Mysterious
Human Skeleton Discovered in Saudi
Arabia 
Recent gas exploration activity in the south east region of the Arabian desert uncovered a skeletal remains of a human of
phenomenal size. This region of the Arabian desert
is called the Empty Quarter, or in Arabic,
'Rab-Ul-Khalee'. The discovery was made by the Aramco Exploration team. As God
states in the Quran that He had created people of phenomenal size the like of
which He has not created since. These were the people of Aad where Prophet Hud
was sent. They were very tall, big, and very powerful, such that they could put
their arms around a tree trunk and uproot it. Later these people, who were
given all the power, turned against God and the Prophet and transgressed beyond
all boundaries set by God. As a result they were destroyed.
Ulema's of Saudi Arabia
believe these to be the remains of the people of Aad. Saudi Military has
secured the whole area and no one is allowed to enter except the ARAMCO
personnel. It has been kept in secrecy, but a military helicopter took some
pictures from the air and one of the pictures leaked out into the internet in Saudi Arabia.
See the attachment and note the size of the two men standing in the picture in
comparison to the size of the skeleton.
AN ALLEGED FOSSIL MAN
Hazleton
Penn. Sentinel, August
1881
(Photo:Coal miners pose for a photograph just
before descending into a mine in Hazelton, in eastern Pennsylvania.)
About three miles from Ashley, a Mr. McCauley has
the contract from the Wilkes-Barre Coal & Iron Co. for sinking a coal
shaft.
It is twenty feet square and is intended to have
two tracks for carriages to run in hoisting up the coal, and is said to be the
largest opening of the kind in the coal regions.
It is located near the base of the mountain and has
reached a depth of 475 feet.
Saturday last, when the gang, or what is known as
the second shift of men, were about retiring, after firing off a course of
holes, Tom Cassidy, the foreman, descended the shaft to ascertain the result of
the explosion, and was astonished to find an immense cavity in one of the sides
of the shaft.
The explosion appeared to have a terrible effect
and caused more damage than benefit on one side, but his astonishment was still
greater increased on clearing away some of the refuse of the rock blown by the
shots to discover a solid mass of rock in which appears a clearly-defined human
shape of giant proportions.
All the limbs,
muscles and linaments are apparent. The rock is about 16 feet in length, 18 in breadth, and about 8 in thickness. The dimensions
of the human frame are giantly, measuring 12 feet in length and 4 feet across the chest.
Across the breast is the impression of a huge shield,
about four feet in circumference, while the right hand clutches the broken and
butt end of a large cutlass or sword.
The rock was taken out whole and is now in possession
of Mr. McCauley in Ashley.

