The Sardinian tradition of giants is tied to the megalithic architecture on the island. Commonalities to the North American situation are striking: a folk belief based partly on "mysterious" architecture; stories of finding the remains of giants passed down through generations or remembered from childhood; the idea that mainstream science and the government are actively suppressing the truth; and an almost absolute lack of direct physical evidence. The only purported physical evidence of the remains of giants in Sardinia that I have come across is teeth. I found four examples: two from the Forbidden History episode and two promoted by a UFO enthusiast trying to insert extraterrestrial visitors into Sardinia's prehistoric past. In the first two of these cases I discuss, it is asserted that the teeth are human, but we are not permitted to actually see the teeth in detail. Based on what is shown, the teeth do not appear to me to be human. In the other two cases, just like the "replica" of the Denisovan tooth shown by Search for the Lost Giants, the teeth don't look anything like human teeth - anyone who knows anything about teeth wouldn't mistake them for being human in thousand years. Tooth 1: Donated by an Intimidated Informant The first tooth is shown to us onForbidden History (beginning about 24:00 into the episode). The host waves the tooth around for a while, explaining that it was given to him by a farmer who refused to be interviewed because "he'd been warned off talking to us . . . we're not sure by whom or why." The farmer claims it is a giant's tooth. The screenshot to the left shows the best view we are given of the tooth. We never get to see the occlusal surface (the part of of the tooth that comes into contact with other teeth), so all we have to go are the shape and proportions of the crown and the roots and the fact that there are three roots. In the human dentition, the first and second maxillary molars (the grinding teeth on the upper jaw) are the only teeth that routinely have three roots. Sometimes mandibular molars have three roots instead of the usual two. Anyway, based on what we are shown, it appears to be unlike any human molar tooth I have ever seen. The crown appears rather tall, and the proportions and the crown and the roots just don't look right to me. I suspect anyone with a rudimentary working knowledge of comparative dental anatomy would be able to quickly identify this tooth to the family level (i.e., whether it belonged to a cow, a deer, a pig, etc.) by looking at the cusps. Maybe that's why the TV show doesn't actually let us see the occlusal surface. Tooth 2: The Testimony of a Dentist The second tooth (actually a set of teeth) is also shown to us byForbidden History (beginning about 30:00 into the episode). The host interviews a dentist who claims to have analyzed a piece of bone containing three "very big molars" reportedly recovered from one of the "giant's tombs." We are later told that the actual specimen is no longer available, having mysteriously disappeared after being given to the university in Cagliari. So we are left with the dentist's recollections and a video taken while he was analyzing the specimen. The bone fragment appears to be part of a mandible. We don't get to see the fragment with a scale (or in a good quality photograph), but the dentist states that one of these teeth was 30 mm and another was 35 mm (presumably those are mesial-distal length measurements). What we are shown of the video is so poor that it is hard to tell anything about the teeth - the light is bright and most of the detail is washed out. I messed with the contrast in Photoshop to try to bring out some of detail in the cusps of the teeth but it wasn't a great improvement. The teeth appear to be bunodont (crowns that have rounded or conical cusps), which you find in the molars of omnivores such as humans, pigs, and bears. Since we never get a good look at the cusps, it is hard to say what creature these teeth belonged to. Based on looking at some publications on European fossil pigs (such as this one) I'd say a pig is a reasonable guess. Again, it's hard to fathom why there is no single good, well-lit, scaled photo of this specimen that could be shown. If I was given a piece of evidence that I thought would change history, I'm pretty sure I'd take a picture. I'm certainly not buying this as a human jaw based on what I saw on Forbidden History. Tooth 3: Authenticated by a UFO Journalist The third tooth is touted as a "giant's tooth" on the website of UFO enthusiast Paola Harris. It's nothing of the sort: it's an animal tooth that very clearly shows a pattern of enamel ridges looping around the occlusal surface and protruding from the dentine. This is called a "lophodont" or "secodont" tooth and is found in a wide variety of herbivores, including horses, rhinos, tapirs, cows, and deer. Humans do not have these kinds of teeth. The image of the tooth I show here is cropped and adjusted to bring out the cusp pattern more clearly. I don't know exactly what creature we're looking at