40:36 Share

In 1886, mining engineer John T. Reid was told the Paiute legend

of a giant people defeated by the natives near Lovelock, Nevada. The last of the giants met their fiery end deep within the bowels of a cave.

Reid’s belief in this legend stirred great interest in the secrets held within Lovelock Cave.

Official excavations were undertaken in both 1912 and 1924 by the University of California, with reports telling of thousands of artifacts being recovered. Of these artifacts, the most puzzling were human remains. Well, they were almost human.

Skeletons measuring between eight and ten feet tall were said to be found during the dig. Skeletons belonging to who are now known as “The Lovelock Giants.”

Legends of people of enormous size are told across a myriad of cultures, And despite what we’ve been told by mainstream science, there is evidence to suggest they really existed. The remains of giants have been found all over the United States; and all over the world.

So why aren’t these amazing finds on display in any museum? Or taught in any classes? Or mentioned in any history books?

Because the existence of giants, for some reason, has been covered up.