The
Giants of Yosemite Valley
By
Bobbie Short
The
year, 1885. In
California's great Yosemite Valley under the misty expanse near Bridal-Veil
Falls, a party of silver and wannabe gold miners discovered what was to become
the mystery of the decade. While having lunch, Mr. G. F. Martindale who was in
charge of a party of miners, noticed a pile of stones that was placed against
the wall of a cliff.
Seasoned
miners, they were familiar with the natural formation of rock, this particular
grouping struck Mr. Martindale as being unusual and seemed not to have been
placed naturally. Realizing that if something in the wild is not placed
naturally, he could only conclude human hands placed it there.
The
miners set about removing the pile of stones. Behind the pile of stones they
found a wall of rock that had been shaped and joined together with
knowledgeable masonry. The joints between the rocks were all of uniform 1/8 of
an inch in thickness and according to the reports from the men who were there,
it was a beautiful job of stone work.
"As
pretty as any wall on any building that I have ever seen" is the way one
miner described it. Thinking that they had perhaps stumbled upon some lost
treasure, the party of miners proceeded without delay and issuing great haste
began tearing down the wall to get to the incredible riches that surely must
lie within.
Disappointment
fell heavily upon their heads as, in the end, they found the vault empty save a
very large mummified corpse that lay on the ledge, which was carved from the
natural stone for the express purpose of burial.
Lighting
their carbide headlamps they set about examining the vault to see if perhaps
they had overlooked something perhaps a map or some other clue to where the
inevitable treasure might be hidden. Treasure of course being far more
interesting than the fossil bones of a giant mummy.
What
they found was another vault that had been carved from natural rock - 9 feet 3 inches high, 18 feet 6 inches deep and 8 feet 4 inches wide - containing
a tall mummified corpse that was 6
feet 8
inches tall. The corpse was wrapped in what appeared to
be animal skins and covered with a layer of fine gray power.
The
miners removed parts of the animal skins to view the corpse and found it to be
that of a woman holding a child to her breast.
The
mummy was then taken to Los Angeles where it was placed before men, considered
to be of great science in those days, most of whom agreed that is was a
"relic" from a race that must have inhabited this country long before
the American Indian. Tall people, they claimed, from a race which preceded the
coastal natives?
All
agreed that the height of 6
feet 8
inches tall in death must have represented an actual
height in life of about seven or more feet. If their height relationship
between men and women was approximately what it is today, then they concluded
the males of the species could possibly have been some eight feet tall.
The
most popular theory of the day was that the lady was a relic of some royal
family of a lost Stone Age tribe of giants.
Interestingly
enough, Captains Cooke and Magellan both wrote in their ship's logs of a race
of giants that inhabited what we now know as the Pacific coast of South
America. Cook was even supposed to have captured one of the giants reported to
be nine feet tall.
Unfortunately,
the giant escaped by breaking the ropes that bound him to the mast and jumped
off the ship, overboard into the sea.
In
an additional excerpt, Capt. Cooke wrote in his log that he was himself was 6 feet 3 inches tall, (which was
very tall for those days when the average was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and under)
and he could easily stand under the arm of the giant.
Cooke's
report started a furor that was to last another 100 years and cause many to
seek these giant people.
In
the next century, many reports were filed stating that various of our major
explorers had sighted the giants of what was then called Patagonia - but none
had contact or for that matter even attempted to capture one of the giant men.
Then suddenly, around the year 1650, the reports of sighting giants stopped
abruptly.
Perhaps
the giants moved inland, perhaps because they moved far away. They couldn't
have just vanished. They could have simply become unpopular attractions and
thus slipped gradually into oblivion. The fact remains that once up a time,
they were there.
The
Yosemite Valley, where the mummy was found has always been considered to be a
place of great mystery by the Indians who lived there, the Ahwahneechees. The
folklore of the Ahwahneechees relates a story of a giant who came into the
valley long before the white man arrived.
The
giant's name was Oo-el-en. They were vicious giants for they liked to eat the
meat of the Indians. Oo-el-en would catch the adults and carry them away to a
hiding place near the foot of Cascade Falls. Oo-el-en would then cut the people
into small pieces, hanging their meat in the sun to dry into jerky.
The
legend says that the Ahwahneechees finally killed the giants and burned their
bodies. This rules out the possibility that the giant mummy of the Yosemite
Valley might have been Oo-el-en.
However,
if there was a giant, where did he come from and was there more than one of her
kind. We may never know - sadly, all the Ahwahneechees are dead, the last
having died in 1947.
The
one thing the Ahwahneechees did leave was a written record of their long and
complex burial rites. These Indians usually burned their dead - as they
believed that by doing so they released the spirit of the deceased more
quickly, so as to escape the evil spirits that lie in wait to grab it.
The
important part of the ritual in relationship to the mummy of the Yosemite
Valley was that they always wrapped their dead in skins of animals before they
were burned. If you recall, the mummy of the Yosemite Valley was wrapped in the
skins of animals and covered with a fine gray powder. Ashes, perhaps?
The
learned scientist of that time, July of 1895, all agreed that the mummy
predated the Christian era. It is therefore doubtful that the mummy was in any
way connected with the Indians, as they were believed to have settled in the
Yosemite Valley about 800 to 1000 years ago.
It
is important to note at this point that the Ahwahneechees were also very small
people, most being less than 5
feet 3
inches tall. However, there have been traces of a much
earlier people that have inhabited the Southwest…..
Ancient Civilization Beneath Death Valley?
EXPEDITION REPORTS NINE-FOOT SKELETONS
August 4, 1947 edition of the San Diego Union.

