Giants' Skeletons Found in Mexico


Giants' Skeletons Found

Cave in Mexico Gives Up the Bones of an Ancient Race

Special to the New York Times

Boston, May 3. -- Charles C. Clapp, who has recently returned from Mexico, where he has been in charge of Thomas W. Lawson's mining interestes, has called the attention of Prof. Agassiz to a remarkable discovery made by him.

He found in Mexico a cave containing some 200 skeletons of men each above eight feet in height. The cave was evidently the burial place of a race of giants who antedated the Aztecs. Mr. Clapp arranged the bones of one of these skeletons and found the total length to be 8 feet 11 inches. The femur reached up to his thigh, and the molars were big enough to crack a cocoanut. The head measured eighteen inches from front to back.

  2. My grandmother who was born in Massachusetts and lived in Connecticut where I was born told me as a child of the stories of giants, as an ancient race of Indians in North America.

    Sadly I never found out from her where she learned this but it was probably from news accounts she was very intelligent and well-read.

    I am struck by the existence of a seeming conspiracy to suppress repress and deny this extensive evidence of hudden history of humanity.

    Why?
