Giant Encounters in the Old Americas

Thanks again to June’s Journey for sponsoring our giant investigation! Go to urlis.net/dfamvzhz to download and play for free! 🕵 PS: At 0:32, I messed up and said 1940 instead of 1540. And now I have the image stuck in my head of De Soto and his men walking around for 400 years. They must have passed through the Bermuda Triangle on their way to Florida... :_mrmythos

I am Mexican and I just made a visit to Oaxaca, I visited Monte Alban, a city built by giant survivors of the flood high in the mountains. The steps are not proportional to a human body. Thank you for sharing this information, I send you my best regards.

While we wait... I need help a bit of help brainstorming for my next video. Please suggest me some good occult mysteries related to art or technology! 😁

For a moment, my sister and I were speculating about giants and pyramids in ancient civilizations. I'm glad for the chance to share this wealth of info with her.

One of my best friends in middle school and high school was native American and he was 7ft tall in 6th grade. He wasn't just tall, he was massive.

I live in North Alabama right next to the Tennessee river and we have giant mounds everywhere. People used to dig around in them and several "giant" artifacts have been discovered, but now if you are caught digging, you get put under the jail.

sequel please! there were also tales of giants in the Northern Americas as well, Alaska, Canada, etc... in many cases, they were linked with people disappearing & cryptids. wild stuff!

As a retired history teacher on this topic, I find your work historically accurate and compelling. I enjoyed this piece tremendously and look forth to watching all your works in the near future. I would love to see sequels on this subject and would hope to see some more information on the Aztec journey from possibly the southwestern US TO MEXICO. I found the linking up to the local giants of particular interest as I had always wondered who allied with the Aztecs during their conquest wars with local native inhabitants in Mexico. Thank you for this well produced documentary.

My great grandfather found a skeleton of a giant in a clay quarry at a brickyard in Hamburg Iowa. It was almost 9 feet tall.

So interesting how the Aztecs just happened to have both a flood myth and a myth that sounds an awful lot like the tower of Babel. And the Kinametzin sound an awful lot like the Nephilim, who tried to fight god or in this case the gods.

Having lived in Mexico for 3 years as a kid, I can tell you that it is a very different place. Mythology is never far from every day life and if you leave the big cities a great deal seems possible.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YES! PLEASE DO a sequal episode!!! (or two!?) This topic seriously deserves a lot more coverage than it ever gets! This was so well researched and as always such high quality! Thank you so much!

Sequel? Yes, please! I've always been fascinated by the giant myths. "Very tall" runs in my family on both sides. My 3x grandfather was 7'2 and that was during the Civil War. My uncle required a 7' casket when he passed. Many more.

Wow, I'm blown away by this. My great aunt Luisa used to talk a lot of crazy stuff when she was alive. We just thought that she was nuts. She was ancient and died at 122. I was a little kid, 7 or 8 when I heard her telling my sisters about the big people, and she had a pair of sandals that were about 2 feet from toe to heel that we had hanging in the pool cabana as decoration, I never thought that they might be real. Luisa had said that they had belonged to an old friend, nothing else that I know of. My family is decended from old Spain, settled in the Barriessa area of California. Now, I'm so whitewashed that I can barely order dinner in Spanish. But I'm for sure gonna go thru my sister's basement and look at those sandals and a bunch of family history that I never had any interest in until now.

Great narrative. Giants 101, by a brilliant professor. Learned a lot. Thank you, Prof. Mythos!

I've been fascinated by this subject for years now. There's newspaper articles from years ago that claim certain Archeology sites in N. America found the bones of giant Humans all the way back to the early 1900's. Giant skeletons were found in the in Lovelock Cave Nevada, there's even pictures of these bodies. One of my favorite myths though is the "supposed" cavern that was found in the Grand Canyon, but that's most likely a hoax. The really interesting thing about giants in the Americas though, is that there are tales from almost every single tribe from South America, all the way up into the Northwestern Territories that talk about giants. Nahanni National Preserve is a very isolated and dangerous place that's been surrounded with mystery and strange deaths/disappearances for well over a Century now as well. The amount of unexplored cave systems and isolated areas in that part of the world are very interesting to me. I'd love to explore that region someday, but I also don't want to lose my head in the process.

I’m from N W Alabama. My ggg grandfather was Daniel White. One of the first settlers here. He bought a tavern and rent rooms from CHEIF DOUBLEHEAD. they say he was almost 7 foot and old writings and records claim he had a double row of teeth and 6 fingers and toes. I read this years ago before people started talking about giants. I’m sure he was a descendent. He was also a cannibal. Early 1800s maybe mid.

The way I heard it 30 years or so ago in Louisiana history, was that DeSoto was badly injured in combat with the natives and he was dragged on a makeshift stretcher until he succumbed to his injuries. The natives followed close behind the conquistadors hoping to get hold of DeSoto's body.This was the reason why his body was placed inside a hollow log and dropped into a river. I think this explains why he wouldn't have been given a proper burial.As far as I know his body has never been found

This was one of the best YouTube videos I’ve watched in a long time. I’m fascinated by everything relating to our ancient past, including the tales of giants. I’ve came across enough evidence my self to have a strong belief that they did exist, and I’ve done my fair share of research, however this video was very informative and interesting and taught me a lot that I wasn’t even remotely aware of. Great job sir, I subscribed, liked the video and if I could do more I most def would. And I would LOVE A SEQUEL!!

This has become one of my new favorite channels. Your research and storytelling are exceptional. I wish you great success
