Mystery History video. No mystery involved of course, for those of true biblical faith.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6tEqHrbxWo

More evidence of ancient structures being themselves built upon the ruins of more advanced ancient civilizations before them. Some of which is pre-flood no doubt. Showing signs of water erosion even in Egypt. Not that this video itself suggests such, as few ever do. They simply choose other narratives not being bible beleivers.

Andre the Giant.  One of the greatest giants to ever live.

I think Lawrence Taylor was probably the greatest giant ever, TC.  Andre is a distant second at best.  Maybe Buster Posey should be second, even.   

1Sa 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. 7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.

Cubit = 18-21 inches. Span = 9-10 1/2 inches. Goliath was between 9'9" to 11'4 1/2 inches tall. I think he has your giants beat, and he was post flood.

Good video concerning remaining evidence of Sodom and Gomorrah. The end gets a bit sketchy when the narrator tries to bring an eternal hell into the biblical picture though.

2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Jud 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Sodom and Gomorrha are examples of the effects of eternal fire. It does not burn eternally, rather its effects are eternal. God could not make the following promise, while there was a place called hell where the lost will suffer eternally.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

This video is not from the creationist viewpoint. It addresses animals discovered in ice. Pay attention to the wolf head found in ice. The head itself is half the size of modern wolves entire bodies. A fact stated abruptly and then passed by quickly. A bear found is also larger than polar bears today, which I believe are the largest at this time. Evidence of a superior world in the past filled with larger and superior creatures is all over the place, but mean nothing to those who have already chosen their faith in evolution, and view everything through this tunnel.

I suppose you could make an argument for his athleticism and his skills but IMO, an athlete is also a person that competes based on his abilities. WWE doesn't allow it's competitors to freely compete in the matches, it's a script that is followed with fake punches, kicks, body slams, and ultimately-the win.

QuoteOverview of the Biggest Bugs That Ever Lived

Updated October 24, 2019
Goliath beetles and sphinx moths would be described as large by just about anyone living today, but some prehistoric insects would dwarf these evolutionary descendants. During the Paleozoic era, the Earth teemed with giant insects, from dragonflies with wingspans measured in feet, to mayflies nearly 18 inches in breadth.

While over a million insect species live today, truly giant insects no longer exist. Why did giant insects live in prehistoric times, but disappear from the Earth over time?

When Were Insects the Biggest?
The Paleozoic era occurred 542 to 250 million years ago. It is divided into six periods of time and the last two saw the development of the largest insects. These were known as the Carboniferous period (360 to 300 million years ago) and the Permian period (300 to 250 million years ago).

Atmospheric oxygen is the single most limiting factor for insect size. During the Carboniferous and Permian periods, atmospheric oxygen concentrations were significantly higher than they are today. Prehistoric insects breathed air that was 31 to 35 percent oxygen, as compared to just 21 percent oxygen in the air you're breathing right now. 

The largest insects lived during the Carboniferous period. It was the time of the dragonfly with over a two-foot wingspan and a millipede that could reach ten feet. As conditions changed in the Permian period, the bugs diminished in size. Yet, this period did have its share of giant cockroaches and other insects we would certainly classify as giants.

How Did the Bugs Get So Big?
The cells in your body get the oxygen they need to survive via your circulatory system. Oxygen is carried by the blood through your arteries and capillaries to each and every cell in your body. In insects, on the other hand, respiration occurs by simple diffusion through the cell walls.

Insects take in atmospheric oxygen through spiracles, openings in the cuticle through which gasses enter and exit the body. Oxygen molecules travel via the tracheal system. Each tracheal tube ends with a tracheole, where the oxygen dissolves into the tracheole fluid. The O2 then diffuses into the cells.

When oxygen levels were higher -- as in the prehistoric era of giant insects -- this diffusion-limited respiratory system could supply sufficient oxygen to meet the metabolic needs of a larger insect. Oxygen could reach cells deep within the insect's body, even when that insect measured several feet long.

As atmospheric oxygen decreased over evolutionary time, these innermost cells could not be adequately supplied with oxygen. Smaller insects were better equipped to function in a hypoxic environment. And so, insects evolved into smaller versions of their prehistoric ancestors............................

QuoteEVIDENCE FOR OXYGEN IN THE EARLY EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE

by Owen Omid (Ommid Bekrai Boroujerdi)

Did the early Earth have more oxygen than today? Why is there so much oxygen in the crust? Why is there so much nitrogen in the earth's atmosphere today? These are questions that must be asked to understand the origin and formation of the earth. Many have postulated that the atmosphere of the early earth had more oxygen than today.