here, but I can tell you with 100 percent confidence that this is not a human tooth. Someone with better skills in comparative dental anatomy will be able to identify this easily from the photo. Tooth 4: Another Paola Harris Special Paola Harris' website also features a photo titled "giant jawbone" that is apparently supposed to show the jawbone of a human giant. It is part of a mandible with portions of three teeth visible. The bone and the teeth are in poor condition, but the high quality photograph makes it apparent that the specimen is not human. The morphology of what's left of the teeth suggests, again, some kind of large herbivore. The opening of this episode of Forbidden History features the host riding in helicopter in order to ask why so many ancient cultures have tales of giants. Accompanying this question is a montage of well-known fake photographs of giant skeletons that have been passed around the internet for years. That pretty much sets the tone for what follows. At one point they even show someone posing with Joe Taylor's femur sculpture. This program, like Search for the Lost Giants, could do a lot more "discovering of the truth" if it spent more money on paleontologists and less money on helicopter rides. If they wanted to identify the teeth, they certainly could have (at least the one that the host was holding in his hand). Here's a tip for all you "truth seekers" out there: learn something about your subject matter, or ask someone who already knows something. Dentists and physicians are not your best bet, either: neither typically needs to recognize and identify bones and teeth outside of the human body (why would they?), and neither usually has even basic training in how to do that. Variation in animal teeth has been studied for a long time, and there are plenty of archaeologists, anatomists, and paleontologists who know a lot about the teeth of various animals as well as the teeth of humans. These people, unlike dentists, physicians, and coroners, can recognize and identify remains that are not human because they are actually trained to first ask the question "is it human?" and equipped with practical knowledge of how to answer that question. I have nothing against farmers, journalists, TV producers, dentists, and UFO enthusiasts, but I do not trust their determinations of what's a human tooth and what's not. And neither should you. If this is the best evidence giant enthusiasts can offer for Sardinia . . . it's probably time to move on.

The Cuban Coast Guards has said that they’d captured a ghost ship heading for the island, which is acknowledged to be the SS Cotopaxi. It was gone missing 90 years from today in December 1925 and has since been associated to the tales of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. WHO IT HAPPENED?The Cuban coast guards noticed the ship on May 16, last year near a restrained navy zone, west of Havana. They made many ineffective attempts to keep in touch with the ship and its crew, and in the end when no answer was received, they mobilized three patrol boats to capture the ghost ship. WHAT WAS ON THE SHIP? When the patrol boats encircled the ship and launched a search operation on it, they were shocked to see that the ship was certainly a nearly 100-year old historical steamer acknowledged as the SS Cotopaxi, a label notably connected to the tales of the Bermuda Triangle. There no humans on board, no captain, no crew, nothing, and it was noticed that the ship was not controlled or used by anybody since ages. But it was quite sure that the steamer was a tramp freighter gone missing in 1925. WHAT HAS BEEN FOUND ON THE SHIP? The ship was all abandoned since ages and after an extensive research, they finally managed to find the Captain’s logbook. Certainly, related to the Clinch field Navigation Company, but the owners of the ship has not file any claims or event hasn’t introduced any clue regarding what occurred to the ship over the last 90 years. WHAT HAPPENED TO COTOPAXI IN 1925? It was the 29 day of November in 1925, when the SS Cotopaxi left the Charleston port in South Carolina, and directed toward Havana, Cuba. There were 32 crew members on board and were under the command of Captain W. J. Meyer, and used to be carrying a cargo to Caribbean. It was 2340 ton of coal. The ship was once defer to missing two days later, and was missing for close to 90 years and nobody even talked about the ship in past 90 years that it was found or something. The mysterious reappearance of the SS Cotopaxi has, nevertheless, already created a lot of attention in the scientific area and would push some experts to change their intellect on the field.
The original source of this information appears to be by Mr. Jean Ederman, now 49, of France, who evidently works in the field of aviation.
He claims to have been a military jet pilot, air traffic controller and airport manager, and to have a masters in economics. He also claims to have had a number of anomalous experiences since the age of six, which later included a number of UFO sightings and ET contacts.
