Giants Once Roamed Earth

(Before It's News)

According to legends, giants once lived and breathed. We’re not talking about a few scattered tales here and there since most cultures present a variation on this subject. There’s the well-known biblical tale of the Nephilim, we have the Daityasin Hinduism, the Gigantes in Greek mythology, the Jotun in Norse legends and many more.

According to most instances, giants were once commonly found in many areas and they often played major roles before perishing during a global catastrophe, most commonly a flood. For example, Inca legends say that the city of Tiahuanaco in modern-day Bolivia was built by giants that survived the flood. They were calledHuaris and they inhabited the land before the period of darkness called Chamak-pacha. By the time the Inca empire had risen, the giants’ city was already in ruins.

The ruins we see today are the remnants of what was once a great city built to accommodate people far taller than today. The legend goes on to mention that the height of these giants was so great that regular men only reached their knees. One of the first Europeans to record these legends was Spanish conquistador and chronicler Pedro Cieza de León. Regarding the origin of giants, natives of South America told him that they “came by sea in rafts of reeds after the manner of large boats” and that some of the men were “so tall that from the knee down they were as big as the length of an ordinary fair-sized man.”

Ruins of Tiahuanaco

This is in no way an isolated anecdote. People of Africa tell tales of powerful and brave men that once ruled the land. They had bright eyes and booming voices that could be heard from one town to the next and extraordinary feats are celebrated in their name. The earth trembled under their footsteps.

Bulgarian mythology describes the ispolini as the second out of three generations of men to inhabit the world, the third one being modern humans. They lived in mountain caves, fed exclusively on raw meat and would often engage dragons in battle, as they were natural born enemies.

The story of David and Goliath is so well-known that we’ll only mention it.

One might argue that while entertaining, these are only myths and giants are no more real than the Easter bunny. There is absolutely no scientific fact backing up these stories. Except there is.

Excavations either intended or accidental have unearthed tools and weapons too large to be handled by even the strongest man. They could have been used for ceremonial purposes, but not when they number in the hundreds. At Agadir, Morocco, a French captain discovered an arsenal of hunting weapons that included five hundred double-bladed axes, weighing seventeen and a half pounds each, twenty times heavier than what an average man would comfortably wield.

Excavations at Puma Punku, Bolivia uncovered four mysterious giant hard stone masks. Austrian artifact researcher Klaus Dona documented the find and after examining the masks, he concluded that only giants would be able to bear these masks.

But the strongest evidence supporting this theory is the discovery of gigantic human bones or even complete skeletons. Fortunately, accounts of such discoveries being made come from all over the globe. A skeleton that belonged to a seventeen feet tall human was discovered in the Philippines. Bones belonging to a similar being were found in South-Eastern China and carbon-dating revealed them to be at least a quarter of a million years old.

The Lake Delavan, Wisconsin excavation in May 1912 was overseen by Beloit College and it dug up more than 200 effigy mounds. The skeletons inside these burial mounds were exceptionally large and also possessed elongated skulls. They also had a double row of teeth and 6 fingers and toes. This wasn’t even the first time giant skeletons were found in Wisconsin. On August 10, 1891 the New York Times reported that scientists from the Smithsonian Institution had discovered large pyramidal monuments on Lake Mills, Wisconsin. The pyramids were part of a large metropolis that also possessed an elaborate system of defensive works.

In 1964, Klaus Dona came across some bones from Ecuador and the experts that examined them confirmed they belonged to a 25-foot human. And several discoveries have been made in the Caucasus Mountains region in more recent times.

In Romania, on the Bucegi Mountains plateau lies the famous Bucegi Sphinx. After excavations in the 1960’s uncovered giant skeletons and massive tunnels carved in the heart of the mountain, the area was closed for excavations, at least official ones.

A mysterious figure in an equally mysterious area

All of these discoveries have a common characteristic and that is they never make it to local or national news. That could mean they never occurred in the first place. Naturally, this explanation would be satisfying if it weren’t for government tendencies to cover up discoveries that could challenge conventional beliefs.
