me it was different.
When I was very small, not yet five, I lay on my grandmother's lap late on a Saturday night watching Creature Features, hosted by Bob Wilkins. I grew up in Nevada. We received much of the California broadcasting. There was no cable in those days. The movie we were watching had a giant in it. My grandmother commented that my great grandfather was a giant. I asked if she meant my grandpa with the one hand. I thought she meant him because he was six and a half feet tall. She said, “No, that is your grandfather. I'm talking about your great grandfather, he was much bigger.”
I am told that my great grandfather was seven feet tall or more and could grab people by their head with one hand his finger tips resting on their eyebrows his palm on the base of their skull, he would guide them as he pleased. My mother reports that his ears were between six and seven inches from top to bottom. I was told how he had a horse that was six feet high at the back and he could be seen over the saddle from the shoulders up. That's a big man.
The interesting thing is, through my life from grade school to adulthood, I have met with different people who could not believe the story of my great grandfather's size. From polite people who I could feel thought I was telling tall tales, (Pun intended.) to people who flat out called me a liar or an idiot. This compelled me to do a lot of giant research in my teens.
Red-Haired Giants of Nevada
Growing up in Nevada I had heard stories of the Sitecah from the Paiute Indians that lived in the area. They told of red-haired men and women of light colored skin as tall as 12 feet who originally lived in the area when the Paiutes had first arrived. Evidently these human giants liked to eat the Indians so they had problems making friends. The Indian tribes of the area finally joined and ambushed the giants killing most of them on the spot. The remaining giants took refuge in a cave. The Indians demanded they come out and fight but the giants refused. So, the Indians piled brush into the cave and set it on fire. Any giants that did run out were shot with arrows, the remaining giants were asphyxiated.
In the 1800s this cave was known as Horse Shoe Cave but is now called Lovelock Cave. Lovelock cave is located around 20 miles South of Lovelock Nevada.
In 1911 bat guano harvesters started working in this same cave. After digging out four feet of guano they found many broken arrows that the Indians had fired into the cave as well as other interesting artifacts, and yes, they found red-haired giants. Even in the shrunken mummified condition the skeletons ranged in height from 8 feet to just under 12 feet. I did an internet search on this subject and found that the reported heights are very different from what I am stating here. (Internet says 6.5 feet to 8 feet.) My account is from what I was told growing up in Nevada. I will leave it up to you to decide on the heights based on the photo of one of the cave giant's jaw bone and dental cast of a regular man's teeth. Most of the artifacts have been lost over time due to lack of interest from science. Go figure. However some of the artifacts are in the Humboldt Museum at Winnemucca Nevada and in the Nevada State Historical Society's museum at Reno.
The Review-Miner June 19, 1931 Reported the find of two giant skeletons in the Humboldt lake bed. Both skeletons were wrapped in a gum treated fabric. The first skeleton was 8 and one half feet tall, the second was just under 10 feet tall.
In 1877 prospectors outside of Eureka Nevada found a human leg broken off four inches above the knee cap including the foot. This leg was found sticking out of solid red quartzite rock dating from the time of the dinosaurs. After using their picks to extract their find from the rock they took it to Eureka. Medical doctors examined the bones and stated that it did indeed belong to a human of very modern appearance. The interesting part was the size of the bones. They measured from heel to knee 39 inches. The owner would have stood over 12 feet tall. The area was searched for more remains but nothing else was found. This story was heavily published in the newspapers of the time.
Red-Haired Giants of Hawaii
For over 20 years now I have been living in the islands of Hawaii. Only a few years after I had first moved here I again heard about red-haired giants. Two giant 10 and 12 foot red-haired skeletons were found in a lava cave in a canyon behind Olowalu Hawaii. I drove out to Olowalu to see what I could find out. After making my way off the main road onto the old road. I turned up the canyon in which I had been told the research was happening. After a little exploring I found some excellent though strange petroglyphs on the side of a rock out cropping. I was just able to take a few pictures before a white SUV drove up with a man and a woman in it. The woman was driving. The woman told me that I would have to leave the area. After talking with her for a few minutes she admitted that Red-haired skeletons had been found and that they were much larger than they should be. She would not tell me any exact measurements. She did say that they did not want to upset the Hawaiians with their discoveries. The man never spoke even when I greeted him.
