Salem Professor Discovers Huge Skeletons in Mounds

Dr. Sutton Believes Tribe of Giants Once Inhabited Doddridge County Section; Data on Exploration Will Go to Smithsonian Institution.

  
     SALEM, June 14-Excavation of two mounds near Morganville, in Doddridge County, about 11 miles west of here revealed what Prof. Ernest Sutton, head of the history department of Salem college, believes is valuable evidence of a race of giants who inhabited this section of West Virginia more than 1,000 years ago.

   The best-preserved skeleton was found enclosed in a casting of clay. All the vertebrae and other bones excepting the skull were intact. Careful measurement of this specimen indicated it was a man seven and a half feet tall.

Giant Skeletons And Copper Implements, Evidence of Ancient Civilization, Unearthed Near Rugby.

   One day last week while making an excavation into the mound-like formation, some farmer near Rugby in Bartholomew county unearthed a number of skeletons of giant size. Buried with the skeletons, were a number of various implements made of copper of curious shapes.

   These remains were taken to Dr. Regenas at Hope, who is an anthropologist and collector of antiquities. He pronounced them relics of the copper age, in the history of ancient civilization in America. Few remains of this character have been discovered in Indiana. Dr. Regenas is having photographs of them taken and is preparing an account of their discovery, which is to be published in a few days.

Seneca Iroquois Giant Buried in a Mound

Hopewell Seneca Iroquois Giant Buried in a Mound

    A Seneca of giant proportions having wandered west to the Mississippi, and from thence east again to the sea-coast, about the period of the colonization of the country, received a gun from a vessel, together with some ammunition, and an explanation of its use. Having returned to the Senecas at Ga-nun-da-sa-ga, be exhibited to them the wonderful implement of destruction, the first they had ever seen, and taught them how to use it. Soon after, from some mysterious cause, he was found dead; and this mound was raised over him on the place where he lay.Seneca Iroquois Giant Buried in a Mound

GIGANTIC BODY RECOVERED

   The body of a man, more gigantic than ever recorded in human history, has been unearthed in the Miami Valley, Ohio.

    The skeleton it is calculated must have belonged to a man 8 feet 1 1/2 inches in height.  It was found within a half-mile of Miamisburg in a locality that contains many relics of the mound builders.  Edward W. Gebhart and Edward Kaufman discovered it while they were working in a gravel pit.  Kauffman struck the hard substance with his pick and on examining it found it to be a skull.  When they unearthed the whole skeleton and finally realized its size they were aghast. The skeleton is of prehistoric age being fossilized.  Its gigantic proportions present a puzzling problem to archaeologists. 

    He is clearly a man and a very well-formed and well-proportioned one as to the limbs.  His skull is of an extremely low order, being but a shade higher than that of Pithecanthorpos Erectus found by Dr. Dubois in Java.  It is far below that of the most degraded living type.  The prehistoric giant must have had a head that differed little from that of a gorilla.

9 Foot Giant Nephilim Skeleton is Removed from an Athens County, Ohio Burial Mound

9 Foot Giant  Skeleton is Removed from an Athens County, Ohio Burial Mound

A small remnant of the burial mound can still be seen to the left of the barn in this old photo.

