Giants of Ohio
38 pound copper ax was found in one of the Hopewell mounds of Ohio.
Estimates of the number of moundworks in Ohio alone—at the end of the Colonial period—topped ten thousand. Today, less than one-twentieth of these exist
in reconstructed form. ,
There were mounds situated in the eastern part of the village of Conneaut and an extensive burying-ground near the Presbyterian church, which appear to
have had no connection with the burying-places of the Indians. Among the human bones found in the mounds were some belonging to men of gigantic structure.
Some of the skulls were of sufficient capacity to admit the head of an ordinary man, and jaw bones that might have been fitted on over the face with equal
facility; the other bones were proportionately large. The burying-ground referred to contained about four acres, and with the exception of a slight angle in
conformity with the natural contour of the ground was in the form of an oblong square. It appeared to have been accurately surveyed into lots running from
north to south, and exhibited all the order and propriety of arrangement deemed necessary to constitute Christian burial...
Historical Collections of Ohio in Two Volumes
by Henry Howe, LL.D. (1888)
The first record of giants in Ohio can be traced back to 1829. A near by mound was being used to furnish the material to build a hotel in Chesterville. As they
dug into the mounds, the workers dug up a large human skeleton. The local physician examining the skeleton said that the skull could have easily fit over a
normal man's head with no difficulty. Another pecularity of the skeleton was the additonal teeth it had compared to modern man.
In the Ohio River Valley, Indian Mounds abound. In 1872,Seneca Township, Noble County, Ohio, in what is now called 'Bates' Mound three skeletons wre found.
All three skeletons unearthed were at the very least eight feet tall in heighth with bone structure proportional to their height. Another amazing discovery about
these skeletons is that they all had double rows of teeth.
Later, in 1878, another discovery in the county of Ashtabula County, Ohio. Mounds were excavated on land belonging to Peleg Sweet, a man of large features.
In the first mound, theyt unearthed a skull and jaw which were of such size that the skull would cover Sweet's head and the jaw could be easily slipped over his
face. Excavating further, they discovered these mounds contained the graves estimated between two and three thousand. Many of the skeletons found were of
gigantic proportions.
According to Indian Legend there were two different races of strange humans that pre-existed their culture. One was the Archaic people who had slender
bodies with long narrow heads.. The other group was the Adena people who had a massive bone structure with a short head. The Archaics were living in the
Ohio River Valley prior to the Adenas. In what is assumed to be around 1000 BC, the Adenas moved into the area , coming up from the South, to claim dominion
over the land. After a great war, the Archaics were destroyed by this more advanced and powerful race. From the Adenas the art of mound building was
established .
David Cusic, a Tuscorora by birth, wrote in 1825 that among the legends of the ancient people there was a powerful tribe called Ronnongwetowanca. They were
giants, and had a "considerable habitation." He states that when the Great Spirit made the people, some of them became giants. They made themselves feared
by attacking when most unexpected. After having endured the outrages of these giants for a great long time, the people banded together to destroy them. With
a final force of about 800 warriors, they successfully annihilated the abhorrent Ronnongwetowanca. There were no giants anywhere after this, it was said. This
was supposed to have happened around 2,500 winters before Columbus arrived in America, i.e. circa 1,000 B.C.-the time that the Adena seem to have arrived
in the Ohio Valley.
Modern day archaeology and anthropology have literallly sealed the doors to the true history of our ancestors. Archeological discoveries have become a one
way door. What was discovered went to the Smithsonian Institute and others like it where the contents have been virtually sealed off to all but the elite few. But
by digging through the archives of old newspapers, remaining documents, diaries and Indian legends we can form some idea as to what laid in our past.
The Scientific American, in 1883, published the following account:
Two miles from Mandan, on the bluffs near the junction of the Hart and Missouri Rivers, says the local newspaper, the Pioneer, is an old Cemetery of fully 100
acres in extent filled with bones of a giant race. This vast city of the dead lies just east of the Fort Lincoln road. The ground has the appearance of having been
filled with trenches piled full of dead bodies, both man and beast, and covered with several feet of earth. In many places mounds from 8 to 10 feet high, and
some of them 100 feet or more in length, have been thrown up and are filled with bones, broken pottery, vases of various bright colored flint, and agates ...
showing the work of a people skilled in the arts and possessed of a high state of civilization. This has evidently been a grand battlefield, where thousands of
men ... have fallen. ...Five miles above Mandan, on the opposite side of the Missouri, is another vast cemetery, as yet unexplored. We asked an aged Indian
what his people knew of these ancient grave yards. He answered: "Me know nothing about them. They were here before the red man."
From the Ironton Register, a small Ohio River town newspaper, dated 5 May 1892,:
Where Proctorville now stands was one day part of a well paved city, but I think the greatest part of it is now in the Ohio river. Only a few mounds, there; one of
which was near the C. Wilgus mansion and contained a skeleton of a very large person, all double teeth, and sound, in a jaw bone that would go over the jaw
with the flesh on, of a large man; The common burying ground was well filled with skeletons at a depth of about 6 feet. Part of the pavement was of boulder
stone and part of well preserved brick.
-----------------------------------------------------
Evidence for the occupation of this region before the appearance of the red man and the white race is to be found in almost every part of the county, as well as
through the northwest generally. In removing the gravel bluffs, which are numerous and deep, for the construction and repair of roads, and in excavating cellars,
hundreds of human skeletons, some of them of giant form, have been found. A citizen of Marion County estimates that there were about as many human
skeletons in the knolls of Marion County as there are white inhabitants at present!

Mastodonic remains are occasionally unearthed, and, from time to time, discoveries of the remains of Indian settlements are indicated by the appearance of
gigantic skeletons, with the high cheek bones, powerful jaws and massive frames peculiar of the red man, who left these as the only record with which to form a
clew to the history of past ages.

She said also that three skeletons were found at the mouth of the Paw Paw Creek many years later, while Nim (Nimrod) Satterfield was justice of the peace. Jim
Dean and some men were digging for a bridge foundation and found these bones at the lower end of the old buffalo wallow. She thought it was Dr. Kidwell, of
Fairmont, who examined them and said they were very old, perhaps thousands of years old. She said that when the skeletons were exposed to the weather for a
few days, their bones turned black and began to crumble, that Squire Satterfield had them buried in the Joliffe graveyard (Rivesville). All these skeletons, she
said, were measured, and found to be about eight feet long.

Collected Accounts of James Mooney (1861-1921), tells of the visit of very tall people from the west:
James Wafford, of the western Cherokee, who was born in Georgia in 1806, says that his grandmother, who must have been born about the middle of the last
century, told him that she had heard from the old people that long before her time a party of giants had once come to visit the Cherokee. They were nearly twice
as tall as common men, and had their eyes set slanting in their heads, so that the Cherokee called them Tsunil´ kalu´, "the Slant-eyed people," because they
looked like the giant hunter Tsul´ kalu´. They said that these giants lived far away in the direction in which the sun goes down. The Cherokee received them
as friends, and they stayed some time, and then returned to their home in the west...

A document dated March 3 1880 records an excavation in Brush Creek Township, Muskingurn County. A site was excavated on the farm of J.M. Baughman. In
this particular muond was discovered the bones of men and women, buried in couples . The length of their skeletons exceeding eight and even nine feet! The
excavation was started in early December 1870.
What is most interesting and IMPORTANT here is the discovery of a large stone tablet inscribed with an ancient eastern form of writing. These are what is now
refered to as the Brush Creek Tablets. *See Morman Tablets
Modern anthropologists have put forward the theory that once the giants existed in great number, and were the dominant race prior to the advent of modem and
smaller races of men and women. Being warlike, they diminished their number in great wars (as the thousands of mound burials in the Ohio River Valley attest),
and were eventually subjugated by the smaller, but more numerous races. Although the giants of yesteryears may have been destroyed, the genes still rise in
modern man ie. children born with 6 toes or fingers, double rows of teeth and giant sizes such as shown in the picture at the top of the page.

