And rebury the remains quietly so news would'nt get out.

It might otherwise contradict church teachings about origins.

There are Evangelicals who place a lot of feverish belief in a mistranslation from Genesis that reads: "There were giants in the Earth in those days."

The mistranslation changes the meaning of the phrase "There were important people in the Earth in those days." That translation is supported by the fact that it precedes a long list of the Genesis patriarchs.

Every once in a while, a hoax photograph will surface online purporting to show the skeletons of Biblical era giants. And the evilgelicals point to that and crow about how they're right to believe a literal interpretation of the Bible. Even a mistranslated one, evidently.

With the Nephilim who were the progeny of the “Sons of God” who mated with human women. They were purported to be large in stature.

It’s interesting because there was a flood when, presumably, all were killed except for Noah’s family. Later, when Joshua fought multiple wars for Moses, he met the Nephilim.

Numbers 13:33 “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” Anak was considered to be descended from the Nephilim.

If Noah and his family were the only survivors of the flood and the Nephilim were later encountered, that seems to mean that either Noah was Nephilim or the “Sons of God” came down again after the flood and mated with human women. I emailed Focus on the Family and asked them that, if that was true, were the “Sons of God” still coming down and mating with our women? They blocked me. 😀

watched a few documentaries on it. Apparently the giants were cannibals and preyed on the natives there.

Si-Te-Cah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to reports of Northern Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah, Saiduka or Sai'i[1] (sometimes erroneously referred to as Say-do-carah or Saiekare[2] after a term said to be used by the Si-Te-Cah to refer to another group) were a legendary tribe who the Northern Paiutes fought a war with and eventually wiped out or drove away from the area, with the final battle having taken place at what is now known as Lovelock Cave near Lovelock, Nevada, United States. They had red hair, and are often (though not always) described as having been cannibals. In some versions of the legend they were giants. In 1911, a large amount of artifacts and mummified human remains were discovered under three to six feet of guano by guano miners in Lovelock Cave.[3]

Although the cave had been mined since 1911, miners did not notify authorities until 1912. The miners destroyed many of the artifacts, but archaeologists were still able to retrieve 10,000 Northern Paiute artifacts from the cave. Items included tule duck decoys, nets, a pair of sandals, and baskets, several dating back over 2,000 years.[4]

similar, no?

Who were these people? Homo sapiens, Neanderthal, Denisovans, Scotch Irish,
Bigfoots, West Virginians, or Republicans.

My mom’s family are Scotch Irish FROM West Virginia.

Your post reminded me of Hedley Lamar’s list of scoundrels in Blazing Saddles



That’s HEDLEY!

saw the civil war coming and decided that corn farming and making bricks and field tiles
in Indiana was the way to go.

Just saying. I bet his feet were big.

...bringing Bigfoot into the discussion. Pretty much meant facetiously, anyway. Sorry if anyone was offended.

With all our interest in the bizarre, with all our Yeti/Bigfoot Loch Ness UFO Ripley's Believe it or Not mania, how has this not been more widely known & exploited?
Something fishy here.

And they were found in Nevada? Sounds like complete conjecture, based on absolutely nothing. There were tall people in Nevada 3000 years ago. That's literally all we know. And as others have asked - why has no one done a DNA analysis of this "giant"? The skeleton could be 100% Paiute, but with a genetic anomaly towards giantism.

A bit too far north, but you know, when your stride is 12 feet it really cuts down on transit time.

Just like everybody else!

...and the Middle East. No soup for you! These giants were from Nevada.

I don't see a Snopes article after all. There is this: https://www.historyen.com/lovelock-cave-a-tale-of-giants-or-a-giant-tale-of-fiction/

And this...

"Colorful tales of the American West don’t fade away easily, even when they seem to have been discounted. Take, for example, the story of legendary red-haired cannibal giants whose alleged existence in the Lovelock area centuries ago has been debated for more than 100 years.....

"Adrienne Mayor wrote about the Si-Te-Cah in her book, “Legends of the First Americans.” She suggested that the ‘giant’ interpretation of the skeletons from Lovelock Cave and other caves in Nevada was started by entrepreneurs setting up tourist displays. She also noted that hair pigment is not stable after death and that various factors such as temperature and soil conditions can turn very dark hair rusty red or orange.".

I figured it was a hoax. This one is decades old.

But the debate goes on.

been on snopes for years and hadnt seen any ads there . been happening in the last few months since muskox starting charging to join x.

The people did exist, and were found in the cave, but they were not giants.

Here is a link to the true story. This is just one of many sources.
