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? On January 20, 1996, three young women in Varginha, Brazil, saw a four foot creature with oily skin and red eyes crouched by a wall. The army was in town that morning. A policeman said to have handled it died a month later. Cover story, or Brazil’s Roswell?
What do you think about this? In 1800 settlers at Conneaut, Ohio, opened a four acre burial ground in rows and reported skeletons over seven feet, jaws that fit over a man’s face, double rows of teeth. The graves were plowed under within a generation. Tall tale, or a people buried twice?
What do you think about this? The Iron Pillar of Delhi is six tons of forged iron from around 400 AD. It has stood outside through 1,600 years of monsoons and never rusted, thanks to a protective film from phosphorus rich iron nobody made again. Lucky recipe, or knowledge lost on purpose?
What do you think about this? North Sea trawlers pull up mammoth teeth, flint tools and a carved harpoon from 120 feet deep. Until 8,000 years ago that seabed was Doggerland, a forested land the size of Britain, drowned by rising seas and a tsunami. The lost land of every old story?
What do you think about this? In 1974 a Florida family found a polished 22 pound steel ball in burned brush. It hummed when a guitar played, rolled across rooms on its own and changed direction. Navy X rays showed objects inside, origin unknown. Valve ball, or something that landed?
What do you think about this? The Whaley House in San Diego was built in 1857 where a man was slowly hanged five years earlier. A baby and a daughter later died inside. Visitors report footsteps in empty rooms and a pressure on the throat where the gallows stood. Old house, or long memory?
