- “The existence of giants here is confirmed” this was written in a letter to the French Academy of Sciences in 1766 by Dr. Matthew Maty, the secretary of the British Royal Society
He was referring to the confirmation of giants at the southern end of South America by English explorer John Byron..but reports of giants in this part of the world went back more than two centuries.

It is interesting that all around tthe world there stories about giants. It has been mentioned in biblical text and reference in stories of ancient times. Those who are skeptical should keep an open mind an research for th
For themselves. If nothing else enjoy what they find. If they did exsist it would challenge Darwin.
There are many interesting theories and even physical evidence to back much of it, but always the skeptic until proven beyond a doubt , I don’t believe the official narrative on almost everything. Timelines are impossible to prove, and history resets can occur every few generations, and repopulated infrastructure, turn key cities where the people don’t seem to fit. Argue me ta about technology, geometry, infrastructure and more, make great distractions as well as curiosity and we are learning fast , as it is said that all things will be known in the end times.
@Horizontal Horizons I’m sure I will
1:40 forget the giants. What about those sea monsters? lol.
People would be surprised how many times “Giants” come up in old text all over the world.
Just like a few other things that has been said down through the history that doesn't exist today, so everyone is suppose to believe they didn't exist.

My father is a native Peruvian from a small village high up in the Andean mountains. Closest city is 8-9hrs away on a single dirt road. One day will walking through Machu Picchu and marveling at the huge stone work he told me that his father and his father before him and so forth had mentioned that giants helped build a lot of the huge stone foundations in many of the pyramids. He said that our tribes and theirs did go to war long ago but eventually made peace.

It's interesting to point out the height of the Europeans who visited back then. Here in Oxfordshire there are many homes from 1600s onwards still occupied, the original entrances /door frames are so small. I could imagine if those people bumped into basketball players they would indeed seem like giants.
Same here in Wales, we have some truly tiny houses
Imagine meeting someone Shaq or Yao Ming's size when your national average height is like 4 - 5 foot. They'd be " giants" indeed.

yea its true,they were very small back in the middle ages and right up until the late 1800s, when anyone over 5ft esp in the 1500-1700 was considered a good height...so encountering tall tribes with members 6ft5 or 6ft7 would seem huge ..
Here in deep in the hearts of Kalimantan, the Indonesian Borneo, in Tewah, there's a family whose genes was somehow 2% not found in common ancestors for the Dayak (Austronesian Haplogroup). The family, in an interview, mentioned the story of how generations ago their ancestors sailed from Yunan to mine gold in Monterado, West Kalimantan, and when they settled in what would eventually be Tewah/Gunung Mas area, there was a group of giant, red haired, dark skinned (but not negroid/aboriginal) people who are humanoid by appearance but not in any way look like humans and these people spoke a distinct dialect of Dayaknese. The family mentioned these people were the true inhabitants of Borneo. The ancestors of the family decided to mingle with these red haired giant Proto-Dayak and eventually starts the family lineage. The family mentioned due to the comings of russian and portugese missionaries, the red haired giants decided to move from the area into the jungles and eventually that was the last time the family have ever made a contact. If anyone is interested, just go to Gunung Mas in Kalimantan, the family still lives there in a small village called Marikoi

that's scary. your principal had nephilim genetics.
I think being 14" taller than you is a little more than *seeming* huge.
My family is about as white as you can get. When I was in grade school, we were studying Native Americans and some of the kids were bragging about how they were part Native Americans. When I went home, I asked my father if any of our ancestors were Natives. He told me that we were decedents of the Blackfoot Indians. It took me a few years to realize that he was messing with me.

😂. It’s funny, because I’m 6’3” and I’m very close to one of my friends family - and they’re all like 5’3” or shorter. All 25-30 of them. They just keep marrying other 5’0” tall humans. They always make fun of me, saying shit like “there’s Rob’s tall ass”. Then I think about when I meet someone 15” taller then me; they’re like freaking NBA centers and look giant to me.
In this era of time, due to malnutrition and a general rough life, Europeans were about the same size as the family I was speaking about.. and a foot difference makes a BIG difference in appearance, even if it only means being15-20% taller.
Look up Ivar the Boneless, he was a Viking who was buried in England and who's skeleton has since been found who was 9ft in height. Huge weaponry has been found in Israel bearing the marks of use specific to battle that would have been too big for any normal man to have used even by today's standards. There are mentions of giants world over, but history is often airbrushed to fit the modern scientific narrative.
I agree.
Exactly. The article questions the accuracy of several documented cases but never questions the accuracy (or reason behind) the denials.😮
These stories are similar to some I was told before. During the height of the Mongol Empire, the Yuan Dynasty in China brought back to Peking, giant warriors 12 to 13 foot in height. They were fully armored and proportionate, carried massive spears and massive bows and across. There would be 2 of these giant warriors on every imperial gate to the city.
I forgot, I think it was Marco polo who recounted the history while he was a distinguished guest of Yuan court.
Where these giant warriors came from was anyone's guess. But at that time, the Mongols controlled the largest landmass empire ever in human history so they could have been brought from far away
Interesting story nonetheless
That Polo dude he made up some whacked shit about Asian back then... take his sayings with tweezers.
Reminds me of the Kashmir giants

