I just read the OP but not the other comments and it stated that the Smithsonian destroyed "10's of thousands of skeletons that had been discovered," ... "all over America."
I just have to ask if there were so many skeletons laying around to be discovered, then why aren't they discovering thousands more now days? Surely they didn't exhaust such a vast supply way back in the old days? Something looks like fake news to me.

RWA3006 Look at the masthead of the publication linked in the first post. It says: WORLD NEWS DAILY REPORT WHERE FACTS DON'T MATTER I think that says it all about the publication's intent.

always like this poem It meant lot to me 50 years ago suppose in these days of instant truths its just a quaint ruse What is truth? Something of which we rarely speak; something some men seek; something flouted by those who lie; something of which Christ said, it is I; something with out one goes to hell; something judges expect one to tell; a word of honor, a word of praise, but not a very transparent phrase Truth does not exist, it is merely discussed, but true is whatever we can trust whether a man or a piece of gold a Titian or something we are told a likeness or something we are taught and the noun, the truth, is an afterthought. ~ Walter Kaufmann
maybe I should just take this as the joking it is let it be but there is underlying force about it that must be confronted I read that whole thing w/a critical eye & tried to keep an open thought process Confusing. The ‘Powell Doctrine' that the author posits. It was instituted to deny Pre-Columbian artifacts Yet open the door for a much earlier race of giants? Much earlier than even the indigenous showed up! It was the giants that built the Mounds Certainly those people over there by the campfire& strange dress couldn’t have created such a marvel And the idea of a cabal of Smithsonian curators hiding & destroying giant bones found in North America makes me blanche It doesn’t make sense from manifest destiny p.ov. Why would they obscure this information? If the goal was to displace the Indigenous people accomplishments? Just say it: the almighty big white guys were here first. We have evidence and proof so just get on with raping & pillaging w/even a cleaner conscious Plus- not sure what to make of all these late 1800’s artifact found that purport to be of pre- Columbian origins? If the Davenport Tablets or Tucson Lead Crosses are authentic artifacts and the Romans were in NoAm . -circa 100 a.d.; then we all be speaking Latin! They were brutal imperialistic force. Anyway its to easy to go off into silly land. Damn written symbols and the rabbit hole of theories. What’s behind them is usually NOT anything good. Even morally repugnant About power and justification Anyway I enjoyed the article. Like to stay informed, & try not to bring a axe to grind. And I must say think I’m interested in truth w/the big “T” Don’t like to think I’m being snookered Butte I may be Others may have the esoteric knowledge...

I noticed they carefully craft their speculative narrative to imply all kinds of BS. The video is mere click bait designed to keep viewers hooked for a few more minutes in order to get views $$$. There's lots of stuff like this on TV now days preying upon the bored, the ignorant, the gullible, and those in need of entertainment. I loathe this stuff. I lived in the Patagonia for over a year totally immersed in the culture, language, and had many friends there and loved the people. A significant part of the population is under educated and absurd legends and beliefs are common. It wouldn't be hard for a film crew to find a gaucho or campesino to share all kinds of BS with an air of legitimacy and this is exactly what the video has in it.

So you didn't find the SLOTH BONY SKIN interesting? I sure did. I learned about osteoderms a while back, I think in college and I think the only other mammal having them is the armadillo though they are common in many other non-mammals. No doubt there were many kinds of giants in the past and the only beef I have with these kinds of videos is they mix enough truth into the narrative to lend credibility to false implications in order to get more viewings, ($$$). I wish I had known about the sloth cave while I lived in the area because I would have loved to tour it.

Here's some fossilized bone and some kind of exterior armor plate that came off a critter in the Patagonia. They were given to me by paleontologist, Miguel Casillas in Tandil in appreciation for my guest radio interview on big game hunting. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/drums6h3y/image/upload/v1662929539/ncj9ysjbssjdqijszcgt.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/drums6h3y/image/upload/v1662929551/svifvb7falyqjwshhjeg.jpg)

RWA3006 It looks like you have a lifetime supply of maté gourds and straws. I lived in Uruguay in 1967-68. I never developed a taste for the stuff.

Dave is 100% correct on the Snopes issue. They are extreme left wing liars who have been busted so many times that even the left wingers admit that they are full of crap.

Yeah, a pal custom made a couple for me and I used to use them a lot. I drank the stuff like a native and liked it. I recently noticed there's a little store nearby that sells mate yerba and they even have my favorite brand, Taragui. I might get some and get all nostalgic again.

