I continue to plead with people to search deep within themselves and ask, What If Everything You Were Ever Taught Was A Lie? Bryce Cuellar, a man who has allegedly survived multiple assassination attempts by the illuminati said:

“One of the biggest cover-ups of all time is the cover-up of mans history.”

 

IN THIS POST I PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING:

1. Begin by demonstrating to the reader that the history we’ve all been taught is patently false. Modern archeology is proving that almost everything we’ve been taught is not only false, but in most cases it is flat out absurd, yet the history books still continue to print the lies. 

2. Next, I will attempt to explain who is responsible for this grave injustice perpetrated on humanity.

3. Third, I plan to propose several more plausible explanations to histories mysteries than the lies we’ve all been fed. At first, they may seem farfetched, but they are NO MORE farfetched than the explanation that longhaired cavemen in loin cloths who hadn’t even discovered the wheel yet were able to construct buildings so magnificent that modern man, even with all our technology cannot duplicate even today.

4. Finally, one of those explanations will detail the Smithsonian’s role in the largest cover-up in human history, one that began long ago, and one that is very much alive and well today. My former post titled, 74 NASA Scientists Dead: Largest Cover-up In Human History Continuesalso looks at the giant cover-up from a different perspective. 

 

WHAT YOU’VE BEEN TAUGHT IS A LIE!

To begin, it shocks me that when people see things like Ten Mysterious Ancient Civilizations Modern Science Cannot Explain, or 5 Shockingly Advanced Ancient Buildings That Should Not Be Possible, how they do not question why the “establishment” continues the lie, and persists in indoctrinating us and our children with sheer nonsense? How can I be certain it’s nonsense?

In my recent post titled, Egypt’s Great Pyramid at Giza Not Oldest Pyramid on Earth Anymore, I discuss how Dr. Semir Osmanagić and his TEAM of over 200 INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENTISTS have spent over 400,000 MAN-HOURS in archeological excavation, sample testing, and radiocarbon dating at the site, and determined the FIVE pyramids and the elaborate underground system of tunnels and labyrinths beneath them have been in existence for roughly 30,000 years.

Bosnia

This recent discovery blows the doors off conventional teachings. Simply put, if we are to believe the “establishment’s” teaching, then we are supposed to believe that a civilization that predates the wheel by 20,000+ years somehow created the largest megalithic pyramid on Earth that has survived 30,000 years by dumb luck and with no assistance? PLEASE! That doesn’t even come close to passing the laugh test. It’s time people face reality, open their minds, and accept the evidence that long extinct, highly advanced civilizations, have preceded our own – maybe more than once. Once that fact is accepted, the next logical question is who is covering up the truth and why?

The following video take a look at the nonsense we’ve been fed and picks it apart. The numbers don’t lie in this fact-based critical look at the (im)possibility that the megalithic structures around the world were built by the primitive people “the establishment” and modern science insists created them.

Megaliths and Monoliths

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIES?

The “establishment” goes by many names: The Bilderberg’s, the Banksters, the Freemasons, the Illuminati, and I could go on. It’s not important what you call them. What is important, is that you realize that those who withhold information, seek to be master over those whom they keep the information from.

The following video explains who the “establishment” is. Conspiracy theorists say they are the puppet masters that control the highest echelons of society from finance to music. Rumored to have occult satanic connections, secret ties to the gold trade, a dark mysterious hidden agenda and a plan for a new world order, these real families are some of the richest families in the world. In documentary form, these are the top facts on the families Rothschild, Rockefeller, Du Pont, Morgan and Bush. The following video explains who the Five Most Powerful Families That Secretly Control The World are…

5 Most Powerful Families That Secretly Control The World

WHAT MIGHT BE THE TRUTH?

Those who have made even the most modest inquiry into ancient history, know that virtually EVERY ancient civilization has stories of giants that once walked upon the earth. Genesis 6 in the King James Bible says:

1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3. And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Wikipedia reports:

There are also accounts of giants in the Old Testament, most famously Goliath, Og King of Bashan, the Nephilim, the Anakim, and the giants of Egypt mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:23. Attributed to them are extraordinary strength and physical proportions.