We can find another example of the existence of giant 'bearded' men, through the tradition of the Chippewa, Sandusky, and Tawa tribes.,
"In this connection I would say that Mr. Jonathan Brooks, now living in town, stated to me, that his father, Benjamin Brooks, who lived with the Indians fourteen
years, and was well-acquainted with their language and traditions, told him and others that it was a tradition of the Indians that the first tribe occupying this whole
country, was a black-bearded race, very large in size, and subsequently a red bearded race or tribe came and killed or drove off all the black beards, as they
called them."
The Firelands Pioneer (1858)
A mound near Toledo, Ohio, held 20 skeletons, seated and facing east with jaws and teeth "twice as large as those of present day people," and besides each
was a large bowl with "curiously wrought hieroglyphic figures."
(Chicago Record, Oct. 24, 1895; cited by Ron G. Dobbins, NEARA Journal, v13, fall 1978)

In 1826, a well dug near the Ohio river in north Cincinnati failed to produce water, but did produce the unexpected. From a level 94 feet down, a buried tree
stump was brought to the surface which showed the marks of an ax. The marks were deep and well-cut, indicating the use of a sharp and durable blade.The
suspicion that the ax had been made of metal was confirmed when, embedded in the top of the stump, an advanced oxidized wedge of iron was found. The layer
from which the stump came was estimated to be between 50,000 and 75,000 years old - nearly 10 times the accepted age of the supposed first metal usage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Los Angeles News of December 17, 1869 printed an account supplied to the paper by a correspondent of the Cleveland Herald, writing from Wellsville,
Ohio. The account described how in the autumn of the year, at a coal mine operated by a Captain Lacey of Hammondville, a miner named James Parsons was
loosening a large mass at a depth of 100 feet, when he suddenly exposed a smooth slate wall covered with strange alphabetic writing. The letters were raised
and well defined. The coal that had covered the wall bore their distinct impression - which means the letters date to a time when the coal was in a vegetable
state, and had molded itself against the wall. Each sign was three-quarters of an inch in size, and arranged in rows precisely spaced 3 inches apart. The first
line of letters contained 25. Local teachers and ministers examined the find, but could offer no explanations. Unfortunately, just before a number of university
professors arrived to verify the discovery, the slate surface disintegrated from exposure to air, and the script was lost. Nevertheless, the find was well-
documented, and attested
to by several reliable witnesses. But the most disturbing fact about the mysterious slate wall and its glyphs was their undeniable presence in coal - coal from the
Carboniferous era, well over 200 million years old.
GIANTS OF OKLAHOMA
In 1912, two employees of the Municipal Electric Plant of Thomas, Oklahoma, were shoveling coal into the plant furnaces, using fuel which had been mined near
neighboring Wilberton. One chunk of coal was too large to handle, so the
workmen took a sledge hammer to it. Once it broke open, however, the workmen found that the chunk contained an iron pot, and upon its removal, the two coal
halves bore the "mold" of the pot in its interiors. Both employees signed affidavits testifying to the authenticity of the discovery, and the iron pot was
subsequently examined by several experts - every one of which was most reluctant to comment on the pot, and the circumstances surrounding its discovery.
This was most understandable,
since the object came from coal dated from 300 to 325 million years
On June 27,1969, workmen cutting into a rock shelf situated on the Broadway Extension of 122nd Street, between Edmond and Oklahoma City, came upon a
find that was to create much controversy among the experts. The find was an inlaid tile floor, found 3 feet below the surface, and covering several thousand
square feet. Durwood Pate, an Oklahoma City geologist, commented on the floor in the Edmond Booster of July 3, 1969: "I am sure this was man-made because
the stones are placed in perfect sets of parallel lines which intersect to form a diamond shape, all pointing to the east. We found post holes which measure a
perfect two rods from the other two. The top of the stone is very smooth, and if you lift one of them, you will find it is very jagged, which indicates wear on the
surface. Everything is too well placed to be a natural formation."
Pate also discovered a form of mortar between the tiles. He believes now that the tile surface served as a common floor for several human shelters over a wide
area. Delbert Smith, a geologist and president of the Oklahoma Seismograph Company, summed up the mystery concerning the tile floor in the Tulsa World of
June 29, 1969: "There is no question about it. It had been laid there, but I have no idea by whom." Yet another facet of the mystery involved the question of age.
There are some differing
opinions as to the geology involved, but the best estimate places the tiles at 200,000 years old.
GIANTS OF TENNESSEE
In the early spring of 1891, a farmer named J.H. Hooper was examining a wooded ridge on his property, located in Bradley
County, 13 miles from Cleveland, Tennessee. A peculiar stone caught his attention, which he first took to be a grave marker. But digging around it, he soon
discovered that the stone was only a surface projection of a subterranean structure that extended into the depths below. Hopper spent the next several weeks in
an attempt to uncover his unusual find: A length of wall, traced for a thousand feet, on the average 2 feet thick and 8 feet high, with numerous projections - like
the first one - spaced along the top every 25 to 30 feet. The wall ran roughly at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees east. The structure continues on beyond the
section exposed, in both directions, following the crest of a ridge that extends from the Hiawassee river north of Chattanooga southward, where it dips beneath
the Tennessee river. Its position dates it geologically to near the beginning of the Quaternary - well over a million years old. The wall is composed of red
sandstone blocks constructed in three courses, cemented together with a dark red clay mixed with salt, and in numerous places is plastered over with red, slate
and yellow clays. Along one stretch of wall, near the northern end a distance of 16 feet, Hooper made without a doubt the most important discovery: Hidden
beneath the outer clay plasterings, a number of the sandstone block surfaces were covered with the hieroglyphs of a lost language. The letters were arranged
in wavy, parallel and diagonal lines, interspersed with small pictures of strange animals, many unidentifiable. there were other symbols too, of the sun and
crescent moon, which appear to have some astronomical significance. All together, 872 individual characters were made out, many repeated - suggesting the
script is a form of pictographic writing, like Chinese. Despite the implications of the wall, and the challenge of the discovery of an unknown writing, the find was
met by the scientific community with overwhelming apathy. A short notice on the Tennessee
mystery wall appeared in the Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences (11:26-29), written by A.L. Rawson, who examined the structure and script first-
hand, as well as published copies he had made of some of the glyphs and pictures. But that was all; no further study was ever made.
GIANTS OF UTAH
A week later, Ottinger returned to the plateau with Dr. J.P. Marwitt, professor of anthropology at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, several photographers,
a news reporter, and a number of observers. With cameras recording the event, Dr. Marwitt carefully removed the lower halves of two human skeletons. The
bones were articulated - that is, laid out naturally - showing the bodies had not fallen or been washed into the stratum in which they were situated. These and
other factors revealed
the bones to be as old as the layer in which they were found. The one problem was, the layer is Lower Dakota and Upper Morrison formations -over 100 million
years of age, according to uniformitarian geologists. Yet, as Marwitt noted, the bones were not simian or even half-ape: They were fully human and modern-
looking. The skeletons were taken by Marwitt back with him to the University of Utah, to run laboratory er run, there was no official confirmation. One gets the
impression they were, and that the findings were too disturbing for conservative thinking. Marwitt suddenly became "disinterested" in the project, and left Utah to
take up a teaching position elsewhere. After a year waiting for results, Ottinger recovered the bones - and that ended the scientific inquiry.

Ancient European Skeleton Recovered In West Virginia Cave
Cave Skeleton is European, 1,300 Years Old, Man Says
Sept. 29, 2002
MORGANTOWN - The man who first advanced the theory that markings carved on in a Wyoming County cave are actually characters from an ancient Irish
alphabet has found human remains at the site, which tests indicate are European in origin and date back to A.D. 710, he maintains.
Robert Pyle of Morgantown says that a DNA analysis of material from the skeleton's teeth roots was conducted by Brigham Young University. That analysis, he
says, shows that the skeleton's DNA, when compared to samples from Native American groups and an array of European sources, most closely matches
samples from the British Isles.
Pyle says the DNA test, plus a radiocarbon test that dates the skeleton to 710, suggest the presence of a European visitor to the North American continent
nearly 800 years before the arrival of Columbus, and nearly 300 years before Viking Leif Erickson
The American Anthropologist, volume IX (1896), page 66, describes the finding of a perfect human imprint in stone about 4 miles north of Parkersburg, on the
West Virginia side of the Ohio river. The track was 14 1/2 inches long, and was found embedded in a large stone. Though few specifics were given, one expert
has calculated from the type of rock depicted, and its position on the river's edge, that the track must be at least 150 million years old, according to modern
geologic dating..

