Once a cowboy always a cowboy. I married a cowboy 45 years ago & he is still a cowboy. I don't like the use of the word cowboy in a derogative way. It show how little some people know. Everything this guy thinks he knows about cowboys he learned at the movies.

Thor Heyerdahl sailed a balsa raft from Peru to Polynesia, not a reed boat.

This is called confabulation. Heyerdahl actually DID sail a reed boat... the Ra... but it was sailed from Morocco almost to Barbados (The almost because they had to abandon the craft short of their destination when it was obvious it would sink before arrival).

It is really surprising, in this day and age of internet fact checking, that the author could not find this little tidbit and report it correctly.

The holes in the skull were for holding his space helmet in place.

Heard Steve Quayle talk about this on Coast-to-Coast last night, heard they had skeletons, and one caller said they saw one in Mexico at a auto parts "junk yard", like 12 feet tall, grunted, and liked coca-cola.

Trip out!

Nothing better than killing a thread. ...Didn't mean to.

More likely a case of not caring enough to look.

Vikings had everything everybody else had. If it wasn't nailed down. And sometimes even if it was.

Thanks for provoking the best chuckle I've had this evening.

There are neo-Vikings in our midst: they are usually most active around April 15th.

I thought anyone over 2m viz. 6'6" was a giant. But this is silly, I'm 1.88 m and shucks just missed bein' a "giant" nutz!!!! ;-P

The melenasians have stories of tall, red-headed and blue eyed people out in their area. (re: Dr Stepehen Oppenheimer, East Of Eden) They're everwhere!!!

[blam]

" (re: Dr Stepehen Oppenheimer, East Of Eden)"

I screwed that up. Should be Eden In The East

It must be nap time.

It was Bigfoot vacationing in Fiji and he got mugged to death....

6'2" was pretty tall 3,000 years ago.

But it's not "pretty tall" today. So some guy was in the upper 2 percential of the height bell curve 3,000 years ago. What's the big deal?

BTW. With a diet and living conditions not too different than 3,000 years ago, George Washington was 6'2" .

Blam are you a Carolina Dog owner? Also the .com is not working at the moment, but the .org is: Dixie Dingo. The .com used to be my design until Gunnell went loco on me.

"Blam are you a Carolina Dog owner? "

Don't think so but, I have a 'Yellow Lab' that I'm suspicious about. See my dogs on my profile page.

Modern polynesians are amongst the largest people on earth. There is nothing unusual about a big skeleton in that part of the world.

The article is an interesting read until you get to the following quote near the end:

"This is definitely a current UFO Base used by Aliens."

Hmmm. I can't consider this a credible source of any of its information.
