Giants
of the Far North; Giantism or Acromegaly ---Page 17
We note that the discovery of "Giant" remains in around
1930 was written up in the scientific journals of the day with casual racism.
We note with interest as well scientific attempts to explain why a
"modern" man --and other remains found in the same cemetary"
were of such huge size and why they exhibited characteristics similar to those
of remains science had called Neanderthal.
Some creationists have previously suggested that Neanderthal was simply a modern man suffering some type of pathology. Evolutionists have resisted such an idea.
Here, science ironically tries to explain “giant”, and or “Neanderthal like” characteristics found on an obviously “modern” man as-being due to some type of pathology. “..s8int.com

Man
of Gardar
Photo: Egil
Skallagrimson
What
manner of man was the Man of Gardar?
Was
he a surviving neanderthaloid type, thousands of years out of his time in the
middle ages? Was he a freak Eskimo, living with the dwindling colony of
Norsemen on the unfriendly coast of Greenland in the twelfth or thirteenth
century?
Or
was he a degeneration type arising from the inbreeding of a malnourished group
of white men cut off from the rest of the world?
These
questions have been roused by the recent discovery in the medieval Christian
cemetery at Gardar, southwest Greenland, of a most extraordinary skull, that
has many of the characteristics of the low-browed, heavy-jawed Neanderthal race
that inhabited mainland Europe scores of millennia ago.
The
find was made by Prof. F.C.C. Hansen of the University of Copenhagen, and is
discussed in the scientific journal Nature by Sir Arthur Keith, noted
anthropologist.
Sir
Arthur is inclined to look upon the strange skull as a result of a disorder of
growth, somewhat like the fairly common and distressing type of giantism known
as acromegaly. This disease is due to a glandular failure, and frequently
results, says Sir Arthur, in the assumption, “in a bizarre form, of all the
characteristics of the skulls of ancient fossil man—particularly Neanderthal
and Rhodesian characters.
“Homo
gardarensis must have been the subject of a particular disorder of growth—the
kind of disorder which causes giantism in man, but whereas in most giants
growth soon becomes irregular, in Homo gardarensis it remained regular.” ..July

Heidelberg Jaw.

In
his letter in NATURE of Aug. 8 on the pituitaristic character of Egil
Skallagrimson, Prof. Seligman has brought forward a remarkable subject which
made a forcible impression on myself some years ago.
His
opinion of the Gardariki skull confirms the existence of pituitary disorder
among the Viking Scandinavians, but he does not allude to the very peculiar
features which distinguish Egil's case from common clinical conditions, nor to
the interesting heredity which the sagas record.

Egil
closely resembled his father, Skallagrim, and paternal grandfather, Kveld Ulf,
in "growth, appearance, and bent of mind " (Egla S. xx., xxxi.);
while the name of the latter suggests that he recalled his maternal
grandfather, Ulf the Fearless, who was ancestor through a son, Hallbjorn,
'Half-Troll' (half-giant), to the equally remarkable family of Ketil Haeng,
culminating in Grettir the Strong, whose bones, like Egil's, were dug up in a
churchyard and admired for their astonishing size (Gretla S. lxxxiv.).
Gigantism
seems to have become endemic in the Fyrdafjord district of Sogn (Norway), where
Skallagrim was able to find a dozen near his home who were "more like giants
in growth and seeming than mortal men . . . all the strongest men and many
shape-strong ", men who, like their chief and his father, used to run,
‘berserk' in fits of uncontrollable rage followed by exhaustion (Egla S. xxv.,
xxvii.).
After
the emigration to Iceland three of these giant families, can be recognised by
the same features reappearing in their descendants: that descended from
Skallagrim, that of Giant-stead, and the descendants of Ani, among whom we may
note a grandson, Steinar, who was "of all men the biggest and mighty of
strength, an ugly man, crooked of growth, long-legged and short of body . . .
quarrelsome and headstrong" (Egla S. lxxx.).
Here
again, are signs resembling pituitary disorder, coupled with a morose,
uncertain temper. Thorir, 'Long-chin', one of the most famous berserks, and
Ofeig, 'Clumsy Foot', are other cases where characteristic pituitary features
appear in a berserk family.
Click

