Ancient Human Skeleton of Monsterous Size Discovered in Arizona

 Ancient Human Skeleton of Monsterous Size Discovered in Arizona


Weekly Journal-Miner, July 26, 1911, 
One of the most wonderful discoveries of prehistoric life that have ever been made in Arizona, was reported yesterday by Peter Marx, of Juniper, and corroborated by E. S. Clark, attorney, which reveals the existence of a race of people, that is not generally accredited to the primitive era, in the huge proportions of a skeleton that is now in the possession of Mr. Marx. In detailing what was discovered by mere accident on his farm early in the present week, Mr. Marx gave the following interesting account of his discovery. "The bones of this monstrous human may have represented a race of men or a single individual. At any rate, the skeleton of the man in my possession, is sufficiently complete so that the dimensions, which are astounding, may be accurately ascertained and so far as the present generation is to be considered from what I can learn, there is no comparison to be formed. In the first place the skull is of such an abnormal size that if the average man of this day placed it over his head, he still would find room to move it backwards and forwards and up and down with ease, without disturbing his natural position. From measurements taken of this skull, a number 10 hat would be required to fit it. The teeth, several of which are still embedded in the jawbone, substantiate the immense size of the head. As to the bones, there is no disputing the fact that the owner was symmetrically formed of immense size and Herculean strength. The thigh and lower limbs indicate at least twice the size of the average man of today

The Giant Skeleton
It Will Be removed to Las Veaga, New Mexico
    Don Gregorio Varela and Marcelino Martinez have gone down to El Nuervo.  They will go out to the mesa Rica and endeavor to buy the skeleton of a human giant, which was last week unearthed by Luciano Quintana.
  The giant would pay if brought here.  The Smithsonian people would be proud of a giant of the dimensions of this one. 
A leg is well preserved.  It is eight feet in length. The skeleton will be on exhibition in the courthouse and anthropologists are especially invited o examine it.

A Giant Neanderthal Looking Skull is Discovered in New Jersey

A Giant Neanderthal Looking Skull is Discovered in New Jersey






One of the characteristics of the giant skeletons found in North America is their "archaic" type skulls that included a furrowed brow, a sloping forehead and a massive jaw.

The History of Cape May New Jersey, 1897
Neanderthal Giant Exhumed in New Jersey
      A skull was exhumed which must have belonged to one of great age, as the sutures were entirely obliterated and the tables firmly cemented together. From the superciliary ridges, which were well developed, the frontal bone receded almost on a direct line to the place of the occipital and parietal sutures, leaving no forehead and has the appearance of having been done by artificial means, as practiced at present on the Columbia among the Flat Heads. A jaw-bone of huge dimensions was likewise found, which was coveted by the observer; but the superstitions of the owner of the soil believing it was sacrilegious and that he would be visited by the just indignation of Heaven if he suffered any of the teeth to be removed, prevailed on us to return again to its mother earth.

Giant Nephilim Skeletons Found at Ohio's Serpent Mound

Giant Nephilim Skeletons Found at Ohio's Serpent Mound



New York Times, March 5, 1894
Giants of Other Days
Recent Discoveries Near Serpent Mound, Ohio.
From the Indianapolis Journal
Farmer Warren Cowen of Hillsborough, Ohio, while fox hunting recently discovered several ancient graves. They were situated upon a high point of land in Highland County, Ohio, about a mile from the famous Serpent Mound, where Prof. Putnam of Harvard made interesting discoveries. As soon as the weather permitted, Cowen excavated several of these graves. The graves were made of large limestone slabs, two and a half to three feet in length and a foot wide. These were set on edge about a foot apart. Similar slabs covered the graves. A single one somewhat larger was at the head and another at the foot. The top of the grave was two feet below the present surface.



