Giants of North America


Giants of North America

In the last few centuries, many strange archeological discoveries have been made in the Americas. It seems that people are unearthing extremely unusual and giant human remains. Many documented accounts of these findings exist. Giant human remains are classified as any bones representative of a person between seven and twelve feet in stature. A human skeleton measuring 12 f...eet tall was unearthed at Lompock Rancho, California, in 1833 by soldiers digging a pit for a powder magazine. The specimen had a double row of teeth and was surrounded by numerous stone axes, carved shells, and porphyry blocks with abstruse symbols associated with it. In 1856, a decaying human skeleton measuring 10 feet 9 inches tall was unearthed by laborers plowing a vineyard in what is now West Virginia. A mound discovered near Toledo, Ohio in 1895 held 20 skeletons; they were seated and facing east with jaws and teeth “twice as large as those of present day people.” In 1928, a farmer digging a pit to bury trash near Waterproof, Louisiana unearthed a 9 foot 11 inch tall skeleton.

The list of these discoveries is quite extensive and many claims have been made about the origin of these giant bones, usually starting and ending with Sasquatch. Others have suggested an ancient race of giant humans. In 1947, a strange article was posted in a Nevada state newspaper, titled ‘Atlantis in the Colorado River Desert’. The article discussed an incredible archeological discovery of 32 underground caves within a 180 square mile radius. The report indicated that the caves were discovered close to the Nevada and California border. The remains of ancient, strangely costumed 8 -9 foot giants were inside. They had been laid to rest wearing the skins of unknown animals similar to sheepskins fashioned into jackets with pants described as “prehistoric suits.” The same burial place had been cited 10-15 years earlier by another man who supposedly made a deal with the Smithsonian. Claims have been made that the evidence of his find was stolen and covered up by Darwinian scientists to protect the theory of evolution.

The caves were reported to have been discovered by Dr. F Bruce Russell. He initially described the finding as the burial place of a tribal hierarchy. He felt that some unknown catastrophe had driven these beings into the caves. All of the implements of their civilization were there, including household utensils and stoves. Well-preserved remains of dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, imperial elephants, and other extinct beasts were found. No physical archeological evidence of these claims has ever been displayed

Chocolate Hills

Chocolate Hills is one of the nominees for the new 7 wonders of nature. It is an unusual geological formation and composes of 1,268 haycock hills. Chocolate Hills is located in the province of Bohol in the Philippines.

The province of Bohol is also a home of some endangered species including tarsiers which are considered as the world’s smallest primates. The Chocolate Hills has dome-shaped hills covered by grasses. The hills dry up and turn brown in color during summer which is the main reason why it is called “Chocolate Hills”




gold fish


WHAT THE FACT?
If you keep a goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white.

Goldfish produces melanin. Melanin is a pigment body's product that is activated by the suns light. Without light the pigment fades. It is in rare occasions that the goldfish will actually turn white. And it isn't fully advisable to try this because light is a key need in the long life of a goldfish.

The Most painful Kills

The Most Painful Torture Devices Of The Middle Ages :O

Before the saw was given its perfunctory role to slice through wood and thick material, it was used to slice through humans for torture or execution. The victim would be held upside down, allowing the blood to rush to their head, and then the torturer would slowly start slicing them between their legs. With the blood contained in the head, the victim would remain conscious throughout most of the slicing, often only passing out or dying when the saw hit their mid-section... :o


THE SAILING STONES

THE SAILING STONES  also referred to as sliding rocks or moving rocks, are a geological puzzling phenomenon found in California, Death Valley. These rocks, some as heavy as 300 Kilograms, are mysteriously transported across a virtually flat desert plain without human or animal intervention, leaving erratic trails in the hard mud behind them, some hundreds of yards long. They move by some mysterious force, and in the nine decades since we have known about them, no-one has ever seen them in motion.


Aral Sea


The Devastating Shrinkage of Aral Sea :

The Aral Sea is a closed system in the middle of an Asian desert. With two glacier-feed rivers, the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya, supplying fresh water to the sea, evaporation is the only natural means of withdrawal for the water. Due to global warming, shrinking the glaciers high in the Hindu Kush and Pamir Mountains, the Aral Sea should be growing. However... the sea is shrinking at an alarming rate. Today it is the tenth largest lake in the world, but at one time it was the fourth largest.

The shoreline has receded 120 kilometers and the water level has fallen 15 meters. All 24 of its native fish species are gone and over 400,000 square kilometers of the former seabed are exposed. Today the area has been declared an ecological disaster zone—the most dramatic example of a natural area destroyed by humans.
