      Check out the Indian Head Profile, and Admiral Dewey's Profile, with the Old Man on the Mountain Site (fell down) in New Hampshire. There's a bunch of Faces around the Notch, lost Civilization for sure. However the biggest Gaint in the US, is in mee pants.

      I’ve seen something strange on Catalina island before. I live in Long Beach and have been there many times. I have never heard about the green door before. Put it this way I do not doubt that there is a portal there. I got a vary strange vibe and can’t explain what I saw Great video thanks

    I am Apache Indian from Pima tribe. Salt river in Arizona. My grandfather told me stories on how many tribes ban together to fight these red hair giant at luvlock they were up to 14 ft tall and great fighter they ate human flesh .

      I recall hearing a story about how the Smithsonian supposedly hired 2 guys to take boxes of bones and go dump them in the ocean. That tall tale makes no sense. If the museum wanted to get rid of bones, they could just grind them up. Why would they hire witnesses to go dump them in the ocean??

    I use to bow hunt on this island in the 1970's. Mostly on the North side of the island. There was a lot of Spanish Goats, wild boars, dove and rattle snakes. And a lot of cactus and costal cliffs. In the middle island there was buffalo brought there by a film maker in the early 1900's. And on the South Island it was more grassy with many deer. It was a good place to scuba dive too with some ship wrecks and a place called the wall. It got very hot in the summer but me and some friends always went every year for a adventure and good time. There was some guides that use to drive us around the island and we flew there by sea plane that landed in the middle inlet where the guides would pick us up and take us to some make shift tent like camps with a fire pit for cooking. I have seen some rock drawings too and old camp like sites.

      Wow. I'm sure many people would love to hear and learn more about your family's experiences in California. The Tongva-Gabrielino, Chumash, and other native people of California have so many stories and experiences that need to be shared. Everything from native legends/folklore/history to their trials and tribulations of their people after the Europeans arrived. If you wrote a book or did a video/documentary to put this history on record, I'd sure be interested!

      There has never been found any Viking sunstones, but something resembling it was found on a british warship that sunk in 1592.
      So the sunstone in the museum is not from the Viking Age.😊
      But it is mentioned in the Sagas, so I have no doubt whatsoever that it was used by the Vikings

      Historically, Darwin's theory of evolution, by natural selection does not agree that these tall blond hair, blue eyed Indians existed, through his evolution process. Darwin's theory as it is written, allows for the natural selection and disposal of such, being that it does not agree with Darwin's Theory, Therefore; Society has the right to disposal of the Blond haired Indians and allows their non-existance. In my view, Darwin's Theory is "HOG WASH", and should have never been adopted by the science community as fact. Now, as a result these Aztec/Mexican/Spanish indigenous Indians think they have the right to remove and destroy the evidence of these beautiful blond haired tall Indians, That have existed for over 30 thousand years according to carbon dating. These Beautiful Tall blond, blue eyed Indians were here on Catalina Island and the other surrounding Islands, before any other race, period. Basically, this is called discrimination in the highest degree, when one race insists the Tall blond hair, blue eyed race does not exist. Sounds like Hitler, saying that the Jews don't exist under Darwin's theory. Therefore; they can be ruled under law, to be removed forever, because they don't fit in, according to the indigenous Indian's and Darwin's theory. This is the argument! Also, Ralph Glidden was NOT recognized as an Archeologist and therefore his finding's were removed from the Smithsonian and discredited!

So things from a different dimension were interacting with women and it created this whole new species that went against God. Hence why the Noah’s ark / flooding of the earth happened.

    I am surprised people would think that giants couldn't exist. The Earth used to be much different, much more full of life, more air more CO2, more atmosphere perhaps, massive creatures we can only try to imagine, from fossils, etc.. Just makes sense to me, that where so many and so much life evolved then, "people" with our two legged form, some would have had to be large, to compete. Others small who could hide. Its' odd to me anyway, that people can not even imagine life before, with "human" appearing life forms.

