BorisBoris Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 What do u think about this? https://www.nytimes.com/1902/02/11/archives/giant-skeletons-found-archaeologists-to-send-expedition-to-explore.html There are many other news and research from different periods...
Huckleberry of Yore Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Looks like your link requires a subscription to read the article. Here's an alternate resource: https://www.ancient-code.com/the-greatest-smithsonian-cover-up-the-giant-skeletons-of-wisconsin/ I've seen versions of this story over the years and I don't know if it's just another fictional conspiracy theory or not. Hard to imagine the motivation for such a coverup, except I suppose selling newspapers. Edited January 26, 2020 by Huckleberry of Yore
Bufofrog Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Is the date of that article 2/11/1902? Any new information?
Huckleberry of Yore Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 That's the point I think. Discoveries of giant skeletons were made prior to the 20's or so and have been scrubbed by a conspiracy.

So, complete unadulterated nonsense then. Quote False https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/giant-human-skeleton-photographs/ Quote The National Geographic Society has not discovered ancient giant humans, despite rampant reports and pictures. The hoax began with a doctored photo and later found a receptive online audience https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/12/skeleton-giant-photo-hoax/

I thought it unfortunate the author deviated into specifics of crane technology, but I provided link so that you can read the arguably unrelated NYT article referenced by the OP.

Discoveries of giant skeletons were made prior to the 20's or so and have been scrubbed by a conspiracy. It is incredible that the conspiracy is so powerful, and runs so deep, that all the evidence has been destroyed or concealed and yet a few sad guys on Youtube know all about it. Fascinating.

I wonder if they still have copyright on it? Not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Consequently, I believe you can acquire an original copy and republish it to you heart's content. But apparently the NYT has gone to the trouble of scanning their old editions and put them up for subscription based viewing. A bit off topic: Coincidentally years ago I had the idea of scanning old papers and putting them on a website, even purchased some old out-of-copyright NYTs and some Civil War era editions. I had trouble with OCR software and abandoned the idea.

NYT is paywalling everything on their portal, whether or not it’s copyrighted. Is the only way they can survive in new media environment. Want to read stuff on our page?

No scientific reports? No actual skeletons? Just faked photos and made up stories. Come on, you are not falling for this, are you? 3 minutes ago, BorisBoris said: Professor Muldashev is famous ophtalmologist That's what we need: an ophthalmologist. None of these so-called "archeologists". 4 minutes ago, BorisBoris said: and also interested in ... esotericism Well, there you go then. Any remaining plausibility don the drain.
Huckleberry of Yore Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 I made the mistake of following those two links and don't recommend them. Still, I don't see snopes or anyone else following up on the legitimacy or the claims in the NYT 1902 article. I found nothing relevant by searching, so for now I presume subsequent investigation revealed a hoax or maybe the bones turned out to be non-human.
BorisBoris Posted February 3, 2020 Author Posted February 3, 2020 This is Abel's Tomb in Damascus, 6m long https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=230&v=BCXOKjQu1-o&feature=emb_title
Strange Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Just now, BorisBoris said: This is Abel's Tomb in Damascus, 6m long Apart from the fact that YouTube is not a reliable source of information(*), why would the existence of a large sarcophagus be evidence of anything? It is probably empty, especially as it is claimed to contain the remains of someone who only exists in myth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabi_Habeel_Mosque Although I have doubts about Wikipedia, at least it has references for its sources. (*) Especially a Russian news channel (not noted for their honesty). And especially one sponsored by the Russian government (the less said, the better).
BorisBoris Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 And what about this? It is exposed in Peruvian museum https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2063486/Alien-skull-Peru-Mystery-giant-headed-mummy-city-Andahuaylillas.html Perfect location for the lost Atlantis... 😊
Strange Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 1 hour ago, BorisBoris said: And what about this? It is in the Daily Mail. I am not even going to bother reading it. You might as well use The Simpsons or Spongebob Squarepants as a news source. 1
MigL Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 You're being a bit harsh, Strange. The Daily Mail is the only credible news source for anything Harry/Meghan or Kim/Kanye related.
