Giant Human Skeletons Found Buried in Mounds Across North America
Around the turn of the 19th century, there were hundreds of reports from reputable sources of giant skeletons unearthed from ancient burial mounds across America. Human giants are not entirely a product of legend in our history.
André the Giant is a known example of a man with superhuman proportions and strength, reaching 7 feet 4 inches tall. But André’s size was the result of gigantism and acromegaly, disorders caused by an overactive pituitary gland, which releases too much growth hormone. And with the average human height at 5 feet 6 inches for men and 5 feet 2 inches for women, it’s rare to find someone of André’s height, let alone his stature.
With the extreme rarity of gigantism, affecting roughly three in a million, it’s surprising how often giants are spoken of in the Bible and North American folklore. David and Goliath, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Paul Bunyon are familiar examples of tales involving giants. But while these are thought to be myths or legends, is there any possibility that a race of giants once existed or were there humanoid ancestors significantly larger than us?
The Mound Builders: Unusual Burial Sites
Across the United States, there are burial mounds, or at least their remnants, some as extensive in size as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Cahokia and Monk’s mounds in Illinois and Missouri are two thought to have been built before the arrival of Columbus. The Cahokia mound is 100 feet tall with a 14-acre base, almost an entire acre larger than the pyramid at Giza. Monk’s Mound is just as tall with a 1,000-foot-wide base. But what makes these and other mounds of their kind even more intriguing is what has been found buried inside of them.
Jim Vieira has made it his mission to explore the mystery behind these mounds and others where there is documentation of unearthed skeletons, often of gigantic proportions. Vieira, a stonemason by trade, found himself intrigued after finding a plethora of mysterious stone mounds throughout New England.
He found that the construction, and particularly the stonework, of these mounds, was impressive, considering the level of technology at the time. He also noticed that the orientation of the mounds was such that the entrances faced a direction that was in alignment with the sun during the Equinoxes. The mounds were built with massive stones and were present long before colonists from Europe crossed over.
Vieira uncovered old reports in New England of giant skeletons unearthed from these mounds, often with two rows of teeth and jaws that could fit over the head of a normal-sized human. The skeletons ranged in length from 7 to 10 feet tall. While this may sound ridiculous at first glance, it was not an isolated incident and is supported by reports from reputable news sources of the time.
Ancient Giants
Discoveries of the giant skeletons were found all over the Northeast, from Martha’s Vineyard and Deerfield Valley Massachusetts, to Vermont and upstate New York. Other reports of the discovery of buried giants were also found in the South, Midwest, and West coast.
In the Ohio River Valley, a report from a local paper, that was backed up by Scientific American, found bodies of several giants buried under a ten-foot-tall mound. One female skeleton was found holding a three-and-a-half-foot long child. Another of the giant skeletons was buried in a clay coffin and an engraved stone tablet was also recovered. This particular mound was 64 feet long by 35 feet wide.
The Chichasawba mound in Arkansas is another instance of the uncovering of a giant skeleton under similar circumstances. The 12-square-mile mound had its name taken from the chief of the Shawnee tribe who was essentially known to be a giant with incredible strength. Chief Chicasawba lived in that area of Arkansas and when the mound was uncovered, the skeleton of a massive human being was found. Subsequently, other skeletons up to ten feet tall were unearthed in the same area, all with similar burial artifacts found with them. Some reports claimed the length of the skeleton’s legs to be five feet alone. Other reports show large craniums of skeletons with double rows of teeth.

A Controlled Narrative
While stories of this nature sound fantastical, there are numerous reports of skeletons of the same size appearing in newspaper articles from The New York Times and other reputable sources. The majority of these reports occur during the mid to late 19th century, which Vieira sees as being the turning point in a censored narrative that has now dominated our history textbooks. He says he thinks that awareness of both the mounds and giants was common knowledge during this primarily agrarian time. There is even supposed reference to it from Abraham Lincoln. In a written account of a speech that he was preparing to give at Niagara Falls, he wrote,
“The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now.”