It should be noted that although there is the spirit of Pele that is the Goddess of fire believed to live in the volcano. Pele started out as a physical Pele that traveled the islands. She is described as extremely tall with fiery red hair, fair skin, great strength, incredible beauty, veracious sexual appetite and a deadly temper. It is mentioned that Pele's father is the man-eater Ku-waha-ilo who dwells in the far off heavens. Pele traveled the islands of Hawaii digging underground tunnels in an effort to find a spot that she could dig deep caves that did not flood with water so she could make a safe home for her family.
Several days after meeting the man and woman in the SUV, I went back at night. More than anything I wanted to see exactly where the discovery was. This time I took a sugar cane road in from another direction. I four wheeled it in so that I would be on the ridge above the canyon on top of the rock outcropping with the petroglyphs. I was not there very long before headlights came on below me and started working their way to me. I knew I could be gone before they could get to me but I figured I just as well go meet them. It turned out to be a local guy who was hired as security to guard the site. He told me that Yes, two giants were found. A man and a woman, the big one was easily 12 feet. He did not like staying all night in the canyon it gave him the willies. I kept him company for a while and he told me where the cave was. Not that it mattered they covered it completely when they were done. Even now the area where I had driven my truck on the ridge to look into the canyon is a housing development.
Close but no cigar. Now, as interesting as the Hawaiian part of my story is the giant's size is not first-hand and there is no evidence. So, it does not really count as proof of a race of giants.
Giants in Peru
Recently I took a trip to Peru and guess what jumped out at me in some of the museums I visited there? Yes, it was giants. In Peru they are not whisked away like they are in the USA. (It should be noted that there have been hundreds of giant discoveries in the USA that have been either ignored or taken into custody by the Smithsonian never to be seen again.) The Incas actually had kings that were giants and had red and blond hair. In the Gold Museum in Lima you can still see the clothing and head of an Incan king who stood an easy 10 feet tall. His golden robe is 8 feet long and did not touch the ground when he wore it. His gold gloves are twice as long as my hands. His dried and mummified head is easily twice the size of mine and I'm not a little person. There are two giants and their belongings in the Gold Museum in Lima Peru. Everywhere you go in Peru there are giant skulls and skeletons. Many of the skulls are not normal looking either, and they are not all thousands of years old. In most cases we are talking hundreds of years.
I think it is interesting to compare the Peruvian skulls to the Egyptian busts especially when you think they both built massive structures of stone that we can't explain. Does it prove anything? No, just interesting.
Now, before you start yelling about head binding and Indian cradle boards. You should know that head binding and cradle boarding can change the shape of a skull but it cannot change the capacity of a skull. The skulls shown above and to the right have from two to two and a half times the brain capacity of a normal skull. Sort of like an ounce of clay. You can mash it around all you want but it will never be two ounces of clay.
I have tried to keep this within the realm of my own experiences. There is so much more to this. Like the 64 pound sledge hammer found in a 3500 year old copper mine near the town of Llandudno in North Wales. Giant axes unearthed in Iran, Giant swords, etc.You could read for weeks on the subject of giants and if your mind is anything like mine enjoy every minute of it. I would suggest googeling Solmon Island giants, red haired giants, Arizona giants, California giants, Ohio giants, Peruvian giants.
I could go on forever about giants but the fact is Science says that races of giant humans do not exist and never have.
I sure wish they would stop leaving their stuff lying around.
Yes, I know my grandmother should not have let a 5 year old watch creature features.

LoL, Thank you so much for adding such a rich comment.
Hi Garry
What a great article, I really enjoyed reading it, fascinating facts, made me want to read more,
At 6'4" plus a half I was often called a giant.
Joe
Hi Garry
This article was absolutely fascinating and I loved it. I ran a nightclub for 14 years and one of my security staff, who happened to also work for local government, was just short of 7ft tall. He never needed to be anything but diplomatic. Anyone who might be about to cause trouble would look up and go quietly!

Well done Garry!
Thank you for the comments, I appreciate it.
