5 Mysterious Clues That May Prove Giants Did Exist
-
0:00 - 0:01Hey guys, it's Mikey Chen.
-
0:01 - 0:05When we think of giants,
most people probably think of Goliath, -
0:05 - 0:11Jack and the Beanstalk or Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
who is both terrifying and delicious. -
0:11 - 0:15But there are many speculations
about a race of giant humans -
0:15 - 0:19who lived before and alongside of modern man.
-
0:19 - 0:24Mentions of giants can be found in historical
texts like the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls. -
0:24 - 0:28They were talked about by
historians such has Pliny and Josephus. -
0:28 - 0:32Their images could be found
painted inside caves and tombs. -
0:32 - 0:37So if these giants did in fact exist,
it is unclear what eventually happened to them. -
0:37 - 0:43Did they all disappear or perhaps there're still living
somewhere in some unexplored part of the planet. -
0:43 - 0:46Now there were a lot of requests for this video
-
0:46 - 0:49and this topic is something that
is super interesting to me, -
0:49 - 0:56so let's keep an open mind and take a look at
some clues that may suggest giants were in fact real. -
0:59 - 1:02Number 1: the giants footprints of South Africa
-
1:02 - 1:09This amazing footprint in granite was first discover in 1912
near the South African town of Mpaluzi, -
1:09 - 1:13close to the border with Swaziland
by a hunter named Stoffel Coetzee. -
1:13 - 1:18You can actually see a pretty good video of
this footprint on Explorer Michael Tellinger's channel, -
1:18 - 1:20I have that for you in the Description Box.
-
1:20 - 1:24The footprint known to locals
as 'the footprint of God' -
1:24 - 1:29or 'Goliath's footprint' is about
4 feet or 1.2 meters in length, -
1:29 - 1:31and based on that, the hypothetical
-
1:31 - 1:38owner of this footprints would have been
24 to 27 feet or 7.5 to 8 meters in height. -
1:38 - 1:43According to our current understanding
of the formation of granite in Earth's history, -
1:43 - 1:49this footprint is estimated to be between
200 million and 3 billion years old. -
1:49 - 1:54It has proved to be a brain teaser for
geologists who have trouble explaining it -
1:54 - 1:56but for locals, the explanation is pretty simple.
-
1:56 - 2:02It is the footprint left behind by a
ginormous being in the distant mythical past. -
2:02 - 2:05But skeptics reject the 'Giant footprint' theory.
-
2:05 - 2:09Some say the footprint could
have been formed by naturally erosion -
2:09 - 2:11or carved by regular sized humans.
-
2:11 - 2:17For example, doctor Jay Wile, a nuclear chemist,
pointed out that the rock is intrusive granite. -
2:17 - 2:19This means that it was formed underground.
-
2:19 - 2:22Thus, the only time a foot could have sunk into it
-
2:22 - 2:29and left behind a print was when it was several
hundred degrees hot deep below the Earth's surface. -
2:29 - 2:32However supporters of the
'Giant footprint' theory say that -
2:32 - 2:38skeptics take the current scientific consensus
about how granite rocks were formed for granted, -
2:38 - 2:42and they argue that developments in
understanding of the geological process that -
2:42 - 2:48led to the formation of the outcrop could show that
warm molten magma was exposed on the Earth's surface, -
2:48 - 2:54thus allowing a potential 27-foot giant
weighing several tons to sink his foot into it -
2:54 - 2:59And in regards to the theory that
the footprint could be formed by natural erosion, -
2:59 - 3:04professor Pieter Wagener from the University
of Port Elizabetht, South Africa suggests that -
3:04 - 3:08"there is a higher probability of little
green men arriving from space -
3:08 - 3:13and licking it out with their tongues
than being created by natural erosion.” -
3:13 - 3:15Number 2: the mummified finger
-
3:15 - 3:21Gregory Spoerri, a well known entrepreneur from
Switzerland, used to work as a private investigator. -
3:21 - 3:24In 1988, he contacted and met with an old man
-
3:24 - 3:29from a grave robber dynasty in a farmhouse
about a 100 kilometers northeast of Cairo -
3:29 - 3:33to take a look at the family treasure which
was wrapped in old rags. -
3:33 - 3:37It's was a giant finger and it appeared rather grotesque,
-
3:37 - 3:40chalked ....the bone with a fingernail still attached to it.
