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.

It is likely that the visitors of  the Tercentennial, either at Bath or at Popham, may have 

the privilege of seeing skeletons of two of the magnificent specimens of physical manhood 

such as the American Indian of the days Sebenio, Samoset, Nahanada and Sansoa really 

were. Which, being interpreted, is that when James Perkins dug the cellar of his house at 

Popham Beach, on the knoll next north of the Riverside Hotel, the skeletons unearthed, 

who were, in life from six to seven feet in height, giants in fact. Mr. Perkins took the jaw 

bone of 

one of these Indians and placed it on his own face. It completely encased his jaw and he is a 

pretty good sized man. Mr. Perkins gathered all the bones of these two skeletons together 

and placed them in a barrel and reinterred them so. It is proposed to dig up the barrel and 

have the bones set together to illustrate what manner of inhabitants Weymouth and 

Popham discovered in the earliest years of the 17th century when they arrived in this 

section of Maine.

An Ancient Giant King With Silver Crown Unearthed at the Portsmouth,Ohio Earthworks

An Ancient Giant King With Silver Crown 

Unearthed at the Portsmouth, Ohio Earthworks

Bluffton Chronicle, Bluffton, Indiana, October 3, 1894
A Giants Remains Found. Portsmouth, Ohio 
   The skeleton of a man seven feet in height was found under an old oak on Pete Thompson's place, a few miles below this city, in Kentucky. The skeleton evidently belonged to a prehistoric race that threw up the earthworks still visible at that place and known as the "old fort.  A crown of beaten sterling silver encircled the head and there were many other evidences of the princely character of the "deceased". The find is considered a great one as the skeleton's position under the tree proves that it must have been entombed many hundreds of years ago. An exploring party of archaeologists will be on the ground and the details of the discovery will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution."

The "Old Fort" described is one part of a massive earthwork complex that extended from Portsmouth, Ohio, and across the river in Kentucky.

 The Bones Of A Giant Found in Minnesota
     A skull of heroic size and singular formation has been discovered among the relics of the mound-builders in the Red River Valley. The mound was 60 feet in diameter and 12 feet high. Near the center were found the bones of about a dozen men and women, mixed with the bones of various animals. The skull in question was the only perfect one and near it were found some abnormally large body bones. The man who bore it was evidently a giant. A thorough investigation of the mound and its contents will be made by the Historical Society.

A GIANT SKELETON DISCOVERED IN CAYUGA COUNTY, NEW YORK
      A Giant Skeleton - John White, while excavating with a party in Scipio, on Tuesday, exhumed the bones of two Indians.  The location of the find is on the farm of E. P. Hoskins, Indian Fields Road. The skeletons when first discovered were entire, and in a sitting position.
    Much care was taken in digging around them, to preserve them intact; but they fell apart in removal.  One of the skeletons was that of a giant, measuring three feet across the hips and eight feet in stature. Its lower jaw bone was of immense proportion and would easily span the head of any of the parties engaged in the discovery.  A number of trinkets usually accompanying the Indian remains were found with the bones

The Kanawha Spectator, Vol. I, 1953
     “The excavations made inthe Dunbar mound revealed it to be a double storied structure. The exploration was made by first sinking a vertical shaft through the center of the mound, down to and slightly below the original surface of the ground. This mound was about 175 feet in diameter and 35 feet high-as high as a modern three-story house. Within the mound were found successive layers of skeletons, some of them sepulchered in a stone vault, and those nearer the bottom in a large wooden vault. Some of the beams of the latter were of walnut, and were 12 inches in diameter.

“About half way down to the bottom the earth was mixed, for a depth of three or four feet, with ashes. One skeleton, still enclosed in a coffin made of bark, was in a better state of preservation than the others.
“Within the large wooden vault, near the bottom layer of earth, lay the principle figure, a huge skeleton measuring seven and a half feet in length and nineteen inches between the shoulder sockets. This figure lay prone, the head pointing toward the east. Around this skeleton were four others. Dr. Hale, who watched some of Colonel Norris’ excavations, states that the irregular positions of these four skeletons indicated that they had been placed in a standing position, at each of the four corners; and that their irregular heaps suggested to some who saw them ‘the possibility that they may have been buried alive, toaccompany their great chief to the happy hunting grounds and land of spirits.’”

Criel Mound positioned between two henges that were 666 feet in circumference. The sacred via is aligned to the winter solstice sunrise and the summer solstice sunset.

Giant Skeletons Found. 
Goshen Daily News, Saturday, November 26, 1892
   ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 36.—John Beal, a farmer living in the north part of this county, found some giant human skeletons while digging a hole in his field Friday. There were a half-dozen skulls of gigantic size. The skeletons were those of men who in their lifetime must have been at least 9 feet in height.

   This is the second historical report of giant human skeletons that have been found in Madison County, Indiana where Mounds State Park is located.  Another report was from Mounds State Park, where an underground tomb was located near the largest henge that contained a vault that housed giant humans.