I don't know about Patagonia or Asia, but it's said that one of Alexander The Great's biggest goals was to erase Cryptids out of the face of the Earth, and unfortunately he pretty much managed to do it inside his kingdom (as with the Blemmyes) 😢
I've met a few people from South America who said there have been stories about giants living there when the Spanish started to arrive for a very long time.
Giant trees, giant insects, giant mammals, giant reptiles and giant fish. But can't have giant humans in our past according to some in the comments 👍
Talk about subjective. Thanks for the video uploader, fascinating content.
There were news-paper articles in America of found skeletons of abnormal height 8 - 12 foot in the early 1900's and before.. This was common fact, until most of the evidence was disappeared.
These peoples brains are full misinformation about these subjects. I’ve literally been staring what you just said since I was a child. People don’t have common sense anymore.
Exactly
Not how things work mate their entirly difernt species
fish get big due to a phenomenon known as deep sea gigantism
Creststions get big due to the fact lobsters keep growing constantly
Bugs get big due to the way their body processes oxygen they hsve no lungs but absorbe oxygen through their back directly into their body so they need to grow to meet oxygen counts or they will die of oxygen poisoning
Humans can grow to be giants its a mutation as human growth os regulated by a specific hormonal gene that you can be born without
Issue your life exspectancy with this mutation is less than half that of a normal person
@@demonic_myst4503 that's great, you should write a book about it. Wait, where'd your comment go? 😂 You had a lot of information you had to say about how there's no such thing as giant humans and that they were a mutation of genes that was rarely seen.

I'm from Patagonia, as a child we where told that the "giants" used really big shoes to stand the cold. So when the first explorers arrived they say huge foot prints on the floor, and thats where the "big feet" came from
Patagonian here, at the age of 8 more o less in school we study the native tribes that inhabited our territory, tehuelches (aonikenk) and mapuches were my favorite subject, wich i find most interesting about aonikenk culture is that even tho they were really tall people, many of their myths involve Giants as villains and they even had a giant-slaying hero E-lal who come from the sky over the sea and teach the people how to make fire, leather clothing and houses, bows and arrows
All the mapuches I met were tiny!
So many Native cultures across the Americas have the stores about those who came from the sky whom taught them how to harvest the land, build cities, make steel etc. So many tribes that are so far apart tell the same story..
@@Gnosis639 they are usually described as white too
I think those who "come from from the sky over the sea" were Europeans.
Uhh nope, Aonikenk culture hasnt change since stone age to the arrive of europeans, i think its one of those cases of really ancient myths that come from a really ancient time
I live in the Argentinian Patagonia and I knew a part about this history and the myth of the tall people, I really enjoyed this video.

@@T-GOB The version i heard was like this
Did you hear about napoleon being small?
It's basically the same thing
Napoleon bonaparte had the avg height for the times he lived
He was tiny by our modern standards, the same applies to those giants. Most (realistic at least) were considered to be around 1.80m, if we discover them today they won't be considered giants anymore, just average humans

All of them always have had tall tribes who were 190 or 2 meters. Patagonian should along with tehuelches were tribes with 190-199 height. Europeans weren’t small, they still were 170 or 180 (normal and tall height) but Patagonians were in the 190-198 height which is tall but not giant myth

I drank ayahuasca in Colombia a few years back and I found myself in another dimension in a room with 2 very tall people (maybe 3-4 meters tall). They just momentarily looked at me and returned back to their work. I asked a wise old Shaman and he said, Oh yes the tall people and he had a special name for them that I can't remember. Other ayahuasceros have mentioned meeting these Anunaki sized entities.
😯
#LongLiveTheAnnunaki
I think they were nephelins or his sons mixed with humans
Wtf 😳 😱😱
Annunaki are a myth. People call fallen angels Annunaki but of course, they aren't even truly alive but spirits. Nephilim are giants, not fallen angels.
I am from Bariloche, a city within Patagonia, where a few remnants of what was the Tehuelche people still remain. Today they seem no different from other ethnic peoples due to mixture, but there are pictures here, and records, from late 19th century and early 20th, of native people from Tehuelche origin towering little less rhan 7 feet. No doubt 5' 5" tall europeans would see them as giants.