      Most ancient human lore across a lot of cultures talks about giants, or some big foot type of humanoid creature and evolutionarily speaking theirs a good chance at least one would exist. Especially in resource rich places in north and south america.

      Its very similar to the stone circles found in the Golan Heights. Odd, since Old Testament texts claim that Joshua and his men drove Giants out of the Levant and there are references that indicate that some fled by sea and some fled north. Then 2000 years later you have Diodorus the Roman historian documenting encounters with Roman battalions and Giants in what is now Germany, parts of Britannia and Sardinia. Then you have Native American oral traditions and Peruvian legends that BOTH date the arrival of long necked, cone headed giants to the Americas 3,000 years ago. When you see a pattern of information like this you're looking at something that actually happened.

      Giants are real. They roamed the earth and terrorized mankind before the flood. And their DNA was passed down through Ham's wife to Canaan, and Canaan was the name given to the land of the giants in the Bible. They are among us today, their latent DNA carried by humans, while some purer breeds still stalk the remote places of the earth, making meals out of lost hikers and kidnapped children. The so-called aliens are just fallen angels appearing to each man in the form that is most acceptable to the human witness. For some, they are aliens like the greys; for others, they are ghosts of dead relatives; for others they are dog-men, sasquatch, or moth-man; for others, angels, religious images, or Mary. Ezekiel's "spacecraft" is a spiritual being, not a machine. But demons and devils will appear in a machine if that's what they think will deceive the human witness to their appearance. #blessings #trustJesus

      No, because they were all hoaxes. It helps to look at this topic within the historical lense of the time.
      The 1890s saw the start of the "bone wars" where people all across the world were rushing to see who could find the bones for the wildest creature. Some people took the path where they used fossils from a bunch of different extinct animals, mixed them all together, and came up with stories about nightmare animals.
      Other people just grab a couple large bones, snapped some photos, and said they were from giant humans.
      The bones weren't "hidden" again to cover up some big secret, they were discarded or "lost" because the person who found them knew very well that they were fake. They just wanted their fifteen minutes of fame.
      No doubt some people pushed it further and may have even convinced museums to buy these "giants bones" from them. Then, the museum "lost" them for the same reason amateur archeologists "lost" them, because it would be embarrassing if someone with knowledge about paleontology studied the bones and announced they were fake. It would hurt the reputation of the museum, just like it would ruin the credibility of the amateur digger.
      Better to be remembered as someone who "lost" the bones of giant extinct humans than it is to be known as a con artist or an idiot for buying them.

Since the Navy sanitized, San Clemente, San Nicolas, and used San Miguel, a place where Juan Cabrillo might lie buried, as practice bombing runs up in til the late 1970’s, I don’t think we will find much, unless deeply buried on any of those islands, except the ones which were privately held, (Santa Cruz, parts of Santa Rosa, Santa Catalina), except Santa Rosa, the one with the most interesting findings, which had a Nike Cold War base on the SW side of the Island.

The sewn plank canoes they utilized to go to and from the channel islands were some of the most advanced boat designs of the new world.

