Did Giant Reptiles Share the Earth with Giant Humans?
![]() by Brad Steiger The notion that early humans might have been contemporaneous with the giant reptiles has stoked the creative fires of many a fantasy and science fiction novelist. In Worlds Before Our Own (Anomalist Books, 2007), I pose a two-pronged question: Did a race of early humans exist during the Age of Reptiles, something like 70 million years ago; or did a certain number of the giant reptiles survive until a few thousand years ago? Early in January, 1970, the London Express Service carried an item relating the discovery of a set of cave paintings which had been found in the Gorozamzi Hills, twenty-five miles from Salisbury in Rhodesia. According to the news story, the paintings included an accurate representation of a brontosaurus, the 67-foot, 30-ton behemoth that scientists insist became extinct millions of years before man achieved his earthly advent. Experts agree that the paintings were done by bushmen who ruled Rhodesia from about 1500 B.C.E. until a few hundred years ago. The experts also agree that the bushmen only painted from life. This belief is borne out by the other Gorozamzi Hills cave paintings, which represent elephants, hippos, deer, and giraffe. The November, 1968, issue of Science Digest carried the startling thoughts of Mexican archaeologist-journalist Jose Diaz-Bolio concerning his discovery of an ancient Mayan relief sculpture of a peculiar serpent-bird found in the ruins of Tajin, located in Totonacapan in the northeastern section of Veracruz, Mexico. Diaz- Bolio suggested that the serpent-bird was not merely the product of Mayan flights of fancy, but a realistic representation of an animal that lived during the period of the ancient Mayans -- 1,000 to 5,000 years ago. ![]() Fossilized footprints such as this--which certainly appear to be human--have been found throughout the American Southwest, most often in geologic strata indicative of 250 million years old. Dr. Wilbur Greely Burroughs, Geology Department, Berea College, KY, studied a series of such humanlike tracks impressed upon a sandy beach in the Pennsylvanian Period of the Palaeozoic Era, around 250 million years ago. Burroughs named the unknown originator of the mysterious tracks Phenanthropus mirabilis ("looks human“; remarkable). For years, Frank X. Tolbert wrote about the alleged mantracks in the Paluxy River in his "Tolbert's Texas" column in the Dallas Morning News. Consistently skeptical that the prints were made by humans, Tolbert maintained that the tracks had been made by giant sloths. But in his January 6, 1973 column, Tolbert reported "what may be the clearest of the so-called 'giant men tracks’ yet discovered"-- a footprint of "a huge humanoid" measuring 21 1/2 inches in length, 8 inches in width across the front of the foot, and 5 1/2 inches across the instep. A lot of information here at the link: http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Fron...2.html#cooliris p.s: Dr. C. N. Dougherty of Glen Rose stated that near the footprint are also the deeply engraved prints of three-toed dinosaurs. "These men-tracks belong to the Mesozoic Era because the clearest man-track is exactly eight inches from a trachodon track and on the same layer of rock," said Dr. Dougherty. "The trachodon tracks are as clear and distinct as the man-track. " ummmhh! where's the body? i mean the human skeleton...??? |

The discovery of giant skeletons have been made but are few and far in between.
Here are more reports of big footprints... Another discovery of a calcified human footprint has been found in Turkmenia. Its age leads us all the way back to 150 million years, to the Mesozoic period, and ultimately to the time of dinosaurs. Can it be possible that humans inhabited this planet along with such monstrous creatures? Yes.
Russian scientists however claim that a single footprint is not enough to force rethinking of existing theories of human existence and to come up with something radically novel. But what about an entire chain of footprints found near Carson, Nevada? Those are incredibly precise and clear prints doubtlessly left by a human. Their size is gigantic. Their age is 213-248 million years. It is not hard to conclude therefore that such a discovery cannot possibly go hand in hand with today's preconceived notions. OTHER GIANT PEOPLE—Similar giant human footprints have been found in Arizona, near Mount Whitney in California, near White Sands, New Mexico, and other placesSimilar giant human footprints have been found in Arizona, near Mount Whitney in California, near White Sands, New Mexico, and other places. But, in addition, several other giant human footprints—and even skeletal remains—have been found. At White Sands, New Mexico, a prehistoric giant walked across a drying lakebed, leaving sandaled feet tracks, with each track approximately 22 inches [55.8 cm] in length. "The remains of giants were found in Java, twice the size of gorillas, and later the petrified remains of a giant were found in South Africa and reported by the world-renowned anthropologist, Robert Broom. [Based on those finds] Dr. Franz Weidenreich (1946) propounded a new theory to the effect that man’s ancestors were actually giants. Dr. Burdick also tells about one of the unsolved mysteries of the Great White Sands National Monument near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Here is an area of about 175 acres consisting of alabaster, white as snow. It is believed that this gypsum was precipitated as arid winds dried up an inland sea. As this muddy sediment was beginning to harden, some prehistoric giant apparently walked across the drying lakebed, leaving a series of tracks made by sandaled feet. There are 13 human tracks, each track approximately 22 inches [55.8] long and from 8 to 10 inches [20.32-25.4 cm] wide. The stride is from four to five feet [121.9-152.4 cm]."—H.R. Siegler Evolution or Degeneration: Which? (1972), p. 83. Ancient Man Many scientists have proved the existence of remains of human-like creatures. Such finds constitute that giant people might have easily been our ancestors existing during the same era with gigantic creatures. |

