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
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.
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.
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 ..
The tallest WWE wrestler, Jorge “El Gigante” Gonzalez was 7’7” and weighed 460 pounds. He was from Argentina. Perhaps his ancestors were from a giant race!
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
I had a high school principal that credibly claimed to be a Patagon Indian in the late 1960s. He was 7'2". I was at least 6' at the time and he seemed huge to me.
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.
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.
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
@@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 Basically the explanation at the end of the video
@@GarkKahn bullshit. Every culture of the world Africans North Europeans North east Asians North and South Americans 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
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.
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.
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.
Maybe giant really exist because in my country, there's island we called Langkawi. According to oral tradition, giant used to live in the island. We can see the trace of their object including a huge Cooking jar that can fit 3 adult human. Not just that, there's also ladle and kitchen plates. Even Persian king who settled in here around 500 a.d also said the same. Maybe they're neantherthal
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
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) 😢
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
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..
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
@༒ PERSEUS ༒ Or asians, or Aliens. Either of which is a posibility, though the last is a lot harder. Since we can see stars up there with our eyes. (is not all full of dyson swarms)
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That was old guess work until they literally dug up his skeleton and found him to be 9ft tall, look it up for yourself. Although I suppose it is equally possible that it was the skeleton of another warrior, but if so this doesn't do anything to disprove my point.
@@BUNJI82 Haha. Not true. This is what they've discovered from analysing his skeleton after digging it up. You could provide the name of the paper that proves me wrong if you like. I'll not be holding my breathe though. Nice try. 😂😂 Please provide names of articles that describe 9ft skeletons so I can look where they have been found to analyse it myself. Ty 😂😂 There are MANY articles. In fact every single article published on Ivar's skeleton proves you are wrong 😂😂
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.
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."
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!”
“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”).
"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"
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..
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.
I am a hand drawing arch eng. I absolutely love graphite & vellum. I know if I was alive during the exploration age I definitely would have been a map maker. The German Dude who figured out plate tectonics was an avid map maker btw
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Because there probably was its probably a offshoot in evolution that didnt make it because certain things can only get to certain sizes given envuroment i.e. whysomething like a dinosaur couldnt live today not enough oxygen or food to support the metabolism and mass quickest way to get darwined
@@todydn . It is Impossible anything popped itself into existence: gravity, quarks, centrifugal force, light, carbon and all. It is impossible those began their own existence, and close enough in time and space to cooperate in modifying themselves to higher states. And without consciousness.
@@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.
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
Been hitting up your old videos the last few days. You are definetly gettin dialed in brother!!! Keep it up. When people finally catch on to your content you are gonna take off. As always great stuff!! Professionally done and well researched!!
There also was the tale that they had only ONE leg and foot. That it was so large that they could run faster than any normal man with two legs. And that they could use their own foot as a sunshade. The illustrations are extremely funny.
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.
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.
@@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.
In Chile at school, we're taught that europeans thinked these people were giants because they were small at the time and a 1,8 m person was seen as a giant. PS: The man in the picture at 1:14 it is Sebastián Elcano, the one who take charge of the expedition after Magellan's death.
@@_E_Pluribus_Unum_ Portuguese and Spanish weren't that tall. The native South Americans are generally indeed short, they resemble a lot asians. Giants were probably an isolated tribe in Patagonia. I'm pretty sure 1,80m in that time would be considered tall.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
The Olmecs, when discovered by the Phoenicians who crossed the Atlantic, stated their height was amazing (reference the old Codecs). Old newspaper writings when people began to move west found mounds filled with giants.
@@ludokerfluffle6232 You can research, right? Or just plain lazy and expect answers directly? Go read the old Mesoamerica codecs. Then come back and we can talk.
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.
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.
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. 😂
That bisquet and contact with sailors must have given them diseases, wiped them out, just like the millions of Amzonians Francisco de Orellana saw but who where gone only a few decades later from small pox. We only found their lost cities in modern times....great videos, thanks....mappers have the most well laid out minds on this Earth!
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.
@@davidhodges449 Then David, you are informing yourself, and are therefore able to have an informed opinion free from the corruption of conventional "wisdom". Good for you, sir. Respect.
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
I still think there was giants. The Bible mentioned them. Also they are depicted by the Egyptians as rulers and while sitting down, there were as high as standing adults.
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.
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.
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. This is all easily accessible public info that you can find while researching a topic for a video. There's a nearly identical video published with the same sources and story made about a year ago. Please be respectful of history and please don't plagiarize a bunk video.