Newspaper clipping from San Diego Union. Click and drag photo to resize. Script from The Java Script Source
According
to the clipping, explorers had unearthed, near the Arizona-Nevada-California
line, the mummified remains of strangely costumed giants which the discoverers
dated to around 80,000 years ago.
The
Union reported that a Howard E. Hill of Los Angeles was recounting the work of
Dr. F. Bruce Russell, a retired Cincinnati physician who had originally located
the first of several tunnels near Death Valley in 1931, but had not been able
to return to the area until 1947.
With
the help of Dr. Daniel S. Bovee, who with Hill's father had once helped open up
New Mexico's cliff dwellings, Russell had recovered the remains of several men
of 8 to 9 feet
in height.
"These
giants," said Hill, "are clothed in garments consisting of a medium
length jacket and trouser extending slightly below the knees. The texture of
the material is said to resemble gray dyed sheepskin, but obviously it was
taken from an animal unknown today."
Hill
also said, according to the Union, that in another cavern was found the ritual
hall of the ancient people, together with devices and markings similar to those
now used by the Masonic order. In a long tunnel were well-preserved remains of
animals, including elephants and tigers. So far, Hill added, no women have been
found.
He
said the explorers believe that what they found was the burial place of the
tribe's hierarchy. Hieroglyphics, he added, bear a resemblance to what is known
of those from the lost continent of Atlantis. They are chiseled, he added, on
carefully polished granite.

TRACE OF GIANTS FOUND IN DESERT
LOS
ANGELES, Aug 4. (AP)-- A retired Ohio doctor has discovered relics of an
ancient civilization, whose men were 8 or 9 feet tall in the Colorado
desert near the Arizona-Nevada-California line, an associate said today.
Howard
E. Hill. of Los Angeles speaking before the Transportation Club, disclosed that
several well-preserved mummies were taken yesterday from caverns in an area
roughly 180 miles
square, extending through much of southern Nevada from Death Valley, Calif.
across the Colorado River into Arizona.
Hill
said the discoverer is Dr. F. Bruce Russell, retired Cincinnati physician, who
stumbled on the first of several tunnels in 1931, soon after coming West and
deciding to try mining for his health.
MUMMIES
FOUND
Not
until this year, however, did Dr. Russell go into the situation thoroughly,
Hill told the luncheon. With Dr. Daniel S. Bovee, of Los Angeles -- who with
his father helped open up New Mexico's cliff dwellings -- Dr. Russell has found
mummified remains together with implements of the civilization, which Dr. Bovee
had tentatively placed at about 80,000 years old.
"These
giants are clothed in garments consisting of a medium length jacket and trouser
extending slightly below the knees." said Hill. "The texture of the
material is said to resemble gray dyed sheepskin, but obviously it was taken
from an animal unknown today."
MARKINGS
DISCOVERED
Hill said that in another cavern was found the ritual hall of the ancient
people, together with devices and markings similar to those now used by the
Masonic order. In a long tunnel were well-preserved remains of animals
including elephants and tigers. So far, Hill added, no women have been found.
He
said the explorers believe that what they found was the burial place of the
tribe's hierarchy. Hieroglyphics, he added, bear a resemblance to what is known
of those from the lost continent of Atlantis. They are chiseled, he added, on
carefully-polished granite.
He
said Dr. Viola V. Pettit, of London, who made excavations around Petra, on the
Arabian desert, soon will begin an inspection of the remains.