I think it’s getting kind of popular in the US. Not so much in Idaho though.

hi everyone, here is some evidence that i know of. this is a picture of 4 skulls which used to be in a backroom of the humboldt museum up until around 2008-2010 as 2008 was the last time they were photographed which is in lovelock nevada, the 3 smaller ones are 12-20% larger than average and i think the smaller 3 are just larger than average humans, the big reddish one though which is quite a bit bigger than the other 3 i think that reddish one couldve belonged to someone who was 8-9 feet tall. megalithicmarvels.com/2017/02/20/unlocking-lovelock-attack-of-the-red-haired-giants-part-3/This is a picture of a skeleton found on the catlina island which was between 8.5 and 9.5 feet tall, there are also many other skeletons which were in the 7-8 feet range that were found on this island some of which were photographed. syvnews.com/lifestyles/truth-or-myth-were-giants-bones-found-on-santa-catalina-island/article_8904b966-b8ac-5d7a-bca5-b7523eb9dd2b.htmlin this video at the 33:00 minute mark it showed a newspaper clipping that showed a picture of a skull in lovelock which the caption said was 11 inches tall which i think would make it even bigger than the reddish skull, ive been trying to find which news article said this as the video only shows the picture but i still havent found the source. Lovelock Cave: Red-Haired Giants of Ancient Nevada - DOCUMENTARY (Part 1) also smithsonian has found 7-8 foot skeletons in the 1800s which they have documented in their own journals yet they say that the largest specimen they have is a 6 foot 3 indian with a gigantism disorder. I think the reason they dont acknowledge the existence of the 7-8 foot skeletons in their own journals is because then that would mean the skeletons which were found that were said to be 9 foot+ would have to be talked about too.

that beach giant skull which was found by wpa workers was actually said to exist by Carolyn Spock who is the Head of Records at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory, she says that while the skull was really large that it was just a really robust 6 foot male which idk about that in my opinion. im not saying im an expert, but because the original news report said that large sized body bones were also found at the site, if this big skull was found and is confirmed by her to have existed i dont see how those large sized bones couldnt be real either, where they are now who knows though. she says that the bones of the specimen dont show a tall stature yet they dont have any other bones of it other than the skull itself, and if they did they would be able to tell its height without any doubts, but this is just my opinion www.sydhav.no/giants/victoria_texas.htmforbiddenarchaeology2016.weebly.com/blog-posts-about-giants/the-missing-morhiss-giant-not-missing-and-not-giant-by-wendy-dollari asked this person in the 2nd link myself Stacy Drake and to my surprise i actually got a response, they said the only way to see it now is through a proposal to the tribe

Check out the link for the “grand Monster Tennessean.” my.vanderbilt.edu/universitypress/2021/10/08/author-conversations-mastodons-to-mississippians/It turns out that if you do not have the the head or feet bones of the mastodon and you mount it upright it looks like a human skeleton. So were the missing pieces just lucky or by design. I know that back in 1845 they charged admission to see it. So maybe the missing parts would have confused matters, so best to leave them off.

I must quote the most brilliant man in Ed mohs. It was Pontius Pilate who asked, "What is truth" at a point in time when the truth would quickly begin to become very evasive to this day. Enter the domination of 'the prince of the power of the air', he has, is and will be in control. Giants or no giants ? Ha, good luck getting the truth on this one from the cosmos of the internet. rabbit hole(seriously) noun Synonyms of rabbit hole : a complexly bizarre or difficult state or situation conceived of as a hole into which one falls or descends I wanted to show this woman descending into the rabbit hole: this loss of self, becoming a servant to her job and to the work. —Jessica Chastain especially : one in which the pursuit of something (such as an answer or solution) leads to other questions, problems, or pursuits While trying to find the picture again on Google, I FELL DOWN THE COSMOS OF THE RABBIT HOLE, scrolling through a gallery of swimwear, then through "How to Be Sexier-Instantly" and then through all 23 slides of "Sexy Ideas for Long Hair." -Edith Zimmerman Because it is so early on in this work it is easy to say that we are either at the edge of a remarkable new and useful science or that we are careering down an environmental rabbit hole. —Jack Hitt In the season-two premiere of HBO's Westworld, viewers were again tossed down a rabbit hole filled with theories, where one open door leads to many more closed ones. —Josh Wigler and Zoe Haylock always like this poem It meant lot to me 50 years ago suppose in these days of instant truths its just a quaint ruse What is truth? Something of which we rarely speak; something some men seek; something flouted by those who lie; something of which Christ said, it is I; something with out one goes to hell; something judges expect one to tell; a word of honor, a word of praise, but not a very transparent phrase Truth does not exist, it is merely discussed, but true is whatever we can trust whether a man or a piece of gold a Titian or something we are told a likeness or something we are taught and the noun, the truth, is an afterthought. ~ Walter Kaufmann
