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 Solomon 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.
Giantism is not unfamiliar in other species both mammilian and reptilian. Many giant species of mammals have lived and become extinct. An explaination was put forth in a recent show on giant dinosaurs. That was food was so plentiful and easy to obtain, that more of the caloric intake could be put to growing large (I suppose over generations rather than just getting fat) rather than being expended in the pursuit of more food. We see this in one or two generations of immigrants to the US where the kids are already several inchs taller on average than their parents, due I would guess to the better diet and more plentiful supply.
What might this say about the origin of giants if they were indeed cannibalistic?
Fantastic! The best hub I've read so far. It makes me wonder whether these people still exist in isolated pockets, although such areas are becoming rarer and rarer, or whether they reached an accomodation with other native species, and gradually bred out. I live in the UK, and many of my family are tall, red-haired, or blonde. I always assumed that we had a big whack of viking heritage somewhere in our gene pool, but who knows!
This is truly amazing. And its so odd that i discover all this at a time where I'm questioning everything around me. My friend mentioned the giant humans to me once a few days ago and i decided to do some research. She told me about the giant femur and here i stand, shocked at what I'm seeing. Because of this hub my suspicions on history are clarified. That nothing really ever is at its made out to be. How come the media shuns these discoveries? They would totally debunk the basis for evolution (which I've always considered man-made b.s.) But I do believe in natural selection, which is what sprung modern day humans. Come to think of it, most animals back in the day were giants. Saber-toothed tigers? Mammoths? Dinosaurs? All giants. And giant bugs i'm sure. So who's to say the same didn't go for humans?
And yes, this hub did indeed remind me of the Indiana Jones movie. It brought me right back to it before i even read the comment about it. This is an amazing discovery! Thank you for this enlightening piece!
HAWAIIAN GIANTS ARE REAL,GRANDFATHER WAS 8 FEET 6 AND 3 FOURTHS,CAPTAIN JAMES COOK WAS KILLED BY KAHAHANA,WHO STOOD 9 FEET 6 INCHES TALL AT NAPOOPOO,HAWAII.KING KAMEHAMEHA'S PERSONAL BODY GUARDS WERE 9 FOOTERS THEMSELVES.PLEASE DON'T GO BACK TO OLOWALU THE MANA IS TOO STRONG.
I would suggest researching more about Solomon Giants. There's no fire but there's smoke I think. Interesting if you read about the WWII memorial and the strange statue. Could anyone who lives there take a photo of it already?
whan i was ten years old i was six foot one and told that i might grow to be a giant,so i told all my friends,cause they tested me for hours that i would be a giant some day,now im 26 and ive only grown one inch since i was ten.atleast im healty,thank for the great story
I think you're on to something with your research and well written article. It does not surprise me that every day and in various parts of the globe, evidence supporting Biblical claims of giants, ect. is found. Keep up the good work
This does nothing more than perpetuate myths and stories thus continuing to hide any truth to whether a giant species existed. For the world of science to keep this hidden is plain silly. There is no earthly, governmental or spiritual reason to keep anything like this a secret. The fact is there have been tall people and groups of people have been considered giants. This is not special. At 5' anyone 6' or more would be considered a giant. In our modern world we have such a diverse height that we no longer consider anyone like that to be a giant.
I believe the author may truly have had a tall relative and very possible as tall as he says. The story then breaks down from there. It is not too difficult to grab resources and list them. The truth is it is far easier to exaggerate than to provide all of the truth and facts.
Thank you William.
Ok, folks I had to break this one down. First William then me.
William: This does nothing more than perpetuate myths and stories thus continuing to hide any truth to whether a giant species existed.
Garry says: I’m glad you believe that giants existed but I doubt if never talking about it would speed up the revealing of any truths. That is a very interesting way to think.
William: For the world of science to keep this hidden is plain silly.
Garry says: I absolutely agree!
William: There is no earthly, governmental or spiritual reason to keep anything like this a secret.
Garry says: You nailed it, no earthly reason. I absolutely agree again!
William: The fact is there have been tall people and groups of people have been considered giants. This is not special.
Garry says: Wow, I agree again!
William: At 5' anyone 6' or more would be considered a giant.
Garry says: Way cool, I’m a giant!
William: In our modern world we have such a diverse height that we no longer consider anyone like that to be a giant.
