There are many newspaper articles from the 19th and early 20th centuries about the discovery of giant skeletons. It seems they disappear when the Smithsonian folks show up.
Newspaperman in the 1800s often made up tall tales to fill empty space in their newspapers.
“It seems they disappear when the Smithsonian folks show up.”
That seems to be the case about everything the Smithsonian gets its hands on. Got to keep a lid on things and maintain the “correct” historical and scientific narrative they have been pushing since Darwin created the theory of evolution.
