While The Academic Community Refuses To Consider Any Possibilities For The Existence Of Giants, There Are Many Preserved Oral Traditions Which Speak Of A Time, Very Long Ago, When Our Ancestors Came Into Conflict With Them.
These Tribal Accounts Show Some Resemblance To Biblical Stories Of A Pre-Flood World Likewise Inhabited By Giants.
For Example, Genesis Tells Of The Nephilim, Who Were Supposedly Of Great Size And Strength. The Judaic Tradition Affirms That These Giants Sprang From The Union Of Fallen Angels With The Daughters Of Cain.
They Were Heavenly “Watchers” That Heaven Assigned To Watch Over Mankind, But Were Instead Seduced By The Beauty Of The Daughters Of Man To Father A Race Of Giants.
These Were The Fallen Angels, Sons Of God, The ‘Wani Elohim’ (Job 38.7).
Global Traditions, Although Varied From Region To Region, Have Fundamental Similarities Presenting A Haunting Commonality.
Thus Corrupted The Giants Were Generally Portrayed As Being Violently Swept Away By A Great Deluge. Most Of Them Perished, But A Few Survivors Supposedly Made Their Way To Various Parts Of The World.
Four Native American Tales….
Comanches
Chief Rolling Thunder Of The Comanches, A Great Plains Tribe, Once Gave The Following Account Of A Race Of White Giants In 1857:
“Innumerable Moons Ago, A Race Of White Men, 10 Feet High, And Far More Rich And Powerful Than Any White People Now Living, Here Inhabited A Large Range Of Country, Extending From The Rising To The Setting Sun. Their Fortifications Crowned The Summits Of The Mountains, Protecting Their Populous Cities Situated In The Intervening Valleys.
“They Excelled Every Other Nation Which Was Flourished, Either Before Or Since, In All Manner Of Cunning Handicraft—Were Brave And Warlike—Ruling Over The Land They Had Wrested From Its Ancient Possessors With A High And Haughty Hand. Compared With Them The Palefaces Of The Present Day Were Pygmies, In Both Art And Arms.”
Rolling Thunder Stated That The Great Spirit Wiped Out The White Giants When They Forgot Justice And Mercy And Became Too Proud.
Navajo
The Navajo Also Spoke Of A Race Of White Giants, Called The Starnake People. Their Legend Describes Them As A “Regal Race Of White Giants Endowed With Mining Technology Who Dominated The West, Enslaved Lesser Tribes, And Had Strongholds All Through The Americas. They Were Either Extinguished Or ‘Went Back To The Heavens.’”
Choctaw
The Choctaw Tribe Told Of A Race Of Giants That Once Inhabited What Is Now Tennessee. Their Ancestors Fought Against Them When They Arrived In Mississippi During Their Westward Migration. Their Tradition Talks Of The Nahullo, Their Name For The Giant Race, And Their Wonderful Stature.
Manta
According To The Manta People Of Peru, There Were Once Giants That Lived Among Them. According To Their Legend: “There Arrived On The Coast, In Boats Made Of Reeds, As Big As Large Ships, A Party Of Men Of Such Size That, From The Knee Downwards, Their Height Was As Great As The Entire Height Of An Ordinary Man, Though He Might Be Of Good Stature. Their Limbs Were All In Proportion To The Deformed Size Of Their Bodies, And It Was A Monstrous Thing To See Their Heads, With Hair Reaching To The Shoulders. Their Eyes Were As Large As Small Plates.” The Natives Believe That Heaven Wiped Them Out Due To Their Sexual Habits, Which The Natives Found Revolting.
Scientists Dealing With Hard Data Naturally Dismiss Such Stories As Mere Fables. They Explain Widespread Belief In Giants Found Among Cultures Around The Planet As The Result Of A “Collective Unconscious,” Or Universal Fear Of Overwhelming Forces Beyond Their Control.
These Same Conventional Archaeologists Likewise Deny The Occurrence Of Any Natural Catastrophe, Such As A Deluge, Powerful Enough To Obliterate A Previous World Order.
Geologists, On The Other Hand , Continue To Uncover More Evidence Establishing That Truly Cataclysmic Flooding Did Indeed Take Place During The Deglaciation Process Of The Last Ice Age, When Areas Inhabited By Early Human Population Centers In Europe And North America Were Overwhelmed By Major Catastrophic Events.
Some Of These Events Caused By What Is Widely Referred To As ‘Tectonic Rebound’ Which Results From The Release Of Pressure When The Weight Of The Great Sheets Of Ice Diminishes. The ‘Rebound’ Causes Some Land To Rise And Fall Dramatically And Would Also Generate Stupendous Tsunamis.
The Violence Of These Catastrophes And The Several Millennia That Separate Their Time From Ours Have Obscured Almost All Physical Evidence Of That Pre-Diluvian Era.
But More Imperishable Than Material Artifacts Are The Tribal Memories Of Peoples Whose Ancestors Actually Survived.
Oral Tradition Eventually Materialized Into Numerous Rock Petroglyphs. Their Interpretation Continues To Elude Academic Scholars, Who Sometimes Describe The Petroglyphs As The Meaningless Scratching Of Bored Natives. Several Anthropologists Have Used Terms Such As Idle Scrawls And Doodles To Characterize Native Rock Art.