Upon opening one of the graves a skeleton upward of six feet in length was brought to light. There were a number of stone hatchets, beads, and ornaments of peculiar workmanship near the right arm. Several large flint spear and arrowheads among the ribs gave evidence that the warrior had died in battle.
In another grave was the skeleton of a man equally large. The right leg had been broken during life, and the bones had grown together. The protuberance at the point of union was as large as an egg, and the limb was bent like a bow. At the feet lay a skull of some enemy or slave. Several pipes and pendants were near the shoulders.
In other graves, Cowen made equally interesting finds. It seems that the region was populated by fairly intelligent people and that the Serpent Mound was an object of worship. Near the graves is a large field in which broken implements, fragments of pottery, and burned stones give evidence of a prehistoric village site.

8 Foot Ancient Giant Human Skeleton Discovered in Cayuga County, New York

8 Foot Ancient Giant Human Skeleton Discovered in Cayuga County, New York



Weekly News and Democrat, Auburn New York,  May 30, 1878
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

12 Foot Prehistoric Giant Human Discovered in Missouri

12 Foot Prehistoric Giant Human Discovered in Missouri


Providence Evening Press- September 13, 1883
Must Have Been Goliath
Hon. J.H. Hainly, a well known and reliable citizen of Barnard, Mo., writes for the St. Joseph Gazette the particulars of the discovery of a giant skeletons four miles southwest of that place.  A farmer named John W.Hannon found the bones protruding from the bank of a ravine that has been cut by the action of the rains during the past years.  Mr Hannon worked several days in unearthing the skeleton, which proved to be that of a human being, whose height was twelve feet. The head through the temple was twelve inches, and the circumference forty inches, The ribs were being nearly four feet long and one and three quarter inches wide. The thigh bones were  more than thirty inches long, and large in proportion. When the earth was removed from the ribs stood up high enough to enable a man to crawl in and explore the interior skeleton, turn around and come  Some of the bones out with ease. The first Joint of the great toe, above the nail, was three inches long, and the entire foot eighteen inches in length.  The skeleton lay on its face, twenty feet below the surface of the ground and the toes imbedded in the earth, indicating that the body either fell or was placed there when the ground was soft. The left arm passed around backward, the hand resting on the spinal column, while the right arm was stretched out to the front and right. Some of the bones crumbled on exposure to the air, but many good specimens were preserved and are now on exhibition at Barnard.  Medical men are much interested.  The skeleton is generally pronounced as a valuable relic of the prehistoric race

8-10 Foot Giant Human Skeletons found in Arkansas Burial Mound



Evening Telegraph, September 15, 1870, 
A Giant Race-The Indian Mound Chickasawba-Human Skeletons Eight and Ten Feet in Height
Relics of a Former Race"Two miles west of Barfield Point, in Arkansas county, Ark., on the east bank of the lovely stream called Pemiscot river, stands an Indian mound, some twenty-five feet high and about an acre in area at the top.  The mound derives its name from Chickasawba, a chief of the Shawnee tribe, who lived, died and was buried there. This chief was one of the last race of hunters who lived in that beautiful region and who once peopled it quite thickly...

Aunt Kitty Williams, who now resides there, relates that Chickasawba would frequentlybring in for sale at one time as much as twenty gallons of pure honey in deerskins bags slung to his back. He was always a friend to the whites, a man of gigantic stature and herculean strength...He was buried at the foot of the mound on which he had lived, by his tribe, most of whom departed for the Nation immediately after performing his funeral rites...

Chickasawba was perfectly honest and the best informed chief of his tribe....A number of years ago, making an excavation into or near the foot of Chickasawba's mound, a portion of a Gigantic human skeleton was found. The men who were digging, becoming interested, unearthed the entire skeleton and from measurements given us by reliable parties the frame of the man towhom it belonged could not have been less than eight or nine feet in height. Under the skull, which slipped easily over the head of our informant (who, we will here state, is one of our best citizens), was found a peculiarly shaped earthen jar, resembling nothing in the way of Indian pottery which has before been seen by them. It was exactly the shape of the round-bodied, long necked carafes or water-decanters, a specimen of which may be seen on Gaston's dining table.
