8 Foot Human Giant Removed from a Lagrange County, Indiana Burial Mound






The Journal Gazette, December 5, 1924
  Lagrange, Ind., Dec 26 - A prehistoric graveyard has been unearthed on the farm of Solomon Hedrick.  A large number of skeletons have been found, all more than eight feet in height.  The find was in a mound 30 feet height. When 12 feet of the mound had been removed the skeletons were exposed.  The jaws and teeth are well preserved.  Trinkets, ivory beads and a shield made of bone were in the graves.  For a map of the locations of burial mounds and earthworks in Lagrange County, Indiana  https://adenahopewellmoundbuildersohiovalley.blogspot.com/2011/10/mound-builders-ruins-in-lagrange-county.html

Biblical Horites Death Mask

Biblical Horites Death Mask



Horite Death Mask

    Last year I wrote an article about the Biblical Horites, again, there seems to be some similarities with who archaeoloogists are calling Otamids. The skull of the Horites, described in the Archaeology of the Bible, Barton, 1916, would appear to be identical to those in California.
    “In a cave at Gezer, “A pottery head found in one the caves, which may be a rude portrait of the type of face sen in Gezer in this period, it has a sloping forehead, which afforded little brain space, and a prominent lower jaw. The people used flint knives, crushed their grain in hollow stones.
Mr. Macalister has suggested a connection between the cave dwellers of Gezer and the Biblical Horites, since Horite means, “cave dweller.” In the Bible the Horites are said to have dwelt to the east of Jordan, and more especially in Edom ( Gen. 14: 6: 36: 20, 21, 29; Deut 2 :12, 22). It seems probable the the reason why the Bible places them all beyond Jordan is that the cave dwellers had disappeared from Western Palestine centuries before the Hebrews came, while to the east of the Jordan they lingered on until displaced by those who were more nearly contemporary with the Hebrews.”

Large Hopewell Sioux Skeleton Found Within a Missouri Stone Vault

Large Hopewell Sioux Skeleton Found Within a Missouri Stone Vault



History of Boone County, Missouri 1882
   Along Roche Creek, starting from Perche Church and following the creek down about two miles, are numerous mounds, the work, undoubtedly, of the famed mound builders. These mounds are from three to six feet in height, and, on an average, are from 100 to 200 yards apart. They number about twenty well-defined specimens. Dr. Davis, of Sturgeon, and Wm. Powell opened one of these mounds on the farm of the latter. In the center they found a perfect vault, the roof of which was covered with stones. In this vault lay a large skeleton. It measured seven inches across the forehead and the size of the of the other bones were in proportion. More on Missouri's giants
