Overview
Do ancient megalithic stoneworks, out-of-place artifacts, DNA mysteries, and strange bones provide proof of their existence?
Ancient Giants of the Americas reveals an array of astounding truths, including:
Analyzing the historical and archaeological evidence, Xaviant Haze provides ample proof that our ancestors in the ancient Americas were much taller and a lot more mysterious than we imagine. Their exploits inspired the Native Americans to keep oral accounts of these mysterious giants, who left behind strange artifacts, massive cities of burial mounds, and the remains of a vast copper-mining network.
Who were these ancient giants? Did some really have six toes? Were some related to the elongated-skull peoples of Peru?
Your view of American history will never be the same after going down the giant rabbit hole that is Ancient Giants of the Americas.

CHAPTER 1
Mysteries of the Lost Copper Mining Giants
As the conquistadors marched forward to alter the course of history, they left behind written records describing their encounters with the surviving race of ancient giants. This race had mixed with the Native Americans and shrunk significantly throughout the ages, as most of the reported accounts put their height anywhere between 7 to 9 feet. This is a lot smaller than the rumored 12- to 20-foot giants of antiquity who supposedly built the world's great megalithic structures like Stonehenge. Currently the tallest man in the world is Turkey's Sultan Kösen, who measures an astonishing 8 feet, 3 inches. The tallest man ever in recorded history was the American Robert Wadlow, who was measured a staggering 8 foot, 11 inches. That's an inch shy of being a true-to-life 9-foot-tall giant. However, mainstream science blames Wadlow and Kösen's super tall statures as a rare case of gigantism brought on by a pituitary gland issue and not because of wayward giant genes. But the proof of giants can be found in more places than just your NBA League Pass subscription; they are most prevalent in museum archives, the mythological histories of the natives, and also in stone monuments and lost out of place artifacts that have been improperly dated or suppressed by academia.
Ancient astronaut theorists claim that a race of giants was created after the alien gods saw the how beautiful the Earth's women were and decided to impregnate them. This meddling of the gene pool created an ancient race that became the dominant life form on the planet. These gods soon grew intolerant of the giants who had become nefarious and wicked and decided to destroy them with earthquakes and floods. This story has since been rehashed and retold in various forms by basically every ancient civilization in recorded history.
As for the giants of the ancient Americas, one might be able to trace their mysterious origins all the way back to the Bronze Age copper traders that once inhabited the icy regions of the upper Midwest. The Bronze Age was a period in history epitomized by the usage of bronze from the times of 3200–600 BC. It's an important milestone in human history with one major issue: Where exactly did all the copper come from? Obviously we know that Europe had its own Bronze Age, but archaeologists have reluctantly begun to accept that a lot more copper was used than the amounts attributed to European mines. The answer, of course, is America. Science has determined that large quantities of copper were mined in the Midwest during the European Bronze Age. However, nobody knows what happened to the copper after it was mined there. To mainstream archaeology the answer is unquestionably "no," as they remain adamant that there was no transoceanic contacts in the Bronze Age. Perhaps they should look at the recent scientific literature, which provides ample amounts of evidence that the best copper of the era couldn't have possibly come from Europe.
More than 10 tons of copper oxide ingots recovered from a Bronze Age shipwreck off the coast of Turkey were found to be extraordinarily pure at more than 99.5 percent. Only Michigan Copper, which was mined in enormous amounts during the Bronze Age, is of this purity. Other similar ingots have been discovered in Crete, Sardinia, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria, Israel, Egypt, and England. Copper is one of the most common metals on the face of the Earth, however, copper that registers over 90 percent is extremely rare and has only been discovered in the mines of the American Midwest. Historians estimate that half a billion pounds of copper was mined by ancient miners throughout a period of a thousand years in ancient Michigan alone, yet nobody knows where that Michigan copper went. However, if you visit London's British Museum Bronze Age axe exhibit, you'll be informed that from about 2500 BC, the use of copper, which was formerly limited to areas of Southern Europe, somehow swept through the rest of the continent, despite the fact that nobody knows where the copper in Europe came from.
Native Indian legends claim the copper was mined by a seafaring red-haired race of giants. Legends of northern Wisconsin's Menomonie Indians say the ancient mines were first identified by magical stones possessed by the giants. When these giants pointed their enchanted stones at the ground a ringing sound would echo off the stones, detailing the location of the copper ore deposits like some sort of ancient metal detector. Besides their mining operation this mysterious giant race of miners left no other evidence of their existence behind; not one burial or crematory deposit exists at or near any of the ancient Midwestern mining sites. Maybe these giants only worked during the summer seasons, returning home across the Atlantic or moving south during the more frigid winter months. This would explain the absence of any buildings or copper melting facilities that would be required for longer stays. But where did this copper mining knowledge originate from? There isn't an established answer.
