THE KOSSUTH GIANTS:

Kossuth: October was a month of some excitement in scientific circles as
seven strange and gigantic mummies were discovered just outside of Kossuth
Center. Marvin Rainwater, a local farmer, had been digging a new well on his
property and struck a deposit of very hard stone about nine feet below the
topsoil. In attempting to dig it out, he found that it was more than four feet
wide in every direction. Removing it would be a terrific chore. He considered
the possibility that this was a layer of bedrock, but that would certainly be
odd that close to the surface. Further, being somewhat familiar with geologic
deposits, he knew that the stone was not the familiar limestone for which
such Eastern Iowa areas like Stone City are famous. This
was something else entirely. Upon close inspection Rainwater also saw that
the stone was not as rough as might be expected in a natural formation, but
was in fact smooth and polished. Now very curious as to the nature of the
find, he called several friends from surrounding farms and they began an
excavation. They discovered that it was not a single stone, but rather one
of at least several irregularly cut slabs stretching out over a wide area, yet
fitted so tightly together that not even a knife blade could be put between
them. Each slab measured roughly 8'x10', and when struck with a
sledge seemed to ring with a hollowness that might indicate this was not a
floor but the outside portion of a ceiling. Rainwater wondered if he had not
stumbled upon some sort of buried stone structure on his property.
Believing that there might be a way to parlay living other than farming if he
played his cards right, Mr. Rainwater contacted Georg Von Podebrad College,
who in turn dispatched a team of archeologists, anthropologists, and geologists
to the site. The researchers were delighted with the anomalies presented them.
Firstly, the stone was not at all native to Iowa, but was in fact basalt-a
hard, dense volcanic rock composed of plagioclase, augite, and magnetite.
The type of stone used by the Egyptians to build their massive monuments.
The depth of the slabs indicated that they had been there for a very long time,
predating the advent of the kind of modern transportation and heavy machinery
needed to bring such a large quantity of foreign stone to Iowa, and quite
probably the slabs had been laid down before the last glacial age.

It is impossible to gauge with any certainty just how long they had been there.
After the soil covering the slabs had been entirely removed, the area covered
by the stones was a perfect square measuring 188 feet on each side. Digging
around the perimeter revealed that Rainwater had been correct, the structure
did go deeper into the ground. The cyclopean structure was revealed to be a
pyramid similar in shape to one located at Marietta, Ohio, although those
mounds and monuments erected by the prehistoric Indians were made of sun
dried brick mixed with rushes. This technique, too, is curiously similar to the
Egyptian technique of brick making with straw and mud. It took many months,
but the entire structure was finally exposed, and on the eastern side was
found a massive filled in archway with strong resemblance to those of ancient
Greece. At the bottom of the arch was a smaller arch, measuring only 6' to
the capstone. This too had been filled in and blocked off. With genuine awe and
some hesitancy the scientists of the Rainwater
Site began the work of opening the smaller entryway, wondering what light from
the first torch penetrated the gloom of the ancient structure, Albert
Grosslockner gasped at what he thought were seven huge and exquisitely
detailed statues seated in a ring around a very large and deep fire pit. Moving
closer, he realized that the figures were not carved of stone, but were in fact
the mummified remains of some giant humanoid race.

Could what they found be in fact a prehistoric burial vault for some pre-human
creatures or was it a prison designed to hold some freakish aberration of nature?
The figures, were each fully ten feet tall even when measured seated in their
cross-legged positions. They all faced into the circle with arms folded across
their legs. Upon close examination it was seen that they had double rows of
teeth in their upper and lower jaws. The foreheads were unusually low and sloping
, with exceedingly prominent brows. The skin of the mysterious giants was
wrinkled and tough, as though tanned, and the hair of each of them was
distinctly red in color. Their faces, still very expressive even in death,
taunted the scientists with their silence. Who, or what, were these creatures,
how had they come to be locked in this stone room, and where had the stone
itself come from originally? After careful excavation of the site, the bodies
were removed for x-ray and autopsy examination. The excitement over the
find was far in excess of the "Gypsum Man" find in Iowa so many years before
-a hoax from which the Putnam Museum of Davenport had never fully recovered
from. These giants were very real. The medical examinations demonstrated that
there was definite skeletal structure, that they were organic creatures who had
once been very much alive.

I went to your link. I prefer my Spam thinly sliced and fried until crispy.

Apparently , the North American Indians have many stories
about these people ... " Si-Te Cahs "

You do know Prehistory means before writing?
Just wanting to make that clear.

