What do you think about this?
In March 1974, a farmer plowing a field on the island of Sardinia struck stone. What they had hit turned out to be a buried army of giants. Over the years that followed, archaeologists pulled more than ten thousand fragments from that ground and pieced together dozens of towering statues, warriors, archers, and boxers, some standing well over seven feet tall, with strange round eyes carved as double circles.
They are around three thousand years old, among the oldest large stone statues in the western Mediterranean, made by the mysterious Nuragic people who left no written language behind. And here is the part that nags at me. Someone, long ago, deliberately smashed these giants to pieces and buried them.
Could it be that a forgotten civilization carved a race of stone giants to guard their dead, and then a later hand tried to erase them?
Toppled idols, the spoils of a war we have no record of, or something stranger? What do you think the giants of Mont’e Prama were meant to be?
What do you think about this? In 1891, a poor French priest named Bérenger Saunière began tearing up his church floor, then spent the next two decades funding lavish buildings on a stipend that should not have covered it. Real treasure, or a secret about how he ran his church?
What do you think about this? The Georgia Guidestones were commissioned anonymously in 1979 by a man calling himself R.C. Christian, and no one ever learned his real name before the monument was bombed on July 6, 2022. Message, or a monument that did not deserve to stand?
What do you think about this? Pacifica’s Devil’s Slide has swallowed sections of Highway 1 since 1937, and a WWII watch bunker still perched on its cliff edge has sat abandoned there since 1949. Geology, or a stretch of coast that keeps trying to shrug people off?
What do you think about this? On November 24, 1971, a hijacker calling himself Dan Cooper parachuted from a Boeing 727 with 200,000 dollars and vanished. In 1980, a boy found 5,800 dollars of that exact cash along the Columbia River. Survived, or never told a soul?
What do you think about this? On September 12, 2023, researcher Jaime Maussan presented two small, elongated bodies to Mexico’s Congress, calling them non-human. Scientists who studied similar specimens found them manufactured. Hoax, or evidence a government put on the record?
What do you think about this? At age two, James Leininger began describing a WWII plane crash in detail, and researchers later matched his account to pilot James Huston Jr, killed near Iwo Jima in 1945. Coincidence, or memory that should not exist?