Fossils of large animals including dinosaurs have been found in the past and scientists speculate that a higher oxygen level in the past would allow for longer lifespans. The large amount of nitrogen in today's atmosphere must also be explained, possibly from volcanic gases or from some other source inside the earth. In addition to making up 21 percent of the earth's atmosphere today, oxygen makes up 46 percent of the earth's crust by mass and 89 percent of seawater on earth.

A recent study has shown that air bubbles have been found trapped inside salt crystals in pre-Flood sedimentary rock layers in west central Australia (known as Precambrian layers according to mainstream scientists).  These air bubbles and their composition were compared to modern air bubbles inside salt crystals and showed that the ancient bubbles had more than half the oxygen percentage (10.9 percent) of the modern atmosphere. This discovery gives strong evidence for a pre-Flood atmospheric oxygen level much higher than previously thought and much closer to today's level.

Evolutionists believe that the early earth had very little oxygen (less than 10 percent of today's amount) and was composed primarily of ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. The Miller-Urey experiment used these gases to simulate early earth conditions in hopes of proving spontaneous chemical reactions that would spur the naturalistic formation of life. However, that experiment was only successful in producing certain organic molecules and could not explain how these molecules could combine together to form proteins and the basic tenants of the living cell.

The Australia research gives evidence for large oxygen levels in the early Earth's atmosphere and that complex life including animals could have existed on Earth earlier than previously proposed. Creationists use the evidence of large percentages of oxygen in the ancient past to give evidence for a much shorter time span for the age of the Earth. According to the creationist model, suitable oxygen levels were were installed during the creation week, which would have allowed complex life to exist near the beginning of the formation of the Earth.

Billions of years were not needed to produce the adequate oxygen levels needed to support the complex life of today that would allow animals and humans to survive, according to the creationist model. In addition, scientists have examined the chemical composition of early Earth rocks and sedimentary strata, including Precambrian sedimentary layers and much evidence exists that these rocks and sediments of the early Earth formed during the existence of an atmosphere abundant in oxygen, despite the assumptions of mainstream evolutionist scientists.

Oxygen and complexity were here from the beginning. Creation was the mechanism of our existence, not evolution. De-evolution is the natural course we see in the present and evidence we have from the past. Species are continually lost, information is lost, and todays creatures are much smaller than those of the past with a continually decreasing amount of variety due to extinctions.

QuoteRaising giant insects to unravel ancient oxygen

The giant dragonflies of ancient Earth with wingspans of up to 70 centimeters (28 inches) are generally attributed to higher oxygen atmospheric levels in the atmosphere in the past. New experiments in raising modern insects in various oxygen-enriched atmospheres have confirmed that dragonflies grow bigger with more oxygen, or hyperoxia.

However, not all insects were larger when oxygen was higher in the past. For instance, the largest cockroaches ever are skittering around today. The question becomes how and why do different groups respond to changes in atmospheric oxygen...................................

"There have been a lot of hypotheses about the impact of oxygen on evolution of animals, but nobody has really tested them," said VandenBrooks. "So we have used a two-pronged approach: 1) study modern insects in varying oxygen levels and 2) study fossil insects and understand changes in the past in light of these results."

QuoteAtmospheric Experiments

For some time medical hyperbaric chambers have been used to hasten healing of skin injuries and various other ailments. While many hospitals contain a chamber like the one shown to the right, professional sports teams and celebrities have increasingly been experimenting with sleeping in enhanced oxygen and high pressure. Around the world, evidence is mounting that these chambers can reduce infection (as the skin itself absorbs oxygen), heal diseases, decrease stress, and enhance stamina. Perhaps the increased atmospheric pressure and larger percentage of oxygen on the early earth would have similarly contributed to a much healthier environment for biological systems. Scientists conducting deep sea research have built stations far under the ocean. Aquanauts living for a month or more in this setting with increased pressure and extra oxygen have reported some unexpected side effects, like increased hair growth.