He writes: "... after having learned how to mentally project myself to a place in the presence of benevolent extraterrestrials, I received the following message..." More than 60 years ago, excavations at the Qumran Caves revealed almost one thousand ancient scrolls that offered important glimpses into humanity’s past. Archaeologists were stumped to find one unusual text among these, a scroll that offers clues regarding the demise of the Nephilim. It is called The Book of Giants. The Bible makes several references to the Nephilim and most of them can be found in the book of Genesis. The bulk of information pertaining to these giants of old come from the apocryphal Book of Enoch. This ancient Jewish religious work is attributed to Noah’s great-grandfather, although some scholars date parts of it to around 300 BC. Enoch is a puzzling character, to say the least. The book of Genesis tells us he lived on Earth for 365 years, before being taken by God; “he walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him.” During his time down here, our planet was also inhabited by ‘angels’ who interacted freely with humans, eventually interbreeding with the “daughters of man” and giving birth to a race of unnaturally strong and giant hybrids called the Nephilim. The origin of the word “Nephilim”isn’t fully understood but scholars have proposed several etymologies: “the fallen”, “apostates”, or “those that cause others to fall down.” Regardless of their name, the Nephilim have always been a synonym for giants. The Book of Giants found in the Qumran Caves offer a perspective that is different from that of the Book of Enoch. Although incomplete, the scroll fragments paint a grim picture: the Nephilim become aware that, as a result of their violent and deviant ways, they face imminent destruction—and that scares them enough to ask Enoch to speak on their behalf in front of God. The text begins by detailing how the Nephilim plagued the Earth and all that lived on it. But once they all start receiving prophetic dreams of doom, fear seeps into their hearts. The first one to have these dreams was Mahway, the titan son of the angel Barakel. In his dream, he saw a tablet being submerged in water. When the tabled emerges, all but three names have been washed away. This symbolizes the Flood and subsequent destruction of all but Noah’s sons. At the time, this fact had not become obvious to the Nephilim so they debated the meaning of Mahway’s dream, but were unsuccessful in interpreting the signs. Soon after, two more giants, Ohya and Hahya, the sons of the fallen angel Shemyaza, begin having similar dreams; they dreamed of a tree being uprooted except for three of its roots. Following this, the rest of the group of giants began having apocalyptic dreams: There upon two of them had dreams and the sleep of their eye fled from them, and they arose and came to […and told] their dreams, and said in the assembly of [their comrades] the monsters […In] my dream I was watching this very night [and there was a garden…] gardeners and they were watering […two hundred trees and] large shoots came out of their root […] all the water, and the fire burned all [the garden…] They found the giants to tell them the dream…” The giants now realize the prophetic nature of their dreams and seek help from Enoch. Unfortunately, Enoch had already disappeared from the face of the Earth so the Nephilim elected one of their members to undertake a cosmic journey in order to find him. [Mahway] mounted up in the air like strong winds, and flew with his hands like eagles […he left behind] the inhabited world and passed over Desolation, the great desert […]and Enoch saw him and hailed him, and Mahway said to him […] hither and thither a second time to Mahway […]The giants await your words, and all the monsters of the earth. If […]has been carried […] from the days of […]their […] and they would be added […] we would know from you their meaning […] two hundred trees that from heaven came down…” Unfortunately, parts of the scrolls were damaged beyond repair but the general direction of the text is obvious. One of the Nephilim traveled outside of Earth in search of Enoch and his vision interpreting powers. The text becomes very interesting if we substitute a few terms and regard it not as an allegorical account, but the description of a real event whose meaning became muddled over time. If we consider flying “with his hands like eagles” a metaphor, can we hypothesize that Mahway took off from Earth in a space ship? In this case, does “Desolation, the great desert” refer to interstellar space? It depends on how far we’re willing to interpret a fragmentary, 2,000 year-old scroll but ancient alien theorists do more than just take it at face value. Enoch sends Mahway back where he came from, promising him he will speak to God on their behalf. Unfortunately for the Nephilim, the tablets Enoch sent them as a response did not bring good news: The scribe Enoch […] a copy of the second tablet that [Enoch] sent in the very hand of Enoch the noted scribe […In the name of God the great] and holy one, to Shemyaza and all [his companions…] Let it be known to you that not […] and the things