In spite of the apparent cover-up by the Smithsonian since its inception, they have not sealed all the cracks of history. In 1911, several giant skeletons and ancient artifacts were found in a cave in Lovelock. When mining for bat guano in the cave, the miners reportedly found giant mummies preserved in the dry bat-droppings. The mummies were large, from six and a half feet to more than eight feet, and they had red hair. They were reportedly lying in a layer of burnt material about four feet under the surface and there were also lots of broken arrows around the mummies. Later, two giant pestles weighing approximately 20 lbs, and one 40 lbs, were discovered at the entrance of the cave.
The Paiute Indians of the area have legends about giants and how they killed them. The race of giants they called Si-Te-Cah were very tall red-haired cannibals, and the Paiutes started war against them when they entered their land. A coalition of tribes managed to trap the last remaining giants in a cave and, while shooting arrows at them, they started a large fire at the mouth of the cave. They kept the fire going and shot everybody who tried to get out, until the giants were annihilated.
In 2009, a friend of mine named Pete Mansoor travelled to Winnemucca, Nevada, to see the remains of the giant skulls at the Humboldt Museum. The skulls were not on public display, but he was allowed to see and photograph the giant skulls by a little old lady running the museum that day. When Pete asked why they were not showcased, her reply was, “They are not recognized by the National Association of Museums.” As of 2012, I was scheduled to visit the Humboldt Museum that summer to examine the skulls. I corresponded with the Humboldt Museum and they confirmed that they indeed have four different giant skulls from Lovelock, only one being in good condition. I was then told by the museum director that they have been locked away in storage and will not be on public display, indefinitely. Even if I made the trip to visit the museum, it was not possible to view the skulls. For now, they remain in possession of the museum. It is a wonder that the Smithsonian has not come for them yet! Nevertheless, Pete managed to get some great photos of them.

In 1939, also near Lovelock in the Humboldt lake bed, there were two giant skeletons excavated measuring 10 feet tall, being wrapped in a gum-covered fabric similar to the Egyptian method. The second skeleton was eight and a half feet tall, as reported by the Review-Miner, June 19, 1931.(49)
Just recently, in Twin Valley, Minnesota, a farmer discovered some bones on his property. He called out the proper authorities to investigate. What they found was mind-blowing. Upon excavating the mound, it contained a giant skeleton eight and a half feet in length. In addition, two other smaller skeletons, apparently children, were found at the feet of the giant in fetal positions. Although no artifacts were found, the Native American representative present at the excavation did not claim the bones as Native American. It caused such a stir among the authorities that the state archaeologist immediately halted excavations and ordered the site to be re-buried without delay!
Here is an article reprint from the San Antonio Express in Texas about a giant skull that was discovered in 1940.

Beach Giant Skull Unearthed By WPA Workers Near Victoria Believed to Be Largest Ever Found in World; Normal Head Also Found
That Texas “had a giant in the beach” in the long ago appears probable from the large skull recently unearthed on a mound in Victoria County, believed to be the largest human skull ever found in the United States and probably in the world. Twice the size of the skull of a normal man, the fragments were dug up by W. Duffen, archeologist, who is excavating the mound in Victoria County under a WPA project sponsored by the University of Texas. In the same mound and at the same level, a normal sized skull was found. The pieces taken from the mound were reconstructed in the WPA laboratory under the supervision of physical anthropologists.
A study is being made to determine whether the huge skull was that of a man belonging to a tribe of extraordinary large men, or whether the skull was that of an abnormal member of a tribe, a case of gigantism. Several large human bones have been unearthed at the site. Marcus B. Goldstein, physical anthropologist, employed on the WPA project, formerly was an aide of Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the National Museum of Physical Anthropology. Finds made through excavations in Texas are beginning to give weight to the theory that man lived in Texas 40,000 years ago, it is said.
The University of Texas has confirmed that a large skull was found in 1939 but that it has been missing from the collection since and its whereabouts are unknown.
The evolutionist historical perspective studies the history of mankind by dividing it up into several periods. Such fictitious concepts as the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age are an important part of evolutionary chronology.(50) Since this invented representation is presented via mainstream media, most people accept this fallacy without question and imagine that human beings once lived in an era when only primitive stone tools were used and advanced technology was unknown. This leads to the suppression of the truth and suppression leads to oppression. To suppress something is to resist it consciously and the Bible has something to say about it. This is personally one of my favorite passages:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
-Romans 1:18-25 (KJV)
People are seeking the answers to life’s four great questions but never coming to the knowledge of the Truth: Who am I? Where did I come from? What is my purpose here? Where am I going?