Particularly interesting experiments were conducted by the late Dr. Kei Mori of Keio University in Tokyo. Dr. Mori raised plants under special light that filtered out IR and UV radiation. His unique process of sunlight collection via a fresnel ray assembly and fiberoptic transmission, called "Himawari Sunlighting," is now marketed worldwide. At first Mori feared the filtered light would be detrimental. But after extensive experiments he claimed it could promote healing and "because the ultraviolet is blocked, this sunlight does not fade fabrics or damage skin." (Gilmore, Elaine, "Sunflower over Tokyo," Popular Science, May 1988, p. 75.) One long-lived tomato plant (shown right) was grown in a special nutrient-rich hydroponic solution to be exhibited at the Japan Expo '85. Under piped sunlight and controlled atmosphere, this veritable "tomato tree" grew over 30 ft high and yielded more than 13,000 ripe tomatoes during the six months of the Expo! (Hiroshi, Koichibara, "Tomatomation," UNESCO Courier, March 1987.) Much of the credit for this agronomic wonder was given to the Himawari technology. "Prime attractions will include a TV screen as tall as an eight-story building and a 30-foot tomato tree grown by researchers using light-absorbent optical fibers." (LA Times, March 3, 1985.) Could Mori's environment of filtered sunlight, enhanced carbon dioxide, and nutrient-rich liquids mirror the conditions on the early earth?

In 2012 Genesis Park staff conducted experiments with sunlight filtering in water. Bean plants were grown in two sealed jars with identical soil. One jar was submerged in water within a large clear tub (approximately a half meter deep in the water). A second jar was placed in an identical container with no water (a control group). The bean plants in the control group initially grew faster than those submerged. But the group submerged in the water bath grew thicker stems, more foliage, and appeared healthier. The experiment had to be curtailed after a couple of weeks because the plants grew to the top of the jar. The procedure was repeated multiple times with similar results.

Dan Carlson was inspired by Genesis 2:6 ("But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground...") to do experiments with "misting" plants. He also incorporated the music of birds with certain oscillating frequencies that open the plants' stomata (shown to the left under a scanning electron microscope). While these pores are open, the leaves are sprayed with a plant nutrient enzyme. The results are amazing. A purple passion plant, which normally grows to about 18 inches, grew under Carlson's care to a Guinness World Record 1,300 ft high plant. Carlson grew 10 inch long potatoes and cantaloupes the size of soccer balls. His system was dubbed "Sonic Bloom." This patented process was used to treat apple orchards in Wisconsin. In a state averaging 290 bushels/acre, the mist and song bird music helped trees yield over 500 bushels/acre and the fruit has a shelf life of five months instead of the normal 30 days. Cucumbers, soybeans, cabbages, walnuts, tomatoes, cauliflower, mangoes, lemons and even redwood trees have been greatly impacted by this revolutionary agricultural system. ("Sonic Bloom," Creation Illustrated, Vol. 7 No. 2, 2000, pp. 24-31.)

Genesis Park staff worked with a local "big pumpkin" grower to test the Sonic Bloom formula. The result was a 1,458 pound pumpkin that was the world's record as of its weighing in September, 2003! Dan Carlson's methodology appears to confirm the superiority of the original hydrological cycle present on the early earth.  It seems that, in addition to misting, there was extensive underground watering system. The fountains of the great deep that would later erupt and supply the bulk of the Flood water (Genesis 7:11) might have supplied an artesian system of active springs that fed rivers with fresh water in the absence of rain. We note in Genesis 2:10 that God made a river to flow through Eden (likely from a large underground reservoir) and water the whole garden. It produced enough water to support four significant rivers which then flowed out in different directions. If the early earth enjoyed a significantly higher oxygen content, it makes sense that God would have initially created a different hydrological cycle. The storm activity that creates rain also brings lightning, which would have had the potential to ignite devastating fires in a high-oxygen environment.

Yes, higher oxygen levels can and do increase the size of plants, animals, and insects. Thus the abundant evidence of the giants of earths past. A different world, with a different atmosphere allowed for longer life, greater growth, and greater productivity. This is acknowledged by both the creationist and evolutionary faiths. Each interpreting the evidence of the same according to their faiths. Evolutionists declaring the observations of creationists cannot even be considered science according to their own narrow and restrictive views of the same, Creationists simply concluding evolutionists to be wrong according to their own faith.

The above video examines ancient structures and the obvious remains or imprints of them left now in solid rock. The structures themsleves being covered or buried in solidified volcanic ash, as the video suggests, and or other conditions involving water, mud, lava flow and such in or under water and what have you during the global flood. Many of the imprints and even rooms or structures in solid rock today, being what remains of the materials that turned to solid rock, while the structures they buried have long since decayed or eroded away. People didn't carve all these things out of solid rock, many are simply the imprints or hollowed out remains of structures that once were. Perhaps even cleaned out of the old decaying materials later, and then occupied and used by those who found them.

