5 Mysterious Clues That May Prove Giants Did Exist

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