I've read that while among the Vikings and Zulus there were many six footers, that on the average both were 5' 7" which was still taller than average. As aside, I've seen many real full suits of medieval armor and many of them were for men 5' 5".
Exactly...
Though not proven why it's observed - hilly pastoral ppl tend to be taller than the average man - Zulus, Masai, Sikhs, Pathans (Pashtun) etc.
@@caniblmolstr4503 Nutrition. If you don't eat enough meat your shorter. People eat more meat nowadays. Also genetics to a lesser extent.
@@domehammer meat and milk. But milk mostly. Data was collected in the US and this correlation was found
Vitamin D and calcium seems to induce growth though no reason as to why has been conclusively proven.
Could be that as these are the nutrients needed by the bones to grow and if unavailable when younge the child doesn't grow.
@@domehammer not meat, you need calories and nutrients. At the dawn of civilization many people depended mostly on grains, so they were lacking many vital nutrients.
People were really short back then, we are much taller now. Well actually not really but 5'7 is average for men.
This is HUGE! Thanks for sharing
My mom was recently telling me that we have a story of a giant who was among our people, he lived as member of the tribe but when everyone began to starve he offered his body up for them to eat. He is remembered as a hero. She told me his name and everything but I totally forget. We're shoshone bannock.
Is your mother still with us?
I don’t doubt it natives know that giants inhabited Americas and had to fight them. I’ve heard of stories about great wars that happened in these lands against the giants. Most of them were cannibals and ate the natives which is why they had to fight them and kill them to protect the women and children. I don’t doubt it.
@@nashambenyisrael7689 yeah one of our peoples story is actually Love lock caves, the western shoshone and Ute people had to kill them. We're northern shoshone, there's eastern northern and western shoshone, then the Ute people are their own tribe with their own sub groups.
@@tchrisou812 yeah she is
Whoa! So a giant gave himself as food to save your people? Probably ate some people before that ad wanted to return the favor?
The gene pools in the ancient world weren't nearly as diverse as they are today so it seems probable that there would be pockets of civilizations with genetic features such as extreme height.
Except there was more genetic diversity before the great flood described by the Bible and by ancient cultures from many regions
Thank you. The whole myth that there was giants isn't bizarre at all to me. The average height just 5,000 years ago was 5'4 anybody 7 ft would be looked at as as giant. We have giants today.
It's possible I guess. But why are there no skeletal remains or other archeological findings?
Reports are often exaggerated, be it size of fish caught or troops on a battlefield, as in many roman historical writings. So why can't the description of giants be an exaggeration?
By "diverse" do you mean the exact opposite? As for centuries, thousands upon thousands of the best genetics of men alone who have been lost due to how many times humans have killed and led others to kill other human beings in immature battles that erode our collective possible genetics. Wasting biological human potential by wasting it away through "justified" mass executions and large scale gang fights we are conditioned to call war? If humanity is like a great boulder, humans have been recklessly stonecutting with little to no purpose, foresight, or self-awareness of long term and unforseen consequences. Etching away at us constantly, likely destroying all manner of genetic variation like a giant would have as it serves these pointless ""righteous and deserved"" conflicts.
The gene pools became more diverse as we started living closer and coser and homogenising compared to when we were spread out into smaller groups all over? Sure buddy
If u take two seconds to type "are humans more or less genetically diverse than in the past", ull realise our genes used to be more diverse.
As far as recordings go, there hasnt rlly been a giant set of humans (moreso just giant individuals which occurs in ever civilisation once in a while). History/science doesnt necessarily say giants didn't exist, it simply says we have no evidence of them existing so we dont know if they did. Which means, if we dont know, the answer to "did giants exist?" Is not "yes" its "we dont know" or "we dont have any accepted evidence of it". Also believe me if giants existed and there was substantial evidence, history journals and science journals would be clambering over eachother to get to publish it, the idea would spread like wildfire. Its not like its a conspiracy, no one is out here going "grrr i better make sure no one finds out giants existed" cause why would they?
My family ancestors is from that area. My father and mother both Argentinian and my grandparents all come from the rural areas.. my point in saying this. My dad and both granddad are right at 7' . I was 6' by the time I was 15 , so we're my sisters. My son who is now 20 is 6'9 and wears a size 15 shoe. And both my grandmother's are 6' and 6'2".... so yeah giants in that had to be real 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think, in general, there could have been human species of unusually tall heights, just as we know for certain now that there was one species of human that lived in Indonesia that was around 3 feet tall, homo floresiensis. Unfortunately we are left to speculate for giants, but the Flores Indonesians were also considered myth at one point, before the discovery of their fossils.
Yup, the Ebu Gogo myth was actually the Flores man.
Makes bigfoot possible.
I could think of nothing more terrifying than gigantic gay florists
Well the “patagones” were truly gigantic by the height standards of those times, and would still be among the tallest, if not the tallest peoples in the world, averaging around 6’4/193 cm on men. They are not so much as legends, as we have even photo evidence of them; they didn’t even went truly extinct that long ago. Something that differentiates them from other exceptionally tall ethnicities like the masai or even people from the dinaric alps to some extent is that unlike them they were not slim and slender with an “elongated” look. They were big in every sense, they had very broad shoulders, muscular arms, wide backs, strong and thick legs, huge hands and feet.
Other thing about them that was rare in american tribes was that they had thick and dense beards, and rarely removed them. Most native americans had very little to no beard, and what little they had was usually removed.
@@Gaboxxy96 Of course, it does not seem that this specific case of giants is all that accurate, but are rather a population of large homo sapiens. What is interesting however about the Flores Man is that it does not appear, at least with current evidence, to be a Homo sapien but rather a relative to Homo habilis and sapien. It is therefore a human that is not a "human" in the sense of the modern use of the word, similar to how Homo neanderthalensis are not sapien humans.
Furthermore, current evidence dates it to be around 50,000 years old. This makes me wonder, because if the dating is correct, local Indonesian folklore remembered H. floresiensis via oral history for 50,000 years. That alone warrants a discussion about how many ancient "myths" of giants may have had a more literal basis in a biological organism in the genus homo that was extraordinarily large, but was not numerous and due to its size, was not viable and went extinct.
There may have very well been more members of the genus Homo that we have absolutely no fossil record for, and perhaps they will forever remain unknown and only persist through random mythologies. Maybe there was once a genus of human with pointy ears, giving rise to the idea of fantasy elves. That is a stretch, I know, but it is indeed interesting.
@@T-GOB it’s not the case with patagones though, they were very tall but still part of our species, they were homo sapiens. And the northern variant (that is shorter) exists to this day.

