The Secret Race of Giants in Ancient America: Has the truth been buried by the Smithsonian?
The legend of giant humans inhabiting North America in ancient times is widespread among Native American cultures. The Paiute tribe tells of red-haired cannibalistic giants called the Si-Te-Cah who were eventually trapped in a cave and burned alive. When the cave, known as Lovelock Cave in Nevada, was excavated in the early 1900s, thousands of artifacts were found along with numerous giant skeletons, some measuring over 8 feet tall. Other giant skeletons up to 10 feet tall have been unearthed all across America over the past two centuries. But the Smithsonian Institution, which took possession of many of these finds, now denies having any giant skeletons in their collection.