North America has no clear-cut source for this copper mining culture that, according to the natives, were a race of sailing vagabond giants. When questioned about the mines the natives only knew of their existence in distant memories and legends. Yet amazingly a few pieces of historical evidence associated with these mysterious miners have been found. In 1660 a French missionary named Claude-Jean Allouez stumbled upon a 12-inch copper statue that depicted a man with a beard, which is pretty peculiar considering that the native Indians couldn't grow beards. Another giant-linking artifact is the remarkable rock carved petroglyph (circa 1640) detailing one of their sailing ships, which can be seen at Copper Harbor, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan. During this thousand-year period of copper mining it would make sense that some of the miners branched out to explore the western areas of the American continent. They might have even begun to interbreed with the native populations during this time.
A fascinating discovery related to the red-haired giants comes from the Lovelock Cave on Lake Lahontan in Nevada. In 1924 a pair of bat guano farmers discovered a group of mummified giants buried with fishnets, duck decoys, and shell art in a cave in Lovelock, Nevada. The various sea-associated relics found in the burial point back to a time when Nevada was flush with abundant rivers, lakes, and water sources. A giant handprint and extremely large 15-inch sandal was also discovered in the cave, and one of the giant skulls was prominently displayed in the small town's museum up until 2010 before disappearing into memory due to a change in museum policy. The giant handprint, discovered in 2013, was recently vandalized in an attempt to erase its existence. The local Paiutes, a tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, have an oral tradition about a race of unfriendly and cannibalistic red-headed giants that came to the Lovelock cave area from unknown lands thousands of years ago.
It seems these mysterious giants trekked and sailed across the American West at least 3,000 years before the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They even brought back a shrub typically found in the rainforest gulches of the Pacific Northwest. This strange shrub with giant leaves and spiny stems doesn't appear anywhere else east of the Rocky Mountains. This plant has been used medicinally for hundreds of years to treat diabetes, tumors, and tuberculosis, and it appears that it was brought to the Lake Superior region in ancient times and planted at the exact same spots where the giant miners were excavating copper. These giants were well traveled; one of their arrowheads was discovered near a megalithic stone circle in the seaside town of Cornwall, England. When the farmer that discovered the arrowhead sent it to the British Museum for identification, the museum shockingly replied that the arrowhead was more than 5,000 years old and came from Michigan.
The fact that the arrowhead was found near a megalithic monument is even more intriguing considering that megaliths and giants have become synonymous throughout history. America has a megalithic history as well, albeit one rarely discussed. In the northeast, ancient dolmens and stone works that align to the solstices can be found in New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and all the way up into Canada and Nova Scotia. When the English Pilgrims began to settle the Northeast they were shocked to find the same types of megalithic structures they had known in Bronze Age Europe. The governor of Connecticut in 1657, John Winthrop Jr., a prominent member of the Royal Academy in London, wrote lengthy papers about these ancient stone forts and dolmens of New England. He compared them to the stone wonders found on the misty hills of Avebury in Southwest England. When asking the local Algonquian Indians for information regarding these Northeastern megaliths, Winthrop Jr. was disappointed that they didn't know any more than he did and attributed their mysterious origins to an ancient race of long-lost giants.
Eventually, the 20th-century dawned and the reports from Winthrop Jr. and others documenting pre-Colombian voyages across the Atlantic were subsequently left out of the history books. This meant that the possibilities of megalithic works found in America, which mirrored those of ancient Europe, were relegated to the list of "impossible," despite the obvious proof of their existence. Academia would soon just ignore the topic altogether, even when Harvard-educated genius Barry Fell wrote books about the subject in the 1970s in an effort to shift the paradigm. The establishment went out of their way to destroy him in the hopes that his information would never reach the enlightened minds of the future. They did a good job, as Fell's theories aren't taught in schools and his books have been assigned a permanent home in the dusty basements of most libraries.
In the Ohio Valley, an area rampant with mounds and giant bones, there is a Bronze Age henge similar to those discovered on the British Isles. Used as solar markers and calendars, a henge is usually a circular or oval-shaped area that's confined by earthworks comprised of timber, stone circles, monoliths, burials, and earthen mounds. These megalithic stone circle henges frighten archaeologists because it destroys their false timeline of history. From the Bureau of Ethnology, 12th Annual Report West Virginia:
Below the mouth of the Kanawha the caving in of the bank of the Ohio had exposed a wall of stone, on some of the slabs of which were rude totemic and other marks made be some pecking tool. Careful excavations revealed a circular enclosure about 100 feet diameter, inside measurements. The wall was composed of angular slabs of various sizes from the hills nearby and averaged 25 feet across the base by 3 1/2 in height. Many of the stones bore evidences of fire, the spaces between them (they were laid flat with joints broken) being filled with charcoal, ashes, and earth, separate or mixed ... The sediment from the overflows has accumulated to the depth of about 5 feet since the wall was built, and its existence was never suspected until exposed as above stated by the falling in of the bank. This may not be aboriginal work ... The doorway lintel in the lower mound is distinctively European.
