Do you have Q level clearance?
Here’s a seemingly odd fact to help explain some things about the 19th century when a lot of these skeletons were supposed to have been found and subsequently have disappeared.
Christopher Columbus Langdell is said to have in part got the job he was most famous for as Dean of Law at Harvard because he believed in evolution.
What might you ask would being a proponent of evolution have to do with the law? Well, except that the legal positivist (among whom Langdell was a chief) subsequently shoe-horned Darwin’s ideas into law to create legal positivism absolutely nothing. But being in the evolutionist camp was important enough, though unrelated, to give him a leg up in his career.
By this I mean to show that among intellectual elites of the late 19th century the idea that they were not unbiased observers, that they could be able to suppress evidence contrary to their conventional wisdom is not out of sorts.
A modern comparison can be found in the accusation that doctors are reluctant to go against conventional views on Covid because it might harm their careers.
You could even look at attitudes about alien life for comparison, for where once believers in God felt it natural to expect that there would be life everywhere, even intelligent life, it has since morphed into the notion that life out there somehow disproves the creation … talk about moving goalposts.
The naturalist of the 19th century had in their minds just finally escaped the quaint notions of their past and that they were sensitive to anything that might appear to drag society back seems a very real possibility … so since the Bible talks about giants it’s not unbelievable that actual human beings, flawed and all that, might decide there simply can’t be giants.
“His iron bed is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by a man’s forearm” (Deuteronomy 3:11). A cubit being about 18”
That is my 2¢.
This is from an occultic site.
It’s not Christian and should not be taken seriously.
Dinosaurs started out small, got to be quite gigantic, relatively speaking, and then dwindled in size. Today there are no giant reptiles existent - don’t want to argue about Nessie, although I won’t deny that some holdout from ancient times may be someday found in an unexplored place.
So the same could be true for humans - here evolution and the bible could be singing the same tune.
Lots of critters used to be a lot smaller or larger than their versions that exist today. I guess there are some fossils of fluke worm type animals that were yards and yards long? Haha, I hope those don’t make a comeback.
Some evidence maybe? from Iroquois oral sources matching other sources, other investigative parallel research, and mountain boy amateur archaeology from stomping in the woods for decades ...in my book...with statistical analyses and photos of latter...

Yes, it's been replaced by digital photography.
Yes and but be careful because it can take you off into the esoteric.
That there was a post-flood outbreak more or less in the land of Caanan explains why the Israelites were commanded to utterly wipe out the hybrid populations of the region.
Protestant Scripture scholar Dr. Michael Heisner has spoken extensively on this. His analysis is the most biblical I’ve seen. Check out his YouTube channel and his podcast, “The Naked Bible”.
some native indian stories of giants, all with red or blond hair and white skin
Some stories these giants had horns on their heads.
I conclude they crossed paths with Vikings that settled in the area
Giant piles of bull crap. It isn’t enough the problems of today without making stupid fools of yourselves. The earth is flat the moon landing was filmed in Hollywood and jet airliners spread mind control poison from the sky.
It would not surprise me in the least that the government would hide evidence of something that supports the Biblical narrative.
Otherwise, in answer to your question, no.
Michael Heiser has. His take is interesting
