Giants.....
Fee-fi-fo-fum, i smell the blood of an Englishman......
I'm sure most of you have heard the story of Jack and the bean stock..
Today we talk about GIANTS...
--------------------------------------
From myth and folklore and even the Bible, history is full of stories and encounters with Giants.
No matter where you go in the world, you are almost guaranteed to hear about
giants in some form or another.
----Giant foot print in South Africa -
=======================
David vs Goliath and The nephilim in biblical accounts.
The jotunn (Ice Giants) of Norse's mythology and to an extent mountain trolls, though trolls even the largest are still considered a different spices then actual giant's.
-
The Titans of Greek mythology
As well as countless other fairy tails are full of giants and in more modern times there where
accounts of a deadly encounter involving the US Military and a very large red haired giant in the Kandahar region of Afghanistan a few years ago.

=====================
Various US Indian tribes have legends of cannibal giants that once roamed the country.
Similar myths can be found in every corner of the globe.
------------------------------------
During the late 1800's and early 1900's archeologists excavating old burial mounds would find very large skeletons on a somewhat regular bases, there are numerous old newspaper article regarding this subject, strangely enough every specimen discovered was almost always sent away to the Smithsonian museum, where they soon disappeared , or were stolen just before arrive, the Smithsonian admitted to destroying giant artifacts back in the early 90's..
I will be adding more post's regarding Giants, dwarf's and even a horned skull eventually.

Areas of The US that have found Giant remains and other odd skulls skeletons etc..
=================
Now on to the main subject of this entry...
Today's post is about a massive skull unearthed near Victoria Texas in 1939.
The skull was discovered during a large scale archaeological excavation at the Morhiss Mound,
near the Guadalupe River a short distance south of Victoria in Texas.
==========
The Morhiss Mound , which measured 15 feet height, 319 feet long and 168 feet wide in the middle was found seven miles southeast of Victoria on land owned at the time by Patrick Welder and Tom Joshua.
Work began on the Morhiss excavation in June of 1932 and lasted for most of that summer with at least 10 separate burial findings within the mound, and 36 perfects artifact specimens being collected.
The most sensational find of the entire expedition in the area was discovered when an undergraduate student unearthed the complete skeleton of a man that could be all accounts be called a giant, Though no specific size was given on the actual length of the skeleton, photos of the head show it to be almost twice the size of a normal human skull. 
The following is the full article from the photograph above..
-------------
the article from 1940:
That Texas "had a giant in the beach" in the long ago appears probable from the large skull recently unearthed on a mound in Victoria County, believed to be the largest human skull ever found in the United Estates and probably in the world.
Twice the size of the skull of a normal man, the fragments were dug up by W. Duffen, archeologist who is excavating the mound
in Victoria County under a WPA project sponsored by the University of Texas.
In the same mound and at the same level, a normal sized skull was found. The pieces taken from the mound were reconstructed in the WPA laboratory under the supervision of physical anthropologist.
A study is being made to determine whether the huge skull was that of a man belonging to a tribe of extraordinary large men, or whether the skull was that of an abnormal member of a tribe, a case of gigantism.
Several large human bones have been unearthed at the site.
Marcus B. Goldstein, physical anthropologist, employed on the WPA project, formerly was an aide of Alen Horliken, curator of the National Museum of Physical Anthropology.
Finds made through excavations in Texas are beginning to give weight to the theory that man lived in Texas 40,000 years ago.
-==================
..............
The site was first excavated by archaeologists from the University of Texas during a preliminary dig in 1932 fallowed by larger scale excavation
in 1938-1940.
The archaeologist William A. Duffen lead the excavation
.
He had a large team of 30-40 WPA-paid workers with him, he and his team finished the initial fieldwork, just before the start of World War II, and the site has never been fully analyzed and properly reported to this day.
There were several burial mounds excavated at the the turn of the last century, each yielding bones and sometimes large skeletons and even mummified remains of giants, 8 - 12+ feet in height. No doubt there are any number of them still reaming in mounds across the country's ,though it is now illegal to dig on any of them as they are classified as Indian Burial sits, though I've yet to hear of a tribe full of 8 foot tall inhabitants.
Long story short the government dose not want anything dug up that can not be explained under the version of history we currently go by, and proof of things thought to be little more them myth would at the very least make people question what else is out there waiting
to be discovered and at the worst force a full rewriting of history..
More post on this subject and other strange skulls / skeletons to come....
Thanks for stopping bye :)