Messenger-Athens, Ohio, July 5, 1970. 
     Let's hope the men who are building highways around Athens aren't superstitious because they just might upset the resting place of a long dead, super-size Indian. This fellow rests under Harmony Road where he curves eastward near the United Dairy. That's in the area where the Appalachian Highway will join Route 33 and the Stimson Avenue extension will cross the Hocking River over the structure that will replace the old East Mill Bridge. Now we really don't know if the guys with bulldozers and drag lines and earthmovers are going to dig up that part of Harmony Road, but if they do, then let them be warned. Resting under that curve is believed to be an Indian whose companions were eight feet long, and he might be larger.
     Back in 1905 a county highway crew was working on Harmony Road when a large mound stood in their way, so they began excavating the obstacle and soon uncovered a burial place containing 32 skeletons. Thurman Knox was the foreman and he related the story years later to the late C. H. Harris of The Messenger, telling him the skeletons were more than eight feet tall. He also told of the workers finding arrowheads and huge clay bowls used for cooking. Over the entire mound was a foot thick layer of plastic clay in which gravel was mixed. This formed a protective covering over the entire mound, making it impervious to rainfall. Supporting this roof were clay columns of the diameter of a barrel and set on top of each other.
     Knox told Harris that when the bones of 32 men were uncovered, all but one disintegrated to dust when exposed to air. One skeleton, of a man between eight and nine feet tall was recovered almost intact. The bones of the forearm, partially eaten away, were still several inches longer than those of a large man. The jawbone, filled with perfect teeth, was so large it fitted over the jaw of a large man like a mask. The excavation at East Mill went down 15 feet and in the center of a skeleton group was found a hard clay boxlike structure about six feet wide and 12 feet long. It was never opened and now lies under the center of the road near the diary. Knox ordered his men not to disturb the burial container and the workers felt that it probably held the bones of the chiefs.

8 Foot Human Giant Discovered While Hauling Gravel in Northern Minnesota

 8 Foot Human Giant Discovered While Hauling 

Gravel in Northern Minnesota

Minnesota is a hotbed for the discovery of giant human skeletons that were a western extension of the Maritime Archaic that inhabited the Atlantic coastal regions to the Great Lakes.

Star and Sentinel, August, 1, 1915
      Battle Lake, Minn.-While hauling gravel from the Thore Glende farm northwest of here workmen discovered a huge human skeleton. The jaw bones were in good state of preservation and were of mammoth size. The teeth were intact and about twice the size of the average man's. Some of the teeth looked as though they had been filled with cement, but in all probability were sound at the time of death and the enamel had decayed, leaving the darker colored interior exposed. The jaw was taken to St. Louis by L. D. Johnson, who was present when the skeleton was discovered and possibly experts there can throw some light upon the discovery. Those who saw the remains estimated that when living the man must have been fully eight feet in height.

Giant Human Race Discovered in South Charleston West Virginia Mound Complex

Giant Human Race Discovered in South Charleston, West Virginia Mound Complex

The map represents a small section of the vast burial mound complex that was constructed along the Kahawha River at present South Charleston West Virginia. Almost every month that was dug into by the Smithsonian Institute contained a giant human skeleton.

The arrow above on the map points this burial mound that can still be viewed within a cemetery.  The square enclosure that surrounded it is no longer visible.

Bureau of Ethnology, 5th Annual Report, 1883-4

“Below the center of No. 7 (see plate), sunk into the original earth, was a vault about 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. Lying extended on the back in bottom of this, amid the rotten fragments of a bark coffin, was a decayed human skeleton, fully 7 feet long, with head west. No evidence of fire was to be seen, nor were any stone implementsdiscovered, but lying in a circle just above the hips were fifty circular pieces of white perforated shell, each about 1 inch in diameter and an eighth of an inch thick.”

Bureau of Ethnology 12th Annual Report, 1894

Kanawha County

No. 11 is now 35 by 40 feet at the base and  4 feet high. In the center 3 feet below the surface, was a vault 8 feet long and 3 feet wide. In the bottom of this, among the decayed fragments of bark wrappings, lay a skeleton fully seven feet long, extended at full length on the back, head west. Lying in a circle above the hips were fifty-two perforated shell disks about an inch in diameter and one-eighth of an inch thick.

Bureau of Ethnology 12th Annual Report, 1894

Kanawha County

Mound 19, the one farthest to the east, is 60 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. It was found tocontain a rude vault of angular stones; some of them as much as two men could lift. This had been built on the natural surface and was 8 feet long, 4 wide, and 3 high, but contained only the decaying fragments of a large skeleton and a few fragments of pottery.