you have done, and that your wives […] they and their sons and the wives of [their sons] by your licentiousness on the earth, and there has been upon you […and the land is crying out] and complaining about you and the deeds of your children […] the harm that you have done to it. […] Until Raphael arrives, behold, destruction [is coming, a great flood, and it will destroy all living things] and whatever is in the deserts and the seas. And the meaning of the matter […] upon you for evil. But now, loosen the bonds bi[nding you to evil…] and pray.” Whether they prayed or not, the text cannot say. But they don’t appear to be here anymore, once again proving the effectiveness of a global flood. Below is a trailer of "Attach on Titan". The return of the Nephelims to Earth. WATCH NEXT: Just a few days ago, the production company released the first trailer for the asteroid disaster movie "Greenland" but suddenly the trailer has been removed at the request of the studio and now it's gone everywhere. The story: "They got it all wrong. There's a ton of fragments! Planet killers…" Whoaaa! How about some apocalyptic disaster action to make things even scarier nowadays? The first trailer has debuted for an action movie titled Greenland, the latest from stuntman turned director Ric Roman Waugh (Shot Caller, Angel Has Fallen). The mega disaster in the film involves a comet breaking into pieces, and these pieces striking Earth causing complete devastation. Ufologist claims ‘global intelligence’ covering up EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE on Earth for ‘decades’11/8/2021 A transnational intelligence conspiracy has been keeping the public in the dark over extraterrestrial visits for decades, an ufologist told RT claiming that 43% of Americans believe in contacts with non-human civilizations.
The perplexing footage, which was uploaded a few days ago by a delivery driver who goes by the name @theonenamedlucca on TikTok, shows what looks like a straw broom floating around 40ft in the air above the road.
Resembling a typical witch's broomstick like something you might expect to find in a Harry Potter movie, the peculiar object seems to sit motionless and with no visible means of propulsion or support. The driver even gets out of his vehicle, showing that it is not simply stuck to the windshield. He has also since emphasized that the footage has not been edited or doctored in any way.
So what exactly is going on in the clip - is there really a broomstick hovering in the air or is it an optical illusion of some kind ? Alternatively, could the whole thing be a clever hoax ?
There really is no way to know for sure what the truth of the matter is from the video alone - broomsticks don't just hover in the sky, so either it's a trick of some kind or the footage has been doctored using computer software. Either way, it's certainly intriguing and as of writing, the clip has been viewed over 8 million times.
A document stores in the CIA's electronic reading room describes what happened when the KGB took down a UFO with a surface to air missiles. The object was extraterrestrial and retaliation ensued. A man named Quisto, living in a small village near Berlin, Germany found a usb stick with a strange symbol carved into it on a parking lot near the so-called "Steintor". UPDATE - USB stick found with astonishing videos of planets and UFOs in space A meticulous analysis of Ancient Egyptian history and study of archaeological evidence indicate that there were two sphinxes located at the Giza plateau near the Pyramids, argues a researcher who has spent more than a decade searching for the lost “second” Sphinx. “Have you ever seen just one Sphinx in later Egypt that didn’t have another? Not only did the ancient Egyptians mention the second Sphinx, but so did the Greeks, Romans, and Muslims. It was destroyed between 1,000 and 1,200 AD.” Covered by tons of stone and sand, well hidden under the Giza plateau lies one of the greatest mysteries of ancient Egypt. The Second Sphinx of Giza, an ancient monument that accompanied the one still standing today. It seems to have disappeared under strange circumstances, but not without leaving us with details that suggest it was as real as the Great Sphinx standing guard near the pyramids today. This isn’t something an author came up with, but it’s what Bassam El Shammaa thinks, an Egyptologist and scholar who has been tracking the lost Sphinx for more than a decade. But based on what does he think there was a SECOND Sphinx at the Giza plateau? Well, first of all, when you think about the ancient history of Egypt, and the Sphinxes that have been found across Egypt, you always find evidence of duality, and that all other sphinxes found in Egypt come in pairs, so the fact that the Sphinx at the Giza plateau is alone can be considered as an anomaly. And this is exactly what El Shammaa thinks as the idea of two sphinxes existing is more in line with ancient Egyptian beliefs, which were mostly based on duality. But the entire evidence isn’t based just on that fact. Anyway, in order to come to this controversial conclusion, throughout his years of work El Shammaa has obtained innumerable ancient