"...Maker---then as now, Niagara was roaring here. The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now.." Abraham Lincoln~1848 at Niagara falls
Totally could be dinosaurs he was talking about on that speech. Totally could be about the the limestone rock w a huge humanoid footprint or the giant humanoid graves nearby. I'm searching for another one he mentioned giants. Should've bookmarked them.
Old Norman castles (900 years old) here in Ireland have remarkably small internal doors. Most people today have to stoop down to go through them. The Medieval Suits-of-Armour on display in some castles would only fit small people today. People were obviously a lot smaller several hundred yeard ago.
Well it wouldn't be confirmed if all the evidence was seized afterwards anyways and theres no way for anyone to confirm that they didn't exist either, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence and it's also important to consider Giants are something that has been talked about in almost all cultures thousands of years even before the Europeans arrival to the Americas.
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. It's always some one off.
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.
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.
My grandma from Norway used to tell me about my grandpas family giants, showing me an article about 2 giant twin brothers. So I checked our family tree and found Henrik Brustad, 7,5 feet high, who became an attraction at Barnums. Interestingly all of them were born around the same spot the most famous giant viking came from. His name was Rollon, or Gange Rolv, which means walking Rolf, since he was too tall to ride a horse. He was given the region he would call Normandy, from the term Normann, which still today is what norwegians call each other. His grand daughter married the future king Huguet Capet, thus all french kings after this were descendents from a giant viking. Turns out the giants among vikings came from Azerbadjan, where they had fleed originally from Troy. Could well be they were descendents from giant Nefilim, as is told in the bible, that is part angels, part human.
punched the wrong letter, sorry. It is Hugues Capet. Trust me. The question of Gange Rolf's size has caused a lot of debate here in Norway. Nevertheless the last book by Thor Heyerdahl, also a source of controversy, put us on an interesting track. According to several archeologists who cooperated with him in his excavations in Azerbadjan, the skelletons of vikings they encountered were over 2m20 in size. @@cecileroy557
Wanted to be clear that they were well proportioned. Separating them from the randomly tall people (like the ones we see in the nba), who look like slenderman or not well proportioned if you see them in person.
Or what if the tribes were much taller and we were so obsessed with observing them specifically that they ended up catching more diseases from us? causing them to slowly die off or become sicker as a whole, and losing members and being sicker made it harder to resource gather so over time their statures began to reduce? I mean we can already see the difference 100 years or even just 25 years (1 generation) can make for people based off living conditions/standard for life. And depending on their burial practices we might not ever find identifiable remains... Do you think future civilizations will be able to distinguish our cremated ashes in an archeological dig???
Good points about disease and its effects...I've also read several accounts about the Smithsonian sending people to American discovery sites and taking the bones, which were never seen again- even in the Smithsonian
The Holy See was responsible for more deaths than any war, all in the name of God. The Crusades, inquisitions , Protestants , all were responsible for the black pope and The KingJames version of the Bible. Their vows were published not so long ago, they make me sick, as they have become all powerful, when their only job and reason to be here was to kill Protestant worshiping and the Geneva Bibles. The British Bar association, of all western courts , are the British Accreditation Registry, and only deal in commerce, but have spread like a plague, and include Admiralty, or Marshall law. You can wonder all you want, but the western nations and more are still under the empires law of commerce and not peace keepers but LE persons who maintain the little section of London and use their banks for that tiny island to keep their empire! US have been useful idiots for 160 years, and never were there a world war until the federal reserve banks.
Skeletal remains have been documented as well all around the US. Photos and verified accounts in the 1800-early 1900's as well. So you can decide for yourself, so yeah they existed AND it has been proven that cross ocean voyages were made from Middle east and Europe for all of history.
_What_ documentation? How were any accounts "verified"? _LINKS._ We won't just take your word for it... -- Failure to provide links/sources or any "look for yourself"/"I can't be bothered/don't have the time" excuses will be _documentation verifying_ you're not very good at rational skepticism.
Probably because there were giants. They were all over the planet in different places and its been covered up. The Smithsonian has countless skeletal remains hidden away and has for over 100 years !
Great video. Great channel, actually! I don't know why so many people get caught up in South American folklore written by European explorers. Especially when we study the indigonues civilizations of that region which, without written language, tell a far more complex, mysterious, and beautiful story.
Look! its a shill lol! Sorry guys, giants exist/existed and this video proves it lol. You have multple accounts of the same thing (giants) on maps and from explorers of all over. they all did that for a reason. because its what they saw. deal with it.
@@spinningballwithcurvedwater If you can provide any physical evidence then more power to you! When there is no physical evidence it can't exist in the paleontological records. I'm not saying giants never existed, I'm saying prove it.