-
3:40 - 3:43It was also accompanied by a X. ray photo.
-
3:43 - 3:47Spoerri said "I was totally flabbergasted
when I saw the dark brown giant finger. -
3:47 - 3:50I was allowed to take it in hand and also to take pictures."
-
3:50 - 3:53"A bill was put next to it's to get a size comparison.
-
3:53 - 3:57The bent finger was split open
and covered with fried mold." -
3:57 - 4:03The old man said the finger was found in
the grave of a giants mummy somewhere near the Giza Pyramids. -
4:03 - 4:09With a finger to belong to a human being,
that human would be some 16 feet or nearly 5 meters tall. -
4:09 - 4:12Spoerri tried to compel the old man to sell the finger
-
4:12 - 4:16but the old man would not, saying it was too
important to his family. -
4:16 - 4:18Number 3: historical mentions
-
4:18 - 4:23Throughout history there were many records
that seem to indicate the presence of giant humanoids. -
4:23 - 4:30For example explorer John Smith wrote in 1608
"The Sasquesahanougs are a Gyant-like people. -
4:30 - 4:36They measured the calf of the largest man’s leg,
and found it 3 quarters of a yard about, -
4:36 - 4:38and all the rest of his limbs were in proportion;"
-
4:38 - 4:45Flavius Josephus, a first centuary Jewish scholar
and historian wrote in his antiquities of the Jews -
4:45 - 4:48"for which reason they removed their camp to Herron;
-
4:48 - 4:51and when they had taken it,
they slew all the inhabitants." -
4:51 - 4:55"There were till then left the race of giants,
who had body so large, -
4:55 - 4:59and countenances so entirely different from other men,
-
4:59 - 5:03that they were surprising to the sight,
and terrible to the hearing." -
5:03 - 5:09"The bones of these men are still shown to this very day,
unlike to incredible relations of other men." -
5:09 - 5:16And finally Roman historian Pliny also mentions
that in the reign of Claudius from 41 to 54 A.D, -
5:16 - 5:22a nine-foot-nine-inch giant named Gabbaras
was brought to Rome from Arabia. -
5:22 - 5:25Claudius placed him at the head
of the famed Adiutrix legions. -
5:25 - 5:30The giant so awed his troops that
some worshipped him as a god. -
5:30 - 5:32Number 4: the mystery of Lovelock cave.
-
5:33 - 5:38Many native American tribes tell stories
about the long forgotten existence of a race of humans -
5:38 - 5:41I were much taller and stronger than ordinary men.
-
5:41 - 5:45The Paiute, a tribe that settled in the
Nevada region thousands of years ago, -
5:45 - 5:51have a legend about a race of red-haired
giants which were described as savages and cannibals. -
5:51 - 5:56Legend tells that the giants waged war
on the Paiute and all neighboring tribes. -
5:56 - 5:59Finally, the tribes united against them
-
5:59 - 6:03and the last remaining red-haired giants
were chased off and hid in a cave. -
6:03 - 6:08The tribes then started a fire at the cave,
suffocating and burning them alive. -
6:08 - 6:13The entrance of the cave was sealed
but after the cave was discovered again in 1886 -
6:13 - 6:15by a mining engineer named John T. Reid,
-
6:15 - 6:18the large amounts of guano deposit inside the cave
-
6:18 - 6:24attracting attention of a mining company
that began excavating the precious resource in 1911. -
6:24 - 6:26After the surface layer of the guano had been minded,
-
6:26 - 6:32strange objects started to surface which led to
an official excavation performed in 1912 -
6:32 - 6:35and again in 1924 by the university of California.
