Giants With Double-Rowed Teeth, Flattened Heads and Six Fingers

a reply to: kibric

This particular site has been addressed more times thanI can count. The short version is as soon as someone an explain to me how a giant managed to leave a footprint in igneous rock I will sign my house over to them. For those who don't do science, igneous rock is formed from magma which is very hot and liquid.

True , i just thought it was relevant

i do not know how or why some one would fake it

better not bet your house

if some one finds that plant

If someone needs a magical plant then no giant placed its foot in igneous rock and someone etched it in later. Besides, an alleged plant from South America has a low probability of use in South Africa even if it actually existed. I'm not too worried about having to call U-Haul for packing boxes in the near future

The Inuit of Canada said that one of the ships of the Franklin Expedition abandoned off the west coast of King William Island had the body of a "Giant" on board.

The Inuit record was dismissed at the time as the word of unreliable "savages". It should be considered that the Inuit said the expedition had resorted to cannibalism (True), and that one of the ships sunk off King William Island - where the Erebus was discovered in 2014.

If they were correct about the above, it is reasonable to presume that they saw something resembling a "Giant".

As archaeology techniques improve, more and more of the native oral historical records have been vindicated.

I think the point that makes is that 'giant' is a pretty relative term. Recall that this thread is not talking about a race of tallish types...it's promoting great big jeezly things well outside of normal human morphology.

They WERE referring to Big Jeezly Things...

The Inuit of Pelly Bay told Charles Francis Hall, John Rae and Francis McLintock, in separate accounts, of the Scary Big Jeezly Things (love that term. I'm stealing it.)

"...it took five men to lift it and, stranger still the corpse had very long teeth, as long as an Inuit's fingers..." It was said to be a member of a "Frightening Tribe" of such beings that lived on King William Island.

The thought in the archaeological community is that it could have been a reference to Franklin, himself. I know the osteology specialist for the recent expedition...I'll ask her next time I see her. But as much as there is value in oral tradition, you also don't bet the farm on it. That would be like basing our worldview upon...say...the Christian scriptures. Now who in their right mind...naw. Forget it.

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that. I would love to hear what you find out

Franklin is recorded as dying June 11, 1847, pretty early in the expedition. In that the ships were heated, at least for the first while, I would have thought his corpse would have gotten a little too "funky" to leave on board for so long.

Yes, the oral record is something hard to rely on completely. But I think archaeology is starting to lend a lot more credibility to those oral accounts than they previously enjoyed. Certainly more than I used to give them credit for.

The from the Dene up north to the Inuit they all have similar accounts of great "Big Jeezly Things". I find it hard to accept, but I find myself more willing to accept there is something to their accounts...

By way of taking oral accounts into...well...account...