Cambridge - Double Set of Teeth
The eleventh skeleton that has been dug up in this neighborhood in the last few years was discovered by A.E.Morton while he was escavating
for his home on Lake Ripley. The skeleton was entire and had “the double set of teeth in the lower jaw”. It measured six feet three inches from
head to the base of the foot.
Eau Claire Leader, November 27, 1907
NEENAH, WISCONSIN
"Oh, Wisconsin. beneath your feet is an ocean of bones...."
"They (railroad crews) knocked the top off of the small hill called Butte Des Morts. It was full of skeletons. Tracks were laid across the cut and The combined
bones and rock became the track bed." - a diary description of the 19th century decapitation of a section of "the hill of the dead"(Butte Des Morts) on the shore
of Little Lake Butte Des Morts in Neenah.
The hill is reputed to hold the piled up corpses of Fox Indians killed during a battle against the French and their Indian Allies in the Fox/French Wars. More
likely, the hill had been part of a long standing burial ground and contained the bones of the ancient mound builders. Mounds are everywhere, their remains
may be beneath your feet right as you read this. In the mid to late 19th century countless mounds were plowed over by farmers. Road crews crushed bones into
aggregate for road and railroad beds. It's safe to say that all of Wisconsin's primary roads contain shattered bits of the bones of the ancient dead
A stone ax was discovered, twenty-eight inches long, fourteen inches wide, eleven inches thick, and weighing three hundred pounds. Makes
you want to re-think the Paul Bunyan stories doesn't it!

