Giants, the men of renown

[pong]

I'm still waiting for the episode devoted to giants. Steve Quayle and David Childress could furnish the expert commentary. There's enough mystery and history on this topic for two shows, at least. It's fascinating how the giants tie into the ancient history of North/South America, megalithic structures, the Bible, worldwide myth and legend, archeological cover-up and even UFOs. Steve Quayle and others say that giants are living in the Solomon Islands today. Paracast alumnus Klaus Dona is also on the trail of the giants. This could be a hell-of-a-show. Gene, are you listening? (The 2011 episode with Scott Alan Roberts was the only other show to scratch the surface on this topic.)

Giant Skull Found Where ?​

Is that skull for real? I've heard of shrunken heads, not the other way around.

Hm. Is it only my eyes or does the asian giant in the first picture look slightly more blurry than the two smaller guys? Maybe he's been slightly enlarged? Altough he's obviously quite large. I think the tallest man in the world now is also Chinese, they seem to have this once in a while. I wonder if it's genetic or some kind of gland malfunction?

Don't know about these excavation pics either. These giant skulls or skeletons turn up on the internet again and again, but are never substantiated or totally debunked. Could be photoshop, of course. Especially when the article talks about nephilim or annunaki and other nonsense, fakery is clearly an option.

I found debunking for a couple of other photos here: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/giant-skeleton.html

Here's an excellent article by Micah Hanks: http://micahhanks.com/conspiracy-2/big-buried-secrets-giant-skeletons-and-the-smithsonian/

Sounds like it would be an interesting show if they could get a solid guest or two on it. Hell, it's more believable than the djinn stuff. Just hope it doesn't devolve into a mirror of all the tired Nephilim from the bible being ancient aliens crap.

I would like a show about ancient history that is not ancient aliens.

As with UFOs, one of the most fascinating aspects of the giants mystery is the cornucopia of documented evidence sitting in newspaper archives, here and in other countries. Here's some clippings that can also be seen at the first posted link.

I fail to find anything compelling about old newspaper articles. If I produce a clipping that says Hilary Clinton had an alien baby, does that mean it actually happened? Of course not, but that seems to be the position that some people are taking on this issue. It's nothing but tabloid journalism before tabloids were popular and there are countless examples of the practice in old newspapers. If there is a race of giants living in the Solomon Islands, how about bringing one back so we can see them, or how about just a blood sample or a skin scraping for genetic analysis, that will end the debate right there, but of course that will never happen because they don't exist. There are always going to be genetic outliers in every population, but there is no real evidence for a race of giants and there never has been, at least to my knowledge. The Micah Hanks article was pretty good and I would argue that the skeptical response was even better, it's not hard to see where these claims are coming from, conspiracy theorists and biblical literalists who are so disappointed by the lack of evidence for their claims that they've taken to manufacturing "evidence" themselves.

Edited to add: Before anyone pulls the "you're just a close minded agnostic/atheist, blah blah blah" card, realize that I don't have a dog in this hunt. Proving the historical accuracy of biblical accounts does nothing to prove whether or not there's a supreme deity. All it would prove was that the bible was historically accurate, which given the fact that most, if not all, of the events in the bible were written about long after they occurred, wouldn't be that hard to pull off, and certainly doesn't require any type of supernatural intervention. Unfortunately, the writers often had to bend historical truth in order to provide support for their other claims. I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge the fact that there was a race of historical giants IF (and it's a helluva big if...) there is real evidence to support it, that just doesn't seem to be the case.

You're just a close minded agnostic atheist :0)

I don't think you're closed minded. I know there's a ton of fake photo shopped pics on the web. I personally think there were giants.

I haven't done a lot of investigation into the subject, and neither do I have any stake in the outcome. There are writings and findings which seem to support there being giants. I don't think we can simply discredit all the info by saying it's all photo shopped.

