Others, like the Aztecs and Mayans recorded their encounters with a race of giants to the north when they ventured out on exploratory expeditions. Who were these red-haired giants that history books have ignored? Their burial sites and remains have been discovered on almost every continent. In the United States they have been unearthed in Virginia and New York state, Michigan, Illinois and Tennessee, Arizona and Nevada. And it's the state of Nevada that the story of the native Paiute's wars against the giant red-haired men transformed from a local myth to a scientific reality during 1924 when the Lovelock Caves were excavated. At one time the Lovelock Cave was known as Horseshoe cave because of its U-shaped interior. The cavern—located about 20 miles south of modern day Lovelock, Nevada, is approximately 40-feet deep and 60-feet wide. It's a very old cave that pre-dates humans on this continent. In prehistoric times it lay underneath a giant inland lake called Lahontan that covered much of western Nevada. Geologists have determined the cavern was formed by the lake's currents and wave action. TO CONTINUE READING CLICK ON ABOVE LINK

I heard about this finding a while back, and I have to admit I find it fascinating. Yet, I have to admit that I haven't looked that much into it. If it can be proved that these "giants" were here before the theorized timeline of the humans in the western hemisphere, we would really have to take a look at human development everywhere.
Where did they come from? Are they an offshoot from a Europe population that made it's way across the Atlantic long before we think is possible? So many questions...
I had to take one quote from the article: Many of the artifacts (but not the giants) can be viewed at the small natural history museum located in Winnemucca, Nevada
Why not display the skeletons? We cannot be selective about what put out for the public. Put all the info out there and let's debate.

Thanks, Jo. Those were some interesting articles. It fascinates me when oral history can be backed up with archeology, and there are so many mysteries in our history.