Just like Rome.
Real giants were already long gone by then, so yeah, they just found slightly taller people a few hundred years ago.
I used to scoff at this idea , equating to flat earth lunacy and the stuff of fantasy/legend. However , after researching this subject extensively for the last few years , I am know absolutely convinced that the scientific , archeological , historic , literary and MYRIAD newspaper articles / reports prove that there WERE indeed giants on EVERY continent up to about 100 years ago. Abraham Lincoln in his own writings describes a giant he witnessed first hand in the Niagara Falls region. Even old artwork ( and maps ) display obvious giants in their depictions...and NO...there are NOT artistic exaggerations or distortions. A careful , open-minded and exhaustive dive into this subject will have you believing that the existence of giants is FAR MORE likely than most of us have been led to believe.
Read the Bible there recorded there. One giant king his bed was 13ft long. They are mentioned many times. The Israelites had to battle them for the promised land. Goliath was a giant who David (King David) fought.

Informative.
To answer the question, why Giants are on the map? Since simplicity wins for me, I’ll look no further than the definition of the word: map.
Map: a diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea showing physical features, cities, roads, etc.
nearly every single man 16-17 century who traveled there - saw and report the same thing, whether he wanted to disprove or confirm.
Who never saw giants there?
People who never been in Patagonia,
people who never lived in 16-17 century
and, in case of professors, - both.
Bald face lie, if giants like that exist back then why no skeletal remains if 7ft 8 inches was ever found in the pathagonia.

“Patagón” literally means “Big Footed” in Spanish (“Patagão” in Portuguese), hence Patagonia means, literally, “Land of the Big Foot”.
Most Continental Patagonia aboriginal inhabitants were large bodied, oftentimes taller than the average Europeans of that time.
Due to the harsh Patagonian climate, they wore animal skins for dress and thick, flurried and/or layered animal skins for shoes, which left a very large footprint.
The Continental Patagonian Aborigines Shoes and its large footprint explains how the first Europeans to arrive there named them (“Patagón/Patagones”), their land (“Patagonia”), and their taller than average Europeans height, plus the “creative license” and “imagination” of Europeans artists, would explain those exaggerated drawings of massive giants.
And then we have the Insular Patagonian Aborigines, particularly the Onas from Tierra del Fuego, which were considered among the Tallest people of all the Americas, until its genocide by the European settlers, its extinction as a people, and the quick intermarriage and mixing into the Argentine and Chilean mainstream of the very few survivors.
The Onas were usually naked, “dressed” with body paintings, and were known for traditionally making massive community bonfires, visible for European sailors from very long distances, long before any landings in Tierra del Fuego and/or any contacts with its inhabitants.
Hence the Europeans naming their Island Tierra del Fuego (“Land of Fire”).
According to these reports-- we have many giants in USA- a lot of men are 6'4, 6'5
"Patagão" is really ancient portuguese, not sure if this word is still used in Portugal, but in Brazil the word for foot is "pé", big foot would be "pézão" or "pé grande"
@@ericpabon2458 The average European man was way shorter in the 18th century in comparison with today's.
Not true no giant,s ever lived in that region of south america, the Bible say in the last day God like bring the wicked powerful illusion that they will beleve a lie..
Spanish & Portuguese were different back then. I often times feel like I don't speak spanish. I could only understand some people from Turkey.
Very well discussed. Your logic is linear and without overreach..
Remember, a race of 8ft tall giants were responsible for the Mound Builder Civilization in North America. We have news records all over the country of archeological findings, some photographs of the bodies, a quote from Abraham Lincoln about them, and 150 years later when the Smithsonian was asked what they did with all of the artifacts and skeletons, their admission was : "Ooops. We destroyed them."
Can you provide a source for them saying that?
Don't hold your breath.
@@elibennett3034”my source? My source is I made it the fuck up”
Actually, the Smithsonian Institute is tired of being asked questions regarding giant skeletons that should be in their collections. They are literally fed up with uneducated ya-hoo’s accusing them of destroying “evidence” of a lost race of giants. It is a waste of their time, energy, and resources every time this issue is brought before them. The simple facts, due to the evidence that exists, are that there never has been any material artifacts or otherwise existing in their collections that are proven to have come from or support the existence of a giant race of people that once populated anywhere on earth. So, the Institute has never said, “Oops! We destroyed them.” But they have said.; “ I wish these idiots would stop asking us this question!”
Stop lying
When the man reported back they were well proportioned, I'm sure he felt that.
Make a video about the giant lake that was thought to exist in the middle of South America where the Amazon and Plate Rivers were suppose to meet in XVI and XVII century maps. Great vid btw!
This belief was heavily sponsored and disseminated by the portuguese, so that their colony in Brazil could have a natural border to be claimed. There is some bit of truth to it, actually, if you think of the large innondated plains in the Pantanal and Chaco