Lol

No, I agree, you certainly can't discard all of the information because there are fake photos, however, for a lot of people and certainly if mainstream scientific acceptance is something that the people studying this subject are concerned about, it's going to take more than just information. I mean, if someone is claiming that these beings are still walking the face of the Earth today, there's absolutely no good reason why you couldn't obtain some kind of hard evidence to prove that they exist. The fact that it hasn't happened leads me to conclude that the modern aspect of this myth is nonsense, the historical is much harder to completely eliminate but, at least for myself, I need more than just ancient witness testimony to accept that claim. I think it would be pretty awesome if giants actually did live in ancient times, but just because I think something is cool isn't sufficient reason to buy into it.

Here's a giant you can have lunch with, if you like:

World's tallest man finally stops growing at 8 feet 3 inches

And some more men and women of renoun: The Thirty Tallest People Ever

Giants exist now and have always existed. In the distant past, many animals (dinosaurs) were super-size for reasons we still don't fully understand.

Klaus Dona (previously on The Paracast) has uncovered evidence of giants in S. America and I wish Gene would get him back on the show.

I get what you're saying, but that all depends on your definition of what constitutes a giant, the people in the first two links are genetic outliers and their existence isn't under any type of question that I'm aware of, nor does it support an entire race of historical or modern giants. The tallest man ever recorded was just under 9 feet tall, so if you can find historical or modern examples that are larger than say 11 or 12 feet, I would deem that to be worthy preliminary evidence of the possibility of giants, at least in my opinion.

 

[Goggs Mackay]

I am also fascinated with this topic. I lap up any snippet of info on giants of pre-history.

I keep hearing about skeletons that were discovered and then kept in collections or museums but ALL of them eventually get stolen or hidden by them.
Who is orchestrating this cover-up? I have no doubt there is such a cover-up as evidence of human giants (and not 'normal' humans suffering from giantism or agro-megaly) would put a spanner in the works of many religous beliefs and accepted histories.

I've heard on a number of occasions that the Smithsonian has giant bones that they keep hidden away.

I'd like to know if there is a single, verifiable human-giant bone available to see today by the public?

I second the proposed show and also second proposing Klaus Dona be brought back on the show for this subject. David Hatcher Childress is another natural choice for guest.

Gene?

Here's one more piece of evidence for giants in North America, this time in Illinois.


Caption: Giant Osage skeletons unearthed in burial mounds at Dunleith, Illinois (circa 1890)

Are we really looking at members of the Osage tribe?

This remarkable citation accompanied the photo:

12th Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1890-1891
Dunleith, Illinois
No. 5, the largest of the group was carefully examined. Two feet below the surface, near the apex, was a skeleton, doubtless an intrusive Indian burial...Near the original surface, 10 or 12 feet from the center, on the lower side, lying at full length on its back, was one of the largest skeletons discovered by the Bureau agents, the length as proved by actual measurement being between 7 and 8 feet. It was clearly traceable, but crumbled to pieces immediately after removal from the hard earth in which it was encased.

Here is an interesting video.

 

[pixelsmith]

that is not a footprint. if you look at the surrounding rock there is plenty of evidence of years of water erosion on the rocks.. this dumbass followed small stream of water all the way up to "gods" footprint and it didn't enter his mind that it could be created by water erosion?

 

[starise]

And how do you know this beyond any doubt?

 

[pixelsmith]

And how do you know this beyond any doubt?

because it is granite, "god" or the giant would have had to step in it at its molten state underground. i doubt a giant was walking on molten rock underground. the obvious water erosion in the area explain things nicely.

In September 2013 an expedition was made to a remote location in Siberia. The explorers confirmed earlier reports of a large "fortress" of megalithic blocks that rise out of the vast forest, some of which give a hint of being artificially cut and placed. If any of this is artificial, one can only wonder if it was constructed by giants in the very distant past. The photos are very intriguing. You be the judge.

The following video report, broken into three segments, does a brief but competent job of describing the control group who collected and hauled away the skeletons of American giants in the 19th Century. The skeletons numbered in the hundreds and they were accompanied by thousands of priceless artifacts of unknown age and origin. The control group reassured the public that these remarkable finds would be studied and cared for in Washington DC. What the public was not told was that this analysis would be done in secret.
