Giants, the Little People & Human Occupancy Reflections

Nice article Jimbo. There is a lot that people don’t know yet and that is true all over the world. Take for instance how long it has been said that the America’s have been inhabited. Most people think that it has only been since 12,000 years ago. That isn’t even true. In Pennsylvania state (USA), there is a site called the MeadowCroft Rockshelter Site. There is evidence of human habitation/ occupancy at that site going back 15,000-16,000 years ago. So obviously there were people living there and in other places thousands of years before they could have crossed over the glacial ice sheets 12,000 years ago. Based on that and other evidence I would say that the America’s have been inhabited for at least 30,000-50,000 years, and maybe even longer than that. Since “time immemorial.” It is a sad thing to see that people’s perception of history could be so elementary and backwards. This is also true for people’s perceptions of human origins/evolution, and therefore the perception of themselves (unfortunately at a low level- but what can ya do).
As far as giants goes. That is an interesting article. I would recommend the book “Red Earth, White Lies” by Vine Deloria Jr. He gets a lot into the mega-flora and especially of interest, the mega-fauna of the ancient past. For instance, giant beavers of North America. Some of which lived up until surprisingly recent times (last 1,000 years or so.) Also, some of what we consider to be “dinosaurs” could just be mega-fauna. Giant turtles, birds, reptiles, etc. Actually, even into colonial times in the west, there are accounts and incidents of giant snakes that tribes on the plains could not penetrate it’s scales with an arrow. The same arrow points that could kill a huge bison/buffalo in one swift blow couldn’t even puncture the scales of these snakes/reptiles with multiple blows. Actually, here is a lecture by Vine Deloria Jr., “The World We Used To Live In” (titled after another of his books.) - https://youtu.be/QOL0Gm22Jy0 - what he refers to as “plestocene- like animals.” He starts talking about it around 22 mins. in. I have seen things with my own eyes- like the features of crocodiles carved out of boulders, but in the backwoods of Massachusetts. According to academia such animals haven’t existed in that region for at least hundreds of thousands of years. Unless we are talking about an reptile that was kept like a pet by somebody thousands of years ago that was acquired through a trade network, that wouldn’t surprise me either.
As far as human giants. Us modern people don’t get to judge so critically, or poo-poo such things so easily imo. Differences of the oxygen levels and air molecules in the atmosphere in ancient times was different, more primordial. This explains the mega-flora and mega-fauna, and it may even explain that some of our ancestors were giants. I see these giants, if it is true, as our ancestors. Perhaps we were cut down to size like everything else was. Fern plants used to grow 30 ft. high, now they grow up to my knees! Maybe even up to the earliest of colonial times, this gene wasn’t too uncommon to see a 6’7" Native warrior or even a 7’0" ancestor. This gene still obviously exists, but is probably a recessive gene, much more rare these days, such as someone the size of Shaquille O’Neil, today one in a million. These days, 6’5" is really tall, even I am taller than most at 6’3".
I suppose I have something else to add. There is a strong tradition of Little People too. Again, all over the world, remains have been found in Indonesia. In the New England area, these people were referred to as Makiawisug in Algonquian dialect. here is an article about them- http://www.native-languages.org/makiawisug.htm . Their leader at one time was a benevolent spirit, Granny Squannit- http://www.native-languages.org/squannit.htm I will let you in on a very big truth. It is true that they once existed, I have physical proof of it. And, I suspect that they still do exist but do not make themselves known so easily. I have a stone club of one of the Little People. It is the same stone club a human our size would have had, which I have seen examples of, except this stone club was smaller, fit for the size of a GI Joe doll or some such. I really do believe it is a relic of the Little People. It was an interesting-looking stone I picked up on the side of a trail. Of course, if you ever come across something like that, make sure you always offer something up in exchange! (a copper penny, tobacco, sage, a nail, whatever along those lines you have on hand.) That is all I will say about the Little People, I have probably said too much already.