Garry says: Bummer, I’m not a giant. In all honesty R Pseudomen and I covered this same subject above with the issue of people of extreme tallness. Thanks again to R Pseudomen.
William: I believe the author may truly have had a tall relative and very possible as tall as he says.
Garry says: Yeah, someone believes me!
William: The story then breaks down from there.
Garry says: What?
William: It is not too difficult to grab resources and list them.
Garry says: Boy, isn’t that the truth, makes you wonder why with all the great giant info on the net I would have picked the few tiny things that only related to me and my life? Yeah, I know a few didn’t but hey some things needed to be said. In fact that is my most emailed question why didn’t I put in more resources. Besides, what about the not so easy to grab resource of going all the way to Peru to see with my own eyes actual giant skeletons and skulls?
William: The truth is it is far easier to exaggerate than to provide all of the truth and facts.
Garry says: Yup, true again, and it is even easier to just denounce things we don’t understand than do any research or work on our own. It is far easier to destroy than to create. It has always been like that.
Listen, I don’t want to convert anyone to anything. If you don’t believe what I say, it’s ok, you don’t have to. I’m sure we will both survive. This is not my life, my religion, or my politics, it is a hobby that I enjoy. I expected far more criticism than I have received. Many people who have commented don’t believe my story, but they have been very polite and kind with their comments. I’m telling an interesting story based around events that are pertinent to me. No one should spend a single moment stressed over it. If it is not your thing don’t read, surf on.
Thank you for taking the time William
Garry Nelson
Some of the "evidences" given are very poor. No doubt there have been folks who where quite tall but let's not get carried away and believe ever tale ever spoken.
Nice! If only some of the evidence is poor, that suggests most of the evidence is good.
No, let’s not believe every tale. I like the open mind not an empty head recommendation given by many wise people.
Thank you,
Garry Nelson
Years ago, there was a highway construion job in Alask, in which some human remains were found. The Skulls were 24 inchs across. But those Humans remains were disposed of by those who did not want this discovery to be made known. The point here is, that the gaints were here and they did truely walk upon the face of this world !
Garry, I called the Humboldt museum to see if I could stop by for a visit and view this giant jawbone. This older lady (Mrs. Larson) answered the phone. She's lived in Winnemucca all her life and she oversees the museum. She says she has no awarenss of there ever having been this display, nor does the museum have any jawbone which dwarfs a human jaw (such as in your photo). Do you have any info about this? What's your take?
Hello Fred,
I will contact the gentleman who took the photo and get the name of the Museum curator who was in charge at that time. We can work our way back from there, or forward as the case may be.
I will post what he says here.
Thank you,
Garry Nelson
I want to thank you,it was while searching Giants that I found this site,if not I would never had found Hubpages
Very interesting!! Love this topic!! Someone else that is interesting to read or listen to is Stephen Quayle. Also check out Coast to Coast AM, That show talks about giants and the Nephilim quite often...always a great show! Garry, you sound like you would be very interesting in a radio interview. You have to get a hold of George Noory (george@coasttocoastam.com) and see if he'll have you on the air!
Thanks for your time!
I'm from South Australia, and I would like to say, that both Colonial and Aboriginal lore talk about giants of various kinds. Aboriginal legend talks about the race of hairy giants who they waged war with during ancient times. Apparently, there was a giant, hairy man that was brought back to England by colonists from Botany Bay, he was much like a Negro, except very hairy and very big.
Also, I've done some online research, trying to filtre out the less likely, purely mythical claims. Yes, Mainstream Science and Mainstream Religion have alot to lose when races of Giants are indeed verified. But Skeptics and Conspiracy Theorists aside, I believe, wholehaertedly that Giants existed in the past, at the very least. Any medical anomalies and disorders, or plain luck that occur give us a modern, shocking glimpse into just what is really posible in the human body.
My main idea is that, if there is a Myth about something, it had to start somewhere. The ever-elusive 'grain of truth', which I'm happy to say is more apparent these days. All too often, true natural occurences are often fobbed off by science as 'freaks', or as mere footnotes of little importance.
The Fossil record has surprising consistency with this. A type of Hominid called "Meganthropus" or Homo erectus paleojavanicus (google those), is known from skullcaps and other fragments, indicating the largest ancient human. Russian Georgia also has a fossil jaw that very well may be the largest early human on record. The size is hard to estimate, but they definately were taller or more robust than us at the least.
