to the size of their body, like most mammals, it could indicate they had a very high level of intelligence. Elephants are the largest known land mammals and also have a high degree of intelligence. Could it also be that megalithic monuments such as those in England (Stonehenge), France, Egypt, Easter Island, the Orkney Islands (see fig. 4) and elsewhere were constructed by an ancient race of giants? To our race as human beings, these stones appear incredibly massive—and they are. It is universally accepted that these massive stones and blocks require some type of mechanical advantage to handle and erect them. As large as these stones are, most seem to average about the same height everywhere they are found on Earth. These stones may not have been any taller A . than the giants who mined, handled and t Orme Copper Mine’ erected them. All things are relative, whether it is the ossessed six fingers on each hand (fig. 4). year 2008 or the year 5000 BC. Some If the brain of these giants is in proportion precepts are universal in nature. If you in Genesis as giants, who lived in/on the Earth in those days. What the Bible doesn't tell us in any great detail is precisely where those giants came from. Could it be that the race of giants came from the stars or perhaps from another planet in our solar system? There is some biblical evidence that they are the "fallen ones", known as the Nephilim. In Sumerian text and images we see evidence of a giant race, such as epicted in the tablet in fig. 3. A large portion of the brain is dedicated to controlling the hand. If another finger on each hand were present in a human, this would require a larger brain area to control the additional two fingers. There are numerous accounts that the giants Fig. 1. Modern 20-pound sledge- hammer. The head is about the size of a standard house brick. Standing up, the handle is about 3 feet [0.9 m] long.” Fig. 2. This is a the same 20-pound sledgehammer as in fig. 1, scaled up by 300 per cent to the size of a 60-pound sledgehammer (currently not manufactured). The handle would be nine feet [2.74 metres] long, with the metal head about the size of a cement block. An even bigger, 64-pound sledgehammer was found at the Great Orme copper mine by archaeologists. To lift this 60-pound hammer using only the far end of a nine-foot-long handle would be beyond the strength of any modern-day human. To swing it with force would be virtually impossible. 64 = NEXUS APRIL — MAY 2008 www.nexusmagazi ne.com