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, WISCONSIN
Excerpt from 1823 manuscript prepared by Stephen H. Long, Major USTE by order of the Hon. J.C. Calhoun, Secretary of War.
There are at present but few Indians in the immediate vicinity of the fort, and none can give an account of the works which are so abundantly scattered over the
country. They say that the only means by which they can account for them is to suppose that the country was probably inhabited, at a period anterior to the
most remote traditions, by a race of white men, similar to those of European origin,and that they were cut off by their forefathers. This supposition is grounded
upon the circumstance of their having found human bones buried in the earth at a much greater depth than that, at which they are accustomed to inter their
dead; and in graves which differ from theirs, inasmuch as they are unaccompanied by instruments of any kind, whereas they never omit depositing the arms, &c.
with the corpse of the deceased. It is also said that tomahawks of brass (?) and other implements differing from those in common use among the present
Indians, have likewise been found under the surface of the ground.. The fortifications appear to them likewise to be a proof of the correctness of their opinion,
as none of the Indians are in the habit of constructing works of a similar character, and as indeed they are unacquainted with the utility of them.
"Mr. Brisbois, who has been for a long time a resident of Prairie du Chien, informed me that he saw the skeletons of eight persons, that were found, in digging a
cellar near his house, lying side by side. They were of a gigantic size, measuring about eight feet from head to foot. He added that he took a leg bone of one of
them and placed it by the side of his own leg, in order compare the length of the two; the bone of the skeleton extended six inches above his knee. None of
these bones could be preserved as they crumbled to dust soon after they were exposed to the atmosphere."*
[Note : * Major Long's MS. No. 2, folio 25.]
We saw a number of Indian graves on the prairie, but as they were modern they offered nothing peculiar. They resemble the graves of white men, but the sod
over them is covered with boards or bark, secured to stakes driven into the ground, so as to form a sort of roof over the grave; at the head, poles were erected
for the purpose of supporting flags; a few tatters of one of these still waved over the grave. An upright post was also fixed near the head, and upon this the
deeds of the deceased, whether in the way of hunting or fighting, were inscribed with red or black paint. The graves were placed upon mounds in the prairie,
this situation having doubtless been selected as being the highest and least likely to be overflowed.
From a series of observations, taken at this place, it results that Fort Crawford is situated in latitude 43° 3' 31' north, and longitude 90° 52' 30' west. The
magnetic variation amounts here to 8° 48' 52' east.
Scientists are remaining stubbornly silent about a lost race of giants found in burial mounds near Lake Delavan, Wisconsin, in May 1912.
HENSCHELL WISCONSIN "...there are more burial and effigy mounds in Wisconsin than any other part of North America."
1877. "A plow horse accidentally broke through the top of an ancient mound at Henschell in Sheboygan County. When the farmer and his neighbors
investigated, they found fifty skeletons in sitting in a circle facing the center of the mound. A large marine shell from the Gulf Coast was on the floor in the middle
of the group...."
The rivers were highways. The trade route from what is now the gulf side of Mexico to Wisconsin was a relatively routine thing. Sea shells from the Yucatan are
a fairly common find in the soil of the Badger state. Always keep an eye out, the ground beneath your feet is alive with the stories of those who came before you.
LAKE DELAVAN WISCONSIN The dig site at Lake Delavan was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds.
.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 features. Their heights ranged between 7.6ft and 10 feet and their skulls…“presumably those of men, are much larger than the heads
of any race which inhabit America to-day.”
They tend to have a double row of teeth, 6 fingers, 6 toes and like humans came in different races. The teeth in the front of the jaw are regular molars. Heads
usually found are elongated.
MAPLE CREEK WISCONSIN 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 .On December 20th, New York Times reported that three large burial mounds had been discovered near Maple Upon excavation, a skeleton
measuring over nine feet from head to toe was discovered with finely tempered copper rods and other relics.
Giant Skeleton in West Bend, WI
LAKE DELEVAN Walworth County Wisconsin
A discovery on the shores of Delavan Lake in Walworth County made various newspapers, including the New York Times. Two brothers, ernest and Chester
Phillips, had purchased the lakefront property known as Lake Lawn and were curious about the great number of mounds located on their farm. They found
conical mounds, which often contained burials, and various effigy mounds, constructed in the shape of strange animals and abstract formations.
The Lake Lawn farm is now a resort and golf course, located just west of Delavan on Highway 50. All together, there were over one hundred mounds on the
property, but less than a fourth remains.
The restaurant is constructed directly over what used to be a very large mound, and many of its past and current workers whisper that it is haunted. ref: Linda
Godfrey – Weird Wisconsin
LAKE MILLS WISCONSIN . SEE MY WORK ON LAKE MILLS AND AZTALAN 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.
Giant skulls and skeletons of a race of giants 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, as well as other states in North America and their burial sites are similar to the well-known
mounds of the Mound Builder people of Wisconsin
POTOSI WISCONSIN The January 13th, 1870 edition of the Wisconsin Decatur Republican reported that two giant, well-preserved skeletons of an unknown
race were discovered near Potosi, WI by workers digging the foundation of a saw mill near the bank of the Mississippi river.
One skeleton measured seven-and-a-half feet, the other eight feet. The skulls of each had prominent cheek bones and double rows of teeth. A large collection
of arrowheads and “strange toys” were found buried with the remains.
WEST BEND WISCONSIN
A giant skeleton was unearthed outside of West Bend near Lizard Mound County Park and assembled by local farmers to a height of eight feet.
VOREE WISCONSIN North of Burlington is the Mormon Strangite Community originally founded and ruled over by Prophet James Strang. It was his claim that
Brass Plates were found in the woods outside of Voree. They were found next to a giant buried under a large tree. According to the plates, this giant was RAJA
MANCHORE OF VORITO a priest and ruler of a mining community. The burial plates show him as being over the stars, yet under the ‘All Seeing Eye of Ra’.
His title was of a Raja and hair cut is known as a ‘roach’ ….indicating that he was most likely of the eastern culture of Brahmins or of Egyptian/Hebrew descent.
WISCONSIN RAPIDS - Wisconsin was a major center of ancient religion. It saw man's earliest attempts at metal making and, according to the following article,
was the home of ancient astronomers.
”Prof. James Scherz claims to have discovered an ancient Indian calendar site in a marshy region near Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Scherz was led to the site
by aerial photographs taken during a wetlands mapping program. Strange "islands" of higher land seen within the bog were found, upon terrestrial inspection, to
be unusually steep, possibly artificial. Some were round, some four-sided; others were shaped like a fish, a rabbit, and a snake. [Wisconsin has countless
similar "effigy mounds" elsewhere.] Causeways connect some of these so-called islands.
The most interesting features of the islands, however, are prominent rocks and rock cairns. Scherz and an assistant mapped the islands, cairns, and rocks to
determine if any astronomical alignments existed. Sure enough, the solstices and equinoxes were predictable from some of the alignments. Another alignment
provided the site's latitude. The exploration of this site is incomplete, and further information is expected. Quite possibly, the site is associated with the famous
prehistoric copper mining activities which were centered in Wisconsin roughly 3,000 to 7,000 years ago.” (Murn, Thomas J.; "Portage County Cairns:
Wisconsin's Rockhenge," NEARA Journal, 18:50, 1984.)
Pictographs found in southwestern Wisconsin Caves – Near Mississippi River
Daniel Arnold, an amateur archaeologist, stumbled upon a cave in southwestern Wisconsin near the Mississippi River. What he found was startling: over 100
pictographs covered the walls and ceilings of the large multi-chambered cave.
"The birds, deer, and bow hunters are of styles that had to be prehistoric, and the charcoal had been absorbed into the rock. This was real, this was old, and
there was a lot of it."
The rock art, often grouped in panels like comic strips, depicts humans, birds and deer and abstract designs. Bow hunters are seen hunting deer. There is also
an image depicting the use of a cradle board. Evidence of cradle boarding, the flattening of the back of the skull to create a distinctive appearance, has been
found in ancient mounds in the southwest corner of Wisconsin and in Iowa. The pictographs were carbon dated to 700 B.C.
AZTALAN AND ROCK LAKE MORMON HISTORY
The Journey of Lehi and his family from Jerusalem to the continent of America in the first year of the reign of Zedekiah King of Judeah previous to the Babylon
captivity
600 B.C., during the climatic Jaredite Wars, Lehi led a migration of Israelites to the Promised Land of the Americas. Some believe the main group may have
ported in South and Central America, then battled northward into the land of the Jaredites. As greed and desire for absolute power will have it, soon a civil war
also broke out between Lehi's people breaking the main group into two seperate groups, becoming the Nephite and the Lamites. In the end, these two groups
battled to the last men, as the Jaredites had done earlier, on the same hill in New York, now called “Cummorah”.
God gave the order to wipe the Nephites off the face of the earth, along with all record of their existence. (Deut.) In some battles thousands were slain and piled
up in heaps upon the face of the land and then earth thrown upon them.
The last group to arrive on North American soil were the Mulekites, also known as the people of Zarahemia, bringing with them Mulek, the son of King Zedekia
and heir to the throne of David.
The Book of Mormon begins its story of the Mulekites where the Old Testament story of Zedekiah ends. Amaleki writes that Mulek, the son of Zedekiah and heir
to the throne of David, came “out from Jerusalem at the time that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon.” Amaleki continues: “And they
journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters, into the land where a group led by Mosiah discovered them; and
they had dwelt there from that time forth. The Book of Mormon chronologist dates this reuniting of these two escaped remnants of Jerusalem sometime between
279 B.C. and 130 B.C.
Until the Book of Mormon was published in 1830, biblical history had remained silent about any surviving son of the last of the twenty-one kings of Judah (heir to
the throne of David) According to biblical history, after the Babylonian King overthrew Jerusalem, he placed Zedekiah (Mattaniah), grandson of the righteous
King Josiah, in charge. Later, supported by Moab, Ammon, Edom, Tyre and Sidon, Zedekiah rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. Resulting from his failed
attempt, he lost this city,was captured at the plains of Jericho and he and his men were taken to Riblah, Nebuchadnezzar’s headquarters. There Zedekiah’s
sons and the nobles of Judah were slain before his eyes. Last of all, Zedekiah’s eyes were put out and he was bound and taken to Babylon. In the words of
Josephus, “After this manner … the kings of David’s race ended their lives, being in number twenty-one - until the last king.”
After arriving in North America, they were introduced to the gospel under King Mosiah and then continued to be taught under his son, King Benjamin. Before his
death, King Benjamin sent a proclamation “throughout all this land among all this people, or the people of Zarahemla, and the people of Mosiah who dwell in the
land” to be gathered together for him to speak to them. When they had gathered together near the temple built in Zarahemla, the Nephites and Mulekites
offered burnt sacrifices according to the Law of Moses and gave thanks to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Jerusalem and appointing just men to
teach them to keep the commandments of God. (See Mosiah 2:1–4.)
According to Joseph Smith the Jaredites settled in Aztalan, Wisconsin. This is an archeological site similar to the thousands found in the Mississippi valley region
attributed to the Mound Builders of North America. The site contains three small stepped pyramidal mounds located between Milwaukee and Madison.
The Book of Mormon documents several ancient and highly technologically advanced nations that existed in North Ameirca’s ancient past. The oldest of which
were the Jaredite nation, who came into existence in North America at the time of the Tower of Babel, which many biblical literalist scholars date to between
3100 B C and 2200 B C until as late as 600 B C. The record tells us that Jared and his people came from the land of "the great tower, at the time the Lord
confounded the language of the people" (Ether 1:33). The Bible tells us that this was the beginning of all cultures: "So the Lord scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:8). Because they were a righteous people the LORD did not confound their language, and a Prophet led
them called "The Brother of Jared" (his actual name was Mahonri Moriancumr).
At one time, the Jaredites were one of the greatest nations of this earth with inhabitants spreading from sea to sea, enjoying national greatness and glory for
nearly fifteen hundred years. An article titled “Facts Are Stubborn Things,” appearing in the Times and Seasons in September 1842, and under Joseph Smith’s
editorship, claimed the Jaredites to have “covered the whole continent from sea to sea, with towns and cities”. According to Mormon History, the Jaredites
divided into two warring camps —one righteous, the other unrighteous.
Their armies (2 million men each) fight to the last man in the state of New York, on the Hill Ramah. By 600 B.C. the Jaredite culture was destroyed in this last
battle. (Archaeologists have also put the destruction of the Olmec people at 600 B.C.)
600 B.C. Lehi led a migration of Israelites to the Promised Land of the Americas. They may have originally landed in South and Central America where they
then traveled north to the land of the Jaredites living in North America. Civil war broke out amongst the group and they seperated, becoming the Nephite and the
Lamite. Later they would find themselves on the same hill in New York, now called Cummorah, fighting to the last warrior.
God gave the order to wipe the Nephites off the face of the earth, along with all record of their existence. (Deut.) In some battles thousands were slain and piled
up in heaps upon the face of the land and then earth thrown upon them.
Josiah Priest, American Antiquities, was one of the first to give full documented accounts of this lost race, based on abundance of proof from recent
discoveries. History informs this nation of Nephites were brought down and destroyed by the Lamanites... God stirred up the Lamanites to camp against them
round about, and to raise forts against them with a mount, and thus they were brought down. (Deut.) After Priest completed his report, most of his books and
documents concerning this were destroyed.
The last group to arrive on North American soil were the Mulekites, also known as the people of Zarahemia, bringing with them Mulek, the son of King Zedekia
and heir to the throne of David.
The Book of Mormon begins its story of the Mulekites where the Old Testament story of Zedekiah ends. Amaleki writes that Mulek, the son of Zedekiah and heir
to the throne of David, came “out from Jerusalem at the time that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon.” Amaleki continues: “And they
journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters, into the land where a group led by Mosiah discovered them; and
they had dwelt there from that time forth. The Book of Mormon chronologist dates this reuniting of these two escaped remnants of Jerusalem sometime between
279 B.C. and 130 B.C.