Vieira believes that a prejudiced narrative was created to discredit Native Americans or portray them as savages because if they were seen as having built the mounds it would show them as mathematically and technically advanced. Vieira says he thinks that the removal of any evidence of the giants might have occurred because they wouldn’t fit into the controlled narrative of manifest destiny. Subsequently, many of the mounds were allowed to be destroyed by settlers and farmers as America was colonized, with no regard to the reverence that the natives held for them.
And whether the tall skeletons belonged to a race of giant natives themselves or another race that predated them is unknown, but it is thought that the American Indians venerated them.
Another conspiracy surrounding the hidden history of these giants points to the Smithsonian. Within the ethnology reports of the museum, there are 17 cases of the Smithsonian uncovering giant skeletons over seven feet tall. The probability of a human growing seven feet tall is .000007 percent, meaning they would have had to excavate roughly 2.5 million bodies to have found that many skeletons of that size.
There are also supposed reports of the Smithsonian Institution purchasing giant skeletons excavated by citizens, which then disappeared, never to be heard from again.
The Smithsonian even had a division for exploring mounds, of which there is a written record of them uncovering giant skeletons whose bones crumbled to dust when exposed to air. Was this a coverup by the famed museum, or did they simply dispose of a debunked myth?

The Relationship Between Lemuria and Atlantis
Lemuria and Atlantis were two advanced civilizations that existed during different periods, though there was a time when they coexisted and maintained contact. Both civilizations shared knowledge and technologies, establishing a relationship of cultural and spiritual exchange. The Lemurians and Atlanteans collaborated on several projects, mutually benefiting from each other’s discoveries and advancements.
The relationship between Lemuria and Atlantis was based on cooperation and mutual respect. The Atlanteans, who emerged after the Lemurians, adopted many of the spiritual and technological practices developed in Lemuria. This exchange allowed both civilizations to reach high levels of evolution and consciousness, significantly influencing the progress of humanity.
However, as both civilizations grew, differences in their approaches and philosophies began to emerge. While the Lemurians focused more on spirituality and harmony with nature, the Atlanteans began to develop technologies aimed at control. These differences eventually led to tensions and conflicts that contributed to the fall of both civilizations.
The Fall of Lemuria
The fall of Lemuria was a cataclysmic event that marked the end of a golden age of wisdom and peace. According to various esoteric traditions, Lemuria was destroyed by a series of natural disasters, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, that submerged much of the continent into the Pacific Ocean. This event was seen as a necessary energetic rebalancing of the Earth.
Before their fall, the Lemurians knew their time was coming to an end. Many of them migrated to other parts of the world, carrying with them their knowledge and traditions. These survivors established new communities in regions such as Asia, the Americas, and Africa, where they influenced the development of local civilizations and planted the seeds of new spiritual cultures.
Despite the physical destruction of Lemuria, its legacy continued through the stories and teachings passed down by the survivors. These stories became the foundation of many mythologies and belief systems around the world, keeping the memory of Lemuria alive and preserving its contribution to the spiritual evolution of humanity.
The Legacy of Lemuria
The legacy of Lemuria is evident in various spiritual and cultural traditions around the world. The knowledge and practices of the Lemurians were integrated into the cultures of Asia, the Americas, and Africa, influencing their belief systems, ceremonies, and social structures. This legacy can be seen in the similarities between the mythologies and spiritual practices of these regions.
The Lemurian teachings on connecting with nature and utilizing cosmic energies have endured through the centuries. These teachings are reflected in practices such as meditation, the use of crystals for healing, and the application of sacred geometry principles in architecture. The influence of Lemuria is especially notable in indigenous wisdom and shamanic traditions.
Today, many seekers and spiritual communities continue to explore and honor the legacy of Lemuria. Through study and spiritual practices, they strive to revive ancient knowledge and apply it to the modern world. This renewed interest in Lemuria highlights the ongoing relevance of its wisdom in the quest for balance and harmony with nature and the cosmos.