There is also a solar henge complex in Newark, Ohio, which consists of a stone circle that tracked the moon and the movement of the sun. Recent excavations around the ditch of the henge unearthed a pile of burnt wood; carbon dating tests revealed a date between 1000 and 800 BC, placing the henge in a timeframe that doesn't jive with the historical paradigm put forth by established academia. In fact, the entire state of Ohio is home to a diverse amount of strange American anomalies, from mounds to giants to mysterious ancient tablets. It seems that the upper Ohio Valley was once host to a lost forgotten race of giants. Could this be where the giant miners of Michigan decided to call home when they weren't hammering out copper? Excavated mounds in Chillicothe, Ohio, produced art ranging from metal copper birds to numerous intricately carved effigy pipes and copper masks. One report even listed the burial of an ancient giant decked out in copper armor:
The party under the direction of chief Putnam, of the ethnological department of the exposition, who had been making excavations of the mounds in Ohio for several months met with rare success near Chillicothe in making one of the richest finds of the century in the way of prehistoric remains. While at work on a mound near Chillicothe, five hundred feet long, two hundred feet wide, and twenty-eight feet high, they found the massive skeleton of a man encased in copper armor, the head covered with an oval-shaped copper cap, the arms dressed in copper, with copper plates on the breast and stomach, while on each side of the head, on protruding sticks, were wooden antlers ornamented with copper.
Mound excavations done in the late 1800s revealed even more astonishing finds related to giants, including huge rust-corroded iron helmets, 39-pound copper axes, and elaborate conch and pyrula shell–inspired necklaces imported all the way from the Atlantic Ocean. Mounds in Bainbridge Ohio, revealed mummified bodies draped in pearl-covered robes, half a million fresh-water pearls, and more giants decked out in copper helmets and armor. Hundreds of newspaper reports commented on the vast amounts of giant discoveries that were being made in Ohio during the settling of America, similar to this account from the Stevens Point Daily Journal in 1886:
Ohio Account of Nine-Foot Giants
It is very evident that at an early day in the history of this country, this section of Ohio was an important camping ground for the American Indian. And, indeed, discoveries are frequently made, which lead people interested in the matter of prehistoric America to believe that a race of mankind, superior in size, strength, and intelligence to the common red man of the forest, flourished not only along the coasts East and South, but right here in southern Ohio. There are in this county several burying grounds, and two of them are located five miles west of this city, near Jasper, one on the farm of Mr. William Bush and one on Mr. Matthew Mark's farm. In a conversation with a gentleman who has seen [skeletons] unearthed at the Mark bank, we were told that many dozens of human skeletons have been exhumed since the bank was first opened. Some of these skeletons have been measured, and the largest have been found to be nine feet long and over. At one time ten skeletons were exhumed. They had been buried in a circle, standing in an erect position, and were in a comparatively well-preserved condition. One remarkable fact about all the skeletons unearthed at these places is the perfect state of preservation in which their teeth are found to be. Not a decayed tooth has been discovered, and this would seem to indicate that these people naturally had excellent teeth or some extraordinary manner of preserving them.
On September 26th, 1889, the Cincinnati Courier Gazette reported:
Gigantic Man Buried Alongside a Colossal Panther
About five feet above this layer, or nine feet from the summit of the mound, was a skeleton of a very large individual who had buried by the side of it the bones of a panther. ... The skull of this panther was very large, teeth very long and sharp. It would take a mound builder of a great deal of nerve to attack a beast of this size if he had nothing but a stone hatchet and bow and arrows to defend himself with. Just below this skeleton and lying on the layer of buried bones was a mediumsized personage who had buried around his neck in the manner of a necklace, between his upper and lower jaw, 147 bone and shell beads. The shell beads were made from the thick part of Conch and Pyrula shells. These shells must have been carried from the Atlantic Ocean, as they are ocean shells, and not found inland, or the tribe to which the man belonged may have traded with tribes near the ocean and thereby got the beads.
While digging in preparation for the World's Fair in Ohio, workers were shocked to discover the copper clad burial of an ancient giant monarch. The November 21st, 1891 edition of the Ohio Enterprise read:
Warren K. Morehead and Dr. Cresson, who have been prosecuting excavations here for the past two months in the interest of the World's Fair, have just made one of the richest finds of the century in the way of prehistoric remains. Those gentlemen have confined their excavation to the Hopewell Farm, seven miles from here, upon which are located some twenty-odd Indian mounds. On Saturday, they were at work on a mound 500 feet long, 200 feet wide and 28 feet high. At the depth of 14 feet, near the center of the mound, they exhumed the massive skeleton of a man encased in copper armor. The head was covered in an oval-shaped copper cap, the jaws had copper mouldings, the arms were dressed in copper, while copper plates covered the chest and stomach and on each side of the head, on protruding sticks were wooden antlers ornamented with copper. The mouth was stuffed with genuine pearls of immense size, but much decayed. Around the neck was a necklace of bear's teeth set with pearls. At the side of the male skeleton was also found a female skeleton, the two being supposed to be man and wife. Mr. Morehead and Mr. Cresson believe they have at last found the "King of the Mound Builders."