Wikipedia also reports:

In Greek mythology, the Giants or Gigantes (Greek: Γίγαντες, Gigantes, singular Gigas) were a race of great strength and aggression, though not necessarily of great size, known for the Gigantomachy (Gigantomachia), their battle with the Olympian gods.[2] According to Hesiod, the Giants were the offspring of Gaia (Earth), born from the blood that fell when Uranus (Sky) was castrated by their Titan son Cronus.

These giants are NOT myth. Over the last hundred years or more, physical remains of these giants, known in the bible as the Nephilim, have been actually found. Whatever your religious background or inclinations are, or lack there of, across the globe and on every continent remains of this lost species have been found, and then covered up. In the video below, Steve Quayle guest stars on Hagmann and Hagmann to discuss his book Genesis 6 Giants.

In Genesis 6 Giants, Steve Quayle writes: 

What if everything you had been taught about ancient history turned out to be 90% false? What if you found out that the myths and legends of old were based on voluminous archeological and skeletal finds that detail an alternate explanation and filled in the question marks and gaps in explaining “true” history?

Genesis 6 Giants provides you with the key to unlocking prehistory and ancient history and will make your question who keeps the truth hidden and why! Giants of superhuman strength, wisdom and cunning have littered the field of mythology and ancient civilizations. They are responsible for technology and evil, unimaginable by con contemporary man. The great architecture, temples and cities all owe their construction, celestial coordinates and massiveness to their influences.

For over 30 years I have been researching and investigating the influence and relevance of these “supernatural hybrids” known as Giants. It has become apparent to me and many others, through innumerable artifacts and historic records that an organized effort has been underway to conceal the reality of giants and their place in history. Most of the evidence, especially skeletal remains, that question the history status quo, conveniently disappear. Scholars; superficial explanations are not convincing when held up to the scrutiny of that which has preceded us. Their creed has been and remains to be “Don’t confuse me with facts and evidence as my mind has already been made up for me!”

The agenda of the Secret Societies, the Global Elites, or the New World Order, whatever you want to call them is one that is not in line with the teachings of the Bible. God never advocated population control but Satan does, therefore, if giants are real, then the luciferian agenda of the illuminati, which includes a push for this secular one world religion, must work all the harder to conceal the truth.

GIANTS ARE VERY REAL!

FORBIDDEN ARCHEOLOGY REPORTS:

Here’s yet another update to “Forbidden Archeology” in America:

Forbidden 1

Here’s one for your “Forbidden Archaeology” file.Scientists are remaining stubbornly silent about a lost race of giants found in burial mounds near Lake Delavan, Wisconsin, in May 1912. The dig site at Lake Delavan was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds that proved to be classic examples of 8th century Woodland Culture. But the enormous size of the skeletons and elongated skulls found in May 1912 did not fit very neatly into anyone’s concept of a textbook standard. They were enormous. These were not average human beings.

Strange Skulls

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 and freakish 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 believed due to longer than normal life span.

“One must wonder how much can they lift if twice the size of a average human today? Are these the Giants the Bible & many other civilizations have in their history and painted on their walls. The Bible in Genisis 6:4 ” There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old men of renown. ” Now this is faulty logic to any scientist out there because I am using religious/cultural history to fill a hole in science.

HERE LIES THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION:

In the video below, mysterious remains of giant human skeletons unearthed. Are Nephilim real? These discoveries are always the same, the skeletal remains of some giant bones were dug up and a photo with someone standing next to what appears to be an unbelievably large human skeleton. Skeptics immediately dismiss all of these as just being fake, just another hoax. As some of the photos have been revealed as just that…a cleverly photo-shopped fake image.

Since the late 1800′s there have been countless newspaper articles reporting discoveries of giant human remains being found all over the world.

18 strange skeletons found Wisconsin, Giant Skull dug up in San Antonio Texas, Giant bones found in NY, as well as similar findings in Austin, Texas, Los Angeles, Boston and the list goes on. So if any of these were real… then why aren’t there any of these fossils in museums?

