When Sir Francis Drake anchored at the same place in 1578, he didn’t see as big a giant, but did report that men well over seven feet in height were there. When Anthony Knyvet visited in 1592, he wrote of men ten to twelve feet in height. Several skeletons ten to eleven feet long were discovered there in 1615 by crewmen from the Dutch schooner Wilhelm Schouten.
When Commodore Byron visited in 1764, he also found giants there. He later wrote in his log that there were men there “of a gigantic stature.” One of his officers wrote of their height ”... some of them are certainly nine feet, if they do not exceed it.” This proved to be the last sighting of giants in the region.167
Such multiple sightings from so many different witnesses, whose political agendas were, moreover, often in conflict with each other, makes collusion unlikely, and make it more likely that there really were giants in South America as recently as 300 years ago.168
As indicated by the quotation from Saint Augustine that began this chapter however, it is the remains of the giants that perhaps tell the most interesting part of the story, for there is more to it than merely people of large stature.
a. Double Dentition
Giant researcher Stephen Quayle has assembled a veritable catalogue of testimonies and legends. Among a lengthy list of reports of giant remains of varying heights, Quayle notes that many of these remains bear a very unusual feature:
• In 1833, soldiers digging at Lompock Rancho, California, discovered a male skeleton 12 feet tall. The skeleton was surrounded by carved shells, stone axes, other artifacts. The skeleton had double rows of upper and lower teeth. Unfortunately, this body was secretly buried because the local Indians became upset about the remains.169
• A giant found off the California Coast on Santa Rosa Island in the 1800’s was distinguished by its double rows of teeth.170
• In Ohio in 1872, an earthen mound was discovered to contain three skeletons that in life would have stood at least eight feet tall. Each also had double teeth in front as well as in back of their mouth and in both upper and lower jaws.171
• Near Toledo, Ohio, 20 skeletons were discovered with jaws and teeth “twice as large as those of present day people.” The account also noted that odd hieroglyphics were found with the bodies.172
• Miners in Lovelock Cave, California, discovered a very tall, red-haired mummy in 1911. This mummy eventually went to a fraternal lodge where it is used for “initiation purposes.”173
• The Catalina Islands, off California, are the home of dwarf mammoth bones that were once roasted in ancient fire pits. These ....were eaten by human-like creatures who were giants with double rows of teeth.174
What interests us here is the fact that not all reports of giant remains (and I have listed but a very few of Quayle’s extensive catalogue) include the mention of double rows of teeth, but clearly, there are enough mentions to suggest that at least some of these creatures were carriers of a very unique gene, if not of a very different genetic make-up altogether.
But what was the purpose of such double dentition? No one knows for sure, but there is an interesting suggestion in the literature - both ancient and modern — concerning giants. The Old Testament book of Numbers records that not only was Canaan, the “promised land,” a land full of giants, but that these giants inhabited a land “which eateth up the inhabitants thereof,” implying cannibalism was a favorite practice of giant races.175 Even the children’s fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk records that the giant of the story is a man-eater.
b. Sexedigitism
There is yet another unusual feature reported for some giants. The Old Testament book of II Samuel (III Kings in the Catholic and Orthodox versions), 21:19-22 records that one such Canaanite giant “had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes.” This is repeated in I Chronicles 20:6. Even more peculiar is the fact that ancient Mayan images of their kings often depict them as having six fingers and six toes.176
B. Strange Legends and Chronological Clues
The picture becomes even more unusual when one considers various legends from around the world, legends that associate creation with wars, catastrophes, and with giants. The Inca legend of its creator god Viracocha, for example, not only has him annihilating previous pre-human worlds, the first by fire and the second by flood, he then takes two of his servants, who are “sometimes portrayed as a sort of Adam and Eve” and then
Went to (lake) Tiahuanaco where he sculpted a great piece of stone, forming an image of all the nations he intended to create. When he was finished, he commanded his two servants (to) memorize the names of all the tribes he had depicted. Viracocha then sent the two servants down different roads to tell the various tribes to “go forth and multiply and settle the land.” Viracocha then took another road, doing the same thing. As the god and servants went down the roads calling, people emerged from the springs, valleys, trees and other places and then spread through the countryside and formed the nations of Peru.177
Author Stephen Quayle rightly notes that this creation account appears to record the destruction by fire of one civilization that occurred before the Genesis account, a civilization that obviously would be “pre-Adamic”, and then recorded the destruction of another civilization by the Flood. There is even another odd parallel, and this is the creation of various tribes by Viracocha and his servants “calling out” to them, like the Genesis 1 account of God fashioning the world by a series of spoken fiats.178
However, this is not the most unusual thing about Viracocha. For the Incas, Viracocha was also a often described as a giant, with very light skin!179
In any case, the references to a creation and destruction prior to the creation of the current heaven, earth, and mankind is a clue, as we shall see, of when the scenario of an ancient war and planetary destruction took place: somewhere between the creation of all and the creation of man.