EXPEDITION
REPORTS NINE-FOOT SKELETONS
"Hot Citizen" Nevada Paper, August 5, 1947.
Death
Valley: Click and drag photo to resize.
A
band of amateur archaeologists announced today they have discovered a lost
civilization of men nine feet tall in Californian caverns. Howard E. Hill,
spokesman for the expedition, said the civilization may be "the fabled
lost continent of Atlantis".
The
caves contain mummies of men and animals and implements of a culture 80,000
years old but "in some respects more advanced than ours," Hill said.
He said the 32 caves covered a 180-square-mile area in California's Death
Valley and southern Nevada.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS
SKEPTICAL
"This
discovery may be more important than the unveiling of King Tut's tomb," he
said. Professional archaeologists were skeptical of Hill's story. Los Angeles
County Museum scientists pointed out that dinosaurs and tigers which Hill said
lay side by side in the caves appeared on Earth 10,000,000 to 13,000,000 years
apart.
Hill
said the caves were discovered in 1931 by Dr F. Bruce Russell, Beverly Hills
physician, who literally fell in while sinking a shaft for a mining claim.
"He
tried for years to interest people in them," Hill said, "but nobody
believed him." Russell and several hobbyists incorporated after the war as
Amazing Explorations, Inc. and started
digging. Several caverns contained mummified remains of "a race of men
eight to nine feet tall," Hill said.
"They
apparently wore a prehistoric zoot suit--a hair garment of medium length, jacket
and knee-length trousers."
CAVERN
TEMPLE FOUND Another
cavern contained their ritual hall with devices and markings similar to the
Masonic order, he said. "A long tunnel from this temple took the party
into a room where," Hill said, "well-preserved remains of dinosaurs,
saber-toothed tigers, imperial elephants and other extinct beasts were paired
off in niches as if on display.
"Some
catastrophe apparently drove the people into the caves," he said.
"All of the implements of their civilization were found," he said,
"including household utensils and stoves which apparently cooked by radio
waves."
"I
know," he said, "that you won't believe that."
Article Concerning Same Cave Discovery by Different Men 10 to 15
Years Earlier
Ancient Civilization Beneath Death Valley?
Author unknown
Bourke
Lee, in his book 'DEATH VALLEY MEN' (MacMillan Co., N.Y. 1932), chapter:
"Old Gold", describes a conversation which he had several years ago
with a small group of Death valley residents.
The
conversation had eventually turned to the subject of Paihute Indian legends. At
one point two of the men, Jack and Bill, described their experience with an
'underground city' which they claimed to have discovered after one of them had
fallen through the bottom of an old mine shaft near Wingate Pass.
They
found themselves in a natural underground cavern which they claimed to have
followed about 20 miles
north into the heart of the Panamint Mountains. To their amazement, they
allegedly found themselves in an huge, ancient, underground cavern city.
They
claimed that they discovered within the city several perfectly preserved
'mummies', which wore thick arm bands, wielded gold spears, etc. The city had apparently
been abandoned for ages, except for the mummies, and the entire underground
system looked very ancient.
It
was formerly lit, they found out by accident, by an ingenious system of lights
fed by subterranean gases. They claimed to have seen a large, polished round
table which looked as if it may have been part of an ancient council chamber,
giant statues of solid gold, stone vaults and drawers full of gold bars and
gemstones of all kinds, heavy stone wheelbarrows which were perfectly balanced
and scientifically-constructed so that a child could use them, huge stone doors
which were almost perfectly balanced by counter-weights, and other incredible
sights.
They
also claimed to have followed the caverns upwards to a higher level which
ultimately opened out onto the face of the Panamints, about half-way up the
eastern slope, in the form of a few ancient tunnel-like quays.
They
realized that the valley below was once under water and they eventually came to
the conclusion that the arched openings were ancient 'docks' for sea vessels.
They could allegedly see Furnace Creek Ranch and Wash far below them.
They
told Bourke Lee that they had brought some of the treasure out of the caverns
and tried to set up a deal with certain people, including scientists associated
with the Smithsonian Institute, in order to gain help to explore and publicize
the city as one of the 'wonders of the world'.
These
efforts ended in disappointment however when a 'friend' of theirs stole the
treasure (which was also the evidence) and they were scoffed at and rejected by
the scientists when they went to show them the 'mine' entrance and could not
find it.
A
recent cloud-burst, they claimed, had altered and rearranged the entire
countryside and the landscape did not look like it had been before.
When
Lee last heard from the two men, Bill and Jack, they were preparing to climb
the east face of the Panamints to locate the ancient tunnel openings or quays
high up the side of the steep slope. Bourke Lee never did see or hear from his
friends ever again.
In
1946 a
man calling himself Dr. F. Bruce Russell, and claiming to be a retired
physician, told a similar story about finding strange underground rooms in the
Death Valley area in 1931.
He
told of a large room with several tunnels leading off in different directions.
One of these tunnels led to another large room that contained three mummies.
Artifacts
found in the room appeared to be a combination of Egyptian and American Indian
design. The most amazing thing about the mummies though was the fact that they
were more than eight feet tall.
Dr.
Russell and a group of investors formed "Amazing Explorations, Inc"
to handle the release, and profit, from this remarkable find. But, as stories
of this type usually go, Russell disappeared, and the investigators were never
able to find the caverns and tunnels again, even though Russell had personally
taken them there.
The
desert can be very deceiving to anyone not used to traveling it. Month's later,
Russell's car was found abandoned, with a burst radiator, in a remote area of
Death Valley. His suitcase was still in the car.
The
old TV series Death Valley Days once ran a short story about western pioneers
also finding mummies in the desert. Since one of the script writers stated that
"there had never been a script without a solid basis in fact", it
would be interesting to find out what their source had been.
For
now, these stories will have to be shrouded in mystery, along with the 21,000
year old bones found in California's Imperial Valley, also rumored to have been
spirited off by the Smithsonian.
Kokoweef Caverns
SWORN STATEMENT OF E. P. DORR.
Below
you will find a transcription of the sworn statement made by Earl Dorr as it
pertained to Kokoweef Caverns. This was published in the California Mining
Journal, November 1940, though written in 1934.
It
is speculated that Earl was attempting to get capital at the time for his
projects in the area.
TO
WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This
is to certify that there is located in San Bernardino County, California, about
two hundred and fifty miles from Los Angeles, a certain cave.
Traveling
over state highways by automobile, the cave is reached in about ten hours.
A
Civil Engineer, Mr. Morton, and I spent four days exploring the cave for more
than eight miles. We carried with us Altimeters, Pedometers, and a Theodolite,
with which to observe and record actual directions, take elevations and
measurements by triangulation. Our exploration revealed the following facts:
1.
From the mouth of the cave we descended as shown by the Altimeters to be about 2000 feet, where we
encountered a canyon, which from the Altimeters and by calculations we found to
be from 3000 to 3500 feet
deeper; making total depth of 5400
feet from the mouth where we entered the caves to the
floor of the canyon.
2.
We found the cave divided into many caverns or chambers, of various sizes, all
filled and embellished with Stalactites and Stalagmites, besides many grotesque
and fantastic shapes that make these caves one of the wonders of the world.