Your hub made me sit up and take notice about Giants. Thanks for an informative artcile.
Hello,
Yes, it is fun stuff. Don’t let the interest stop at this article. Do some google searches you can find so much more. I would also like to urge anyone who has further giant information of their own to contact me. I’m talking stories, artifacts, skulls, locations, etc. There is still more information of giants offline than there is on.
Thank youGarry
Fantastic Hub, I was just going to scan down it but read every word.
fabulous information! I was just 'glancing through' and found I could not stop until I read the entire Hub.
Amazing, thank you for this Hub!
Hi Gary,
Yeowza! What an super interesting Hub. Fascinating. I did read some where that in Southern Africa there was a cave with a 15ft ceiling that had writing on it with no easy way to get to other than being a 'giant'. If I come accross that source I'll pass it on to you.
Thanks for sharing a fascinating insight to our humanity.
Fillip
Brilliantly written. Thankk you.
Great hub Gary. All of this info was new yo me and really fascinating.
Completely new and unique content! Well done.
Garry,
Wonderful article! I believe this is another example of the truth of the Bible being verified. However, it's unfortunate that so many people want to cover up the truth -- How about that "modern human" bone found in rock dating back to the time of dinosaurs? That's super fascinating!
I, for one, have no problem believing you about your grandfather.
Great work!
Hello,
Thank you so much for the encouraging comments. I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to know you are enjoying this article.
It could be that giant remains are a problem for both religion and for science. So they both are more comfortable with it being swept under the historical rug. For science giants mess up the idea of evolution. It also means the history books would be wrong, isolationism and much of what you have been taught is wrong. If they admit that what they have been teaching is wrong, you might start questioning everything you have been told, and the ensuing doubt is a problem for governments who like to maintain control of things.
For religion the time lines of the bible and the remains that have been found, don't fit. Many of the remains are much older than the bible claims the earth is. And the same problems as mentioned above ensue for the church. It would seem that faith will span most of the voids that open from looking at forbidden archeological information so there is less risk for the church. However, if no questions are asked then no problems have to be dealt with.
If reality disagrees with belief, then reality must be wrong.
There is the problem of peer pressure as well. This article is of no great importance but A loved one asked me to consider not publishing it for fear of losing my credibility on other articles I may write related to my business field. Do to their request I have to admit to leaving out of this article some of the most intriguing parts. I did so for reputation and for fear of losing readers by going beyond their belief threshold. Think about this, If it is stressful for me to talk about the few little things I know, in an article written for fun. What must it be like for an archeologist or scientist who has spent their entire life building a career and reputation that could be destroyed by talking about things people will not embrace simply because it does not fit the belief system that has been built for them from childhood? Don't forget what happened when they said the world was round, or that the earth went around the sun. I wonder what amazing things are out there that we will never hear about, what secrets must some men and women carry absolutely alone?
Anyway, thank you again for expressing your enjoyment of this article.
Wow, great story big fella. I enjoyed reading it.
What an incredible article. Thank you so much for bringing this little-known phenomenon to light. It sounds like you've got some pretty interesting ancestry. Congratulations, and I hope that others will catch on to researching this gem of our world history.
I have been a barber in Nevada for 35 years and I cut many Piaute men's hair.. I have heard the stories about the red haired giants for many years. The older ones told me the giants ate some of their great,great grand parents and the story about going to Lovelock to kill them is absolutley true (according to many of these men)
Garry
This is an incredibly written, very interesting subject. In fact it has sparked my curiosity to search for more information on this. Welcome to Hubpages and thank you for the interesting HUB.
Very interesting hub' Thanks for sharing. regards Zsuzsy
Carol thank you for personal confirmation of hearing the same story first hand from the Paiute Indians. I was a kid when it was told to me. That is good stuff. If you can get any more stories I would be interested in hearing them. Take a recorder to work.
Thank you In The Doghouse and Zsuzsy Bee for taking time to comment. It makes me very happy that you enjoyed it.
Hi Gary
This is not a very good Hub, this is an EXCELLENT HUB. Your whole story beggers belief as you say, but the fact that there is still more unearthed facts you have not shared has me even more curious to know more.