I think the Patagonia giants are similar to those discussed in the Artic folklore. Native Indian giants. These are different than the red headed giants which I think could be traced back to Europe that have been found all over the world.
Before the Younger Dryas event, the planet flourished with megaflora and megafauna. It makes perfect sense that megahumans also existed, with some surviving over the passing centuries.
We have the bones of the megafauna. Where the bones of these giants? I've yet to see any proof. All circumstantial evidence.

The people who saw giants in the patagonia region was drinking Iawaska, chewing cocoa leaves that,s why everbody look like giants to them.
Been waiting for this episode 👍
There's a thousand year old drawing on a hill in Chile, called "El gigante de Atacama" (the giant of Atacama)
I've always wondered about that story, Gulliver's Travels.
They are also on old maps in US. Nevada was known as land of the giants, go around or be killed. They found 2 dead, in a cave not that long ago. A male and a female. Utah also found a huge 1, dead, near a creek that had partially dried up.
Yes and there's been much more than that ... dozens of giants remains found and published in US news papers only to have been completely made into children's myth after the post world War period
Nevada is the navel and Utah is the uterus...
What about the red headed giants they found mummified with red hair still intact? You can find these skulls in museums in Peru and Bolivia. They were different than the Patagonia tribe.
North America also had myths of red haired Giants that were Cannibals. This world truly is.mysterious

@@Sl33zytheclown in Iraq there are also myths of red haired giants who were man eaters... Interesting.
But mathematically People above or arround 3meters already need a different build than Humans, since they have problem with fluid circulation in their body also they need to be mich mor robuster since the their whole body weighs more. They wouldn't looks lile todays basketball players which are more high than wide but more like a giant dwarve. Also their feets would resemble alot like those of elephants.
Also with all these changes we shouldn't forget how massive such giants would be. They might be just double the size of us, but would already weigh half a ton.
Interestingly many people did wrote under the comments that christian doctrine would prevent the people from publicising their data on their "probably human giant research", but alot from resesrch in that direction is made by christian archelogist since in the non canon books of the bible their are talks about giants.
It also makes sense they were driven to the most southern part of the land mass since the native Americans themselves told stories of being attacked and going to war with giants. The ones that didn't want war or lost the war just left the area going farther and farther south until they couldn't anymore.
Since I was a boy I found old maps that describe giants. My whole life has been a catch 22. Without archaeological evidence of giants I have always been on the fence. You've said everything I believe in this video. Great stuff! I'm still torn between truth and and history. Always will be. I however agree with giants being 7' and we were all just in wonder and misunderstanding. Very cool vid! :D
There is archaeological evidence you're just not allowed to look at it or see it due to the US government acting fast to hide it or their allies who do the same especially the Vatican

...I saw a dude in a shopping mall who was 6'8". I overheard him saying this to someone as I walked by. I'm average height, 5'10"...and he sure seemed like a giant standing next to him. He was really skinny tho, so he wasn't athletic or anything. Not like today's basketball players, or wrestlers. But even so, I had to look waaaay up at his face.
Gives a new appreciation for those big men in those sports. A lot of wrestlers around that height, but weigh 300+ lbs and muscled up. And to think how those guys move in the ring...definitely gives a new appreciation for their athleticism.
@@besticudcumupwith202 my youngest brother is 204 cm or 6'7", but he does not really appear to me as a giant, just very tall. and he is quite an athlete, all his life the sportsman. but maybe he does not appear that tall to me because he grew up next to me, so i was just used to this. i am 'only' 5'8". but i could still put him down on the floor. 😂

I have a buddy who suffers from gigantism. He is 7 foot 2 inches tall. In 8th grade he walked in and we thought he was the substitute because he was already almost 7ft and had a full beard. Giants quite literally still exist. Just like most of history, it's typically exaggerated.