3.
The largest chamber we explored is about 300 ft. wide, 400 feet long and from 50
to 110 feet
high. It is encrusted with crystals, fashioned into festoons of innumerable
Stalactites, that hang from the ceiling, some of which are extremely large.
One,
the largest seen, is 27 feet
in diameter and hangs 1510
feet down into a 3000 ft. canyon. This great Stalactite is
perpetually washed by water flowing down over it and falling into the dark
canyon depths. The huge glistening white crystal is 500 feet longer than the
Eiffel Tower, and challenged us with amazement and wonder.
4.
There is a flowing river on the floor of the canyon, which rises and falls with
tidal regularity. All measurements and estimates of the river, including its
tides and beach sands were reckoned by triangulation, taken with the
Theodolite, and while we did not reach the river, nevertheless, taking
observations with our theodolite and its telescope, we reckoned the river to be
about 300 feet
wide at high tide and 10
feet wide at low tide. It rises and falls from 7 ½ to 8 feet. The Peysert brothers
confirm our reckoning.
5.
When the tide is out, there is exposed on both sides of the river from 100 to 159 feet of black sand,
which the Peysert brothers report is very rich in placer gold. They report the
sands on the river shore to be from 4 to 11 feet deep; and on an
average about 8 feet
deep.
6.
There are numerous ledges above the canyon that are from 10 to 40 feet wide and covered
with sand. We personally explored the ledge sands for a distance of more than
eight miles, finding little variation in the depth and width of these ledge
sands. And wherever examined,the ledge sands are found to be fabulously rich in
placergold.
7.
I have known intimately Oliver, Buck and George Peysert From my boyhood. I have
discussed these caves with them repeatedly and thoroughly. They have reported
to me in detail, their experience in exploring the caves.
One
of them, George, lost his life in the cave. Buck and Oliver say George was
killed by diving in the river on the floor of the canyon.
He
struck an unseen rock, which killed him instantly. They have reported to me
repeatedly their mining experiences and say they mined on the beach sands of
the river a total in all of six weeks.
They
carried lumber down to the river and constructed a sluice box and, using a
pump, the three mined for six weeks, during which time they recovered more than
%57,000 in gold, (gold at $20.00 per ounce); they sent their gold directly to
the U.S. Mint and banked the returns in a bank in Needles, California, and
another bank in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I
last talked to them in my home about November 10th 1934, at which time they
repeated their former statements, giving information as to how they discovered
the river, and more of their experiences in gold mining. They recovered several
of the largest nuggets of gold ever found in California.
Both
Mr. Morton and myself filled our pockets with the sands from the ledges,
carried it out and had it assayed. Just what Mr. Morton's sand assayed, I do
not know, but it was approximately $2000. per ton.
I
carried out ten pounds and two ounces of the ledge sand, and panned seven
pounds, recovering more than $7.00 in gold, with gold at $20.00 an ounce. I
sold the gold for $18.00 per ounce.
The
balance of my ten pounds of sand I sent to John Herman, a Los Angeles Assayer.
His assay certificate shows a value of $2,144.47 per yard - gold at $20.67 per
ounce.
I,
E. P. DORR residing at 300 Aldena Street, Pasadena California make the
foregoing statements for the purpose of inducing investors to invest in the
work of mining the gold in these caves, and solemnly swear that all statements
made hereinabove are true and that all persons will find the physical
conditions in the cave as above stated.