Giants of Ohio
38 pound copper ax was found in one of the Hopewell mounds of Ohio.
Estimates of the number of moundworks in Ohio alone—at the end of the Colonial period—topped ten thousand. Today, less than one-twentieth of these exist
in reconstructed form. ,
There were mounds situated in the eastern part of the village of Conneaut and an extensive burying-ground near the Presbyterian church, which appear to
have had no connection with the burying-places of the Indians. Among the human bones found in the mounds were some belonging to men of gigantic structure.
Some of the skulls were of sufficient capacity to admit the head of an ordinary man, and jaw bones that might have been fitted on over the face with equal
facility; the other bones were proportionately large. The burying-ground referred to contained about four acres, and with the exception of a slight angle in
conformity with the natural contour of the ground was in the form of an oblong square. It appeared to have been accurately surveyed into lots running from
north to south, and exhibited all the order and propriety of arrangement deemed necessary to constitute Christian burial...
Historical Collections of Ohio in Two Volumes
by Henry Howe, LL.D. (1888)
The first record of giants in Ohio can be traced back to 1829. A near by mound was being used to furnish the material to build a hotel in Chesterville. As they
dug into the mounds, the workers dug up a large human skeleton. The local physician examining the skeleton said that the skull could have easily fit over a
normal man's head with no difficulty. Another pecularity of the skeleton was the additonal teeth it had compared to modern man.
In the Ohio River Valley, Indian Mounds abound. In 1872,Seneca Township, Noble County, Ohio, in what is now called 'Bates' Mound three skeletons wre found.
All three skeletons unearthed were at the very least eight feet tall in heighth with bone structure proportional to their height. Another amazing discovery about
these skeletons is that they all had double rows of teeth.
Later, in 1878, another discovery in the county of Ashtabula County, Ohio. Mounds were excavated on land belonging to Peleg Sweet, a man of large features.
In the first mound, theyt unearthed a skull and jaw which were of such size that the skull would cover Sweet's head and the jaw could be easily slipped over his
face. Excavating further, they discovered these mounds contained the graves estimated between two and three thousand. Many of the skeletons found were of
gigantic proportions.
According to Indian Legend there were two different races of strange humans that pre-existed their culture. One was the Archaic people who had slender
bodies with long narrow heads.. The other group was the Adena people who had a massive bone structure with a short head. The Archaics were living in the
Ohio River Valley prior to the Adenas. In what is assumed to be around 1000 BC, the Adenas moved into the area , coming up from the South, to claim dominion
over the land. After a great war, the Archaics were destroyed by this more advanced and powerful race. From the Adenas the art of mound building was
established .
David Cusic, a Tuscorora by birth, wrote in 1825 that among the legends of the ancient people there was a powerful tribe called Ronnongwetowanca. They were
giants, and had a "considerable habitation." He states that when the Great Spirit made the people, some of them became giants. They made themselves feared
by attacking when most unexpected. After having endured the outrages of these giants for a great long time, the people banded together to destroy them. With
a final force of about 800 warriors, they successfully annihilated the abhorrent Ronnongwetowanca. There were no giants anywhere after this, it was said. This
was supposed to have happened around 2,500 winters before Columbus arrived in America, i.e. circa 1,000 B.C.-the time that the Adena seem to have arrived
in the Ohio Valley.
Modern day archaeology and anthropology have literallly sealed the doors to the true history of our ancestors. Archeological discoveries have become a one
way door. What was discovered went to the Smithsonian Institute and others like it where the contents have been virtually sealed off to all but the elite few. But
by digging through the archives of old newspapers, remaining documents, diaries and Indian legends we can form some idea as to what laid in our past.
The Scientific American, in 1883, published the following account:
Two miles from Mandan, on the bluffs near the junction of the Hart and Missouri Rivers, says the local newspaper, the Pioneer, is an old Cemetery of fully 100
acres in extent filled with bones of a giant race. This vast city of the dead lies just east of the Fort Lincoln road. The ground has the appearance of having been
filled with trenches piled full of dead bodies, both man and beast, and covered with several feet of earth. In many places mounds from 8 to 10 feet high, and
some of them 100 feet or more in length, have been thrown up and are filled with bones, broken pottery, vases of various bright colored flint, and agates ...
showing the work of a people skilled in the arts and possessed of a high state of civilization. This has evidently been a grand battlefield, where thousands of
men ... have fallen. ...Five miles above Mandan, on the opposite side of the Missouri, is another vast cemetery, as yet unexplored. We asked an aged Indian
what his people knew of these ancient grave yards. He answered: "Me know nothing about them. They were here before the red man."
From the Ironton Register, a small Ohio River town newspaper, dated 5 May 1892,:
Where Proctorville now stands was one day part of a well paved city, but I think the greatest part of it is now in the Ohio river. Only a few mounds, there; one of
which was near the C. Wilgus mansion and contained a skeleton of a very large person, all double teeth, and sound, in a jaw bone that would go over the jaw
with the flesh on, of a large man; The common burying ground was well filled with skeletons at a depth of about 6 feet. Part of the pavement was of boulder
stone and part of well preserved brick.
-----------------------------------------------------
Evidence for the occupation of this region before the appearance of the red man and the white race is to be found in almost every part of the county, as well as
through the northwest generally. In removing the gravel bluffs, which are numerous and deep, for the construction and repair of roads, and in excavating cellars,
hundreds of human skeletons, some of them of giant form, have been found. A citizen of Marion County estimates that there were about as many human
skeletons in the knolls of Marion County as there are white inhabitants at present!

Mastodonic remains are occasionally unearthed, and, from time to time, discoveries of the remains of Indian settlements are indicated by the appearance of
gigantic skeletons, with the high cheek bones, powerful jaws and massive frames peculiar of the red man, who left these as the only record with which to form a
clew to the history of past ages.

She said also that three skeletons were found at the mouth of the Paw Paw Creek many years later, while Nim (Nimrod) Satterfield was justice of the peace. Jim
Dean and some men were digging for a bridge foundation and found these bones at the lower end of the old buffalo wallow. She thought it was Dr. Kidwell, of
Fairmont, who examined them and said they were very old, perhaps thousands of years old. She said that when the skeletons were exposed to the weather for a
few days, their bones turned black and began to crumble, that Squire Satterfield had them buried in the Joliffe graveyard (Rivesville). All these skeletons, she
said, were measured, and found to be about eight feet long.

Collected Accounts of James Mooney (1861-1921), tells of the visit of very tall people from the west:
James Wafford, of the western Cherokee, who was born in Georgia in 1806, says that his grandmother, who must have been born about the middle of the last
century, told him that she had heard from the old people that long before her time a party of giants had once come to visit the Cherokee. They were nearly twice
as tall as common men, and had their eyes set slanting in their heads, so that the Cherokee called them Tsunil´ kalu´, "the Slant-eyed people," because they
looked like the giant hunter Tsul´ kalu´. They said that these giants lived far away in the direction in which the sun goes down. The Cherokee received them
as friends, and they stayed some time, and then returned to their home in the west...

A document dated March 3 1880 records an excavation in Brush Creek Township, Muskingurn County. A site was excavated on the farm of J.M. Baughman. In
this particular muond was discovered the bones of men and women, buried in couples . The length of their skeletons exceeding eight and even nine feet! The
excavation was started in early December 1870.
What is most interesting and IMPORTANT here is the discovery of a large stone tablet inscribed with an ancient eastern form of writing. These are what is now
refered to as the Brush Creek Tablets. *See Morman Tablets
Modern anthropologists have put forward the theory that once the giants existed in great number, and were the dominant race prior to the advent of modem and
smaller races of men and women. Being warlike, they diminished their number in great wars (as the thousands of mound burials in the Ohio River Valley attest),
and were eventually subjugated by the smaller, but more numerous races. Although the giants of yesteryears may have been destroyed, the genes still rise in
modern man ie. children born with 6 toes or fingers, double rows of teeth and giant sizes such as shown in the picture at the top of the page.