Bigfoot and the Yeti, are noteworthy, as they are reported as 9 and 10 feet tall. Though a hairy man may be different from a giant man.
I'd like to say that this hub is a Godsend, an actual firsthand account of good research regarding giants, as opposed to hard-to-reference souces that the internet seems to be full of. This hub is fun-on-a-bun.
GOOD STUFF!
Right on, Tim Morris! I just wish that somewhere and somehow I could lay my own eyes on any kind of "giant" bones or remains. I know they're out there somewhere. In fact, I telephoned the Nevada State Historical Society in reference to this report about Paiute natives...and the curator confessed (grudgingly) that they do indeed have "giant" bones in storage, but that...ahem....they are not allowed out to the public because of possible lawsuits from native Americans.
I thought that was an extraordinary concession from a museum curator...and also a very strange excuse about keeping these under lock and key. As Ivan Sanderson once said--"Is it that these people are so afraifd of re-writing all the textbooks?" I think the real reasons are considerably less savory.
Anyway, I have to believe somebody has artifacts in their private collection. I may yet travel to Nevada in a quest!
There have been enough very large skeletons found, encluding those in Turkey in the 1950's to verify that there were giants living some time ago.These are all human, not some lower kind of a living being. It's strange why they are so hard to find in museums, especially in the united states. Yet on the other hand, a "doctored up" ape skull shows up here and there, along with some drawings, to try to make it look like humans developed from something other than a man and woman.
Great hub!! I have always been intrigued with the Anasazi of the Southwest. Their rock art has some very interesting figures though in this case I do not think giants but something different none the less. I do believe there is a lot more to learn about the history of our planet.
Ever heard of canopy theoy? I think ancient humans were alot larger than they are today and lived longer. Personally I think the atmosphere is thnning and the magnetfield is getting weaker and we are getting smaller along with everything else in this world. I believe we are living in a dying world. I do not Buy into evolution. Hyperbaric earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, great hub Garry!!!
I have been also very interested in the Bible and its hidden secrets. Of course, you might have heard of the apocrypha books, that were removed from the Bible because they were too confusing. Well, if you start by reading Genesis, the confusion starts here: if Adam and Ever were the only people on Earth, whom did Cain marry again??? The Bible states that outside the Paradise, there were already other people populating the Earth, and that they were giants. If you want to read up more on the giants, then just look up the book of Enoch. That is a fascinating surreal book, straight out of the bible. Most of the ancient cultures also relate the existence of giants. There have been lots of sites where giants have been dug up. But on top of that, and this is what is really interesting, Hitler and his men tried doing genetic experiments using prisoners and "pure blooded" men and women. His idea of the Superior Species was actually an attempt at recreating giants. I know I saw this really well explained in an amateur site. But the information it contained I looked it up elsewhere, and it all adds up. As soon as I find it again, I will post it if it's ok with you.
Be well... and stay curious!
Marie
Garry,
Check out the DVD from the evangelist Perry Stone titled "Fallen Angels, Giants, and Evil Spirits". It is very well done on this subject. I really enjoyed your site.
I think the "proof" is pretty poor. If we accept that kind of proof, then we also have to accept that bigfoot, sasquatch (if that's how you write it), the yeti, alien abductions, loch ness and britney spears are real.
some years ago, i stumbled upon the Cardiff Giant in a museum up north somewhere, maybe upstate new york. my kids could not understand my delight in actually seeing the famous stone giant, one of the famous hoaxes of the late 19 century
Muchas I did enjoy reading this and appreciate the obvious work and passion that went into it I still have to make the observation that you have not been able to produce anything like real proof. The "giant jaw, and the modern human jaw appear very different in size until you realize that the modern human jaw is only a cast of the actual tooth area and is sitting lower on the table. When you allow for that they turn out to be pretty much the same size. The picture of the "giant" leg bone, once you read the caption is not an actual one or fossile. It's an artist's representation of what he thinks a leg that big would look like after hearign that one that size was once found. I thought you did a very good job on this, (loved the first picture,where the heck did you come across it?) and there is no denying that it's food for thought. All the same, without anything like serious evidence to back up these claims I'm afraid that giants will have to remain the stuff of fantasy.