other official documents of the time as shown in the graphics included below.
There were indeed differing spellings of the farm owners name with the correct

"Some
three years ago, the bones of a mastodon were found embedded in the earth about
six miles from this spot. The pit and its ghastly occupants are now open to the
view of any who may wish to make a visit there.
"Later:
Dunnville, August 22,
"There
is not the slightest doubt that the remains of a lost city are on this farm. At
various times within the past years, the remains of mud houses with their
chimneys had been found: and there are dozens of pits of a similar kind to that
just unearthed, though much smaller, in the place which has been discovered
before, though the fact has not been made public hitherto.
The
remains of a blacksmith's shop, containing two tons of charcoal and various
implements, were turned up a few months ago.
"The
farm, which consists of 150
acres, has been cultivated for nearly a century, and was
covered with a thick growth of pine, so that it must have been ages ago since
the remains were deposited there.
The
skulls of the skeletons are of an enormous size and all manner of shapes, about
half as large again as are now to be seen.
The
teeth in most of them are still in almost perfect state of preservation, though
they soon fall out when exposed to the air.
"It
is supposed that there is gold or silver in large quantities to be found in the
premises, as mineral rods have invariably, when tested, pointed to a certain
spot and a few yards from where the last batch of skeletons was found directly
under the apple tree.
Some
large shells, supposed to have been used for holding water, which were also
found in the pit, were almost petrified. There is no doubt that were a scheme
of exploration carried on thoroughly the result would be highly interesting.
A
good deal of excitement exists in the neighborhood, and many visitors call at
the farm daily.
"The
skulls and bones of the giants are fast disappearing, being taken away by
curiosity hunters. It is the intention of Mr. Fredinburg to cover the pit up
very soon. The pit is ghastly in the extreme. Click and drag photo to resize.
The
farm is skirted on the north by the Grand River. The pit is close to the banks,
but marks are there to show where the gold or silver treasure is supposed to be

the appearance of the skulls, it would seem that their possessors died a
violent death, as many of them were broken and dented.

of stone and of all sizes and shapes. The pipes are not unlike in shape the

Some
people profess to believe that the locality of Fredinburg farm was formally an
Indian burial place, but the enormous stature of the skeletons and the fact
that pine trees of centuries growth covered the spot goes far to disprove this
idea.