texts, archaeological data and even an unusual satellite image satellite taken by NASA that seems to corroborate his hypothesis. “Every time we have to deal with the solar cult, we should discuss of one lion and one lioness facing each other, posing parallel to each other or sitting in a back-to-back position,” says El Shammaa. The Egyptologist points towards the Egyptian creation myth, where the almighty Atum gives birth to his son Shu and his daughter Tefnut, curiously, in the form of a lion and lioness. The controversial expert also points out the Dream Stela, believed to have been carved by Thutmosis IV and located between the paws of the Great Sphinx which clearly depicted two sphinxes. So the second Sphinx of Giza may have been carved in the form of a lioness. But…what happened to the monument? El Shammaa believes powerful lightning struck the Lioness millennia ago and destroyed it. According to the researcher, the definitive documentary evidence is found in the Pyramid texts. There, we can read in the words of the creator god Tuna “I was with two, now I am with one”. Something terrible must have happened. The theory of the Second Sphinx not only has documentary evidence based on the analysis of the texts and the iconographic representations of the ancient Egyptians. Bassam has also provided material evidence from NASA’s most up-to-date photographic analysis. Thanks to the SIR-C / X-SAR photographic study of the American Aerospace Agency, it has been possible to analyze the density of the geological layers that make up the ground and the monuments of the Giza plateau. Well, with this photograph (below) we can actually see that in the area where Bassam said his the second Sphinx was located, there really was a structure that NASA colored in yellow. “This signal,” Bassam explains, “is usually received in the form of pulses of a given wavelength ranging from 1 centimeter to 1 meter and corresponding to a frequency range of about 300 MHz up to 30 GHz. “It produced echoes which become digital information that is then projected onto an image. This is composed of numerous points or pictographic elements, each of which represents a specific place scanned on the ground by the radar. In the case of my working hypothesis, they correspond to the remains of the Second Sphinx.” “The Endeavor Satellite image released by NASA just above the Pyramids Plateau confirmed the discovery. “But it makes a lot of sense that lightning could have damaged the Sphinx due to the fact the monument was often depicted with a double metal crown that must have conducted the shock to the neck,” stated El Shammaa. The Pyramids of Giza predate the mysterious utterances recovered at Saqqara but the lion deities are predynastic and the construction of the pyramids must have been inspired by those mythological figures which had always appeared in duo. Archaeologist Michael Poe seems to agree with El Shamma, as he is also convinced there was a SECOND Sphinx at Giza. Poe argues that there is no evidence of Khafre ‘repairing’ the Great Sphinx and that there are ancient texts that corroborate his theory. Poe wrote: “There is currently absolutely no archaeological evidence of Khafre ‘repairing’ the Sphinx. There are two ancient Egyptian references, both during the Middle Kingdom, at a considerably later time. “One has it that Khafre found the Sphinx (which would support the Sphinx is older than Khafre), and that Khafre altered its face. “This same source (fragmentary papyrus) states that there was another Sphinx facing this one on the other side of the River Nile, and both of the monuments were constructed here to represent the dividing line between Northern and Southern Egypt. The other reference said that Khephren built the Sphinx.” “Have you ever seen only one Sphinx in later Egypt that didn’t have another? Not only did the ancient Egyptians mention the second Sphinx, but so did the Greeks, Romans, and Muslims. It was destroyed between 1,000 and 1,200 AD.” “At the access to buildings and temples there are two Sphinxes, side by side, but on the avenue or approach to the temple, they are facing each other. At times they may have as much as 100 or so facing each other in the avenue. “The Nile is Egypt’s Avenue, and it divides the North and South. Countless ancient writings about the two Sphinxes suggest that they were facing one another. “The second one, by the way, was partly demolished during a high Nile flood, and then completely destroyed by ensuing Moslems carting it off to rebuild their villages,” concluded Poe. And as we keep digging we find more evidence of a possible second Sphinx. Authors Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval also seem to agree about a second Sphinx existing at the Giza plateau and in their book The Message of the Sphinx, they maintain that the Sphinx was made to represent Atum-Harmachis. After having demonstrated on paper this suggestive possibility thanks to an exhaustive research work that has taken more than a decade, the only thing left for El Shammaa is to obtain an excavation permit that will help him demonstrate, whether or not there is another Sphinx next to the Great Sphinx of Giza more than 5,000 years ago. |
