Synopsis

A study of the substantial evidence for a former race of giants in North America and its 150-year suppression by the Smithsonian Institution

• Shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been found, particularly in the Mississippi Valley, as well as the ruins of the giants’ cities

• Explores 400 years of giant finds, including newspaper articles, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports

• Reveals the Stonehenge-era megalithic burial complex on Catalina Island with over 4,000 giant skeletons, including kings more than 9 feet tall

• Includes more than 100 rare photographs and illustrations of the lost evidence

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.

Goodreads review by John Stubler on January 23, 2016

Excellent research!! The author of this book has gone to great lengths to research old newspapers and journals proving one thing - that a race of giants inhabited America prior to the modern day native Indians. These giants stood 6' to 10' tall, were Caucasian, some had red hair and some had blonde.......more

Goodreads review by Kyle on March 23, 2014

-Free review copy courtesy of Inner Traditions/Bear & Company I have always been fascinated with the stories of the Giants that once walked the earth. The men of great renown, the Nephilim. Whether it was biblical accounts, Greek or Norse legends, the stories have always consumed me. Why was I not ta......more

Goodreads review by Nick on April 27, 2020

Wow! This book knocked my socks off! It chronicles through local newspapers the finding of ancient giant burial mounds all across the United States, and what was contained in those burial mounds. Fascinating, and a vital part of history, yet no one knows about it or is talking about it. Strange! Lot......more

Goodreads review by Mike on August 13, 2020

This book is interesting but somewhat problematic. I am a firm believer that we know relatively little about Pre-Columbian North America. The ruins in the Southwest and the remnants of the mound builders are evidence of this. There is plenty of evidence that there may have been interactions between......more

Goodreads review by Valiant on April 19, 2017

One of the best and most comprehensive books on the ancient Mound Builders of North America. This is the book I recommend for interested people new to the subject. Broad, well written, solid sourcing, good photos, and cogent analysis, it was a pleasure to read and very informative. A key topic I was......more


Quotes

“This is the most comprehensive and level approach to the subject of giant humanoids in Earth’s past to have ever been published. The most appealing aspect is that Dewhurst has collected a vast array of primary sources and presents them here. Reading one newspaper discovery after another of giant skeletons and artifacts is perhaps the most compelling reason to question the standard lines we are given about humanity’s origins. When coupled with his persuasive theories explaining why the Smithsonian would actively cover up such discoveries, you have one valuable and entertaining read! Highly recommended.”

“Giants in ancient America? You bet! It’s all here in Richard Dewhurst’s fabulous book. Extensively illustrated and chronicled with firsthand accounts from early 19th- and 20th-century news clippings, this book will shatter the mainstream academic teachings that continue to ignore and cover up the role giants played in early American history.”

“At last, a comprehensive sourcebook that demystifies the giants of ancient America. Lavishly illustrated, this goliath and gutsy book delivers an unprecedented wealth of information on the great mound builders. Dewhurst digs deeper than the rest. Don’t miss it.”

“I don’t say this lightly, but of all the nonfiction books I have on my precious shelf space, this book actually has its own little stand so I can gaze at it. I’ve highlighted nearly every page and dog-earred many and hope to use these references in future hypotheses I will present about this amazing and unexplainable race of giants. Thank you, Dewhurst, for such an amazing and laboriously loving research into what I consider one of the single most important anthropological puzzles man has ever tackled.”

The Ancient Giants who Ruled America is a treasure trove for alternative history and archaeology buffs…This book was an eye-opener, both in its subject matter and also the amount of reporting that Mr. Dewhurst was able to hunt down, covering nearly 400 years.”