As numerous comments claim that the bones given to the Smithsonian were all “mysteriously lost” before they could be put on display.

Giant Human Skeleton Discovered

Over 200 Giant digs have been found in recent years. Giant skeleton finds have not made the local/national news since the 1950’s for the most part. It seems in most peoples opinion do to the fear that people would question evolution . If anything a de-evolution.

In 2002, National Geographic reported a dozen Cyclops skeletons found in Greece that stood 12-15 1/2 Ft tall. That is 3 humans tall. One eye socket. Giants in history are typically cannibalistic in nature. The reason why I am bringing up giants will all tie into politics, and word happenings. Look at a basketball hoop and add 5 feet. That tall. Greek Mythology talks about war with cyclops learning they had to bring down by taking out their legs rendering them slow and helpless. American Giants (Red Hair Giants) where found with Egyptian writing on their tombs have been found in multiple locations.

Mystery of The Wisconsin Giants

Was this some sort of prank, a hoax played by local farm boys or a demented taxidermist for fun and the attention of the press? The answer is no.

The Lake Delavan find of May 1912 was only one of dozens and dozens of similar finds that were reported in local newspapers from 1851 forward to the present day. It was not even the first set of giant skeletons found in Wisconsin.

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. “Madison was in ancient days the centre of a teeming population numbering not less than 200,000,” the Times said. The excavators found an elaborate system of defensive works which they named Fort Aztalan.

“The celebrated mounds of Ohio and Indiana can bear no comparison, either in size, design or the skill displayed in their construction with these gigantic and mysterious monuments of earth — erected we know not by whom, and for what purpose we can only conjecture,” said the Times.

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.”

Giant skulls and skeletons of a race of “Goliath’s” 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, and their burial sites are similar to the well-known mounds of the Mound Builder people.

The spectrum of Mound builder history spans a period of more than 5,000 years (from 3400 BCE to the 16th CE), a period greater than the history of Ancient Egypt and all of its dynasties.

There is a “prevailing scholarly consensus” that we have an adequate historical understanding of the peoples who lived in North America during this period. However, the long record of anomalous finds like those at Lake Delavan suggests otherwise.

The Great Smithsonian Cover-Up

Has there been a giant cover-up? Why aren’t there public displays of gigantic Native American skeletons at natural history museums?

The skeletons of some Mound Builders are certainly on display. There is a wonderful exhibit, for example, at the Aztalan State Park where one may see the skeleton of a “Princess of Aztalan” in the museum.

But the skeletons placed on display are normal-sized, and according to some sources, the skeletons of giants have been covered up.

Specifically, the Smithsonian Institution has been accused of making a deliberate effort to hide the “telling of the bones” and to keep the giant skeletons locked away.

In the words of Vine Deloria, a Native American author and professor of law:

“Modern day archeology and anthropology have nearly sealed the door on our imaginations, broadly interpreting the North American past as devoid of anything unusual in the way of great cultures characterized by a people of unusual demeanor. The great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the nineteenth century Smithsonian Institution, created a one-way portal, through which uncounted bones have been spirited. This door and the contents of its vault are virtually sealed off to anyone, but government officials. Among these bones may lay answers not even sought by these officials concerning the deep past.”

Two Giant Skeletons Near Potosi, WI

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.

Giant Skeleton Discovered in Maple Creek, WI

On December 20th, 1897 the New York Times reported that three large burial mounds had been discovered near Maple Creek, WI. 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

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. More about this can be found in Washington County Paranormal: A Wisconsin Legend Trip by local author and investigator J. Nathan Couch.

While a normal-sized skeleton of a supposed mound builder (the “Princess of Aztalan”) is on display at the site of several large pyramidal monuments near Madison called Aztalan State Park, the Goliath remains of Wisconsin’s giants have vanished along with the hundreds of others discovered throughout the midwest.

Many have accused the Smithsonian Institution of covering up these discoveries, locking the giant skeletons away and depriving the public of their findings.

