Man-Eating Giants Discovered in Nevada Cave [8 feet tall!]
Salem News ^ | 20 December 2010 | Terrence Aym

(CHICAGO ) - The Paiutes, a Native-American tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, told early white settlers about their ancestors' battles with a ferocious race of white, red-haired giants. According to the Paiutes, the giants were already living in the area.

Roaming, man-eating giants

The Paiutes named the giants Si-Te-Cah that literally means “tule-eaters.” The tule is a fibrous water plant the giants wove into rafts to escape the Paiutes continuous attacks.

They used the rafts to navigate across what remained of Lake Lahontan.

Giants roamed the Earth

According to the Paiutes, the red-haired giants stood as tall as 12-feet and were a vicious, unapproachable people that killed and ate captured Paiutes as food.

The legend

The Paiutes told the early settlers that after many years of warfare, all the tribes in the area finally joined together to rid themselves of the giants.

One day as they chased down the few remaining red-haired enemy, the fleeing giants took refuge in a cave. The tribal warriors demanded their enemy come out and fight, but the giants steadfastly refused to leave their sanctuary.

Frustrated at not defeating their enemy with honor, the tribal chiefs had warriors fill the entrance to the cavern with brush and then set it on fire in a bid to force the giants out of the cave.

The few that did emerge were instantly slain with volleys of arrows. The giants that remained inside the cavern were asphyxiated.

Hundreds of years later archaeologists explored the cavern near Lovelock, Nevada--the cave the Indians had described.

What the scientific researchers found was staggering: over 10,000 artifacts were unearthed including the mummified remains of two red-haired giants—one, a female 6.5-feet tall, the other male, over 8-feet tall.

Well, now that DADT has been lifted, there will be a lot more stories along this line.

Since I don't watch b.ball, 6ft 4 my brother,,,,6foot 6 one cousin.....Is the tallest I've seen, but my grandsons are on the tall side....several over 6'2 in their teens. One heading to 6'6 at 17....taller than any of my 4 son's...OOPs one son is 6'3. I think 6'11 would be way above average and would bend down a bit to get in the average door. 8 foot would touch the ceiling of the average home with his head.....

8’ not impressive? Have you ever been in the presence of a person over 7’ tall? Do you know how many of the 6 billion earthlings are 8’ tall?

6’11” is considered perfectly normal today

Outside of basketball locker rooms, where? I'm only 6-1 and either look over the average room of people, or am a little taller than most.

Interesting, though, that there are references to Giants in the Bible, too.

“Have you ever been in the presence of a person over 7’ tall?”

I met an inbred mountain man hillbilly once way back up in the hills who was 7’ tall. His hands were as big as a catcher’s mitt. It’s not something you easily forget and with his inbred facial features i’ve tried very hard.

Maybe I’m not fully awake yet, but I’m not getting your connection between the two.

“Have you ever been in the presence of a person over 7’ tall?”

Like I say, it’s impressive in a personal, kind of intimidatory way, but scientifically, looking at the raw numbers, it’s not very different to some perfectly normal heights we see today.

400 years ago it would have been a different story.

I wonder if they had a goose that laid golden eggs.

Blam, didn't the Jomon have dark hair? So, if these people had red hair, isn't European origin the likeliest?

"Blam, didn't the Jomon have dark hair? So, if these people had red hair, isn't European origin the likeliest?

No one knows what color was the hair of the Jomon. The Jomon may have split off a branch that produced them and the Europeans. I don't know

This (see link below)is the oldest human hair I know about. It's probably Ainu like Kennewick Man.

Early (Ancient) Hair Sample Raises Questions

"We came out with a dirt clod and inside the dirt clod was a human hair 14 inches long," she said. "It was so old there was no pigment."

"While scientists have yet to determine its age, the layer of soil it was in dates back 11,000 to 12,000 years."