QuoteTHE MYSTERY BEHIND THE 18 GIANT SKELETONS FOUND IN THE USA


18 Strange Skeletons Found in Wisconsin Nine-foot Skeletons with Huge Heads and Strange Facial Features Shocked Scientists When They Were Uncovered 107 Year Ago Scientists are remaining stubbornly silent about a lost race of giants found in burial mounds near Lake Delavan, Wisconsin, in May 1912.

The dig site at Lake Delavan was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds that proved to be classic examples of 8th century Woodland Culture. But the enormous size of the skeletons and elongated skulls found in May 1912 did not fit very neatly into anyone's concept of a textbook standard.

They were enormous. These were not average human beings.

Strange Skulls

First reported in the 4 May 1912 issue of the New York Times, the 18 skeletons found by the Peterson brothers on Lake Lawn Farm in southwest Wisconsin exhibited several strange and freakish features.

Their heights ranged between seven and nine feet and their skulls "presumably those of men, are much larger than the heads of any race which inhabit America to-day."

Above the eye sockets, "the head slopes straight back and the nasal bones protrude far above the cheekbones. The jawbones are long and pointed, bearing a minute resemblance to the head of the monkey. The teeth in the front of the jaw are regular molars."

The mystery of The Wisconsin Giants

Was this some sort of prank, a hoax played by local farm boys or a demented taxidermist for fun and the attention of the press? The answer is no.

The Lake Delavan find of May 1912 was only one of the dozens and dozens of similar finds that were reported in local newspapers from 1851 forward to the present day. It was not even the first set of giant skeletons found in Wisconsin.

On 10 August 1891, the New York Times reported that scientists from the Smithsonian Institution had discovered several large "pyramidal monuments" on Lake Mills, near Madison, Wisconsin. "Madison was in ancient days the center of a teeming population numbering not less than 200,000," the Times said. The excavators found an elaborate system of defensive works which they named Fort Aztalan.

"The celebrated mounds of Ohio and Indiana can bear no comparison, either in size, design or the skill displayed in their construction with these gigantic and mysterious monuments of the earth — erected we know not by whom, and for what purpose we can only conjecture," said the Times.

On 20 December 1897, the Times followed up with a report on three large burial mounds that had been discovered in Maple Creek, Wisconsin. One had recently been opened.

"In it was found the skeleton of a man of gigantic size. The bones measured from head to foot over nine feet and were in a fair state of preservation. The skull was as large as a half bushel measure. Some finely tempered rods of copper and other relics were lying near the bones."

Giant skulls and skeletons of a race of "Goliaths" have been found on a very regular basis throughout the Midwestern states for more than 100 years. Giants have been found in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and New York, and their burial sites are similar to the well-known mounds of the Mound Builder people.

The spectrum of Mound builder history spans a period of more than 5,000 years (from 3400 BCE to the 16th CE), a period greater than the history of Ancient Egypt and all of its dynasties.

There is a "prevailing scholarly consensus" that we have an adequate historical understanding of the peoples who lived in North America during this period. However, the long record of anomalous finds like those at Lake Delavan suggests otherwise.

The Great Smithsonian Cover-Up

Has there been a giant cover-up? Why aren't there public displays of gigantic Native American skeletons at natural history museums?

The skeletons of some Mound Builders are certainly on display. There is a wonderful exhibit, for example, at the Aztalan State Park where one may see the skeleton of a "Princess of Aztalan" in the museum.

But the skeletons placed on display are normal-sized, and according to some sources, the skeletons of giants have been covered up. Specifically, the Smithsonian Institution has been accused of making a deliberate effort to hide the "telling of the bones" and to keep the giant skeletons locked away.

In the words of Vine Deloria, a Native American author, and professor of law:

"Modern 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 characterized by a people of unusual demeanor. The great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the nineteenth 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 anyone, but government officials. Among these bones may lay answers not even sought by these officials concerning the deep past."

While I do believe in giants it is becoming increasingly more difficult when there is not a single concrete skeleton of one that
could support this belief.

Perhaps they have all been spirited off to Area 51??? 

Short of a belief that these would be on par with the ETs many also believe in what earthly reason could there be for a hoax to span 100 plus years in multiple locations.

It seems that even every one of them that was ever sketched and/or photographed has managed to disappear....

Has to be an Area 51 kind of thing or perhaps dropping them to the well on Oak Island.....

Unless their genealogy could trace back to Nephilim and they dont want people to be afraid?

Amo.. please keep posting these... one day something will turn up....