The ignorant will buy into the whole global warming/population control agenda because they have been force fed this garbage their whole lives and are no longer capable of critical thinking.

For those that think the world is over populated due to food and energy shortages, you need to understand that the multi-national corporations create these shortages by forcing farmers not to grow, limiting development of new technologies etc., all to manipulate prices for their own gain. God never advocated population control but Satan does.

Drawing on 400 years of newspaper articles and photos, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports, Richard J. Dewhurst reveals not only that North America was once ruled by an advanced race of giants but also that the Smithsonian has been actively suppressing the physical evidence for nearly 150 years. He shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been unearthed at Mound Builder sites across the continent, only to disappear from the historical record. He examines other concealed giant discoveries, such as the giant mummies found in Spirit Cave, Nevada, wrapped in fine textiles and dating to 8000 BCE; the hundreds of red-haired bog mummies found at sinkhole “cenotes” on the west coast of Florida and dating to 7500 BCE; and the ruins of the giants’ cities with populations in excess of 100,000 in Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Louisiana. 

Dewhurst shows how this suppression began shortly after the Civil War and transformed into an outright cover-up in 1879 when Major John Wesley Powell was appointed Smithsonian director, launching a strict pro-evolution, pro-Manifest Destiny agenda. He also reveals the 1920s’ discovery on Catalina Island of a megalithic burial complex with 6,000 years of continuous burials and over 4,000 skeletons, including a succession of kings and queens, some more than 9 feet tall–the evidence for which is hidden in the restricted-access evidence rooms at the Smithsonian.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE: THE ‘BLACK HOLE’

6000years.org reports:

And as we go through a few more of these reports from homespun researchers and historians, think about this:

1) There had been Giants living all over the world, according to the Bible, but despite that fact…

2) the Smithsonian Institute, National Geographic, the Discovery Channel (et al) and any of the ‘officially sanctioned’ archeological expedition teams…between the whole lot of them…have supposedly not been able to cough up one single solitary bone fragment, fossil, or artifact that would evidence these Nephilim.

Has the (elite-controlled) academic mainstream covered something up?

There are a number of these reports about discoveries of the remains of human giants. Keep in mind, numerous times these findings were turned over to ‘government authorities’, particularly to the Smithsonian, by conscientious and well-meaning citizens…only to have these artifacts then disappear permanently. This first report is a good example of that:

Well-known zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson (a frequent guest on Johnny Carson’s TONIGHT SHOW in the 1960s–usually with exotic animals) reported that in 1944 (during World War II), an army engineer with whom he corresponded told of how his crew had been bulldozing through sedimentary rock when it stumbled upon what appeared to be a graveyard. In it were crania that measured from 22 to 24 inches from base to crown nearly three times as large as an adult human skull.

Had the humans to which these skulls belonged been properly proportioned, they undoubtedly would have been at least 12 feet tall or taller. He delivered the evidence to the Smithsonian Institute….where it was never heard nor seen again.  Sanderson was quite puzzled by this and later wrote: “…is it that these people cannot face rewriting all the textbooks?”.

There are reports regarding the Smithsonian Institute receiving extraordinary artifacts and evidence of this nature from dutiful citizens who thought they were handing over their findings to the highest and most reliable authorities…only to realize later that Smithsonian had made it all ‘disappear’.  Hollywood has even made a veiled (snickering?) reference to this bizarre trend: Recall the famous Smithsonian warehouse scene at the end of the Indiana Jones movie.

 

ONE THING IS CERTAIN: WE ARE BEING FED LIES. 

WHAT DO THE GLOBAL ELITES KNOW THAT WE DO NOT?

    • Believing that Obama is the Antichist is plausible, however, I will wait until scripture is fulfilled about him being assasinated (shot); dies; and then miraculously comes back to life, THEN I will believe he is the Antichrist.

      • Obama is not the antichrist!

        • Watch out for floydhowardjr.
          He’s a paid Obama shill. Don’t follow him.

        • If he were, he would be a lot more popular.