In burial mounds in North America there are skeletons 13 feet tall with six digits and double rows of teeth. That's not gigantism.
They revealed a few years ago that in Missouri and Pennsylvania and Ohio, those hills that are old burial mounds...we're excavated in the 1900s. The local archeological societies found 10 or 12 ft long bones buried there and huge skulls. They threw out or destroyed most of what they found for some reason except for a skull or 2. You can look up old news from 1912 that reports large bones discovered everywhere etc..
Same here in wv. Some were excavated back in the early 1800s, the Smithsonian called them large and very large people. Not necessarily a giant but what's interesting was that they were the only ones that wasn't stated exact measurements.
@@awakeningfaith2290 the women were over seven ft and the men were over ten feet.The largest ones getting up to 16 to 18 ft……Compared to the average 5ft person yea they are indeed giants.
@@awakeningfaith2290 There’s many old newspapers that include pictures and heights for the bones.Just gotta dig them up👍🏼
A lot of people suspect organizations like the Smithsonian of destroying any evidence which does not fit their dogma. In the early 20th century a cave near Winnemucca NV contained the bones of large red headed people was discovered. The Paiutes said they were a tribe of cannibals and were killed several hundred years prior. Sarah Winnemucca, the granddaughter of Chief Winnemucca had a ceremonial dress made from the red hair of these giants. A university from California took most of the skeletons to study them, and lost them within a few years. The remaining skeletons used to be on display in a museum in Winnemucca. About twenty years ago, they were pulled from display.
The Army Core of Engineers, I believe around the 80's or 90's, found a skull they believed to be that of early inhabitants of the US. They buried the skull, in an undisclosed location and sealed the site. I thought that was very peculiar at the time and wondered what they had truly discovered.
One of our peoples story is actually Love lock caves, the western shoshone and Ute people had to kill them. We're northern shoshone, there's eastern northern and western shoshone, then the Ute people are their own tribe with their own sub groups.
My mom was recently telling me that we have a story of a giant who was among our people, he lived as member of the tribe but when everyone began to starve he offered his body up for them to eat. He is remembered as a hero. She told me his name and everything but I totally forget. We're shoshone bannock.
Either way I believe there is such things as angels & nephilim. (giant race)
Here's another story, my grandmas grandma, or great great grandma, (who would've been like 180 by now) said that there was once giant man who was big and just clever enough to kill humans for food or pleasire and not be killed by others. He would wander the areas speaking to himself and looking for people who were left attended or on their own. Apparently later on he was seen in a traveling circus group wearing western clothes working as an attraction.
I'm sure at certain points there's been larger humans, or some variation closely related to us. They would definitely need a much more dense bone structure, as current humans end up with a lot of issues at certain heights above 7 ft. Depending on the person and genetics, even less can be very impactful. I think it's a cool thing to imagine though. Whether true or false, doesn't matter. It's a fun subject.
There was a higher oxygen content in the air back in the days and that means everything else was more buoyant
Neanderthals had higher bone density and wider hips. Scientists beleive they were much stronger than modern man, but could not run as fast or far.
Imagine if Pigmies died off a couple hundred years ago before photograph technology. Would we believe a race of proportional tiny people living in trees really existed?
@@christianxxx9393 the oxygen content just a few hundred years ago was not significantly higher than today, when people refer to high oxygen content they are talking about millions of years ago during the carboniferous period
@@christiankrueger221 we would if we had traces of them like their tools bones or homes
I wouldn't discount these reports just because they eventually disappeared from the maps. There are some peoples today who are very tall compared to Europeans at the time. The Dinka People in South Sudan had an 1.80 m (5"11') average hight with some individuals taller than 2.10 m (7"). Because of the well known genetic isolation of some of the South American natives, it's easily possible that there were some very tall tibes that the Europeans encountered, even if they weren't "giants". Many native groups in Patagonia were completely wiped out by introduced diseases, so they may have disappeared by the 19th century without leaving a trace.
Did you watch the video?
Yes, those points are mentioned.
Bro he literally said at the end that all they encountered where the tehuelche tribe which where a taller than average tribe. I swear you guys don’t even watch the video before commenting
The Patagonian natives existed in large numbers until the end of the 19th century and had little contact with the Europeans, mainly because Patagonia was an inhospitable region, where living was hard. The killing of these individuals was later with military incursions, although there are no precise sources. about its magnitude.
I'm meeting a lot of backpackers who have lived in and explored remote regions of Patagonia, and one of them, whom I got to know very well because he was the first mate on my boat for three months, a brilliant young man with a photographic memory, said he's encountered giants still living in that region.
did he describe them ?
@@dreamcoat9913 yes, and I just attributed it to the fact that he was very short and they were very tall, well over two meters, but he referred to them as "giants," and he chose his words carefu8

