Ancient Race of Giant Indians Discovered Near Stockton, California
At least 500 skeletons of what College of Pacific archaeologists declare were giant Indians- figuring in many ancient legends - were uncovered along with ancient Indian ceramics, by workmen excavating dirt near Stockton California.
1932 article described one of the giant skeletons unearthed in a burial mound near Stockton at 7 foot. The man on the right is holding a very large femur bone. I copied the bone, placed it where is back foot is, and stacked them 4 deep to get an idea of the size of the man that this belonged to. The femur's length is about 25% of the height of a person. Guessing that this man was 5 feet, 8 inches or 68 inches, and the femurs add to about 3 ¼ of that height. At 7 feet, each femur would be 21 inches in length. 3 ¼ femurs would be 68 inches. Looking at the size of the lower femur, it obviously belonged to a pretty robust individual.
