8 1/2 Foot Giant Human Skeletons Unearthed On Lundy Island, England

8 1/2 Foot Giant Human Skeletons Unearthed On 

Lundy Island, England

 The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, 1876   
 "Very different was the stature of some skeletons found at Lundy Island, in the Bristol Channel, a few years ago, of which the writer procured the following account for Dr. Thurnam from the son of Mr. Heaven, the chief resident on the island: "The skeletons were found on the top of the island, about 2 feet underground, in digging foundations for a wall in farm buildings. The number of the more perfect skeletons was seven, lying in a row with the heads to the West. The first in the row, a male, measured 8 feet 5 inches by the head were placed two upright stones with the head lying in a little hollow, and protected by a third stone. None of the others had any appearance of coffins with them but great numbers of limpet shells. The one measured was measured by my father, by whose orders the remains were buried again, but I am afraid much injured by the workmen in doing so. Some pottery and some beads were found with them, Mr. Etheridge, then curator of the British Institution, showed some of the pottery to a friend of his, an antiquary, I believe, who said it was undoubtedly the Ancient British.

Georgia's Big Mound
A Jawbone That Proves There Were Giants in Those Days
   Fort Gaines, Ga., Feb. 20 - About twelve miles below Fort Gaines, on what is commonly known as the Mercier Place, is a mound which is said to be the largest known in the United States, and undoubtedly the work of the mound builders of former generations.  Whether its the largest or not, it is a very large one, and deserves the distinction of being the boss one of Georgia.
  Its base cover more than two acres, and running up at an angle of about 45 degrees, it stands about 100 feet high.  Large oak trees several feet in diameter cover the sides and stand as witness to the great age of the mound.  Many years ago a gentleman had a small sized well dug from the top down into the heart of the mound, and among other things found the jawbone of a man that would easily slip over the head of an ordinary man of this generation.  His explorations were very meager, and since then nothing like and systematic search has ever been made.
   Leading off from the mound in the direction of the creek are ditches, at the present time several feet deep. They were evidently used by the mound builders as secret ways of egress in case of attack. The pace is worthy of close and careful observation.