Cayuga the timber is principally pine, with a small quantity of hard wood
intermixed.

situated close to the river. The village of Indiana is situated on the river,
about two miles above Cayuga, and about six miles below the same village is a
small Episcopal church.

Giant "Homo Sapiens" Footprints Found on Rocks in India

‘Big Foot' walked across Kerala 30,000
years ago!
By Jehovah G, Palakkad (Kerala):
Giant
footprints found at Karalmanna, a hilly village in Kerala's Palakkad District,
are now being projected by anthropologists as belonging to homo sapiens that lived
in the area about 30, 000 years ago.
According
to the team of anthropologists headed by Krishna Swamy the footprints, which
are two feet six inches in length, belonged to a giant human being weighing
about 400 kilograms
(880 pounds?)
and having a height of about 17
feet.
“There
are footprints on the rock, both small and big. All these footprints are in the
shape of human feet but bigger in size,” said Chandran, an awed local resident.
Krishna
Swamy,says the height of the cave in which the giant creature lived was 50 meters, and the
creature must have used it to harbour animals that it killed for survival.

“The big footprints are similar to the
footprints found in Australia and Texas in the United States. It is believed
to be of a giant of 8 to 9
feet tall and around 360 kilograms in
weight.

“The
big footprints are similar to the footprints found in Australia and Texas in
the United States. It is believed to be of a giant of 8 to 9 feet tall and around 360 kilograms in
weight.
We
have found a particular site where there was a huge footprint of 2.6 feet in length.
According to the length it is believed to be of around 400 kilograms in
weight and 17 feet
in height.
The
particular big footed creature about which we are speaking had arranged a set
up inside the rock shelter to watch the movements of other animals. It must be
a carnivorous, no doubt,” Swamy said.
According
to the evidence available, the creature must have lived around 30,000 years
ago. “We have found water, a river and valleys around the cave. According tothe
evidence it must have lived around 30, 000 years ago,” Krishna Swamy added. “
The
site is believed to have many items of geological and anthropological
importance.

Was
there an Indian Bigfoot? Yes, insists a team of amateur anthropologists led by
S R Krishnaswamy. "We found four footprints of Bigfoot. In one, the
footprint of the adult male measures 29 inches and the female size is 26 inches.
Even
the young one's foot size is 8.5
inches," said Krishnaswamy on Monday. Going by the
size of the footmarks, the anthropologists say Indian Bigfoot would have been
far bigger than his Australian and Malaysian counterparts, estimated to be
about 8 feet
tall and weighing a hefty 350
kg.
"The
Bigfoot found in these parts would be diametrically opposite to his
counterparts in size, weight and eating habits. Stone tools that lie strewn
around testify he used to prey on wild animals", said Krishnaswamy.
He
added that while the male's impressions were found near the lofty spot from
where he probably planned his hunting expeditions, the female and child
impressions were found near the mouth of the shelter.
Eminent
anthropologist L K Balaratnam said in Coimbatore that the site is virgin and
could throw up unknown facts. Balaratnam, who along with his father co-authored
India's first book on anthropology, 'Anthropology in India', said the finding
should be "interesting."
He
added that reports of Bigfoot sightings or impressions have not been reported
from anywhere else in the country.
However,
it's still too early to say for sure that there was indeed an Indian Bigfoot.
Carbon dating and detailed scientific analyses will have to be carried out
before it can be truly accepted that Bigfoot indeed once roamed parts of
Kerala.
Till then, we'll just
have to be content with mythological references to giants who straddled the
earth and vaulted across oceans.