Actually, I have plenty of evidence. The giant remains in the Peruvian Museums are more than enough, and anyone can go see them first hand, as I did. I have also contacted the gentleman who photographed the giant jaw and he is providing me with all of his photographs, including the entire story and photographs of the complete skull and jaw, and his correspondence with the museum curator of the time. He says that the molars of the giant jaw are a minimum of three times larger than the molars of the dental cast. Which looks about right, even if you consider that the casting may be sitting an inch or so lower. Compare the size of the teeth. I also know exactly where the skull is stored. Though I’m afraid that people contacting the museum because of this article has actually hurt my efforts in getting to take my own photographs and measurements. (This is part of the reason that my new discoveries are not posted yet.) On another note, since writing this article many interesting people have come forward and contacted me because of what was written here? (giants@projectfreedom.us)I have far more evidence now than what was written about in this article and it is concrete, and I didn’t give everything the first time for fear of ridicule.
The best stuff I'm still finding outside of the good old USA.
I do realize that you could whack some people upside the head with a giant human femur and they still would not believe in giants, and that is fine. I do this for me.
You can always downplay anything and many people derive tremendous pleasure in doing so. Trust me, that is a lot easier than trying to do what I’m doing.
The opening image was made by my evil twin specifically for this article. Good of him to come through for me.
My apologies to the people who have commented and I have not responded, I’m trying to get the money together for another expedition and have been painfully busy. There is a lot out there and life is short.
What a fabulous article. I have been interested in giants, to a degree, since I come from a family that has many extremely tall members. I have a cousin that is 7'4" and his father was 7'2". My own father was almost 6'3". Many of the men in my family are over 6'2". So are a couple of my female relatives. I am only 5'8", but my daughter is 5'9" and her father is almost 6'5". Only after reading your article, it dawned on me, that both my fathers family and my daughter's father's family are of red headed stock. Very interesting!! I am going to find out more about this and hopefully, maybe I can find something that could possibly help prove that giants were a race of people and not just freaks of human nature. Thanks so much Garry!!!!
Giants... I thought we killed them all!!! well, you look like a nice one, good job.
Garry-I am greatly anticipating your next chunk of information. One question of clarification: I am assuming this gigantic jawbone is no longer on public deisplay. Or is it? I live in California and I would definitely make the trip to Nevada at some point, in order to see something like this.
Actually Fun Guy, I don't believe they have ever been on display. The museums have them, but they are not for the public to see. The jaw bone that is in the photograph is from a complete skull but they are both kept locked up in a cabinet in the back. Even if you were allowed to wander around behind the scenes you would not see it, and I'm afraid that this article has caused quite a few people to hound the museum about the skull, hurting my chances of getting to examine it. I'm holding back the new information I have until I have exhausted what I can get from the research before presenting it to the public.
I'm writing a book on this. I'm trying to take video when I can as well, just in case enough is gathered for a documentary. The documentary is a big maybe but the book is very likely and already under way. As with everything it is always about funding and not many philanthropists are stepping up to give money to giant hunters. Not that I would know where to find a philanthropist anyway. So, I’m bootstrapping it. As you might guess there is a lot of travel involved as I don’t want to do only document research I want to be on site.
Thank you very much for your interest.
Again if anyone has any personal giant information or research they believe I should see email me at giants@projectfreedom.us
Well, I can admit to one short 5-minute phone call to a "historical society"...but I hadn't perceived myself as part a pack of 'hounding' pranksters. :-) I simply wanted to take my home-schooled son up to Nevada with the hope of viewing some actual artifacts or remains. The curator I spoke with ever so briefly didn't seem nervous or stressed. Our conversation was pleasant. She did grudgingly (as I would describe it) acknowledge having the remains of giant humanoids in their 'vaults'. I thought that was an extraordinary concession. I can reveal the exact museum (though you probably already know it) if you wish.
You say you're looking for any added info about "giant" remains/artifacts: I went to the trouble of networking my way (by phone) into the Lovelock community...speaking with a number of regular citizens. I had a 'contact' in Lovelock that opened that door--folks who were around Lovelock in the 70s. when the Horseshoe Cave was explored by a "Mr. Loud". One local guy told me that one of the people who supposedly had some artifacts in his private possession had his house burned down. Rather "unfortunate". There seems to be a lot of those kinds of misfortunes in relation to this subject matter. I couldn't locate anyone else who had an artifact or remains in their private possession.