I understand your families worries and let's face facts...there is an awful lot of covering up going on in every country that governments don't want their subjects, or even the rest of the world to know.
Historical solid proof...should not be hidden away...hopefully the human race will one day become intelligent enough to want the truth...the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
To your Braveness and continued Success Gary!
Steve
This is a very entertaining article. I don't necessarily agree with the editorial in your comments, but it's cool to let myself believe these remains might be waiting all over the world in unkempt dustbowl roadstops and strange foreign museums. There's a Lovecraftian element to the way this article is written that makes it sound like the journal of an average, curious man before he makes some terrifying discovery and goes totally insane. ;D
WOW! Amazing and fascinating! Great Job!
This is the most interesting Hub I have read to date. Awesome work you did here. Thank you for sharing. l
Very interesting... Yao Ming is one of them..
Really nice.. Thank You for putting it up here.
Wow. What a fascinating hub. Thanks for all your work here. You obviously spent a lot of time doing research and writing. The result is excellent. Thanks again!
Interesting article... I have to wonder though, the term "giant" seems very relative. Afterall, the normal height of a man depends on the general area of his birth, so a man 5'6" could be tall or short depending on the area.
And most of the tribes and places you mention are quite secluded or un-integrated, so you have "controller genes" that are defects continuing through generations.
Extreme tallness is still not the norm )hence the word 'extreme'), just as football players are not "bred" and shuttle astronauts must be shorter than 6'2".
Without intonation and body language it is hard to determine a person’s attitude just by the written word. Read the following hearing me with a friendly tone. It could easily be interpreted as sarcastic and angry, that is not how I feel or think. I appreciate it when anyone shares their thoughts on this. Please hear it as freindly and playful.
Yes, you are correct, it is absolutely relative. If I’m 12 foot tall and everyone I know is around the same height, then we are normal. If I find a 6 foot tall man he would be a pigmy. Now, at 12 foot tall am I a greater giant to a 5 foot pigmy than I am to a 6 foot pigmy, and which one do you trust to decide if I’m a giant or not? Especially when it’s so obvious that I’m not a giant, they are just pigmies. Yup, it’s all relative.
You can call them people of extreme tallness if that makes you feel more comfortable, it makes no difference to me.
Remains of people of extreme tallness have been found worldwide, not just in the few spots that I have mentioned, some in mass graves with hundreds of skeletons. It should be noted that I’m not talking about gigantism as in a deformed human who suffers from a growth disorder. I’m talking about races of people who were well built agile and healthy but of a very large size compared to us.
As far as secluded or un-integrated tribes. The people that I’m talking about are the Polynesians and the American Indians neither were isolated. Pick up the latest national geographic and you will find a great article on how far and wide the Polynesians went in the world.
American Indians knew of Africans, Asians and Caucasians long ago, in Peru you can see ancient sculptures of all of them. There is even a sculpture of a North American Apache Indian wearing an Apache headdress, and a Viking with beard and horned helmet. I have seen them with my own eyes. Old school science hates this sort of thing because of their baby, known as isolationism. I’m not sure what sort of gene defect would produce a 12 foot, red-haired, white skinned, blue eyed man from a 5’6” black-haired, dark skinned, brown eyed man, but anything is possible. Who am I to argue, After all I’m talking about people of extreme tallness.
Excellent info Gary! My son and I have watched a few shows on TV about very large humans, but the focus has been more geared toward a rare disorder that I believe they called giantism.
I for one am intrigued and would love to hear more.
I thought I just have to read a paragraph then get back to work but when I finished the first I could not stop till I finish your hub.. very interesting and intriguing. I could be true you know, we all have history lessons and we know that once earth are filled with giants like dinosaurs, or the latest the mamoths, so it would be unfair that these creature are so huge but men are so small, dont you think?
This is so interesting. I just read another article (I believe it was a hub) about a race before humans that had bigger heads, and were probably more intelligent.