We can find another example of the existence of giant 'bearded' men, through the tradition of the Chippewa, Sandusky, and Tawa tribes.,
"In this connection I would say that Mr. Jonathan Brooks, now living in town, stated to me, that his father, Benjamin Brooks, who lived with the Indians fourteen
years, and was well-acquainted with their language and traditions, told him and others that it was a tradition of the Indians that the first tribe occupying this whole
country, was a black-bearded race, very large in size, and subsequently a red bearded race or tribe came and killed or drove off all the black beards, as they
called them."
The Firelands Pioneer (1858)
A mound near Toledo, Ohio, held 20 skeletons, seated and facing east with jaws and teeth "twice as large as those of present day people," and besides each
was a large bowl with "curiously wrought hieroglyphic figures."

In 1826, a well dug near the Ohio river in north Cincinnati failed to produce water, but did produce the unexpected. From a level 94 feet down, a buried tree
stump was brought to the surface which showed the marks of an ax. The marks were deep and well-cut, indicating the use of a sharp and durable blade.The
suspicion that the ax had been made of metal was confirmed when, embedded in the top of the stump, an advanced oxidized wedge of iron was found. The layer
from which the stump came was estimated to be between 50,000 and 75,000 years old - nearly 10 times the accepted age of the supposed first metal usage.

The Los Angeles News of December 17, 1869 printed an account supplied to the paper by a correspondent of the Cleveland Herald, writing from Wellsville,
Ohio. The account described how in the autumn of the year, at a coal mine operated by a Captain Lacey of Hammondville, a miner named James Parsons was
loosening a large mass at a depth of 100 feet, when he suddenly exposed a smooth slate wall covered with strange alphabetic writing. The letters were raised
and well defined. The coal that had covered the wall bore their distinct impression - which means the letters date to a time when the coal was in a vegetable
state, and had molded itself against the wall. Each sign was three-quarters of an inch in size, and arranged in rows precisely spaced 3 inches apart. The first
line of letters contained 25. Local teachers and ministers examined the find, but could offer no explanations. Unfortunately, just before a number of university
professors arrived to verify the discovery, the slate surface disintegrated from exposure to air, and the script was lost. Nevertheless, the find was well-
documented, and attested
to by several reliable witnesses. But the most disturbing fact about the mysterious slate wall and its glyphs was their undeniable presence in coal - coal from the
Carboniferous era, well over 200 million years old.
GIANTS OF OKLAHOMA
In 1912, two employees of the Municipal Electric Plant of Thomas, Oklahoma, were shoveling coal into the plant furnaces, using fuel which had been mined near
neighboring Wilberton. One chunk of coal was too large to handle, so the
workmen took a sledge hammer to it. Once it broke open, however, the workmen found that the chunk contained an iron pot, and upon its removal, the two coal
halves bore the "mold" of the pot in its interiors. Both employees signed affidavits testifying to the authenticity of the discovery, and the iron pot was
subsequently examined by several experts - every one of which was most reluctant to comment on the pot, and the circumstances surrounding its discovery.
This was most understandable,
since the object came from coal dated from 300 to 325 million years
On June 27,1969, workmen cutting into a rock shelf situated on the Broadway Extension of 122nd Street, between Edmond and Oklahoma City, came upon a
find that was to create much controversy among the experts. The find was an inlaid tile floor, found 3 feet below the surface, and covering several thousand
square feet. Durwood Pate, an Oklahoma City geologist, commented on the floor in the Edmond Booster of July 3, 1969: "I am sure this was man-made because
the stones are placed in perfect sets of parallel lines which intersect to form a diamond shape, all pointing to the east. We found post holes which measure a
perfect two rods from the other two. The top of the stone is very smooth, and if you lift one of them, you will find it is very jagged, which indicates wear on the
surface. Everything is too well placed to be a natural formation."
Pate also discovered a form of mortar between the tiles. He believes now that the tile surface served as a common floor for several human shelters over a wide
area. Delbert Smith, a geologist and president of the Oklahoma Seismograph Company, summed up the mystery concerning the tile floor in the Tulsa World of
June 29, 1969: "There is no question about it. It had been laid there, but I have no idea by whom." Yet another facet of the mystery involved the question of age.
There are some differing
opinions as to the geology involved, but the best estimate places the tiles at 200,000 years old.
GIANTS OF TENNESSEE
In the early spring of 1891, a farmer named J.H. Hooper was examining a wooded ridge on his property, located in Bradley
County, 13 miles from Cleveland, Tennessee. A peculiar stone caught his attention, which he first took to be a grave marker. But digging around it, he soon
discovered that the stone was only a surface projection of a subterranean structure that extended into the depths below. Hopper spent the next several weeks in
an attempt to uncover his unusual find: A length of wall, traced for a thousand feet, on the average 2 feet thick and 8 feet high, with numerous projections - like
the first one - spaced along the top every 25 to 30 feet. The wall ran roughly at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees east. The structure continues on beyond the
section exposed, in both directions, following the crest of a ridge that extends from the Hiawassee river north of Chattanooga southward, where it dips beneath
the Tennessee river. Its position dates it geologically to near the beginning of the Quaternary - well over a million years old. The wall is composed of red
sandstone blocks constructed in three courses, cemented together with a dark red clay mixed with salt, and in numerous places is plastered over with red, slate
and yellow clays. Along one stretch of wall, near the northern end a distance of 16 feet, Hooper made without a doubt the most important discovery: Hidden
beneath the outer clay plasterings, a number of the sandstone block surfaces were covered with the hieroglyphs of a lost language. The letters were arranged
in wavy, parallel and diagonal lines, interspersed with small pictures of strange animals, many unidentifiable. there were other symbols too, of the sun and
crescent moon, which appear to have some astronomical significance. All together, 872 individual characters were made out, many repeated - suggesting the
script is a form of pictographic writing, like Chinese. Despite the implications of the wall, and the challenge of the discovery of an unknown writing, the find was
met by the scientific community with overwhelming apathy. A short notice on the Tennessee
mystery wall appeared in the Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences (11:26-29), written by A.L. Rawson, who examined the structure and script first-
hand, as well as published copies he had made of some of the glyphs and pictures. But that was all; no further study was ever made.
GIANTS OF UTAH
A week later, Ottinger returned to the plateau with Dr. J.P. Marwitt, professor of anthropology at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, several photographers,
a news reporter, and a number of observers. With cameras recording the event, Dr. Marwitt carefully removed the lower halves of two human skeletons. The
bones were articulated - that is, laid out naturally - showing the bodies had not fallen or been washed into the stratum in which they were situated. These and
other factors revealed
the bones to be as old as the layer in which they were found. The one problem was, the layer is Lower Dakota and Upper Morrison formations -over 100 million
years of age, according to uniformitarian geologists. Yet, as Marwitt noted, the bones were not simian or even half-ape: They were fully human and modern-
looking. The skeletons were taken by Marwitt back with him to the University of Utah, to run laboratory er run, there was no official confirmation. One gets the
impression they were, and that the findings were too disturbing for conservative thinking. Marwitt suddenly became "disinterested" in the project, and left Utah to
take up a teaching position elsewhere. After a year waiting for results, Ottinger recovered the bones - and that ended the scientific inquiry.

Ancient European Skeleton Recovered In West Virginia Cave
Cave Skeleton is European, 1,300 Years Old, Man Says
Sept. 29, 2002
MORGANTOWN - The man who first advanced the theory that markings carved on in a Wyoming County cave are actually characters from an ancient Irish
alphabet has found human remains at the site, which tests indicate are European in origin and date back to A.D. 710, he maintains.
Robert Pyle of Morgantown says that a DNA analysis of material from the skeleton's teeth roots was conducted by Brigham Young University. That analysis, he
says, shows that the skeleton's DNA, when compared to samples from Native American groups and an array of European sources, most closely matches
samples from the British Isles.
Pyle says the DNA test, plus a radiocarbon test that dates the skeleton to 710, suggest the presence of a European visitor to the North American continent
nearly 800 years before the arrival of Columbus, and nearly 300 years before Viking Leif Erickson
The American Anthropologist, volume IX (1896), page 66, describes the finding of a perfect human imprint in stone about 4 miles north of Parkersburg, on the
West Virginia side of the Ohio river. The track was 14 1/2 inches long, and was found embedded in a large stone. Though few specifics were given, one expert
has calculated from the type of rock depicted, and its position on the river's edge, that the track must be at least 150 million years old, according to modern
geologic dating..

