I have to put on the tin hat I use when I listen to Ron Paul talk foreign policy for this one.
Looks like the kind of cranial deformity created by different “primitive” (politically incorrect) cultures the world over from the Huns to Meso-Americans.
Who says they are fiction?
I didn’t.
They are real. Primitive people tie boards to the soft skulls of infants to deliberately deform them.
Some nutcase named von Deniken maintains they are from Outer Space.
Forbidden archaeology.

Klinton has a “thing” for Peruvian mummies. I wonder how hot he thinks this one is?
The article upholds Scriptural truth.
It doesn’t deny that giants were real.
Birth defect?
12 foot tall skeletons and spears discovered in Utah cave in 1938; archaeologist led there by Indians who said the Spanish also saw them in the cave. Skeletons taken by truck to Berkeley, CA, now hidden from view for 70 years in the basement of the Univ. of California Berkeley Anthopology Building.
cf Oakland Trib article 1980`s.
He has a thing for anything with an aperature in it.
20 inches tall? Almost 2 years old?
A quick browse of the internet shows that the typical 2 year old is over 30 inches long.
Why is a 20 inch almost 2 year old a big deal?
"And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failng them for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. They see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (St. Luke 21: 25-27)
I’m skeptical of 12 foot humans, simply because we know humans that reach 8 foot have tremendous problems with their backs.
I’m just not sure that the way we’re designed (especially our spines) could support another 4 feet in length), given that we can barely support 8 feet in length.
Not that I would know anything about large craniums...
I think they were talking about the head alone, however it is measured, perhaps from the chin to the top of the head...
But the strangest feature is that the skull is 20 inches long, which is larger than normal adult skulls.
Some genetics went wrong. It happens.
Not uncommon for some groups to deform skulls by the application of boards or wraps. As far as what they're calling a fontanelle, it could also be evidence of trepanning, which was practiced with some regularity by the Incas. This is just more typical BS from creationists posing as scientists...
I read this Trib article myself in 1980`s and went to the UC Berkeley Anthroplogy Bldg. basement to which everyone is barred and confirmed with Assoc. Prof. that indeed there are 12 ft skeletons there.
Other ref`s to this are in anthroplogy journals of that time..
