HOLOCAUST OF GIANTS The Great Smithsonian Cover-up GIANTS HOLOCAUST The Great Smithsonian Cover-up Skeletal remains of giants buried in the ancient earth mounds of North America were described in 19th-century documents of the Smithsonian Institution, but the physical evidence either has perished or been hidden from public view. It's probably better that so few of the ruins and remains were tied in with the Smithsonian because they give good reason to believe the ending of the Indiana Jones movie—a great warehouse where the real secrets of earth history are buried. Vine Deloria, Jr, noted Native American author and Professor of Law Emeritus (Personal communication, May 2000) odern-day archaeology and anthropology have nearly sealed the door on our imaginations, broadly interpreting the North American past as devoid of anything unusual in the way of great cultures characterised by a people of unusual demeanour. The great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the 19th- century Smithsonian Institution, created a one-way portal through which uncounted bones have been spirited. This door and the contents of its vault are virtually sealed off to any but government officials. Among these bones may lie answers not even sought by these officials concerning the deep past. The first hint we had about the possible existence of an actual race of tall, strong and intellectually sophisticated people was in researching old township and county records. Many of these were quoting from old diaries and letters that were combined, for posterity, in the 1800s from diaries going back to the 1700s. Says Deloria on this understanding: "Some of these old county and regional history books contain real gems because the people were not subjected to a rigid indoctrination about evolution and were astonished about what they found and honestly reported it." Some time before archaeology came to subscribe the general public to its view of pre- history—generations prior to Darwin's troublesome theory—the pioneers thought that some of the earthworks were as ancient as could be concurrent with human habitation in America. Some among those early settlers exercised their pens, assured that the earth- works were not built by the direct ancestry of the native people living in the historical period but, rather, were constructed in a more remote era encompassing a different social order. They compared the "Mound Builders" with the "Indians", clearly discerning the former as belonging to an earlier time and possessing a different fate or destiny from the latter. "Evidence for the occupation of this region before the appearance of the red man and the white race is to be found in almost every part of the county, as well as through the northwest generally. In removing the gravel bluffs, which are numerous and deep, for the construction and repair of roads, and in excavating cellars, hundreds of human skeletons, some of them of giant form, have been found. A citizen of Marion County estimates that there were about as many human skeletons in the knolls of Marion County as there are white inhabitants at present!"

"Mastodonic remains are occasionally unearthed, and, from time to time, discoveries of the remains of Indian settlements are indicated by the appearance of gigantic skeletons, with the high cheek bones, powerful jaws and massive frames peculiar of the red man, who left these as the only record with which to form a clew to the history of past ages."