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.
Wales has a big connection to Patagonia with migration and shared history. They also share a similar story in folklore of giants and giant mythology! King Arthur 🤴🦁
Patagonia means land of big feet in a prejorative way due to the fact that "pata" is the feet of an animal not of a person . The use of that expression (pata) remained until the end of the XIX century in Portugal . They (patagonians) were about 1,70 meters high and problably had primitive features that lend a bad impression , otherwise a portuguese captain would not had made such comment (portuguese reports were made under a scientific protocol to enable comparison, spanish had no such tradition and the circum navigation was written mostly by a priest , hence the inacurracy based on hear say) The reports on english an dutch are plagued with rumors and lies for finantial usual reasons (mostly layziness). One clear evidence is that in the 1700 a man with 1,7 meters tall was considered a "giant" in Europe, Frederick of Prussia had a private army of "giants" .
Okay so your whole argument is based on a ruler claiming his army consists of giants. Could it be he meant a giant army as in a large army consisting of many men? Or maybe he just did not want to claim.his army consisted of men of entirely average men? Lol. Check your hatred, dude. You seem to be very angry.
@@juliusfucik4011its not ancient History, there are records, they were buried, they used uniforms and there were coffins made in size...the guys who made the coffins complained about the specific trouble of making large coffins...1,75 meters! You guys in the US think that anything a hundred years old is ancient History and anything goes when speculating but ,for us in Europe, 18 century is recent History. I just cited the personal army of the Prussian King because its a funny story. I could point that all roman swords only fit the hand of a modern teenager or that Napoleon`s uniform only fits a modern 13 year old.
@@juliusfucik4011 besides wat i said ealier biological data is clear about the limits of human phisiology. Any human above 2,2 meters or above 130 Kg experiences phisological problems that go from shortness of life to losing health. There is no way that giant humans could exist, unless they were another hominid or another specie . Even we today have such heights only due to high quality food and modern medicine...despite written accounts of that being encoutered by portuguese and spanish during the 15 to 17 century, wich are mentioned has other than human...wich was never the case in Patagónia . I find interesting that in the US there are the same reports made by the US army, after the civil war, about the indians in the West were the average 1,6 meters american soldier would frequently fight the average 1,9 meter indian and complain a lot about having to alter steel cels to lock them up, calling them "giants" . You guys should know that, its your history and not far from Fernão de Magalhães account
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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!
They weren't that dumb, and people who were 6'7 or so existed in Europe, they weren't common obviously, they aren't today. But him saying they are well proportioned is to specify that they are different than just random extremely tall guys.
I believe there are current theories that Polynesians made it to South America. They definitely made it to Easter Island, just off the coast of Chile. They're large people even by today's standards so maybe these were the giants the European explorers encountered.
@@jamesbond8348 I pretty sure she said a mixed dna but a high percentage was from Persian origin. I would add a link to the video but RU-vid won't allow it. Search red headed giants from new Zealand and it should show up. 👍
It’s genuinely sad how many people refuse to believe this, some of the most famous explorers wrote about giants they themselves met and interacted with, some good some not so good. and the evidence over the past 300 years is overwhelming.
There have been many archaeological finds of giants but as every dig site needs a permit and is over looked by the Smithsonian’s any gigantic remains are quickly taken away and covered up by this society and the archaeologist are warned to keep quiet or their careers will be over. There are pictures online of giant remains just got to dig for them.
I'm sure that you heard of the giant killed by the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Kandahar Mountains? Red haired, six digits on each hand and foot, two rows of teeth, at least 14-15' tall, and weighed well over a thousand pounds. It destroyed a unit, special ops, prior to another unit killing it.
@@americanpariah1746 yeah that really intrigued me! I first heard that from a channel on here called bedtime stories, I believe that story is true of course no way to prove it but gut feeling says it’s a true story and it’s not out of the realms of possibilities
@@headgames3115 There's no "conspiracy theories" being spoken of here. These are facts. Maybe you should take a little of your time to research instead of wasting it trying to demean and belittle others about things that you have no clue about.