  • good article. I’ve been enjoying your recent posts. You’ve been writing about fascinating topics, lately.

  • The idea that a massive pyramid pre-dates the invention of the wheel by tens of thousands of years is indeed hilarious, but that seems more of a reason to laugh at Osmanagić, not at the historians who have theories about when the wheel was invented.

    • No need for the 400,000 hours they’ve spent I guess. They could have just asked you.

      You obviously missed the MUCH larger picture. i.e. the measurements of the pyramid, where it is, how it lines up with True North… all things they NEVER could have determined… with or without your wheel.

      Like the Great Pyramid, and how they knew the exact number of miles from the capstone to the sun. Odd don’t you think considering we didn’t know the earth went around the sun for a few thousand years?

      Ah… nevermind. Must be the wheel that told them. Keep drinking the kool aid.

      • I was just laughing at “if what this one guy and his team says is true, then our understanding of the world becomes hilariously inaccurate, therefore everyone else is wrong“.

        Enjoy your Osmanagić-brand koolaid, you’re clearly getting a smug high from it.

  • some people think the story was made-up for ‘crowd control’ purposes and its really a hoax depends on your upbriinging and belief system

  • he is not the antichrist – he is just a very naughty boy :)

    • “truthordare
      he is not the antichrist – he is just a very naughty boy :)

      Watch out, truthordare is a paid Leftist Radical.
      They’re demonics paid by Obama.
      Obama’s the Antichrist: PERIOD.
      That’s clear! He has all the traits from the Mark of the Beast 666 to all the rest.
      Next subject….

  • HOW HEALTHY could man be, how tall might he grow, and how long might he live, if he were given the best of conditions? What is the true potential of human life? Ellen White writes, “As Adam came forth from the hand of his Creator he was of noble height and of beautiful symmetry. He was more than twice as tall as men now living upon the earth, and was well proportioned.” —The Story of Redemption, p. 21.

    “Not with standing the wickedness of the antediluvian world, that age was not, as has often been supposed, an era of ignorance and barbarism. The people were granted the opportunity of reaching a high standard of moral and intellectual attainment. . . . Could illustrious scholars of our time be placed in contrast with men of the same age who lived before the Flood, they would appear as greatly inferior in mental as in physical strength. As the years of man have decreased, and his physical strength has diminished, so his mental capacities have lessened. There are men who now apply themselves to study during a period of from twenty to fifty years, and the world is filled with admiration of their attainments. But how limited are these acquirements in comparison with those of men whose mental and physical powers were developing for centuries.” —Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 82, 83.

    What about the level of technology before the Flood? “There perished in the Flood greater inventions of art and human skill than the world knows of to day”—The SDA Bible Commentary, Ellen G. White Comments, on Gen. 6:4, p. 1089. The servant of God adds, “More was lost in the Flood, in many ways, than men today know.”

  • We think of the present-day proliferation in areas of invention, knowledge, and technology as resulting from centuries of accumulated bits and pieces gained from hundreds of thousands of discoveries and works contributed by countless individuals. Each of these persons had a productive life “of from twenty to fifty years.” But think what it must have been like in a time when lives spanned nearly a thousand years, and no one ever forgot what he once heard or saw! “It is true that the people of modern times have the benefit of the attainments of their predecessors. The men of masterly minds, who planned and studied and wrote, have left their work for those who follow. But even in this respect, and so far as merely human knowledge is concerned, how much greater the advantages of the men of that olden time! . . . The antediluvians were without books, they had no written records; but with their great physical and mental vigor, they had strong memories, able to grasp and to retain that which was communicated to them, and in turn to transmit it unimpaired to their posterity. And for hundreds of years there were seven generations living upon the earth contemporaneously, having the opportunity of consulting together and profiting each by the knowledge and experience of all.” —Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 83.

    The potential for such life boggles the mind—the opportunity to live through ten consecutive lifetimes! How much important history has occurred in the past 900 years! What would it have been to live through it all? How much we could learn, and how much life we could savor, with that much longevity and the health and vigor to accompany it!