A stranger creation-flood-destruction account occurs in the legends of the North American Okanagan Indians.
(In) 1886, historian Hubert Howe Bancroft wrote of the Okanagan myth of their lost island of origin, Samah-tumi-whoo-lah:
“Long, long ago, when the sun was young and no bigger than a star, there was an island far off in the middle of the ocean. It was called Samah-tumi-whoo-lah, meaning “hite Man’s Island.” On it lived a race of giants — white giants. Their ruler was a tall white woman called Scomalt.... She could create whatever she wished.
For many years the white giants lived at peace, but at last they quarreled amongst themselves. Quarreling grew into war. The noise of battle was heard, and many people were killed. Scomalt was made very, very angry....
(S)he drove the wicked giants to one end of the White Man’s Island. When they were gathered together in one place, she broke off the piece of land and pushed it into the sea. For many days the floating island drifted on the water, tossed by waves and wind. All the people on it died except one man and one woman...
Seeing that their island was about to sink they built a canoe... after paddling for many days and nights, they came to some islands. They steered their way through them and at last reached the mainland.180
The parallels here with the Babylonian Enuma Elish and the destruction of Tiamat are amazing.
If one understands “island” to mean “planet”, following the suggestion of Alan Alford, and the “sea” as being surrounding space as he also suggests, then Scomalt’s destruction of “White Man’s Island” records the destruction of a planet. Moreover, the parallel is even more exact in that the apparent “ruler” of both planets is a woman, who becomes angry and causes great destruction. Here is where Alford’s “metaphor of exploded planet catastrophism” once again breaks down, for the Okanagan legend clearly has it that the “island” or planet is inhabited by intelligent life, a race of “white giants,” exactly as one would expect if the exploded planet were a large, solid, life-bearing planet, as has been previously conjectured! In other words, the Okanagan Legend records a real war as the cause o
f the destruction of a planet, a planet that is life-bearing.
But there is more.
The Legend also makes it clear that the survivors negotiated their way through “some islands,” braving “waves and wind” after having constructed a “canoe,” until at last they came to the “mainland.” If one extends the “islands” equals “planets” metaphor, more details of the story emerge, for it is clear that the “mainland” differs from the “islands” the survivors negotiate through in size. In other words, these “islands” might very well be the asteroid belt itself, the debris field of a previously exploded planet — shades of Van Flandern’s revised “multiple exploded planet hypothesis”! Moreover, even the “waves” and “wind” now take on a new significance, perhaps explaining why only two of the “white giants” survived, for the waves and wind might very well be the sheets of a violent plasma “electric wind” that permeated the “sea” of local space after the catastrophe.
In short, viewed in this way, the Okanagan Legend is about a war that exploded a planet, on which dwelt an intelligent race of giants, ruled by a woman, which race then constructed an “ark” of sorts to undertake a perilous journey to a new planet home. The detailed parallels to the Exploded Planet hypothesis and its massive water bearing planet, and to the Babylonian war-creation epic, the Enuma Elish, are amazing, and in my opinion, not coincidental.
C. Curious Coincidences and Connections
But if these parallels are not coincidental, what might they imply? Obviously, one answer would be that both the Enuma Elish and the Okanagan Legend, stem from some common source far in the mists of “prehistory,” a common “paleoancient Very High Civilization.” If so, then there ought to be similar connections between the classical Old World and the pre-Columbian New World.
This is indeed the case, but it presents even more difficulties. For example, there are clear cases of Egyptian remains in North America. As has been seen, in some few cases, the remains of giants found in the Americas are also found surrounded by hieroglyphs having similar characteristics to those of Egypt. Former Harvard University professor Barry Fell even believes that the Micmac Indians of Maine and Eastern Canada employed a script of hieroglyphs actually derived from Egyptian and Libyan symbols. He believes this because of the highly anomalous discovery of a tablet on shell mound on Eagle Neck on Long Island, New York. The tablet “is now stored at the Museum of the Americas in New York.”181
A deeper connection is to be found in human mitochondrial DNA itself. The conventional theory of the origin of the North and South American native Indian populations is, of course, that they migrated long ago over the “land bridge” across the Bering Straits between Asia and North America. In 1994, a team of Emory University scientists surveyed American Indian groups and their mitochondrial DNA, and found “four major varieties, each of which had components associated with groups in Asia.” Had the study stopped there it would have been a resounding scientific confirmation of the standard version of “prehistory.” But unfortunately for that version, the study also found a fifth group of mitochondrial DNA among the Ojibway, the Sioux, Navajo and other tribes, and “the only other place this group shows up is among Europeans.”182
The connections become even more amazing, if not perplexing. Consider the fact that the capital of the Aztecs, the magnificent “Venice of the New World,” Tenochtitlan, was situated “on an island in a large lake surrounded by canals.” But why build such a city in such a difficult place, one that required extraordinary engineering skills and labor? The answer: The city “was apparently built as a ‘replica’ of the one” that, in Aztex myths of their origins, “lay to the East of them and from which their ancestors came.” What makes this intriguing is “that no such city has ever been found — except in the description Plato gave of Atlantis. ”183
While it would be foolhardy to suggest that the Aztecs had read Plato, the “coincidence” points to another “deep connection,” since Plato claims to have derived his famous allegory of the lost planet from Egyptian sources, and the parallels of Egyptian legends with some of those in the New World’s indigenous populations has perplexed many scholars of the subject, from alternative researchers to those securely ensconced in the towers of academic orthodoxy.