Unfortunately, the majority of people cannot answer the four great questions of life using the precepts of evolutionary theory. The pursuit of truth should be our highest priority. Truth is the direct opposite of falsehood and is the first to get repressed in any lie. But we need to define truth. Pilot asked Jesus, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). Truth is defined as a verified or indisputable fact.
Suppression is not a disbelief of the truth but the denial of it. There is a world of difference between ignorance of the truth and a denial of it. One would expect the secular realms of evolutionary academia to “suppress the truth about giants” to protect the theory of evolution. There has been a profound shift in belief of creation to evolution and the existence of giants from the 20th to the 21st century. The recent finds in Minnesota and across the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys prove it.
The simple truth is that the evolutionary picture of mankind does not match the empirical evidence in the field of archaeology, nor in its
cultural or historical context. This evidence has been suspiciously hidden, destroyed, covered up, buried, re-written, and re-defined by those who would suppress the truth.
It reminds me of what George Orwell said. He stated, “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” The truth is that we are created in the image of God just as the ancient book of Genesis says; not in the image of a faceless and hopeless evolution from primordial soup, neither the image of ancient aliens, nor ETs from other planets. The fact that there are archaeological remains of the Nephilim giants explicitly invalidates the theory of evolution whose main purpose is to deny the Creator and Supreme Authority of the heavens and earth—the God of the Bible.
2. Is it possible that the Nephilim giants that we read about during the conquest of Canaan fled the country and migrated north and then into the Ohio Valley?
We know from Scripture that the giants were still around some 400 years after the flood. They span from the time of Abraham to the 400 years of captivity of the Israelites in Egypt, until the time of Moses. A descendant of the Rephaim living at the time of Moses was named King Og.
11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
-Deuteronomy 3:11 (KJV)
A standard cubit was 18 inches. A royal cubit was 21 inches. Some scholars also say that a royal cubit was the length of the forefinger to the elbow or the length of the first born son. Using these measurements, we can estimate King Og’s height at 13 to 15 feet tall! He was one of the last remaining remnants of the giants at the time of Moses.
The Nephilim in Canaan were descended from Anak, and so were also known as the Anakim. The Anakim as well as the Emim, Rephaim, and Zanzummim were all a race of giants existing in Canaan at the time of Israel’s arrival. Among them were warriors of exceeding stature, including Ishbi-Benob (II Samuel 21:16); Og (Numbers 21:33; Deuteronomy 3:11); and the famous ten-foot-plus Goliath, a great champion of Gath who defied the Israelites and who was slain by David (I Samuel 17:21-29). Goliath was probably descended from the old Rephaim of whom a scattered remnant took refuge with the Philistines after their dispersion by the Ammonites (Deuteronomy 2:20, 21; II Samuel 21:22). Tradition has it that by King David’s time there were only five great warrior “kings” left in the land, represented by the five stones in David’s satchel, one of which he used to slay Goliath, while the other four stones were marked for his four giant brothers slated to be destroyed (II Samuel 21:15-22). These tribes of giants seem to have been established as an advance guard to obstruct Israel’s possession of the Promised Land.
There is no clear record of the Anakim after the Israelite invasion, but since a remnant survived in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod (Joshua 11:22), it is probably safe to assume that they were assimilated into the culture of the Philistines, who were just beginning to settle in that area. These three cities went on to play a central role in Philistine politics, and Gath has already been noted for its connection to the giants. These Anakim have already been equated with the Rephaim (Deuteronomy 2:11), so they were no doubt understood to be the same as the “descendants of Rapha,” who worked out of Philistine Gath in II Samuel 21:22.
The Amorites were eventually displaced from the eastern Mediterranean by the Hittites, Egyptians and Hebrews. The arrival of the Nephilim in the Ohio Valley may be due to the Celts migrating into the British Isles, circa 1500-1200 B.C., effectively ending the domination by the Beaker Peoples in England.(51) This also corresponds to the end of the copper mining operations and manufacturing of copper weapons on Lake Superior. In addition to similar earthworks and mounds, called henges, the Beaker People also shared mortuary practices as those found in the Ohio Valley, along with the same unique type of conical mounds that are many times surrounded by a moat or ditch.