The eleventh skeleton that has been dug up in this neighborhood in the last few years was discovered by A.E.Morton while he was escavating
for his home on Lake Ripley. The skeleton was entire and had “the double set of teeth in the lower jaw”. It measured six feet three inches from
head to the base of the foot.
Eau Claire Leader, November 27, 1907
NEENAH, WISCONSIN
"Oh, Wisconsin. beneath your feet is an ocean of bones...."
"They (railroad crews) knocked the top off of the small hill called Butte Des Morts. It was full of skeletons. Tracks were laid across the cut and The combined
bones and rock became the track bed." - a diary description of the 19th century decapitation of a section of "the hill of the dead"(Butte Des Morts) on the shore
of Little Lake Butte Des Morts in Neenah.
The hill is reputed to hold the piled up corpses of Fox Indians killed during a battle against the French and their Indian Allies in the Fox/French Wars. More
likely, the hill had been part of a long standing burial ground and contained the bones of the ancient mound builders. Mounds are everywhere, their remains
may be beneath your feet right as you read this. In the mid to late 19th century countless mounds were plowed over by farmers. Road crews crushed bones into
aggregate for road and railroad beds. It's safe to say that all of Wisconsin's primary roads contain shattered bits of the bones of the ancient dead
A stone ax was discovered, twenty-eight inches long, fourteen inches wide, eleven inches thick, and weighing three hundred pounds. Makes

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, WISCONSIN
Excerpt from 1823 manuscript prepared by Stephen H. Long, Major USTE by order of the Hon. J.C. Calhoun, Secretary of War.
There are at present but few Indians in the immediate vicinity of the fort, and none can give an account of the works which are so abundantly scattered over the
country. They say that the only means by which they can account for them is to suppose that the country was probably inhabited, at a period anterior to the
most remote traditions, by a race of white men, similar to those of European origin,and that they were cut off by their forefathers. This supposition is grounded
upon the circumstance of their having found human bones buried in the earth at a much greater depth than that, at which they are accustomed to inter their
dead; and in graves which differ from theirs, inasmuch as they are unaccompanied by instruments of any kind, whereas they never omit depositing the arms, &c.
with the corpse of the deceased. It is also said that tomahawks of brass (?) and other implements differing from those in common use among the present
Indians, have likewise been found under the surface of the ground.. The fortifications appear to them likewise to be a proof of the correctness of their opinion,
as none of the Indians are in the habit of constructing works of a similar character, and as indeed they are unacquainted with the utility of them.
"Mr. Brisbois, who has been for a long time a resident of Prairie du Chien, informed me that he saw the skeletons of eight persons, that were found, in digging a
cellar near his house, lying side by side. They were of a gigantic size, measuring about eight feet from head to foot. He added that he took a leg bone of one of
them and placed it by the side of his own leg, in order compare the length of the two; the bone of the skeleton extended six inches above his knee. None of
these bones could be preserved as they crumbled to dust soon after they were exposed to the atmosphere."*
[Note : * Major Long's MS. No. 2, folio 25.]
We saw a number of Indian graves on the prairie, but as they were modern they offered nothing peculiar. They resemble the graves of white men, but the sod
over them is covered with boards or bark, secured to stakes driven into the ground, so as to form a sort of roof over the grave; at the head, poles were erected
for the purpose of supporting flags; a few tatters of one of these still waved over the grave. An upright post was also fixed near the head, and upon this the
deeds of the deceased, whether in the way of hunting or fighting, were inscribed with red or black paint. The graves were placed upon mounds in the prairie,
this situation having doubtless been selected as being the highest and least likely to be overflowed.
From a series of observations, taken at this place, it results that Fort Crawford is situated in latitude 43° 3' 31' north, and longitude 90° 52' 30' west. The
magnetic variation amounts here to 8° 48' 52' east.
Scientists are remaining stubbornly silent about a lost race of giants found in burial mounds near Lake Delavan, Wisconsin, in May 1912.
HENSCHELL WISCONSIN "...there are more burial and effigy mounds in Wisconsin than any other part of North America."
1877. "A plow horse accidentally broke through the top of an ancient mound at Henschell in Sheboygan County. When the farmer and his neighbors
investigated, they found fifty skeletons in sitting in a circle facing the center of the mound. A large marine shell from the Gulf Coast was on the floor in the middle
of the group...."
The rivers were highways. The trade route from what is now the gulf side of Mexico to Wisconsin was a relatively routine thing. Sea shells from the Yucatan are
a fairly common find in the soil of the Badger state. Always keep an eye out, the ground beneath your feet is alive with the stories of those who came before you.
LAKE DELAVAN WISCONSIN The dig site at Lake Delavan was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds.
.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 features. Their heights ranged between 7.6ft and 10 feet and their skulls…“presumably those of men, are much larger than the heads
of any race which inhabit America to-day.”
They tend to have a double row of teeth, 6 fingers, 6 toes and like humans came in different races. The teeth in the front of the jaw are regular molars. Heads
usually found are elongated.
MAPLE CREEK WISCONSIN 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 .On December 20th, New York Times reported that three large burial mounds had been discovered near Maple Upon excavation, a skeleton
measuring over nine feet from head to toe was discovered with finely tempered copper rods and other relics.

LAKE DELEVAN Walworth County Wisconsin
A discovery on the shores of Delavan Lake in Walworth County made various newspapers, including the New York Times. Two brothers, ernest and Chester
Phillips, had purchased the lakefront property known as Lake Lawn and were curious about the great number of mounds located on their farm. They found
conical mounds, which often contained burials, and various effigy mounds, constructed in the shape of strange animals and abstract formations.
The Lake Lawn farm is now a resort and golf course, located just west of Delavan on Highway 50. All together, there were over one hundred mounds on the
property, but less than a fourth remains.
The restaurant is constructed directly over what used to be a very large mound, and many of its past and current workers whisper that it is haunted. ref: Linda