I believe its normal to be 6'6 & American. He was just probably 5'5.
Where did you find that picture in the thumbnail ?
Hello I am from the province of Tierra del Fuego more specifically, from the city of Rio Grande. In my opinion, if we look at where Magellan passed by, I don't think he saw Tehuelches. If I pass closer to the island of Tierra del Fuego, I might have spotted Selknam's, which more or less corresponds to the physical build you are talking about. They were nomadic, lived more to the north of Tierra del Fuego Island, wore guanaco skins for protection, were about 6 feet tall and always used bows and arrows for hunting. I imagine that in comparison to the Spanish people at that time, 6 feet tall they were very tall. Not only were they tall but they were also very corpulent.
Now, if they went down or saw the other side of the Strait of Magellan, towards Rio Gallegos, or Punta Arenas in Chile, they could have met the Alacalufes who, due to their geography, not only hunted guanacos but also fished and looked more like the Selknam's than the Yamans who were from the southern part of the island of Tierra del Fuego. The Yamans were only fishermen and did not go to the north of Tierra del Fuego Island because they were afraid of the Selknam's because they were bigger than them. The average yamana living in the ushuaia area was about 5'6" because they lived bent over doing their daily chores especially when canoeing or gathering near the coast on the south side of tierra del fuego.
There are books documenting the existence of whole civilizations of giant peoples in many parts of the world. Those sources are there for those who would rather actually examine historical fact than to play the fool and scoff at things he knows nothing about. This world and its history is in some ways very different from what you might think.
His-story is not OUR story.

I've read that the Giants where used to dicurage people from the guano trade in Chile. Side note the Colusa tribe of South west Florida where taller than the Spaniards, like the ones who shot Ponce De Laion in the leg that killed him .
The guano deposits are located in the northern regions of Chile. Patagonia is at its southern extreme, almost 5000 kms apart.
Also, the exploitation of guano as fertilizer came long after (2-3 centuries), the first encounter between Europeans and South American natives.
Yes, the men in that Florida tribe were strong and had an average height of 6'1, quite uniform according to all accounts.
I lived in Brazil and often saw giants. One woman got on my bus and her shoulder blades were tight against the roof of the bus! There are many Giants in Brazil. There are Giants and healthy proportional normalized people. But frightening because i stand tall at nearly 2 meters. And my hight only reached about the navel of one! And i could not reach the neck with my hand I don't believe.
The way people described giants in their records, I doubt they were talking about groups of people that are anywhere between an average of 6’-7’ tall. Just take a look at some of the gigantic weapons people have found. Nobody 6, 7, or even 8 feet tall would be able to wield them. Descriptions of giants also describe their cannibalism, immense strength, intelligence, etc. The more characteristics that can be attributed to giants in general, based on commonalities in historical writings, the more unlikely it is we’re dealing with a genetic defect or genetic isolation. They were all over the world, yet we’re described similarly by many different peoples. Nor were they another race of the human species that branched off through an evolutionary process. But, they were human and… something else to what we know as natural.
What's the music being played on piano. I love that music I never know the name of it though
There are tall, big-boned indigenous peoples who still exist in southern South America to this day. They are of distinct tribes co-inhabiting areas amongst other tribes whose people are of much smaller --- shorter and thinner --- stature. I've seen them myself. By today's standards they probably would not seem that out of place. But to the early explorers, who were much shorter than Europeans today, they could have very well seemed like giants, or at least giant-like, particularly given not necessarily their height, but their bigger, thicker bones and other features. I'm 6 feet even, but when go to NBA basketball games and sit courtside behind the bench, I feel as if I am amongst giants.
Giants skeletal remains have even been found here in Texas in Victoria.
Here in Alabama too but the Smithsonian institute keeps carting them off.

