giants????

Question

has anyone heard of a tribe of giants that lived in ohio thousands of years ago. i have read some articles about this but it is kinda hard to believe. does anyone have any info on this subject?

Answer 1

Giants are common legends, just like dwarves/fairy/elves/leprechauns, mutation sometimes in limited gene pools can cause this. The other explaination is the small stature of Native Americans compared to Europeans, and the unsolved mystery of the "Lost Tribe of Welshman" and the Mandan tribe speaking Welsh at the time of first European contact. Look up a 1976 book called "America B.C." by linguist Dr. Barry Fell on transatlantic exploration of the Americas long before Columbus or Vikings (both of whom had heard legends of a land to the West). there also is the debate over how far inland the Norse/Viking explorers travelled, (only in recent decades have scientist grudginly admitted they occupied Nova Scotia, but they shipped butternuts home, which don't grow there), their stature and armor are probably the source of Iroqouis legends of "stone giants" around Oneida Lake & Lake Ontario, and centuries ago they found supposed earthworks in that region with double rows of teeth in skeletons, which is a recessive genetic thing in European people, but unfortunatly archeology at the time was pothunters looking for treasure, not science. So until more discoveries are made, archeology refuses to accept any of these legends, odd archeological finds or beliefs. It will take a Pheonician grave or vessel being found in Central America, or a Viking ship in Lake Michigan, before they will revise their view of North American history. Even 10,000 year old "Kennewick Man" was disposed of and the discovery site destroyed because he didn't fit the picture. If the puzzle pieces don't fit, they throw them out. So much of our history is full of alledged "firsts" until someone finds undeniable proof to the contrary. I had not heard of the tribes in Ohio, but then I havn't studied the history of that region. Your best bet is to find "contemporary accounts" from the time of modern contact with native tribes in the region up into the late 1800's when "science" began throwing out everything that didn't fit their picture. There also is the danger or pitfall of explorers who first viewed them supposing things like the mounds had to be built by either giants or highly intelligent people, and not the "dumb indians" (as they saw them) who were living around these earthworks when this area was taken over by Europeans in recent centuries, (it's the same view held of those who lived around the great ruins around the world who couldn't explain satisfactorily who built them or why). But Dr. Barry Fell's comparisons of ancient Britons and Native Americans may point to either an exchange through contact, or that our cultures just evolved along similar paths even if thousands of years and miles apart. But I believe any "giants" were human, unless you take into the account of giant ground sloths in South America, where they found evidence of them being kept as domesticated animals before their eventual extinction.

Answer 2

A news article I read said that President Clinton sent the army corps of engineers to destroy some pre-Amerid archaeological sites because the evidence dug up was politically incorrect. That is, the Article claimed that the American Indians wiped out the humans/humanoids that were here before they got here.
