Reviews The Ancient Giants who Ruled America is a treasure trove for alternative history and archaeology buffs...This book was an eye-opener, both in its subject matter and also the amount of reporting that Mr. Dewhurst was able to hunt down, covering nearly 400 years., Giants in ancient America? You bet! It's all here in Richard Dewhurst's fabulous book. Extensively illustrated and chronicled with firsthand accounts from early 19th- and 20th-century news clippings, this book will shatter the mainstream academic teachings that continue to ignore and cover up the role giants played in early American history., At last, a comprehensive sourcebook that demystifies the giants of ancient America. Lavishly illustrated, this goliath and gutsy book delivers an unprecedented wealth of information on the great mound builders. Dewhurst digs deeper than the rest. Don't miss it., This is the most comprehensive and level approach to the subject of giant humanoids in Earth's past to have ever been published. The most appealing aspect is that Dewhurst has collected a vast array of primary sources and presents them here. Reading one newspaper discovery after another of giant skeletons and artifacts is perhaps the most compelling reason to question the standard lines we are given about humanity's origins. When coupled with his persuasive theories explaining why the Smithsonian would actively cover up such discoveries, you have one valuable and entertaining read! Highly recommended., I don't say this lightly, but of all the nonfiction books I have on my precious shelf space, this book actually has its own little stand so I can gaze at it. I've highlighted nearly every page and dog-earred many and hope to use these references in future hypotheses I will present about this amazing and unexplainable race of giants. Thank you, Dewhurst, for such an amazing and laboriously loving research into what I consider one of the single most important anthropological puzzles man has ever tackled.

SynopsisA study of the substantial evidence for a former race of giants in North America and its 150-year suppression by the Smithsonian Institution - Shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been found, particularly in the Mississippi Valley, as well as the ruins of the giants' cities - Explores 400 years of giant finds, including newspaper articles, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports - Reveals the Stonehenge-era megalithic burial complex on Catalina Island with over 4,000 giant skeletons, including kings more than 9 feet tall - Includes more than 100 rare photographs and illustrations of the lost evidence Drawing on 400 years of newspaper articles and photos, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports, Richard J. Dewhurst reveals not only that North America was once ruled by an advanced race of giants but also that the Smithsonian has been actively suppressing the physical evidence for nearly 150 years. He shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been unearthed at Mound Builder sites across the continent, only to disappear from the historical record. He examines other concealed giant discoveries, such as the giant mummies found in Spirit Cave, Nevada, wrapped in fine textiles and dating to 8000 BCE; the hundreds of red-haired bog mummies found at sinkhole "cenotes" on the west coast of Florida and dating to 7500 BCE; and the ruins of the giants' cities with populations in excess of 100,000 in Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Louisiana. Dewhurst shows how this suppression began shortly after the Civil War and transformed into an outright cover-up in 1879 when Major John Wesley Powell was appointed Smithsonian director, launching a strict pro-evolution, pro-Manifest Destiny agenda. He also reveals the 1920s' discovery on Catalina Island of a megalithic burial complex with 6,000 years of continuous burials and over 4,000 skeletons, including a succession of kings and queens, some more than 9 feet tall--the evidence for which is hidden in the restricted-access evidence rooms at the Smithsonian., A study of the substantial evidence for a former race of giants in North America and its 150-year suppression by the Smithsonian Institution., A study of the substantial evidence for a former race of giants in North America and its 150-year suppression by the Smithsonian Institution * Shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been found, particularly in the Mississippi Valley, as well as the ruins of the giants' cities * Explores 400 years of giant finds, including newspaper articles, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports * Reveals the Stonehenge-era megalithic burial complex on Catalina Island with over 4,000 giant skeletons, including kings more than 9 feet tall * Includes more than 100 rare photographs and illustrations of the lost evidence Drawing on 400 years of newspaper articles and photos, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports, Richard J.

They Might Be Giants.
If you want to read a capsule history of prehistoric Indians in North America, this is a decent book, with information on the Mound Builders, the Copper Culture & more. I’m less impressed with the argument for a race of giants. Much of the data comes from 19th century newspaper accounts which I consider unreliable if not completely bogus. Having said that, the chapter on the giants found during the excavations on Catalina Island during the early 20th century are compelling & worth the price of the book. I tend to agree with the author who says the established scientific community does not want to include any oddball or aberrant finds or information to the history books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Truth Revealed
Now if the evidence displayed in this book is true, ( which it is), backed by articles and newspaper headlines, then doesn't that mean God is real?....Hmm! Oh oh, better question, If the sediment layers on EVERY MOUNTAIN RANGE ON THE EARTH is truly a (sediment layer), from where water has eroded a water level line into the rock, then doesn't that mean that there truly was a complete earth flooding disaster, and doesn't that mean that God is real and that the Bible isn't just some ordinary book but more so a telling of ACTUAL EVENTS, hmm! I'll let you be the judge! Choose wisely how you treat Gods people, the African Americans, for they ARE, in fact, the descendants of the ancient Hebrew Israelite's, and Gods specially chosen people, created to be set above ALL nations of the earth, as he/God has said, read Deuteronomy 27 & 28, in the King James Bible.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wow!!
All I have to say is what else do we not know about??!! This is pretty compelling evidence from news and history and should certainly be taken seriously as not to cheat ourselves of the past could provide. I must say it's written differently so may turn off some readers but otherwise an interesting read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

History of the unknown and unwanted.
An interesting compilation of newspaper and report articles. With the current laws, even if the Smithsonian had the skeletons, they would be reappropriated and buried so that science and history would continue to know nothing about them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