Actually according to the Bible The Giants were a race of people, that the Lord killed because of their pride in their strength. The time period in Genesis is tricky, so much that the Christians miss it. There seem to be two creations in Genesis but it's actually one. One about Adam is actually a dark saying and comes way after the creation of male and female, he them. It lasted a couple thousand yrs and is called the elder world
@@peculiareyes7538 yeah I don't think I'll take any biblical advice from someone who can't even understand a concept as simple as Adam and Eve being the first male and female. ...... If you can't understand that then you know NOTHING about the Bible. Try reading it again, this time use THE correct Bible (KJV)
When Ireland has legends of Giants and the book of invasions is rumoured to be connected with the Old Testament I find it amazing - always been Into legends Finn. MCCool wasn’t as big as the Scottish Giant but he was much more clever. Personally I wonder if Attack on Titan has sparked modern interest in it again
From my studies, the Earth plane we live has plenty of evidence of titans and giants. Looking further into Tartaria suggests there was a vastly intelligent group of people that built these amazing buildings we can' t build today. The history we've been taught is mostly all a lie with some truth put in. We weren't taught about Tartari for example or what our Earth is but pseudoscience that is in the mainstream. The schools in America and across the flat plane ponds actually taught a geocentric Earth rather than Heliocentric up into the 40's. The Geocentric Model holds stedfast as we can observe aspects that would suggest we are in fact on a horizontal Earth plane with lights in the sky that are close and rotate around us. My point is when one looks into these amazingly built buildings they no doubt show huge doors and steps for larger people or beings unlike today. There are things out there we have been kept in the dark about or fed some other partial truths and for me and my journey, I can conclude once one see's some truths it literally will set the mind free. I'd like to add, there are tons of huge rocks and mountain ranges that would suggest titans. This is pure speculation but something worth looking into. God bless.
Agreed!! Which leads me to believe that we are living in the time satan is loosed upon the earth. Hold on!! For if this is true, gog amd magog are just ahead. HalleluYah
Well after contact the entire tribe could have been wiped out by disease, with the exception of those who were mixed married or mix blooded because they were not among the giants when they died. We have reason to believe many tribes in north America did. Considering the health of European sailors at the time contact with them could and likely was a death sentence for many pre-contact tribes.
The fact that we have millions of people walking around past 7 feet today leads me to believe there were 7 footers back then. To a 5 foot person that’s a giant man
There were giants in those days, and even after the flood. Goliath is a notable one, being about 9 feet tall. But OG the king of Bashan had a bed 13 feet long and six feet wide. That dude was massive, but even he was only a remnant of the actual giant- which the Titans are most likely based off. I don't think its a coincidence Nimrod is carrying two full grown lions like kitty cats in both arms. The red hair giants of Kandahar is a pretty interesting tale too, told by us soldiers in Afghanistan, having a scuffle with them in a cave there. They were legit giants, over 10 feet, and were cannibalistic if I remember correctly.
Dense agricultural populations such as those of medieval Europe always end up being smaller in stature. It's well known that the hunter gatherer natives were frequently tall and muscular, and the newcomers were impressed. Hyperbole explains most of the writings.
Well I don't know what to make of the historical accounts favouring a seven and a half foot Giant - it makes no sense at all when we know modern house building Regulations currently stipulate 6 feet 6 inches for a standard sized door, which roughly speaking applies to any house built from the 1950's to now. Here's the intriguing bit - Nearly all the houses built before this, that's Edwardian, Victorian and Georgian, all have a standard door two feet larger at 8 feet 6 inches. This mostly goes unnoticed due to the modern workaround of taking the big door way and putting glass in the top third, above a standard door. That's 8 foot 6 inches everywhere but nobody is talking about these people. Why?
I read somewhere that napoleon set out to destroy all tall people, don't know if it's true or not, but I believe you about the higher doors, most architectural monuments have huge entrances!
@@robbobsjobs8456 what I am about to share with you my friend is probably gonna blow your mind - see those 8 foot spears, if you lay them down they shrink to being 3 inches high. Amazing. Ain't science brilliant!
The best I can make of this is that the Europeans exaggerated the size of people who were genuinely a lot bigger than them. There is a little evidence that both first, the Australians, and later the Polynesians got to S. America very early. Judging by the common employment of Polynesian men as bouncers in New Zealand, I would suggest the Patagonians had some Polynesian ancestry.
It'd make sense since native americans came to America during the ice age through Alaska and there are many theories that other tribes arrived to the south of America (Patagonia) through antartica while it was connected with Australia and New Zealand. But, I must say, I was in Ushuaia (southern most city on earth) and I visited a native museum they have and the natives from the island were small as fuck, I'm talking 140cm on average. So I don't know
The truth is, and the only truth that we can observe is...... we dont know fuck all about anything that we have been told while attending public school. Even the math they teach kids now is wrong.
During the Kon Tiki expedition of 1947, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl proved that the currents off of S. America could carry a craft to Polynesia. He proved so by building a raft of balsa wood and using materials the ancients would have had available to construct it. I have friends from Samoa and Tonga who swear they're descended from ancient South Americans.