Giant Prehistoric Beings Did Exist in the Remote Past . There have been many Skeletons unearthed showing this to be the case . Here is a Video Montage of the Numerous Finds by Archaeologists from all over the Planet . Are they a Hoax , or Real ? You Decide.................

Wow, this is very interesting. I went on the website, and it mentioned that a man had discovered a large quartzitised fossil human molar tooth, far too big for any normal modern man not far from where I live.

It's not entirely impossible i guess, who knows what evolution had in mind for our earliest ancestors. It seems to me like they were our distant cousins.

Although calling someone 7ft a Giant seems to a little bit of a stretch, i imagine my giants as they are in Harry Potter

EDIT: Ok i read a bit more, skeletons were over 8ft tall with 18inch skulls. It is truly a great find

They reckon they sported a double row of teeth!

I bet their dentists were good at running !

... and this site is an eye opener too .

That picture is a known hoax lol , that doesnt help the theory at all.......ancient giant race, yeah probably......but THAT big? I doubt it.......

reply to post by Zanti Misfit


I read somewhere that all those giants in that video were apart of a contest to see who could make the most believable giant skeletons....

The giant pics are all faked. Even if you can't pick out the subtle clues, there are a couple of more obvious things to observe in most of the pics.

A) notice the detail variations. You can actually see more fine grained detail on the skeletons and asorted bones than in the back ground. That tips you off that the photos are taken seperately and blended together.

B) in several photos the physical geometery presented is out alignment. There is one in particular that has a flat piece of ground running through the back ground picture with a skeleton inlaid in a "laying on it's side against a dirt background" fashion. If you pay close attention to this geometery you will see this. It is a similar effect as those impossible geometery illusions that show a waterfall fed by a stream that is in turn fed by the same waterfall.

We know about these sites. Some cite where they got the story from, several haven't and are using it to back up their case about REAL giants. If you're a true believer in the paranormal, be very skeptical about "proven sources". We acknowledge that the Kossuth Giants and Putnam Paralellogram (and 98% of all our stories) are totally made up, but intentionally similar enough to others of these story types that they slot right into their respective genres very well. It should tell you something about the whole paranormal genre that something very clearly set up to be paranormal humor can be quoted as a legitimate source by "real" websites devoted to uncovering the "truth".

So much for the Kossuth Giants.

hey fiber what is your expertise in this field to stand on your present ideas THEY DID NOT EXIST/
I guess you are saying the bible is full of shizzle huh?
you are stating several authors such as jonathon grey are full of shizzle as well?
Please do tell us your education back ground as i see you have a new account? govt?

This one was part of the contest:

news.nationalgeographic.com...

The woman in a box is a statute.

It's very true... many skeletons have been found in the past... it's a hidden secret among the academia that no one talks about Giants, and any information or evidence that goes with it.

reply to post by Pauligirl


Correction, the woman in a box is actually the “Strand giant”
www.uctaa.net...

In 1895, a fossilized giant was apparently discovered in County Antrim, Ireland and shipped to London where it was photographed and the picture published in The Strand magazine. This giant was reportedly taller than the Cardiff Giant at over 12 feet. Somehow in spite of its size, the "Fossilized Irish Giant" managed to disappear shortly after this picture was taken.

Unfortunately, no scientist ever managed to examine this particular "fossil" before it was "lost." As a result, there are still those today who use the Irish Giant as clear and convincing evidence of the literal truth of Genesis 6:4 (Just do a web search on Fossilized Irish Giant.)

Three things to note:

1. Look at the similarities of pose between the proven fake Cardiff Giant and the mysteriously missing Irish Giant. Does this not suggest that someone copied PT Barnum's idea of copying the Cardiff Giant?
2. Does the perspective look right in this photograph? Is the "giant" really taller than that freight car in the background. Or is this a carefully selected camera angle to make a much smaller statue look immense? Is the photograph of the fake itself a fake?
3. The Strand[1] was primarily a fiction magazine. It also published puzzles and brain-teasers.

And yet today there are those who believe the Irish Giant was real.

reply to post by allprowolfy


I stated the images were fakes and explained how I can identify them as such.

You draw a number of stark conclusions from that.

I have in fact worked for the government in the past, as an infantryman.

Never worked for any intelligence agency, not directly anyhow. I have no ties to any government conspiracies and i am in fact rather dubious of the government, despite my service, or perhaps because of it.

As for what is contained in the bible, I find it can be an interesting read and in some cases even historically educational. It's the people that base their view of existance off of it's words that concern me.

Who said there weren't Athiests in fox holes? I call BS!