Egil
and his father were noted for premature greying of their black hair with
baldness at twenty-five. The father and grandfather of Grettir, in the line of
Ofeig, 'Clumsy Foot', were also prematurely grey.
The
precocity, both mental and physical of Egil and his brother may be associated
with this premature senility, and possibly indicate a correlated excess Of'
either adrenal or pineal function.
Skallagrim
had several children who died young, but there is no suggestion that they
suffered from a total premature senility, and in such case the father and Egil
the surviving son would scarcely live to the ages of 88 and 81 respectively, or
perform astonishing feats of strength on the day of death.
Grettir,
far from being precocious was distinctly backward, and seems unexpectedly
feeble in the development of genitalia (Gretla S. xiv., lxxv.): possibly in his
case pituitary disorder passed into a stage of hypofunction, but he was in full
vigour when killed at 35.
Although
mentally very alert and a clever poet like Egil and Skallagrim, Grettir like
his father, was noted for laziness, which also suggests hypofunction. On the
other hand, the Egil family were unusually brisk; but Thorbjorg the Fat, a
granddaughter of Egil, may have developed pituitary hypofunction.
Egil
had also, and Grettir was credited with a son who died at 17, after promising
to develop into something altogether extraordinary (Gretla S lxvii.)
The
tendency to berserk (hamask), so obviously resembling the running amok of
Malays, was closely interwoven with “shape-changing” or being “shape strong”
(hamrammr, vide T. R. Eddison, 1930, "Egil's Saga", notes, p. 245
ff.; and Du Chaillu, 1889; "Viking Age", ii. p. 425), The latter may
broadly be regarded as peculiar behaviour in the dusk, such as sleepiness and
surliness (Kveld ,Ulf), berserk fits (Skallagrim), mad drinking fits (Egil),
dusk prowling, supposedly in animal shape (Storolf Haengson), terror of the
dark (Grettir).
We
may imagine that evening terrors would provoke an adrenal release which might
become translated, in those with constitutional adrenal excess, into a fit of
berserk rage. Berserk fits, being involuntary, may also be compared with the
'uncinate’ epileptiform seizures of pituitary hypertrophy, and, there seems to
be a strong hysterical element, because the subject was believed to be impossible
to wound, which may mean that he was insensible to pain and did not bleed from
non-arterial traumata.
As
regards heredity, I have traced 52 male and 19 female descendants of Ulf the
Fearless in 12 generations. Seventeen of the males are recorded as peculiar in
one or more of the above ways, 6 others probably were so, but details are not
available in the sagas at my hand, and of these 4 males evidently transmitted
the heritage; 4 males transmitted without being noticed as unusual themselves.
Females
naturally have attracted less attention, but 3 of the 19 seem to have been
unusual and 8 transmitted. Skallagrim and Grettir were each the offspring of
berserk families on both sides among 14 members of the associated families, 7
seem to have been peculiar; while the two other berserk families from
Fyrdafjord referred to above include 7 peculiar among 9 individuals.
In
brief, half, of both sexes, may be believed to have had a peculiar hereditary
constitution; and the condition seems not to be sex-linked.
It
is certain that descendants of Ulf the Fearless settled in Greenland, because,
soon after its discovery, fourteen ships reached that land from Borgafjord of
Skallagrim's settling and Breidafjord the home of Grettir's mother, through
whom he derived from Ulf: it is therefore quite possible that the Gardariki
skulls include some of Ulf's descendants.
The
description of the unusually tall Grettir as “a handsome man. . . . with a face
rather broad and short, red-haired and somewhat freckled.” (Gretla S. xiv.),
places him at once as that well-known German-resembling Caledonian type which
attracted the attention of Tacitus; it also suggests the much more ancient
Cro-Magnon with dysharmonic face a conspicuously giant type.
On
the other hand, the Egil family, with its, black hair, great height, thick
skull, prognathism, precocity, and fits of rage, is curiously parallel to the
tall negroid in everything except indolence, which was certainly displayed on
the Grettir side, and pigmentation of the skin.
Hamrammr
may even be compared with the 'Leopard Society’ prowling of West Africa. This
parallel is interesting, because rock-tracings at Tanum in South Sweden
introduce us to sea raiders and settlers who were familiar with the leopard,
the camel, the ostrich, and the turtle, as pointed out by Du Chaillu (“Viking
Age” ii. p.124).
Some
are represented of immense size, many are prognathous with a suggestion, of the
acromegalic chin some have unusually long legs and short bodies like Steinar,
several are remarkably fat; often pictured fighting with vigour, they might
well represent ancestors of Egil.
Also
the Fomorians, supernatural giants, who exactly parallel the Scandinavian
Trolls in Irish tradition and played the part of vikings in their earliest
history, were explained as "sea-raiders from Africa" by the medieval
scholarship in Keating's well-known “History of Ireland”.

