“These giants denied the existence of a Great Spirit, so he caused a great rain
storm to come, and the water kept rising higher and higher so that it drove
these proud, and conceited giants from the low ground to the hills, and thence
to the mountains, but at last even the mountain tops were submerged and then
those mammoth men were all drowned. After the flood had subsided, the Great
Spirit came to the conclusion that he had made man too large and powerful, and
that he would therefore, correct the mistake by creating a race of men of
smaller size and less strength. This is the reason, say the Indians that modern
men are small and not like the giants of old. They claim that this story is a
matter of Indian history, which has been handed down among them from time
immemorial.”9
Judging from Buffalo Bill’s autobiography, stories
of these giants are obviously not limited to the middle-east. But due to the
perceived lack of physical evidence, the existence of giants has long been
debated. Is the Biblical text speaking of giants in an allegoric sense, or did
giants really exist? In any case, simply finding fossils of giant humans would
close this debate once and for all, right?
Perhaps not.
One would think that if giant humanoids were as
proliferate as scripture indicates, there would be an abundance of fossil
evidence to prove it. But the sad fact is, while there are mountains of documented
evidence of unearthed humanoid skeletons of momentous proportions, most of
these findings are nowhere to be found. Why is this?
The Smithsonian Institute, easily the largest
museum complex in the world, consisting of 19 museums, 9 research centers, and
over 140 affiliate museums, has had long standing problems in the cataloging
and location of stored finds developing due to changing standards of
administrations over the last 150 years.10,11 Instead of diffusing
knowledge, as Mr. Smithson would have wished, this institution has become confused
with the problems of sprawling storage. What’s worse, the Smithsonian Institute
has allegedly even deliberately undertaken the task of ensuring that what they found and
continue to find fits in accordance with a version of history they have decided
to try to prove ever since 1881.
The cover-up and alleged suppression of archaeological
evidence began in late 1881 when John Wesley Powell, the geologist famous for
exploring the Grand Canyon, appointed Cyrus Thomas as the director of the
Eastern Mound Division of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of Ethnology.
When came to the Bureau of Ethnology he
was a “pronounced believer in the existence of a race of Mound Builders,
distinct from the American Indians.” However, John Wesley Powell, the director of the
Bureau of Ethnology, a very sympathetic man toward the American Indians, had
lived with the peaceful Winnebago Indians of Wisconsin for f as a youth and
felt that American Indians were unfairly thought of as primitive and savage.