This was a fascinating hub especially in light of the fact that I learned of similar findings recently in the islands of Palau. My dad who is an architect there was surveying land when he came upon burial ground. They had people come out to investigate before they went any further and they found the remains of a huge woman whose femur was around 4 feet (don't quote me but it was close to that). They ended up halting any further work on the land and had people come in to investigate further. Dad said there were also old stories that he was told growing up of captains who sailed by Palau and wanted to land on the islands; however because of the size of the inhabitants of Palau, the foreign sailors were afraid to dock. Dad was told that it would have taken ten normal men to contend with one of the giants on our island.
Excellent hub! I have only heard of giants in legends and myths, but you have put together enough evidence to make a compelling argument. Look forward to reading more of your hubs.
Hi The other day me and my friend also discuss giants. Why there aren't any now? Why there is so much sicknesses in the world we never ever heard off. Our forefathers did eat rich fatty meals and they did become real old. So we come to the conclusion that years ago the cattle and herds hasn't been feed with un natural feed sources like they do today. So the human race must check on this problem not only do they destroy the world they destroy themselves.
Regards
Nice Hub, I asked some of the old people about these so called 'red haired giants'. I dont know what was more surprising, your hub or the fact one of our respected elders not only had a name for them but could tell me prominent ancestors who migrated hundreds of years ago to this land through the polynesian islands who were fair, had red hair and were so called giants!?!? I was gobsmacked! He was talking as if it were common knowledge!
Awesome, I think my geneology will unearth more secrets then I ever thought. With new light, the stories of old seem to make sense! My people are from New Zealand! Will definately be researching this more in the near future!
phaesill, supposedly, there is a race of humans in NZ that is not related to the rest of mankind - could this be it, the giants? Or, are there additional people with differences in NZ history? The Smithsonian reported on the non-related NZ humans in 2005 and then the material disappeared from the Internet.
Garry - I heard stories of the red-haired giants when I was a child, but I cannot remember from whom.
Garry, when i was a kid, my mother always told me a lot of giant stories and the most famous of them was Goliath...i can hardly believe what she was telling me about giant people. But as i read your article i start to believe as i look at those pictures.
Well done, my friend!
Nice Hub Garry.
Thank you so much for the comments. It has come to my attention that some people have information on giant remains that they do not want to post here. If you have giant information that you would like to get directly to me and not post publicly you can contact me at giants@projectfreedom.us
Luvnlyf and phaseill I will be getting back in touch with you soon. Thank you for sharing what you know. I consider it very valuable information and will be following up with you. Thank you,Garry Nelson
Very interesting hub Garry - I'm reminded of an email I received back in 2006 - some church friends visited with the 'then tallest man in the world' Leonid Stadnik- he is 8'4" - my friends had this to say about him: he lives in a village in the Ukraine, he is a very nice fellow, he does not drink or smoke and he likes to read his Bible :) there is a photo attached that I could send later. Thanks again for posting such an interesting article - have a good day Garry
Very nice and detailed article. By the way, how tall are you?
Wind chime, I would be very interested in seeing the photo of Mr. Stadnik please do send it along.
Myi4u, I am the runt of the family, I only stand 6 foot tall in my bare feet.
Thank you both for taking the time to comment.
very interesting hub
What a well thought out an informing page you have put together. I have been studying the giants.
I think I saw in an earlier post, someone mentioning the Genesis Account of the "giants" who were produced from the Fallen Angels and Daughters of Men. These were the Nephilim.
Additionally, in the Book of Enoch, Enoch is taken into Heaven and shown how God will send the Flood to wipe out the destruction that is being caused by the Nephilim on earth. Enoch, was Noah's great grandfather.
Also, the account of David and Goliath, is another Biblical story, where after the deluge, a giant has written account.
The children of Anak, or Annakims are said to have been very large.
The original 'account of creation' in the english version of the bible was said to be understood that each day, something was created. Although, in hebrew, the actual word for day, means something like "in this time".
Very nice research!
Very nicely done. Looking forward to more hubs from you. I too think that there are a lot of things that get 'swept under the rug' when it comes to history. Maybe someday they'll be revealed for everyone to see and draw their own conclusions. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this.
ms kim
DedicatedMe has given good biblical names to google if people want to continue research beyond this article. Thank you
ms kim, thank you, I hope that I can find time to put more hubs together. I don’t want to write just to write I want to talk about things that are interesting so it may be a little while.