As a hypothesis, the tall and fair
Scandinavian, or even taller red Caledonian, raiding up and down the Atlantic
coasts in very early days, might conceivably contact with the tall negroids of
Jaloff, and thus acquire with captured women the seeds of a black-haired stock
unbalanced in many ways and marked by excessive height, such, as that producing
Egil Skallagrimson. MICHAEL PERKINS, Little Cloisters, Westminster Abbey,

A
Different Opinion on Acromegaly Related to Gardar Skull
As
one sees on these two radiographs of acromegalic patients, the deformations
relate to the facial part of the head, and nothing justifies that this disease
can cause the shape of the occipital part of the skull of Gardar.
Quite to the contrary, the assumption which seems to impose itself here, and
that most reject because of the recent character of these remains, and their
localization, is that it appears to be those of Homo erectus bones."

A Personal Testimony

I visited the area of the river bank and observed for myself the large and clear left-right trails of dinosaur prints . Many are 6-
During a long conversation that afternoon at the museum, I learned that human tracks had been uncovered in this area since at least 1910. Geologist Clifford Burdick, Ph.D., verified human tracks here in the 1940's. The work of the individuals connected now with the museum began about 1982. Since then, 57 footprints of man have been found in excavations along the
During our visit, I was shown casts of some of the footprints found previously. One section of rock is displayed which was cut out of the river bed because it contains one of the clearest footprints found to date. A cross-sectioning of one of the best finds is also displayed. Pressure laminations consistent with a human footprint in mud are clearly shown.
| Several
well-credentialed scientists had witnessed and testified to the genuineness
of the discoveries. Media from around the country had witnessed at least some
of them. Evolutionists, however, dismissed the human footprints as carvings
of Indians, the tracks of a sick dolphin, a case of misidentification, or
even an outright fraud. One gentleman was so threatened by the discoveries
that he actually took a hammer, went to the river, and broke up some of the
footprints to make them useless for study. |
Some
of the human footprints have been found right next to those of a dinosaur. One
was even found inside the animal track! The relatively soft limestone rock is
subject to rapid weathering from exposure. The human tracks are shallow and
look like a footprint made in mud or wet cement. Because of this the details of
the human prints are lost within days of the time of exposure.
I knew that the human footprints, found side by side with dinosaur tracks, if genuine, destroyed the theory of evolution all by themselves. Still, I wanted to see for myself. See agoracosmopolitan.com
Along with two of my friends, Ted and Jorge Gomez, I went to Glen Rose to observe and participate in an excavation onJune 19, 1995 . We helped to
remove the exposed rock ledge at the work site. This ledge covered the
limestone layer in which the tracks had been previously discovered at other
sites along the river. Each portion of the ledge we removed (approximately 50
sf.) weighed at least 2000
pounds . The removal of each piece took several men with
sledge hammers and three heavy duty jacks hours of heavy work to accomplish. No
Indian had ever lifted and then replaced this covering rock to carve anything!
A dinosaur track, but no human track, was discovered on our first day.
Jorge and I returned to work on another site on June 29, 1995. This site was about150 feet
down river from our earlier location. Both sites were chosen because previous
findings indicated a trail of footprints might extend to them. Dr. Carl Baugh
(Ph.D. Anthropology, M. Archeology), was in charge of the excavation. Several
of the people there had been working for the entire two week period.
When we arrived Dr. Baugh was beginning to carefully excavate clay from a depression in the target limestone. Several of us worked with hand trowels to remove the 3-4 inches
of clay which overlay the fossil layer. This clay had been uncovered when the
exposed covering rock had been removed the previous day. It was quite obvious
that the clay layer had never been disturbed since its deposition. I worked
within 3 feet
of Dr. Baugh.
Once he suspected that the depression on which he was working could possibly be a human track, all other activity in the area ceased. Everyone then focused their attention on his work. Dr. Baugh removed the clay with utmost care and no chipping or sculpting occurred. Several of those in attendance testified to this on camera and that the site was previously unexposed or disturbed in any way. The rock ledge and clay had completely covered the depression until we removed them.
The depression in the limestone was clearly made by a large human foot. It was a right foot. The big toe and three rightmost toes made very clear impressions and rock ridges were found between the toe marks. The second toe made a lesser impression which is consistent with the way humans walk. There was a rock bump in front of each of the toes made when they pushed up the mud. The shape fit the arch and also the right side of a foot. The heel was not clear but looked as if the individual had slid in the mud. The depth of the impressions was consistent with the depth of tracks made by someone walking in mud. The toes were round and smooth. Everything was in the proper proportion.
Since I had the largest foot in attendance, size 13, my bare foot was used as a comparison for the extensive video tapes and photographs that documented the excavation. As my foot was both beside the footprint and in it for quite a while, I was able to examine it very closely.
Without any doubt, it was a human footprint.
I testify that everything I witnessed I have reported faithfully and without exaggeration.