The most reliable historical source says there were giants, so there were giants, and they are known all over the world. In historical and even prehistoric and mythical stories like Gilgames, they are said to have created the greatest structures. There's no doubt they existed but they were also evil and had to be wiped out, by God and perhaps humans who who's lives were threatenedby them. They dominated man and subjugated them in slavery. Many were described in great detail in ancient greek writings. Many were extremely violent and known for great feats of strength, ability and unnatural power. Some were legends and are popularized today.
Goliath was a real giant used as a champion fighter similar to a gladiator
@@theyounggun67ify his shoulders were as broad as a man is tall, and most warriors only reached the height of his waist. He wasn't a flimsy giant either, we know there's people in modern times who have had hip problems or the growth hormone makes them mentally slower and other deficiencies like spinal deformities. Goliath was a warrior and was feared for his capabilities and was recognized as a champion of a nation that dominated many other warring nations, that alone speaks volumes of how scary these giants were to most men. David only killed him because he gave no F's and the only being he feared was God, and he couldn't have Goliath insulting his Gods name. He took it serious.
If I remember well, been some time that I read it, but in the book of Enoch there is also talk about giants. They were the offspring of the humans and the fallen angels. One of the reasons of the Flood was to get rid of the giants.
Without a doubt there were Giants on earth. The Bible makes that clear and evidence have been found throughout history. Amen and God bless. 🙏
@@mor4725 yeah, Revelation and Genesis particularly has the entire origin and destruction of them. How they were born from the demons who were the Fallen angels that lost the battle in heaven when they battled against the Archangel Michael. The fallen angels were cast down with Satan but had the power to influence men directly. Many demons took women for themselves and from these unnatural births came the Giants of old, or the giants of legend, like Hercules, Achilles, Gilgamesh, the Demigods of Japanese legent that lived in the top of Mt. Fuji or the demigods the Norse men worshipped as well like Thor and Loki. The fallen angels were Their own gods like Odin, Freya, Zeus, Aries, Kami, Amaterasu, Shiva, Vishnu, all servants to the Creator who rebelled and wanted subjects and worship for themselves.
So they eventually got wiped out.
We have a speech from Abraham Lincoln in the library of Congress website talking about Giants, giants bones in graves and scattered discoveries and many native stories that include artifacts.

I can see where some people may seem like giants to some. All of my uncles and male cousins on my moms side were between 6'5" and 6' 7". All of my moms sisters and her included were almost 6'. My brother is 6' 5". To most people they were giants!
Considering that people like Andrei the giant exist, and there are real people as large 8’ 3” alive today, it seems to perfectly possible that the recessive gigantism trait was commonly present in a certain part of the world a few centuries ago, but as contact with the outside world grew the recessive trait became less and less prevalent. These people weren’t giants so much as they were just very tall people.
most of the guys over 8ft or more cant walk ,without a walking stick or some type of aid...or even if they can eventually the height counts against them and this has been known for a long time..its known now that anyone whos very tall ,the height counts against them as they age..
But that recessive trait has never produced consistent results, enough for an entire population, as described by these stories, to exist.

They were just Polynesians, trust me, I lived in Tonga and Fiji. One day I was in downtown Suva Fiji and I randomly met some brothers attending the annual church conference. These brothers were from Rotuma and they were literal GIANTS. They were the biggest human beings I ever saw, and mind you I lived among Tongans, Fijians, and Samoans. They looked like living Tiki statues. These boys made Samoans look average size. These boys had calf muscles literally the size of basketballs and they all weighed somewhere near 600 lbs each. From what I heard, tourists are not allowed in Rotuma, maybe they are keeping the last giants safe from breeding with non-giants? P.S. these boys feet were nearly as wide as they were long, from being raised barefoot and bearing all that weight. Oh- and they dig up giant bones in Tonga from time to time, like when they rebuilt the gate around the royal palace in Tonga, they dug up some giant bones and the story circulated in Tonga. You won't hear this story anywhere, unless you speak to a Tongan. It's quite common for Tongans to still be very tall, and Fijians are known for their height as well.

The Rotuman people voted 85% in favor of disallowing organized tourism. You can visit but need to make accommodations to stay at a local house as there are no hotels due to the ban on organized tourism decided in a referendum held by the Rotuman people. As for physical characteristics on average they are a tad shorter than other Polynesian people. Obviously you most likely saw outliers who were bigger than average but I doubt you saw what you claim. For the sheer fact based on Your description they must’ve been 7-9 feet tall and built like NFL players which I highly doubt as that would stand out like a sore thumb.

There are reports of giant statured native Americans in North America from the early Spanish explorers as well. Some academic research into one such tribe revealed skeletons were 5'7" to 5'9" which would have been taller than the Europeans but obviously not giant.
But even as late as the "Indian Wars" of the 1800's in USA (i.e. during the Wild West days) many of the Native Americans engaging with the white settlers tended to be tall, sometimes over 6 feet when most of the settlers would have been well under 6 ft. Look it up if you are interested. This is what I have read and heard (even on the famous Jekyl Island where the Federal Reserve was conceived in 1913 which today is a Reserve for tourists there are allegedly remains of giant statured Native Americans).
When trying to reconcile the claims of crew members coming to the waist and their reported height it is important to rememver that the average height of the people of the Iberian Pennisula at the time was much shorter than today.
Great video. Great channel, actually! I don't know why so many people get caught up in South American folklore written by European explorers.