FunGuy, I apologize if I gave you the feeling that my comment about hounding appeared directed at you. It was not. I would do the exact same thing myself and I do not blame anyone for taking things into their own hands. I just learned a lesson to work things out to my own satisfaction before passing on what I know publicly.
Congratulations I home school my son also.
Please don't name the museum yet. I'm still working to get my own pictures and measurements and would like to keep it down until I can or until I give up on the idea.
Yes, I heard about the fire of the private collection. You are quite right about the misfortunes and not just in Nevada. The remains of the giants back at the time of removal from the cave were stored in a shed that promptly burned down destroying all the mummies. The skull that my article shows the jaw from was actually found years later outside the cave, after heavy wind had move the dirt around exposing it. Fortunately the giants artifacts that were found in the cave were not burned, including the huge stone disk with 365 markings on it.
Hello,my name is Septimius and i'm from Romania.I read your article and i want to say that giant skeletons have beed found in my country in a few places along the Carpathian mountains, around the middle of the 20th century.The skeletons were between 2.5-4 meters tall.However whitneses tell that almost all the skeletons were taken by the authoryties and nobody heard anything since. We also have legends about giants in the folklore,we name them "jidovi" who lived in the mountains and wheren't very friendly.Also my father told me that when he was in the army in 1976 he had a coleague who came from Retezat Mountains (part of southern carpathians),and he was 2.20m tall and very muscular and strong.He presented no diformities neither of his face or his body,(i'm a medic and from my father description i conclude that his former coleague was genetically giant,he had no pituitary problems).He could lift alone an ammuniton crate on one shoulder with no problems,and that crate could be only lifted by 6 men.After a month he was recruted by the special forces,and nobody heard from him again.
ps. please excuse my english
Great Hub! I had no idea about giants like that. i just know from what i see on the discovery or history channel.
This blew my mind a tiny bit, and that's not easy to do. I believe "bigfoot" is a probable uncategorized animal. But Giants and Small people have never really struck my interest. However, I'd never heard stories of the red haired giants. I think you've put me onto a new study! Thanks :-)
Very interesting information. Thanks for your great hub.
A tall tale, very good
hey garry!
love ur article!even i could not belive it too....but when i saw the pics
i think i almost belive it but......it was really great..........i just wanna know is that really true?
ROCK ON!!dude
kyle
awsome article..really enjoyed reading it...made me think!
Hello Kyle,
I can understand your skepticism but I did not write this article to make fools of anyone. I believe what I have written to be true.
That's an increadible article... reminds me of some stories I've heard from my elders about Giants around our territory.
I'm from Trinidad & Tobago I really enjoyed reading what you had, i love learning about giants, i normailly use youtube to find them...thanks
I look forward to more information on this subject as well as to your book in the future. I'm remembering a great uncle from the Native American mixed side of the family - he was 7 feet tall. Still cannot recall where I heard about the red-haird giants as a child, but it may have been in old family conversations.
I find this most fascinating and believable too. Keep up the hunt.
hi garry, i recently became aware and interested in the red-haired giants and tried to print out your article on them. for some reason my computer would not print beyond the first page. do you have a book or can you suggest a way i can get what you have written on the giants. thank you, and are you still researching the subject. jim falk
Hello,
I would suggest that you copy and paste into a Microsoft word document. You can then save it and print it as you please. You can copy and paste the words or the words and images.
I'm writing a book but nothing has been published yet. It is slow because I'm trying to go on location to each site. I don't want to just write about what I find on the net.
There are more Red Haired giant discoveries in Nevada and California than what I have mentioned and much of it is online so poke around. Also giants in Arizona
Yes, always researching.
You can contact me at giants@projectfreedom.us
Makes me wonder why the US of A would attempt to hide this rich history from us. Perhaps, we might start asking what else they may be hiding, hmm?
Hey Garry. Great info.
It's important for people to understand that these were not just freakishly tall individuals with endocrine dissorder, but were entire ethnic groups of very tall people. AKA a race of giants.
As to the size of the skull at the Humboldt museum, Readers digest mysteries of the unexplained p 41. describes it as about 12" tall with an 8 1/4 inch mandible.