The Beaker People, who are the builders of Stonehenge and the many burial mounds in the British Isles, were composed of the Dinaric, Corded People, and Borreby Cro-Magnon. It is thought that the Corded People were a northern extension of the giants in the Bible known as the Amorites. Dinaric skulls are found mostly in the Ohio Valley, with their heads flattened in the back with unique features of a protruding brow ridge, thick skulls, massive jaws and large height, making them distinctive to any other skeletal remains. The Dinaric type is found most extensively in the Ohio Valley. This type of skull has also been found at the Gates of Damascus in Jerusalem, where the skull was described as massive. The Dinaric peoples are also associated with conical burial mounds and henges as sun temples, strikingly similar to the Ohio mounds.
Finally, cultures from around the world have legends that are often remarkably similar to biblical accounts, including the existence of giants. These “mighty men of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4), whose exploits of strength and violence made them famous, became legends in the ages following the Flood. To cultures of later times, such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, they were revered as great hero-gods, hence, the heroes of mythology, who have their basis in historical fact; but, in reality they were merely the Nephilim giants of violence and evil.
It is noted that there are fairly tall skeletons from the Minoan culture in Crete and some scholars believe there is a connection between the Cretans and the Philistine giants.(52) Such efforts have their roots in the authors of antiquity, who speak of the bones of past heroes and villains that were still on display for others to see. Josephus wrote that one could see the bones of the Anakim “to this very day, unlike to any creditable relations of other men.” (Antiquities 5.126). Josephus went on to write, “[The Nephilim] proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants.” (Antiquities 1.73) Cimon is said to have recognized the bones of Theseus on the isle of Scyros by their enormous size (Plutarch, Theseus 38), and Pausanias in his Guide to Greece speaks of two separate caches of giants’ bones that one may visit in Arkadia (8.29.4, 8.32.5).
A Norse myth, which was not written down until over a thousand years after the Greek and Hebrew counterparts, might also be traceable to this common tradition; in it, three gods (Odin, Vili and Ve) kill Ymir, the father of the frost giants, whose blood flows so freely that it becomes a flood which drowns the other giants.(53) The line between giants and gods remained blurry at best in Norse mythology (e.g., Loki was the son of two giants, yet he was counted as one of the gods). However, the Nephilim bear a closer resemblance to the Greek demigods, who were children of mixed fallen angel/ human parentage but not fully divine.
To use Isaiah 26:14, not quite “all memory” of the giants disappeared, but traces of heroic legends are alluded to in the earliest chapters of Genesis. Like the Nephilim and Rephaim of whom they spoke, they are now little more than shades in the biblical text but evident throughout the archaeology and history of ancient cultures extending all the way to the Ohio River Valley in North America.
3. Thor Heyerdahl proves in Kon-Tiki that ancient people could have navigated the oceans. With that in mind, is it possible the tribes of Nephilim located in Canaan fled via the oceanic routes?
The Kon-Tiki expedition was inspired by old reports and drawings made by the Spanish Conquistadors of Inca rafts, and by native legends and archaeological evidence suggesting contact between South America and Polynesia. Kon-Tiki demonstrated that it was possible for a primitive raft to sail the Pacific to the west if the wind was at your back. This demonstrates that the Nephilim could have gotten all around the globe via the oceanic routes on primitive rafts in just a few years. We know that the Phoenicians became master sailors of the seas.
In modern day science, there are a few experts that trace a gene called “Haplo X” found in some of the Native American populations back to the biblical lands.(54) The experts tell us that Hapl
o X was not found in Siberia, thus, effectively ruling out that ancient man arrived via the Bering Land Bridge, but that this gene is specifically Eurasian. The origin of the other half of group X was found in Galilee. But when did these peoples arrive? Some scientists theorize that is was some 40,000 years ago. But there is controversy in the dating. When examining the actual data, other scientists using the new clock based on mutation rates(55) conclude that this could be a mere 2,000-6,000 years ago!(56) Is this the same tribe of giants called the Kurgan of southern Russia (4400-3500 BC)? Is it possible that the tribes of Nephilim fled via the oceanic routes? The evidence is circumstantial at best but indeed remains an intriguing possibility.
4. Native Americans claim there was a race of giant people who were here before them. What are your thoughts in that regard?
The North American Indians, especially the Chippewa, Sandusky, Tawa, Iroquois, Cherokee, Choctaw and Hopi tribes, believed that there was a race of giant beings before them. My great-grandmother was full-blooded Choctaw Indian. The Choctaw’s legends tell that after they crossed the Mississippi River, they encountered a powerful, white race of cannibal giants who came from the east and used mammoths as beasts of burden but were in decline when the Choctaw came.
