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.

Thank you. I though it was a little wordy, myself.

"If an ice age land bridge enabled men to cross from Siberia to Alaska, then could the same thing have happened between Scandinavia and Labrador? This raises the possibility of a large people group entering North America from the west clashing with a smaller people group entering from the east."

This scientist agrees:

The first thing I did after reading the article was to look for your name and if the article was dated from 5-10 years ago.

“If this was true it would have made archaeological headlines around the world.”

Are you certain about that? Just think of all the grants and funding that would be endangered if it’s revealed that WASPS where here first.

LOL. Yes, I'm sure it's all a gigantic secret anti-WASP plot cooked up in some secret Indian think tank near Reno. But who claimed the "giants" were Protestants, much less Anglo-Saxon?

A true red head has to have freckles, a spot head so to speak. Normal people have red hair and freckle's, Slavs and many of those of Slavic decent have no freckle's and are therefore Red and suspected of imitating normal Red Heads.

I can guarantee you that the Spirit Cave Man is in a museum hidden away. My husband worked there when he came in.

Thanks Fractal Trader, GeronL, wildbill, and Rebelbase! The red hair was not just on the top of the head -- their entire bodies were covered with reddish hair, iow, it's a description of Bigfoot. And it's not the only one from tribal lore of a number of tribes.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