-
6:35 - 6:40In an intriguing find was a pair of 15 inch-long
sandals that showed signs of having been worn. -
6:40 - 6:43Allegedly, other unusually large items were recovered
-
6:43 - 6:49but have since been locked away in museum
warehouses..... and private collection. -
6:49 - 6:54A piece of evidence that remains on-site
until this day is a giant hand print, -
6:54 - 6:58double the size of a normal man's hand
imprinted on the boulder inside the cave. -
6:58 - 7:03Also according to a 1931 article
published in the Nevada Review-Miner, -
7:03 - 7:09two giant skeletons had been found buried
in a dry lake bed close to Lovelock, Nevada. -
7:09 - 7:13The over-sized remains measured 8.5
and 10 feet in height -
7:13 - 7:18and were mummified in a manner similar
to the one employed by ancient Egyptians. -
7:18 - 7:22What's interesting is that these mummified
giants remains had red hair. -
7:22 - 7:24While some scientists believe the reddish color
-
7:24 - 7:28is a result of the interaction with
the environment in which they were buried, -
7:28 - 7:32the mummies sort of verified the legends
which spoke of red-haired giants. -
7:32 - 7:36And finally number 5: giants bones
discovered around the world. -
7:36 - 7:40One of the biggest arguments against
the existence of giants is that, -
7:40 - 7:43well, if they did exist where their bones at?
-
7:43 - 7:47According to reports from around the world,
many of these bones were actually found. -
7:47 - 7:51For example, the New York Times
reported on December 20th, 1897 -
7:51 - 7:57that the skeleton of a man of gigantic
size with a skull as large as half a bushel -
7:57 - 8:00was found buried in a mount in Wisconsin.
-
8:00 - 8:04Another story from the London Globe
talked about the discovery of human bones that -
8:04 - 8:11are twice the size of that of regular people in the Bronze
Age cemetery of Castelnau-le-Lez, France in the winter of 1890. -
8:11 - 8:13Here's a look of three bone fragments found.
-
8:13 - 8:19The humorus, tibia and phemeral mid
shaft compared to a normal size humorus. -
8:19 - 8:22The bones were discovered by
anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge -
8:22 - 8:24and were dated to the Neolithic period.
-
8:24 - 8:26Lapouge estimated from the bones found that
-
8:26 - 8:31these humans may have been about
3.5 meters or 11 feet 6 inches tall. -
8:31 - 8:36Then there is the rarely seen part of
the upper leg bone with hip joint of a giant -
8:36 - 8:40that would have stood about 12 feet or 3.6 meters tall.
-
8:40 - 8:42This bone has been in the vaults of the medical school
-
8:42 - 8:47at the university of Witwatersrand
in Johannesburg since the early 1960s -
8:47 - 8:50when it was found by miners
in a mine in northern Namibia. -
8:50 - 8:54You know I have been wanted to make this video
for a long time and when I sat down to make it, -
8:54 - 8:59I found so much really interesting information
about the possible existence of giants, -
8:59 - 9:02and that there was no way I could put all
that information into one video -
9:02 - 9:07so I encourage all of you who are interested
in this topic to go and explore for yourself. -
9:07 - 9:09If you think about it, if this was all true
-
9:09 - 9:14and giants who were 12 feet or 25 feet
or maybe even bigger did exist, -
9:14 - 9:16this will actually solve a lot of questions
-
9:16 - 9:21about how many of the world's ancient megalithic
structures like the pyramids were created. -
9:21 - 9:24And speaking of the pyramids,
I know every year there's a new report of someone -
9:24 - 9:27who figured out how the pyramids
were built but let's be honest, -
9:27 - 9:30there's still a lot of unanswered
questions in any of these theories. -
9:30 - 9:33I'm gonna make a video
about the creation of the pyramids later. -
9:33 - 9:36All I'm saying is that there's still
so much we don't know -
9:36 - 9:39so it's good to keep an open mind
about all the possibilities. -
9:39 - 9:43And I really like this saying from
a geologist named Nitish Priyadarshi who said -
9:43 - 9:46"we live in a highly advanced, technical world,
-
9:46 - 9:50but there are nevertheless a
great many mysteries all around us." -
9:50 - 9:54Ancient places and the mysterious beings,
sunken worlds and cultures, -
9:54 - 9:58landscapes imbued with symbolism,
unexplained apparitions -
9:58 - 10:01and unbelievable finds from ancient times."
-
10:01 - 10:05All of these remain mysteries for humankind,
despite intense investigations." -
10:05 - 10:07But guys love to hear your thoughts.
-
10:07 - 10:09Do you believe that giants once existed?
-
10:09 - 10:13And do you believe that giants are still out there
somewhere today and I'm not talking about Shark. -
10:13 - 10:15Alright guys thank you so much for watching.
