lower teeth. Unfortunately, this body was secretly buried because the local
Indians became upset about the remains.
4. A giant skull and vertebrae found in Wisconsin and Kansas City.
5. A giant found off the California Coast on Santa Rosa Island in the 1800s
was distinguished by its double rows of teeth.
6. A 9-foot, 8-inch skeleton was excavated from a mount near Brewersville,
Indiana, in 1879.
7. Skeletons of "enormous dimensions" were found in mounds near
Zanesville, Ohio, and Warren, Minnesota, in the 1880s.
8. In Clearwater Minnesota, the skeletons of seven giants were found in
mounds. These had receding foreheads and complete double dentition.
9. At Le Crescent, Wisconsin, mounds were found to contain giant bones.
Five miles north near Dresbach, the bones of people over 8 feet tall were
found.
10. In 1888 seven skeletons ranging from seven to 8 feet tall were
discovered.
11. Near Toledo, Ohio, 20 skeletons were discovered with jaws and teeth
"twice as large as those of present day people." The account also noted
that odd hieroglyphics were found with the bodies.
12. Miners in Lovelock Cave, California, discovered a very tall, red-haired
mummy In 1911
13. This mummy eventually went to a fraternal lodge where it was used for
"initiation purposes."
14. In 1931, skeletons from 8 ½ to 10 feet long were found in the Humbolt
lake bed in California.
15. In 1932, Ellis Wright found human tracks in the gypsum rock at White
Sands, New Mexico. His discovery was later backed up by Fred Arthur,
Supervisor of the Lincoln National Park and others who reported that
each footprint was 22 inches long and from 8 to 10 inches wide. They were
certain the prints were human in origin due to the outline of the perfect
prints coupled with a readily apparent instep.
16. During World War II, author Ivan T. Sanderson tells of how his crew
was bulldozing through sedimentary rock when it stumbled upon what
appeared to be a graveyard. In it were crania that measured from 22 to 24
inches from base to crown nearly three times as large as an adult human
skull. Had the creatures to whom these skulls belonged been properly
proportioned, they undoubtedly would have been at least 12 feet tall or
taller.
17. In 1947 a local newspaper reported the discovery of nine-foot-tall
skeletons by amateur archeologists working in Death Valley.
18. The archeologists involved also claimed to have found what appeared
to be the bones of tigers and dinosaurs with the human remains.
19. The Catalina Islands, off California, are the home of dwarf mammoth
bones that were once roasted in ancient fire pits. These were roasted and
eaten by human-like creatures who were giants with double rows of teeth.
THE KOSSUTH GIANTS:
Kossuth: October was a month of some excitement in scientific circles as
seven strange and gigantic mummies were discovered just outside of
Kossuth Center. Marvin Rainwater, a local farmer, had been digging a
new well on his property and struck a deposit of very hard stone about
nine feet below the topsoil. In attempting to dig it out, he found that it was
more than four feet wide in every direction. Removing it would be a
terrific chore. He considered the possibility that this was a layer of
bedrock, but that would certainly be odd that close to the surface. Further,
being somewhat familiar with geologic deposits, he knew that the stone was
not the familiar limestone for which such Eastern Iowa areas like Stone
City are famous. This
was something else entirely. Upon close inspection Rainwater also saw that
the stone was not as rough as might be expected in a natural formation,
but was in fact smooth and polished. Now very curious as to the nature of
the find, he called several friends from surrounding farms and they began
an excavation. They discovered that it was not a single stone, but rather
one of at least several irregularly cut slabs stretching out over a wide area,
yet fitted so tightly together that not even a knife blade could be put
between them. Each slab measured roughly 8'x10', and when struck with a
sledge seemed to ring with a hollowness that might indicate this was not a
floor but the outside portion of a ceiling. Rainwater wondered if he had not
stumbled upon some sort of buried stone structure on his property.
Believing that there might be a way to parlay living other than farming if
he played his cards right, Mr. Rainwater contacted Georg Von Podebrad
College, who in turn dispatched a team of archeologists, anthropologists,
and geologists to the site. The researchers were delighted with the
anomalies presented them.
Firstly, the stone was not at all native to Iowa, but was in fact basalt-a
hard, dense volcanic rock composed of plagioclase, augite, and magnetite.
The type of stone used by the Egyptians to build their massive monuments.
The depth of the slabs indicated that they had been there for a very long
time, predating the advent of the kind of modern transportation and heavy
machinery needed to bring such a large quantity of foreign stone to Iowa,
and quite probably the slabs had been laid down before the last glacial
age.
It is impossible to gauge with any certainty just how long they had been
there. After the soil covering the slabs had been entirely removed, the area
covered by the stones was a perfect square measuring 188 feet on each
side. Digging around the perimeter revealed that Rainwater had been
correct, the structure did go deeper into the ground. The cyclopean
structure was revealed to be a pyramid similar in shape to one located at
Marietta, Ohio, although those mounds and monuments erected by the
prehistoric Indians were made of sun dried brick mixed with rushes. This
technique, too, is curiously similar to the Egyptian technique of brick
making with straw and mud. It took many months, but the entire
structure was finally exposed, and on the eastern side was found a massive
filled in archway with strong resemblance to those of ancient Greece. At
the bottom of the arch was a smaller arch, measuring only 6' to the
capstone. This too had been filled in and blocked off. With genuine awe
and some hesitancy the scientists of the Rainwater
Site began the work of opening the smaller entryway, wondering what
light from the first torch penetrated the gloom of the ancient structure,
Albert Grosslockner gasped at what he thought were seven huge and
exquisitely detailed statues seated in a ring around a very large and deep
fire pit. Moving closer, he realized that the figures were not carved of
stone, but were in fact the mummified remains of some giant humanoid
race.
Could what they found be in fact a prehistoric burial vault for some pre-
human creatures or was it a prison designed to hold some freakish
aberration of nature? The figures, were each fully ten feet tall even when
measured seated in their cross-legged positions. They all faced into the
circle with arms folded across their legs. Upon close examination it was
seen that they had double rows of teeth in their upper and lower jaws. The
foreheads were unusually low and sloping, with exceedingly prominent
brows. The skin of the
mysterious giants was wrinkled and tough, as though tanned, and the hair
of each of them was distinctly red in color. Their faces, still very expressive
even in death, taunted the scientists with their silence. Who, or what, were
these creatures, how had they come to be locked in this stone room, and
where had the stone itself come from originally? After careful excavation
of the site, the bodies were removed for x-ray and autopsy examination.
The excitement over the find was far in excess of the "Gypsum Man" find
in Iowa so many years before-a hoax from which the Putnam Museum of
Davenport had never fully recovered from. These giants were very real.
The medical examinations demonstrated that there was definite skeletal
structure, that they were organic creatures who had once been very much
alive. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
