Ready for today's theory about ancient giants?
I spent my Sunday off doing what a paranormal geek does, studying. I took all the accounts I could find of ancient giant skeleton finds and made a chart to find similarities, correlations, make some assumptions about migration or culture, time range, anything. While doing this, I thought about this -
Ancient giant skeletons have been found around the entire world - a race of exceedingly tall (7-12 feet tall) people with receding foreheads, double rows of teeth and technology (fire/tools/writing) advanced from other modern man/Neanderthal/Denisovans that were on the earth then. Ancient Indians said that they came to America and found the giants here with technology they didn't know. They had battles and the Indians say they killed off the giants. But, what if they simply drove them into hiding? What if for thousands of years, they remained hidden, and in that time became feral--loss of cloth-making/fire-making technology and over time grew hair on their bodies in their feral rough environment? What if Bigfoot is the Alhegewi (ancient giant tribe)?
Enjoy this chart and see if it doesn't give you chills -

The remains are completely petrified, and are of gigantic dimensions.
The head is massive, measures 31-1/2 inches in circumference. but low in the
os frontis, and very flat on the top.
The femur measures 26-1/4 inches. and the fibula 25-1/2 inches, while
the body is
equally long in proportion.
From the crown of the head to the sole of the foot. the length is 10-feet 9-1/2 inches. The measure around

hundred

Aborigines in
Australia, interestingly, have tales of the giants being there when they
arrived, much like the Native Americans have.
Repeatedly, American
tribes have reported the giants were here first and had tools and abilities
that the early natives did not. They fought the giants and killed them off.
They were reported as white skinned, very tall, blond/red hair.
Book of Mormon
In the Book
of Ether – Jaredites were guided by God through the wilderness and across the
see in barges. At one time, said to be 2,000,000 in population before their
destruction. This occurred about the time the other refugees from Jerusalem
arrived in America (Nephites, Lamanites, Mulekites), scattering the remaining
Jaredites upon the arrival of these people who inherited the land (Paleo-Indians?).
Another thing about those ancient giants - wielding 300-pound axes worked pretty well against mastadons and mammoths. Why else would you fashion something that would be overkill for any other creature on the land? They went extinct about 10,000 years ago (the animals--apparently not the giants).
There was a story in a paper in the early 1900s about an explorer finding a cave in the Grand Canyon and inside was what looked like an Egyptian tomb. Might it have been a giant's tomb? They supposedly possessed statues, heiroglyphs, smelted ores, stonework, and stored seeds. It was said the Smithsonian took away the items, closed off the area, and the secrets were kept from the public. Is it possible that institutions and governments know about this civilized ancient people but find it impossible to explain to citizens without throwing everything we think we know into chaos?
Also, if you include that these were leaps and bounds above early modern humans in technology, language, building skills with large stones, etc., then it goes to assume that perhaps early man learned much from them and made leaps in his brain capabilities. But, should a giant have remained on the earth, with an evolutionary jump on man, what might his mind's potential be now if you pulled him from his feral setting and taught him the basics as a child to an adult? Einstein? Tesla? Hmm.... Might his descendents be brilliant and hiding and mimicking, outsmarting and surviving?
In looking at the ancient giants information, I sometimes find myself thinking it is preposterous that a being could be 24 feet tall! I can almost imagine 10 feet, but 24??? Then, I realize I'm looking at this with a frame of reference to modern humans. I am like a Chihuahua finding the concept of a Great Dane ridiculous.
Perspective - my head size 22 inches on the left and the head size of a giant found in Minnesota with a 31-1/2 inch head (also had 26-1/4 inch femur -- mine is 15 inches).
My height 5'8"
His height 10'9-1/2".
I can see where religions and universities are threatened by this potential kink in the creation/evolution ways of thinking, but honestly how can we explain a very large intelligent man before modern man arrived? It doesn't exactly line up, now, does it?
I gave you a GIANT amount of mind fuck material for today, but my hope is to get discussions going about what religious and educational institutions have told us about Earth's history and man's place in the time line. Hope this has you looking for more info -and expect me to write a lot about this in the coming future, it is a new obsession.
Sharon, I have a question about ghosts - since you're covering America-wide Lovecraftian mystery today. I wondered if you've ever ghost hunted in the Vermont hills or checked out Bennington college. I'm in academia, and a couple of years ago a job advert came up for that place. I did a fair amount of background research on it, and what came up was a lot of strange stuff, plus the literary authors (often alumni) who wrote frightening pieces around it. I wondered what you thought about that area.
ReplyDeleteThe Bennington Triangle is a case that really intrigues me. I've written about it a few times on here. My hope is to some day move into making documentaries and one that I want to do is about portals, or locations where a high degree of strangeness occur, sometimes for limited times. These include earth lights, missing people, UFOs, ghostly stuff, Bigfoot, cryptids. There are other sites like this, such as the San Luis Valley in Colorado, Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, Paris, Texas... I am working on theories about how and why portals form, but there are so many variables. And, some are time specific, and so they come and go.
DeleteVery interesting. After I read about two girls falling through a horizontal plate glass window at three in the morning at Bennington (can't recall details but that is what I remember off top of my head) plus a number of grisly suicides by students and faculty I felt there was more to the place than met the eye.