The Original Sin 1/3
The Original Sin 2/3
The Original Sin 3/3
But the Woman being deceived, was in the Transgression
The seed of the serpent produced Cain. If his daddy was a great big giant of a fellow, what would Cain be like? His daddy. And he went to the land of Nod and took one of his sisters. Only way he could, there were no other females. . .
Cain went to the land of Nod, and produced giants. They were smart educated, intelligent people. Is that right? They were builders, inventors, scientists: Not through the seed of the righteous, but through the seed of the serpent. They were scientists, builders, and great men, educators; the Scripture says so. They worked brass; they worked iron; they worked metals. They invented things. They tempered different metals and built houses.
And they were scoffers at the seed of the woman: Noah, the righteous. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be when the Son of man is revealed." That's today. And it is so. Genesis 6:1-4, "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare them children who became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
". . . daughters of man . . ." signifies the MORTALITY of the serpent seed in contrast to the immortality of the sons of God. Their EARTHLY origin is contrasted with the heavenly origin of the "Sons of God," created in the likeness of Father God by His spoken Word. The "daughters of man" are Cain's race, the earthly, carnal offspring of the Satan-incarnate Serpent, they are hybrid and not a spoken Word of God's creation.
The phrase, "came in unto" refers in this connection only to the male who visits a woman's quaters and describes the immorality of "free love" which has repeated in this day along with miscegenation between the descendants of Cain and the children of Adam as Jesus foretold and lauded as "multiculturalism" (Genesis 30:16; 38:16; Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:26-27).
"Men of renown" speaks of men with an enduring name. Genesis describes these people as great builders and engineers, musicians, inventers, craftsmen, unbelievers and scoffers at the righteous of Adam's race. The same race are renouned in these occupations today. Undaunted by the Flood their descendants declare " . . .let us make us a name . . ." and erect a tower in carnal defiance of the Lord God.
The Hebrew word "Nephilim" is rendered "giants" in our English Bibles, but the form of the word indicates a verbal adjective or noun of passive or neuter signification, from Naphal, "to fall" and means "the fallen ones," that is, the descendents of Cain. Afterwards the term is transferred to their offspring, the only other passage in which it occurs.
In their evil report of the
It was doubtless the mention of the great stature of these men, together with the Septuagint rendering that suggested our translation "giants." However the roots of the Greek word, have no reference to great stature and signify "earth-born". The meaning of "giants" in our sense of the term is secondary, arising from the fact that these beings of mixed birth are said to have displayed a monstrous growth and strength of body.
God commanded Moses to exterminate the whole race of these people from the
The Lord Jesus said, ". . . the children of this world are in their lineage wiser than the children of Light" (Luke 16:8).
Paul wrote, "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience" (Colossians 3:5-6).
Immediately after the commission of the antediluvian sin, God pronounced the doom of the world. And prophecy assures us the present-day great rebellion will call forth the Lord Jesus in flaming Fire to take vengeance. Only those whose Names are written on the Lamb's Book of Life will not be deceived—the Bride of Christ manifesting the sons of God, and the 144,000 elect Israelites who are Israelites of the flesh and of the faith.