Again, anyone with sensitive giant info please email me at giants@projectfreedom.us
Cool Hub...ty
I was going to mention the Bible reference, but I see that you have it covered as well. Fascinating stuff!
On the rim of a two UK pound coin it says "standing on the shoulders of giants"..!! i have no idea of it's meaning!
Just thought id add!, anyway, thanks for this hub read..very interesting!
HI GArry--don't know how I missed this one and glad I found it--absolutely fascinating and your personal experiences sound perfectly credible to me and very interesting...especially the South American part. I'm going to google "giants" rightnow and see what comes up and I hope you'll be doing a follow-up hub to this with moire info.
Gary,
This was an amazing hub. I would love to hear more information on the subject. looking forward to reading more of your hubs in the future.
GARRY i LIVE IN NEVADA,AND I HAVE READ ABOUT THE RED HAIRED GAINTS.VERY FASCINATING,AND i TOO WATCHED CREATURE FEATURES!
fantastic job.
now i have some more insights to my research on petroglyphs.
Great Article Great Garry...............................
Fantastic Job done...How u managed to gather these things.I mean how you got these pics.Appreciate your work. http://tinyurl.com/4jwrex
fantastic subject. dont know if i can honetly believe it all. but i rekon you should write a book on the subject.
Gary, I am Paiute and have heard of these giants. I'm from Oregon near the Nevada border and have heard of the Paiutes in Nevada talk of these red-head giants. I heard where these giants lived in caves and did eat some of the Natives. I read an article about them that was published in early 1920's in Humboldt county newspaper. I don't remember the name they gave them, but if you ask a tribal elder in Ft. McDermitt you'll find out. You're right about the remains that were discovered in the caves around Lovelock, the skulls were large and had red hair. In fact, it was also noted that these were not only giants but covered almost completely with red hair (dare I say bigfoot-type animal). It was said they lived completely isolated from the Indians, however, there were also stories of Indians being taken in the middle of the night by these giants and forced to live among them. I had also heard of them being eaten by them as well. It'd be a good idea to look in the archives of newspaper articles in the area to get more info. One of the article was sent to our tribal newsletter from one of our members a few years back, I'll have my sister attain a copy and send it to you!
Hello Violet Moore,
Great to hear from you, I very much look forward to further contact. Please email me at giants@projectfreedom.us so that we can follow up and exchange further contact information.
Thank you,
Garry Nelson
This is amazing!! It makes me think about the book "Kon-Tiki" by Thor Heyerdahl, a man who set out to prove that it was possible that the Pacific Islands were inhabited from South America and not from Asia. He talks of Kon-Tiki, the son of the Sun, with red hair and light skin, who sailed from Peru to various islands, including Easter Island and the Hawaiian Islands. He brought up the fact that some island communities have people with naturally reddish hair and lighter features.
Great Hub. Very fascinating. Have read many a book where they mention the existance of giants throughout history. They are even mentioned in the Bible and other ancient texts. If I'm not mistaken, there are actually drawings that have been found depicting giants. Keep it coming! Thanks.
It chimes with my own experience of seeing a skeleton on a local museum say, a decade ago, of a giant nearly 8ft tall. The strange thing about this guy was he had a ridge going down the centre of his skull of about an inch of solid bone. It looked for all the world as if his head was shaped like an axe. I always wondered what happened to his race or if he was a once-off.
He was about a thousand years old and if memory serves, a Viking. I guess giants were more common then.
Wow, that is a new one on me. I have heard that some of them have double rows of teeth top and bottom as well as six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot with no deformity. Even some found in the USA with horns, but I have never heard of a boney ridge. Where did you see this at?
Thank you
Very interesting article Gary. I enjoyed reading it. Thumbs Up
Fascinating stuff, Garry. I completely believe giants existed. I see what could easily be the descentants of elves, dwarves and even ogres all the time.
PS: Great picture at the top!
i love this hub! and i, too, am looking further into it. thanks!
Dude Gary this is cool...thanks!
