Overview

"Modern day archaeology and anthropology have nearly sealed the door on our imaginations, broadly interpreting the North American past as devoid of anything unusual in the way of great cultures characterized by a people of unusual demeanor. The great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the nineteenth century Smithsonian Institution, created a one-way portal, through which uncounted bones have been placed. This door and the contents of its vault are virtually sealed off to any but government officials. Among these bones may lay answers not even sought by these officials concerning the deep past. The first hint I had about the possible existence of an actual race of tall, strong, and intellectually sophisticated people, was in researching old township and county records. Many of these were quoting from old diaries and letters that were combined in the 1800's from diaries going back to the 1700s. The title pages of the early county and pioneer history books often included phrases like ""carefully written and compiled"" and ""lest we forget."" Sometime before archaeology came to subscribe the general public to its view of prehistory: generations prior to Darwin's troublesome theory, the pioneers thought that some of the earthworks were as ancient as could be concurrent with human habitation in America. Some among the early settlers exercised their pens assured that the earthworks were not built by the direct ancestry of the native people living in the historical period, but rather were constructed in a more remote era encompassing a different social order. They compared the ""Mound Builders,"" with the ""Indians,"" clearly discerning the former as belonging to an earlier time, possessing a different fate or destiny from the latter. Evidence for the occupation of this country before the appearance of the red man is to be found in many states throughout this country, as well as throughout the world. In removing the gravel bluffs, which are numerous and deep, for the construction and repair of roads, and in excavating cellars, hundreds of human skeletons, some of them of giant form, have been found. A female citizen of Marion County estimates that there were about as many human skeletons in the Knolls of Marion County, Ohio as there are white inhabitants at present! (The History of Marion County, Ohio, compiled from past accounts, published in 1883). Amazing finds were also made in California about 1810 and in Montana in 1924. One was that of a six-toed giant, the other was the skull of a man found 130 feet deep in a lava-covered mine. A human molar embedded in an Eocen coal measure was found in November 1926 in No. 3 Eagle Coal Mine at Bear-creek, Montana, and in strata anywhere between thirty and seventy-five million years old. An amazing skull--of a giant man with double rows of teeth all and massive jaws was found on Santa Rosa Island in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. It has a singular tie-in with the statement in the old Babylonian Talmud, called the Berakthoth, that the giants before the Great Deludge had double rows of teeth! Many of these discoveries were made early in the nineteenth century, and in one case where a giant man's skeleton was exhumed by soldiers at Lampock Rancho, California, the Roman Catholic padre ordered the skeleton to be reburied because the local folk swore it was the skeleton of a god. These remains were often discovered accompanied by cemented gravel six feet thick lying under volcanic ash--the sign of an ancient cataclysm."

Dorothy P. Niemi - 4 STARS This is a great source for old news reports about the discovery of giant remains. Dates, times and places are given and the articles quoted, which is a valuable resource for those tracking giant remains on the ground or for those who would put the data on a map for correlations. One old photo of a tomb looked Mayan to me and I've seen many Mayan ruins. This is an interesting data collection until the author quotes metaphysical and religious speculative sources. Erich Ball - 4 STARS While similar to other books on this subject, it does provide a readable and comprehensive overview of the issue. There is sufficient information in there to support the arguments although at times it does become a little repetitive. One thing is that the reader is left in no doubt that there is an issue here to be explored. Cammie M. Royce - 5 STARS Very interesting. A book that will make you really think about our past. Learned a lot about the past. An interesting read. Eddie Dixon - 5 STARS VERY INFORMATIVE Dennis Tates - 5 STARS Good read John Psrks - 5 STARTS Fun and informative read. Great collection of old news articles about Giants in America and the civilization that they built. A J Dormaar (Author of The Chronicles of Aridayn series)- 5 STARS Mr Hinson has demonstrated throughout this book a masterly and in depth understanding of the subject. Not only are there numerous authenticated eyewitness and newspaper excerpts painstakingly researched from all around the world, but a wealth of fascinating pictorial evidence that will keep readers coming back to this book time and time again. Anyone who still stubbornly clings to the naive belief that modern humanity was only on this earth for less than 10,000 years will have their root beliefs shaken to the core. Shame on the Smithsonian Institute and other such places for denying the world the truth! I for one now view many of the old fairy tales about giants and ogres with a whole new respect, as it is now all too apparent that such stories were based on ancient fact. It is also worthy of note that no matter in what culture giant stories appear around the world, they are almost always vicious, cannibalistic bully boys. This certainly gives credence to their mention in the Koran, the Talmud and the Bible, not to mention numerous Asian/North American tales as well of the giant 'scourge' that once plagued the earth and the Great Flood God sent that severely curtailed their number. As Mr Hinson also points out in his work, there have been many well documented examples of giant creatures in the past, whose much smaller descendants are still among us today. Why, therefore, is it unrealistic to assume that at some time humans were also at least twice the size of modern man? Liz - 5 STARS This book is really awesome! I've always been curious about giants and the author did a great job at collecting a variety of evidence that ancient giants did exist! I recommend this to anyone that ever wondered about the origins and evidence that giants used to be amoung us.