Most people have jaws that are something like 5 to 6 inches wide, between TMJs. 8 and 1/4 is what anthropologists would classify as "robust" -- because the term "gigantic" would flutter the feathers of any university.
So if you put flesh and hair on this skull, you'd have a 13+ inch tall head with 9 1/2" wide cheeks, and multiply this by a ratio of 8, you have an 9 foot tall man.
Gary
Fascinating to say the lest. I would like to point out that there is evidence that the nephilim are from somewhere else, if you except the bible you will find that the Israelites had to battle the nephilim for the land of milk and honey. This is well after the great flood destroyed all but Noah and his family
Gary,
You most likely heard of the Tall Red headed and blond headed man and woman found here in Utah. It is incredible the amount of proof that is out there but nobody listens! Why hide this fantastic information from the public? It should be out there for all of us to see and to study!
As late as 1955, Nevada Newspapers were still reporting these giant Red-headed mummies and skeletons, but by 1976 the State Archaeologists essentially declared the entire idea as non-sense. Somewhere between 1955 and 1976, a genuine cover-up occurred -- any possibility of them being tall people was considered hog wash. Some of these extra large bones were declared "cow bones" and written off entirely by archaeologists.
But what was published in the 1952 Nevada State Journal cannot be so easily covered-up:
"This same type of weaving may be seen in sev-eral sandals in the museum's exhibit. One is over 15 inches long, substantiating the myths handed down in the Piute tribe that these people were "giants." A jaw-bone, twice the size of modern man's, and skeletons recovered measured six feef to nine feet, give definite con-firmation of the "giant" stories."
There you have it.
All you're answer are in the Quran.......
wat so fuss bout it. giant or no giant, they do existed even nowadays. look for nba players. any 5 foot players around? bullshit science. blind with facts.
Oh, just so readers are up to date. A 15 1/2 inch sandal would roughly equal a size 21 US men's shoe (39 cm). I believe this artifact is at the museum in Carson city, Nevada. Even with the absence of skeletons, the very "slippers" these people wore should make one scratch their head. Yes, these Lovelock cave men were giants, 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall or more, if the sandals are any indication.
By the way, hundreds of giant skeletons had been found off the coast of California, Santa Monica beach, the channel Islands, and specifically Santa Catalina Island. Indeed, under the excavations of professor Ralph Glidden who collected the remains of 3,781 aboriginal persons, he was able to determine the average stature of the men as being around 7 feet tall, but the largest he found was of a man 9 feet 2 inches tall. Some of these remains still possessed blondish hair attached to the skull, and were dubbed "White Indians."
I lived in Am.Samoa for 4 years. I saw a the back of my Uncles' place a giant stone altar, further up the dirt track I saw Giant graveyards (the smallest 12', the biggest 21' and still the people don't want to acknowledge the DAMN thing. A giant elephant in the back yard. I was 12 years old at the time back in 1969.
I really enjoyed your hub. It's a great read and very interested. Some people just don't want to believe in certain things because of the fear of not knowing and not being able to explain it all away, but I for one believe you. Great job, maybe you should look into this yourself, for research and make it an occupation? I don't know, just suggesting.
Do you know about a guy named Steve Quayle who has done research on giants? These things no doubt existed and surely would have some remain in remote places. These giants have a supernatural origin and are not friendly to people. They are very strong beyond belief probably. I believe they had six toes and six fingers. And they had two rows of teeth. It is rumored that one giant was killed in Afghanistan by US soldiers. It was estimated to be about 12 feet tall and weighed 1100 pounds.
wow 0_o
Garry, excellent work! Some people would find it quite hard to believe, but I am confident that they have existed. If we can have giant Mammoths and the likes of Sabertooth tigers, I just don't see why gaint humans could not exist. Giants are explained in biblical texts. It even explains this in the Quran and the people of AAD, which were a race of ginats. My common sense belief is that its kind of logical for giants to exist. If you reflect on monuments the kind of likes of stonehenge and pyramids, kind of gives it away. Good job Garry, keep up the good work.
search Youtube for "giants of India"
Very well written hub .....
very much informative ......
Thank you very much for your great hub, for good advice, good wishes and support. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.
Beforeour moon, in the lost past, the giants were our masters... but in the fall of 3th moon they disapear or mutate in monsters... the age of humans lonely began... our history just began...