Good article brother man
I'm sure if you are actively into researching about giants then you already know many of the controversies and stories about them. Are you aware of the greatly debated conspiracy theory that our american government currently houses and protects entire races of giants that still exist, or otherwise known as "Nephilim"? If you are into the bible and religion or even a skeptical person by nature I'll leave you with this tid bit that'll get your mind going. Research and look into this you'll find it's true. Tell me why every naturally occuring cave or tunnel system that goes beyond the depths of 3 miles into the earth's crust is "classified".
This also opens up a new can of worms with the whackados that believe in reptilian species of aliens that are living beneath our terrain as well. But you will find some evidence and proof of a giant race burried in these little conspiracy theories if you do some digging into our governmentally protected caverns and cave systems. The giants living there are believed by religious types to be the offspring descendants of the sons of God and Daughters of man which were "Nephilim".
I should note that these "giants" are not the type that are usually covered in news stories in which their pituitory gland has a tumor on it which stimulates them to never stop "growing". These giants are the bonefide David and Goliath Nephilim offspring of angels and mankind... if you believe in that sort of thing
fantastic hub, very interesting information thanks :D
Read your Hub the other day ... caught the new Indiana Jones movie tonight and thought of you. Great Hub. Have you looked into Norse mythology for giants? --D.A.
PLM
Thank you for taking the time to write such a long comment. Yes, I know about the Nephilim. I worked with a team for five years that was searching for the Lost City of Atlantis. They believed that Atlantis was built by the Nephilim and had some really interesting items in their possession that made my head spin. They had been on the project for over 20 some years before I came on board, and like the Sumerian texts of the bible they believed that the Nephilim were extraterrestrial. They published a book called Atlantis Motherland. It is a lot to give the average person though. They will discount it fast and declare you as nuts. It is hard enough just talking about races of giants without adding space ships. Look at the poor reception that Indiana Jones just received and they presented that as absolute fiction.
I did not know that there is a suspected government cover up of living giants. The only living giant info I had was the Solomon Islands cave systems. So, thanks for that. I will check into it further.
Despite what I may know of or not, I would encourage people to post any comments or knowledge to better help everyone who may be interested in this subject.
Thank you PLM
Amy,
Thank you very much.
Dorothy,
YOU ARE THE BEST! I was wondering if anyone would watch Indiana Jones and make a connection to my Hub. Thanks for taking the time to come back, find the article and leave a message. Your comment is a nice marker to show that I wrote my article with no knowledge of the movie, long before the movie came out. I would hope that having read my article first may have made the movie a little more enjoyable.
Yes, I have studied the Norse Gods and the giants that they dealt with. I tend to feel that maybe it is an adaptation or even an aside to the Nephilim and their descendants stories that the Sumerian texts of the bible talk about.
Thank you
I lived in California for a few years, and heard about the red haired giants too. I always thought it was a myth.I can't get over that 47 inch Femur.Great hub, thanks for all the info!
Wow, too cool. So why would these giants have vanished? Genetics?? Seems odd that they wouldnt have reproduced enough to propagate.
Nice Hub!
Yep their the Nephilim Gen 6:1-20.
WE have giants now-a-days. they're all in the NBA...or have been diagnosed with thyroid problems.
Hi Gerry, thank you for pointing me to this wonderfully rich hub about human giants. I feel quite comfortable in 'modern human giants' company. My wish to be a tall man (around 6.4) hasn't been fulfilled, though. From my personal experience I need to say, that they are very nice people, who are very committed to their work and very loyal to their friends, as well (only my personal HR experiences in my own company).
I absolutely agree, that there were very many different human species throughout the history of life on earth. From the largest giants to the tiniest ones. It seems, that these days we are the only 'human species', which have managed to survive the natural selection.
I think it fascinating - Giants! and many are about the earth today. Hope to meet one or more. Reminds me of the Lord of the Rings trolls.

Wow Garry, what an intriguing article!
When I was a kid a friend of the family came for a visit that was 7'1.5" tall. Being little myself, he was a giant to me. My parents happened to be painting the outside of the house while he was visiting and he offered to help. At over seven feet, his arms were over 3 feet long and therefor he had a reach of almost ten feet! This meant he could reach right up into the eaves of the house without needing a ladder, which was good because he didn't like ladders... he was afraid of heights!