This is what I found about giant skeletons(no internet 80' hoax here:D ):
Giant skeletons were found in the mid-1800s near Rutland and Rodman, New York. J.N. DeHart, M.D. found vertebrae "larger than those of the present type" in Wisconsin mounds in 1876. W.H.R. Lykins uncovered skull bones "of great size and thickness" in mounds of Kansas City area in 1877.
George W. Hill, M.D., dug out a skeleton "of unusual size" in a mound of Ashland County, Ohio. In 1879, a nine-foot, eight-inch skeleton was excavated from a mound near Brewersville, Indiana(Indianapolis News, Nov 10, 1975) A six foot, six inch skeleton was found in a Utah mound. This was at least a foot taller than the average Indian height in the area, and these natives- what few there were of them -were not mound builders. "A skeleton which is reported to have been of enormous dimensions" was found in a clay coffin, with a sandstone slab containing hieroglyphics, during mound explorations by a Dr everhart near Zanesville, Ohio.(American Antiquarian, v3, 1880, pg61) Ten skeletons "of both sexes and of gigantic size" were taken from a mound at Warren, Minnesota, 1883. (St. Paul Pioneer Press, May 23, 1883) A skeleton 7 feet 6 inches long was found in a massive stone structure that was likened to a temple chamber within a mound in Kanawha County, West Virginia, in 1884. (American Antiquarian, v6, 1884 133f. Cyrus Thomas, Report on Mound Explorations of the Bureau of Ethnology, 12th Annual Report, Smithsonian Bureau of Ethnology, 1890-91) A large mound near Gasterville, Pennsylvania, contained a vault in which was found a skeleton measuring 7 feet 2 inches. Inscriptions were carved on the vault. (American Antiquarian, v7, 1885, 52f) click here for full article In 1885, miners discovered the mummified remains of woman measuring 6 feet 8 inches tall holding an infant. The mummies were found in a cave behind a wall of rock in the Yosemite Valley. In Minnesota, 1888, were discovered remains of seven skeletons 7 to 8 feet tall. (St. Paul Pioneer Press, June 29, 1888) 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) The skeleton of a huge man was uncovered at the Beckley farm, Lake Koronis, Minnesota; while at Moose Island and Pine City, bones of other giants came to light. (St. Paul Globe, Aug. 12, 1896) In 1911, several red-haired mummies ranging from 6 and a half feet to 8 feet tall were discovered in a cave in Lovelock, Nevada. In February and June of 1931, large skeletons were found in the Humboldt lake bed near Lovelock, Nevada. The first of these two skeletons found measured 8 1/2 feet tall and appeared to have been wrapped in a gum-covered fabric similiar to the Egyptian manner. The second skeleton was almost 10 feet long.(Review - Miner, June 19, 1931) A 7 foot 7 inch skeleton was reported to have been found on the Friedman ranch, near Lovelock, Nevada, in 1939.(Review - Miner, Sept. 29, 1939) In 1965, a skeleton measuring 8 feet 9 inches was found buried under a rock ledge along the Holly Creek in east-central Kentucky. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: Lost Cities of North and Central America, David Hatcher Childress The Unexplained, Dr Karl P N Shuker |

(CaptainScarlet;346493) Did Giant Reptiles Share the Earth with Giant Humans?
[IMG] ummmhh! where's the body? i mean the human skeleton...??? CS....that questions has been asked for quite a few years.....it is always possible that remnants exist......I think it would great to see a brontosaurid....or a hadrosaurid.....as long as you kept out of their way.....
I think this is more likely than humans having lived back then....as incomplete as the fossil record is they would likely to have found evidence of giant humaniods......I've seen supposed "humaniod footprints" at Glen Rose.....I'm not convinced. |

i agree just cause we cant see (of found too many of) them dont mean they arent there....
http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op...owpic&pid=15564 ive been there and seen this a few times and theres another only a couple miles away on top of ST. Agnes beacon wich comes with a cornish legand http://http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/...ds/bolster.html just one of the many giant legands of us cornish hope you find the links useful as there isnt that much info on them |

I believe it's a combination of both, humans shared the world millions of years ago with the reptiles, but we are also the reason for their demise in recent times also, take a look at the crocodile and comodo dragon, they are giant reptiles which have been around for millions of years, man lives on the land so these stealth type reptiles avoided our destructive nature. The whole giant human thing there is already evidence of giants just look at the tallest man on earth, maybe there were humans 12 feet tall in which we evolved to be smaller and more efficent to hunt with speed rather than strength.

![]() I've read articles that state these Reptilians and Nephilim lived with humans. The above photo is of a number of reptilian entities found in Iraq. They are dated at 5000-4500 BC. http://www.crystalinks.com/ancientastronauts.html http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Nephilim&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8 The following link has pictures of ancient art that shows giants of some sort, aliens, and humans. |

The Australian Aborigines/Kooris have cave art of Plesiosaurs and other giant dinosaur types-such as Kultan which appears to be a two legged T-Rex type.
They also have in their legends descriptions of beings that stood higher than the biggest gumtree and that the Earth and forest shook as they walked. Giants are a FACT. |

The whole giant human thing there is already evidence of giants just look at the tallest man on earth, maybe there were humans 12 feet tall in which we evolved to be smaller and more efficient to hunt with speed rather than strength. The Komodo Dragon is actually related to the Australian Mega fauna types. We had this creature named Megalania prisca owen. This was the supposed grand-daddy of the Komodo. Except it appears it never went extinct!! Fresh tracks have been found and cast over the years. Megalania averaged 15-20 feet in length and Aborigines/Kooris claim that there were much larger types that they hunted and killed. Some of these were giants, over 30 feet in length. They also talk of giant beings, some so big that they defy logic. I have rock art photos showing some of these beings. Sightings of these 30-40 feet creatures are still being seen Below is a composite image of Megalania ![]() Page about Megalania Megalania |

Wonder why they were all sitting facing east? -------------------- Whoever said anything was possible, obviouly never tried slamming a revolving door.