Amazing information, but I don't really understand why reports and artefacts of giants are being hushed up? If they are part of our past, we should explore all the evidence and get as much information as possible
loved it! I did'nt know about this and will be looking into it more now, thanks Nell
There's a little book that was written in 1601 called "Travels of Noah into Europe". It says in it that Noah was a giant and, as everyone already knows, the Titans were giants. Turns out, if this book is to be believed, they were sons of Noah. I don't believe being large makes a man nephilim in the angelic sense. I believe we'll find that they existed before the flood and were wiped out in the flood. They also existed after the flood. It's genetics. The folks at the beginning were genetic muts, creating much diversity. We are pure breeds today. You can't make a pure breed into anything other than what it is. Because of the genetic purity, inbreeding was fine, and there are lots of examples in history of folks who married in their own family. Read Abraham / Sarah, half siblings, Osiris / Isis, siblings.
I have also been reading many other historians. Pliny, Diodorus, and Strabo, with many others of that same time, say that the world was spherical. Even Atlas (who was a real man) is depicted holding up a globe. Ancient man traveled the world. Actually Pliny talks about a sailor who went from Spain to Etheopia around the horn of Africa. http://old.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Per
How much further is it to South America?
Giants were real in history. They were defeated in Europe by Osiris and Hercules. It's a shame modern historians throw out the baby with the bathwater on this.
I read comments that there is a conflict between the church and the evidence. There is not. As long as people read the evidence through the proper lens, it all fits nicely together. You don't investigate a crime scene and ignore the eye witnesses.
Amazing, a message board that doesn't require you to sign up??
Brian Forbes, I was pondering the genetic aspect of this on the drive home yesterday, and given the evidence mentioned all through this page, I believe you are on the right track. Even if Noah was not a "Giant" (Not saying he was or was not) He would likely carry the genes that could spawn a giant, as his family would also carry these genes. And if one was born and met a giant of the other sex, well eventually....
As far as those who wonder at why the Governments are making physical evidence vanish, well obviously they are well aware of their existence. Some research into Petroglyphs in America will yield evidence of the same coverup by our Government. Aliens? Well at least there are true pictures of giant skeletons, so I won't touch upon the Alien aspect.
Gary, I salute you Sir. You have put together a remarkable page with actual information, not conjecture. I will gladly buy your book, so please post here when it is published. I see I have much research before me, being of Dutch decent and my family a fairly recent immigrant to America (Early 1900's). As well as living in Louisiana, a land where virtually no Native people live, I was unaware of these Giants in American history, but I am unaware no longer.
hello evryone
i am hesham,egyptian in argentina.i just wanted to share my little thoughts in this matter as i am so interested in this subject..so pls forgive me if i will cause you some headache..:)
This might solve the mistry of building the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.. people of ancient Egypt were small like us,while hights of the building they left where so high.i do not think they were so extravagant to waste all this energy while they were struggling to survive in the desert and get flooded by the nile evry year..these giant buildings must have been built by people of the same proportion , the ancient egyptians we all know lived in homes of adobe..used very simple tools of wood or metal and used pottery jars for storage.. and they can not face the challenge of constructing SUCH huge structures ...
i think evrything is proportional and those who built those STRUCTURES (the so called pharaonic temples and pyramids) where not the recent pharaonic era people we used to think..i think the history of egypt has to be rewritten and gets cleaned from the fiction tales of those who call themselves egyptologists , archiologists and historians.
also the size of man is realy declining and this phenomena is so clear and does not need any research or complex science.also look at the chiwaa dog and the great dan..the mexican man and the new yourker or the amazonian and the russian or german..u can notice the difference right away..
nice hub .you are professional
What could I say that has not already been said. I love the hub, good job. Chris
indeed. to 2 above me. the sphinx in egypt was not built by "pharoahs". the head is less wethered than the body, even though the body was buried in sand and not exposed to as much elements. the present head could have been carved from the original to resemble the ruling pharoh. the pyramids/sphinx are positioned so they correlate to the orion constellation. they could have been built around the time(here it gets technical and i dont quite completely understand, but something to the effect) that orion was in the sky called the astrological age, ~10-15 thousand years ago. and it was the time of the constellation Leo the lion. so the original head of the sphinx could be a lion. build during that period, way before "ancient egyptians".

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!
