[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 180724, member: 10263"] I think the problem is that you are attacking this one guy's treatment of the theory instead of what people are actually addressing. There really were quite a lot of news reports of Americans uncovering "giant" skeletons throughout the 19th century (and I think some vague reports in the 18th as well). It's related to the sasquatch issue which has a similar body of newspaper stories that will really blow your mind if you go and read them. They called them wild men or ape-men. It's the same stories you read about today, except they were only recently uncovered by archivists specifically searching through old newspapers for such stories. Where this issue gets messed up is when you confuse all the woo woo theories that people propose as facts with the actual evidence we do have. The evidence is admittedly not much, but it's kind of difficult to explain away in both cases (and I think the two could possibly be related). There very well could be a physical explanation for this. If you look at the thing historically, people have described these creatures across North America and Asia going back to the beginning of recorded history. To claim they all independently invented the same myth based on nothing in the real world does not constitute the most parsimonious explanation either. Hebrews described battling Nephilim. Sumerians described the wild men, of which one was befriended by Gilgamesh (and the Hebrews implied men like Gilgamesh were, in fact, related to them, in the references to the heroes of old being Nephilim). Natives described them as originally having the ability to use tools and so forth, just as the bronze age Near Easterners did. But they could have degenerated over time. I have thoughts about this that I would not venture as a proper theory, but I wouldn't dismiss so many newspaper reports in the 19th century like that. These stories are remarkably consistent and there wasn't much cross-pollination of memes and fringe concepts going on in those days. [/QUOTE]
