What is the true story behind giants throughout civilization?
The giant question cuts across archaeology, genetics, mythology, and suppressed physical evidence in ways institutional science refuses to synthesize. Michael Cremo, Brien Foerster, and Richard Dolan have each documented cases where oversized skeletal remains were reported by credentialed excavators, then quietly disappeared from museum record. The Smithsonian Institution specifically has faced sustained accusations — detailed by researchers like Vine Deloria Jr. and echoed in native oral tradition — of systematically suppressing anomalous skeletal finds that contradict the Bering Strait migration model.
Evidence
- Zecharia Sitchin argued that Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform texts describe the Anunnaki as a physically large ruling class, with the Nephilim of Genesis 6:4 representing their hybrid offspring with humans.
- Brien Foerster's direct skeletal research in Peru — specifically the Paracas elongated skulls — documents cranial volumes exceeding normal human range by up to 25%, with mitochondrial DNA analysis suggesting a haplogroup unknown in any living or previously catalogued population.
- Michael Cremo's Forbidden Archeology catalogs dozens of 19th-century newspaper and excavation reports of oversized skeletal remains — some 7 to 9 feet — found across North America, many in burial mounds, many reported by state geologists before the Smithsonian consolidated control of American antiquities research.
- The longstanding scholarly consensus, per that study, held that pre-Flood humans were genuinely larger and that environmental changes after Noah drove size reduction.
- This is not fringe folklore — it was the working hypothesis of Europe's educated class for centuries.