      Most if not all bones and artifacts that have been discovered in the United States have been stolen from the people who discovered the bones by the curators of the Smithsonian and never seen again and they deny they ever existed or that they have possession of them.
      I say "stolen" because when giant artifacts, bones, whole skeletons, etc... were discovered back in the late 1800s early 1900s and became public through newspaper stories the people who worked for the Smithsonian would arrive at these sites and the discoveries were usually made by farmers, miners, ordinary people and the Smithsonian people would tell them that they should pack them up and take them back to their facilities to do further research and that the person still owned the bones, artifacts, and could have them back after careful investigation and archiving, photos, cataloging, and they would take everything and then the founders would be waiting and wondering and then contact them and inquire about there bones and the Smithsonian would deny ever speaking to the person and they surely would never take anything and have never heard of giants bones etc... . That happened many many times. It still happens from what I've read or seen in videos.
      It's part of a world wide cover up of human history and the ancient humans and others that lived on Earth many thousands of years ago and even recently.
      Everything we've been taught in school about history of mankind is a lie and rewritten by people who don't want us knowing we had special powers and abilities that have since been shut off by the erasure of our memories. That's why we don't have any memories of ancestors beyond 10 thousand BC and the flood. But there is evidence and books and artifacts held by the Vatican and the English Monarchy, Egyptian and all middle eastern civilizations. Why do you think there has been non stop wars in that part of the world? It isn't oil they've been fighting over. We have enough oil in the states to last forever. So why are we over there? Hitler knew this also that's why he was over there and in Antarctica, and was so deep into the ancient artifacts etc...

Most likely advanced enough to travel the globe, make maps, utilize higher mathematics, with a fair understanding of agriculture and construction. Given we are fairly sure there's a earth altering event which takes place every 12000 years or so, seemingly powerful enough to change the landscape and decimate much of life. I'd bet these large folks are the survivors of such an event and before they were lost to time, they left their mark on humanity... sure would explain a lot of mysteries.

    The red hair comes from the fallen ones as written in Genesis. Who doesn't know this by now? Its a consistent story around the world and I just found out about the Australian story of the same. Green eyes and Rh- blood are the other consistent oddities.

      Nowhere in genesis does it say anything about red hair. The only red hair mentioned is Esau which to have red hair both parents have to have the gene for red hair. Other Jewish writers say David had red hair. So is he a fallen one? Lol. Ramses had red hair but he def was no giant. The only difference between rh neg and positive is a protein. If a woman who is rh negative carries a baby that is rh positive the first pregnancy is fine unless the two bloods mix during labor. It’s the second pregnancy that her body will terminate the pregnancy. Her immune system doesn’t recognize it therefore rids it. Of course they have the shot for it now which causes women to develop auto immune diseases later in life. Someone can be both rh +/- but the positive be more dominant so when tested it shows rh positive. You have to get a more in depth test to know. If rh negative is fallen angel alien whatever you call it then why is the dna human human? The elongated skulls that have been tested have human mtdna but paternal is unknown. Shouldn’t rh negative ppl be the same too? Come on now critical thinking is key. Stop getting your info from goofy posts you read. Are blonde hair and blue eyes evil too? Did you know a Viking skeleton of 9 foot tall possibly ivar the boneless was found in a grave in England? Are they evil too ? What about all the world leaders in history of all races who have slaughtered hundreds of 1000s and millions of ppl? What about the Roman’s? They were horribly brutal and perverted but no tall red heads there. They were short and Mediterranean. Genesis chapter 1 and 2 are two separate and different creations. Critical thinking

    White/Fair skin you think of European which defiantly could be the case but not necessarily. I wish we could compare skull shapes and of course DNA. So interesting.

      There is a scientist who did that. He shaped Black peoples skull to monkeys and that is where that non sense of revolutionary theory came into place due to Racial Scientific research.

    The blonde and red hair as well as the beards comes from the west direction. The Waiteha and the Ainu often have these hair colors. Ainu can grow beards.

    in argentina, besides the patagones in patagonia, there was a native culture called Comechingones, mostly in the province of Cordoba. Its said that they had beards, which was weird. Some say they were light skinned. I lived in a town there for a year, Capilla del Monte, and i met an old guy who was apparently one of the last descendents from the comechingones in the area. He was tall as fuck, light skinned and blue eyes. Theres a bunch of weird stories about them, like the little stone walls they made. Apparently they stacked small stones so perfectly that the spanish wanted them to teach them how to do it, but they wouldnt. They were massacred, and a lot of em commited suicide jumping off a cliff, some with their children, and that place is now considered a cemetery (Ongamira). Idk, just interesting at least.