LAKE MILLS WISCONSIN . SEE MY WORK ON LAKE MILLS AND AZTALAN 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.
Giant skulls and skeletons of a race of giants 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, as well as other states in North America and their burial sites are similar to the well-known
mounds of the Mound Builder people of Wisconsin
POTOSI WISCONSIN The January 13th, 1870 edition of the Wisconsin Decatur Republican reported that two giant, well-preserved skeletons of an unknown
race were discovered near Potosi, WI by workers digging the foundation of a saw mill near the bank of the Mississippi river.
One skeleton measured seven-and-a-half feet, the other eight feet. The skulls of each had prominent cheek bones and double rows of teeth. A large collection
of arrowheads and “strange toys” were found buried with the remains.
WEST BEND WISCONSIN
A giant skeleton was unearthed outside of West Bend near Lizard Mound County Park and assembled by local farmers to a height of eight feet.
VOREE WISCONSIN North of Burlington is the Mormon Strangite Community originally founded and ruled over by Prophet James Strang. It was his claim that
Brass Plates were found in the woods outside of Voree. They were found next to a giant buried under a large tree. According to the plates, this giant was RAJA
MANCHORE OF VORITO a priest and ruler of a mining community. The burial plates show him as being over the stars, yet under the ‘All Seeing Eye of Ra’.
His title was of a Raja and hair cut is known as a ‘roach’ ….indicating that he was most likely of the eastern culture of Brahmins or of Egyptian/Hebrew descent.
WISCONSIN RAPIDS - Wisconsin was a major center of ancient religion. It saw man's earliest attempts at metal making and, according to the following article,
was the home of ancient astronomers.
”Prof. James Scherz claims to have discovered an ancient Indian calendar site in a marshy region near Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Scherz was led to the site
by aerial photographs taken during a wetlands mapping program. Strange "islands" of higher land seen within the bog were found, upon terrestrial inspection, to
be unusually steep, possibly artificial. Some were round, some four-sided; others were shaped like a fish, a rabbit, and a snake. [Wisconsin has countless
similar "effigy mounds" elsewhere.] Causeways connect some of these so-called islands.
The most interesting features of the islands, however, are prominent rocks and rock cairns. Scherz and an assistant mapped the islands, cairns, and rocks to
determine if any astronomical alignments existed. Sure enough, the solstices and equinoxes were predictable from some of the alignments. Another alignment
provided the site's latitude. The exploration of this site is incomplete, and further information is expected. Quite possibly, the site is associated with the famous
prehistoric copper mining activities which were centered in Wisconsin roughly 3,000 to 7,000 years ago.” (Murn, Thomas J.; "Portage County Cairns:
Wisconsin's Rockhenge," NEARA Journal, 18:50, 1984.)
Pictographs found in southwestern Wisconsin Caves – Near Mississippi River
Daniel Arnold, an amateur archaeologist, stumbled upon a cave in southwestern Wisconsin near the Mississippi River. What he found was startling: over 100
pictographs covered the walls and ceilings of the large multi-chambered cave.
"The birds, deer, and bow hunters are of styles that had to be prehistoric, and the charcoal had been absorbed into the rock. This was real, this was old, and
there was a lot of it."
The rock art, often grouped in panels like comic strips, depicts humans, birds and deer and abstract designs. Bow hunters are seen hunting deer. There is also
an image depicting the use of a cradle board. Evidence of cradle boarding, the flattening of the back of the skull to create a distinctive appearance, has been
found in ancient mounds in the southwest corner of Wisconsin and in Iowa. The pictographs were carbon dated to 700 B.C.
AZTALAN AND ROCK LAKE MORMON HISTORY
The Journey of Lehi and his family from Jerusalem to the continent of America in the first year of the reign of Zedekiah King of Judeah previous to the Babylon
captivity
600 B.C., during the climatic Jaredite Wars, Lehi led a migration of Israelites to the Promised Land of the Americas. Some believe the main group may have
ported in South and Central America, then battled northward into the land of the Jaredites. As greed and desire for absolute power will have it, soon a civil war
also broke out between Lehi's people breaking the main group into two seperate groups, becoming the Nephite and the Lamites. In the end, these two groups
battled to the last men, as the Jaredites had done earlier, on the same hill in New York, now called “Cummorah”.
God gave the order to wipe the Nephites off the face of the earth, along with all record of their existence. (Deut.) In some battles thousands were slain and piled
up in heaps upon the face of the land and then earth thrown upon them.
The last group to arrive on North American soil were the Mulekites, also known as the people of Zarahemia, bringing with them Mulek, the son of King Zedekia
and heir to the throne of David.
The Book of Mormon begins its story of the Mulekites where the Old Testament story of Zedekiah ends. Amaleki writes that Mulek, the son of Zedekiah and heir
to the throne of David, came “out from Jerusalem at the time that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon.” Amaleki continues: “And they
journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters, into the land where a group led by Mosiah discovered them; and
they had dwelt there from that time forth. The Book of Mormon chronologist dates this reuniting of these two escaped remnants of Jerusalem sometime between
279 B.C. and 130 B.C.
Until the Book of Mormon was published in 1830, biblical history had remained silent about any surviving son of the last of the twenty-one kings of Judah (heir to
the throne of David) According to biblical history, after the Babylonian King overthrew Jerusalem, he placed Zedekiah (Mattaniah), grandson of the righteous
King Josiah, in charge. Later, supported by Moab, Ammon, Edom, Tyre and Sidon, Zedekiah rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. Resulting from his failed
attempt, he lost this city,was captured at the plains of Jericho and he and his men were taken to Riblah, Nebuchadnezzar’s headquarters. There Zedekiah’s
sons and the nobles of Judah were slain before his eyes. Last of all, Zedekiah’s eyes were put out and he was bound and taken to Babylon. In the words of
Josephus, “After this manner … the kings of David’s race ended their lives, being in number twenty-one - until the last king.”
After arriving in North America, they were introduced to the gospel under King Mosiah and then continued to be taught under his son, King Benjamin. Before his
death, King Benjamin sent a proclamation “throughout all this land among all this people, or the people of Zarahemla, and the people of Mosiah who dwell in the
land” to be gathered together for him to speak to them. When they had gathered together near the temple built in Zarahemla, the Nephites and Mulekites
offered burnt sacrifices according to the Law of Moses and gave thanks to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Jerusalem and appointing just men to
teach them to keep the commandments of God. (See Mosiah 2:1–4.)
According to Joseph Smith the Jaredites settled in Aztalan, Wisconsin. This is an archeological site similar to the thousands found in the Mississippi valley region
attributed to the Mound Builders of North America. The site contains three small stepped pyramidal mounds located between Milwaukee and Madison.
The Book of Mormon documents several ancient and highly technologically advanced nations that existed in North Ameirca’s ancient past. The oldest of which
were the Jaredite nation, who came into existence in North America at the time of the Tower of Babel, which many biblical literalist scholars date to between
3100 B C and 2200 B C until as late as 600 B C. The record tells us that Jared and his people came from the land of "the great tower, at the time the Lord
confounded the language of the people" (Ether 1:33). The Bible tells us that this was the beginning of all cultures: "So the Lord scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:8). Because they were a righteous people the LORD did not confound their language, and a Prophet led
them called "The Brother of Jared" (his actual name was Mahonri Moriancumr).
At one time, the Jaredites were one of the greatest nations of this earth with inhabitants spreading from sea to sea, enjoying national greatness and glory for
nearly fifteen hundred years. An article titled “Facts Are Stubborn Things,” appearing in the Times and Seasons in September 1842, and under Joseph Smith’s
editorship, claimed the Jaredites to have “covered the whole continent from sea to sea, with towns and cities”. According to Mormon History, the Jaredites
divided into two warring camps —one righteous, the other unrighteous.
Their armies (2 million men each) fight to the last man in the state of New York, on the Hill Ramah. By 600 B.C. the Jaredite culture was destroyed in this last
battle. (Archaeologists have also put the destruction of the Olmec people at 600 B.C.)
600 B.C. Lehi led a migration of Israelites to the Promised Land of the Americas. They may have originally landed in South and Central America where they
then traveled north to the land of the Jaredites living in North America. Civil war broke out amongst the group and they seperated, becoming the Nephite and the
Lamite. Later they would find themselves on the same hill in New York, now called Cummorah, fighting to the last warrior.
God gave the order to wipe the Nephites off the face of the earth, along with all record of their existence. (Deut.) In some battles thousands were slain and piled
up in heaps upon the face of the land and then earth thrown upon them.
Josiah Priest, American Antiquities, was one of the first to give full documented accounts of this lost race, based on abundance of proof from recent
discoveries. History informs this nation of Nephites were brought down and destroyed by the Lamanites... God stirred up the Lamanites to camp against them
round about, and to raise forts against them with a mount, and thus they were brought down. (Deut.) After Priest completed his report, most of his books and
documents concerning this were destroyed.
The last group to arrive on North American soil were the Mulekites, also known as the people of Zarahemia, bringing with them Mulek, the son of King Zedekia
and heir to the throne of David.
The Book of Mormon begins its story of the Mulekites where the Old Testament story of Zedekiah ends. Amaleki writes that Mulek, the son of Zedekiah and heir
to the throne of David, came “out from Jerusalem at the time that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon.” Amaleki continues: “And they

USA - Very strange looking figures
from Sego Canyon, Utah, thought to
be over 7,000 years old. Look at the
cranial structure with big eyes and
something protruding out of their
heads and look at the strange
shapes around them. What was
primitive man trying to show in these
drawings?