But there is one other possibility to be considered, one that, to my knowledge, has not ever been mentioned in connection with the Aztec legends of their origins “in the east.” The Aztecs, like the Mayans, were gifted astronomers and mathematicians. Consequently, what if the reference to “eastern origins” is an astronomical one? As I noted in The Giza Death Star Destroyed, if one follows Alan Alford’s prescient suggestion that “eastern” references refer to planets lying outside the Earth’s orbit of the Sun — Mars, Jupiter, Saturn — and “western” references to mean those bodies inside the Earth’s orbit — Venus, Mercury, and the Sun itself — then the Aztec legends of their origins in the east, in this one instance at least, might be preserving yet another residue shared in common with the classical Old World of antiquity. It might be telling us that the Aztec’s original ringed city of canals and islands in the middle of a lake, was on another planet, if it was not the planet itself.
D. Conclusions
So what has emerged from this brief excursion into “giantology”? First, both ancient and more modern testimony exists testifying to living giants and to their remains. If this is loose corroboration of the scenario of a large exploded planet that was water and life-bearing, then perhaps such creatures or their remains as are found on earth are not indigenous to this planet. Their larger physiologies would appear to be more appropriate to a planetary environment of larger mass and greater gravity. Over time, as these creatures grew accustomed to the earth’s gravity, micro-evolutionary processes may have led to an adaptation of their physiology to smaller sizes.
Secondly, if this were the only corroborating evidence of the scenario, then it would, as has been noted, be rather loose and unconvincing. But the existence of a class of legends among many cultures — and I have cited but a very few — that refer to a giant race among ancient peoples increases its evidentiary value.
Thirdly, the fact that some of these legends, like the Okanagan Indian legend of Smocalt’s destruction of a planetary “island” with its warring “giants” or Viracocha’s two previous destructions of the world by fire and flood — if viewed from the paleophysical perspective suggested by Alford where “islands” equal “planets” and “waters” or “seas” or “oceans” represent the surrounding local space - seem to corroborate the scenario of an ancient and very real war as the cause of the destruction of that planet. The detailed parallels between the Okanagan Legend and the Babylonian War-Creation epic, the Enuma Elish, make such a scenario more likely.
Fourthly, the fact that the Okanagan Legend explicitly refers to a race of giants as inhabitants of that exploded, lost world and their subsequent survival and transplantation to another “island” planetary home, plus the existence of remains of such giants and reliable classical and modern testimony as to their existence would seem to be a piece of evidence that would suggest, contra Alford, that these legends are not metaphors of an “Exploded Planet Cult” or any other form of naturalistic catastrophism, but the very real, if garbled, accounts of a real war and its aftermath. The parallel with Mesopotamian accounts is further strengthened by the fact that some other North American indigenous Indian legends feature “monsters and giants which both perish by the thunderbolts sent by the Great Spirit.”184 This parallels the Enuma Elish and Marduk’s divine arrows and thunderbolts. Contrary to Alford, the giant remains are obviously not mere metaphors; their existence would thus seem to constitute loose corroboration of the fact that the wars in which these giants were repeatedly engaged were not mere metaphors either.
It is now time, then, to consider what type of weapon would be involved that would allow inhabitants on earth both to see and to record plasma discharges accurately.

Quayle records that “Near Mezanno in Sicily in 1516 there was found the skeleton of a giant whose height was at least 30 feet... and in 1548 and 1550 there were others found of the height of 30 feet. The Athenians found near their city skeletons measuring 34 and 36 feet in height. In Bohemia it is recorded that there was found a human skeleton 26 feet tall, and the leg-bones are still kept in a medieval castle in that country. ”
