The Complete Guide To Mysterious Beings - Galaksija

Diaz del Castillo tells how the Spanish conqueror Captain Cortez shipped the thigh bones of a giant
back to the king of Spain.
”They said that their ancestors had told them that in times past there had lived among them men and
women of giant size with huge bones,” Castillo stated, ”and because they were a very bad people of
evil manners they fought with them and killed them and those which remained had died off. So that
we could see how high and tall these people were, they brought us the leg bone of one which was
very thick and the height of a man of ordinary stature and that was the bone from hip to knee. We
were all amazed at seeing these bones and felt sure that there must have been giants in this country.
Our Captain Cortez said to us that it might be well to send the bone to Castile so that his Majesty
might see it, so we sent it with the first of our agents who went there.”
Maybe the giants migrated to the impenetrable jungles of Brazil. On May 16, 1966, the London
Daily Mirror reported:
A ferocious band of savages more than seven feet tall are terrorizing neighbouring tribes in
the Amazon jungle.
The existance of the savages was revealed by a group of Brazilian air cadets who went on a
course of adventure-training in the jungle.
According to the cadets, the giants are known locally as the Krem-Akarore.
Peace-loving tribes of Indians on reservations in the Xingu region of the Matto Grasso live
in terror of them.
The cadets said they tried to make contact with the giants – but failed.
Members of the friendly Calapalos tribe living on the reservation told the cadets that their
tribe had captured a small Krem-Akarore boy who grew to be nearly seven and a half feet
tall.
But he became so strong and rebellious as he grew up that he was condemned to death by
the chief and executed.
Three Britons plan an expedition next year to the area in which the giants live, to study
different types of Indians.
The Britons, members of an Anglo-Brazilian scientific reconnaissance group, are Alistair
Mackenzie, Ian Bishop and David Hunt. They are already on their way to the Amazon basin.
As so often happens in these odd stories, the rest is silence.
In Italy archaeologists were baffled by the discovery of the bones of fifty tall men in the spring of
1969. Workmen excavating a factory site at Terracina, sixty miles south of Rome, uncovered fifty
tiled coffins which bore neither inscriptions nor designs. Each coffin contained the bones of a man
measuring from six to seven feet tall – very tall by Roman standards.
State archaeologist Dr. Luigi Cavallucci examined the remains and said they were all apparently
between the ages of thirty-five and forty. Their teeth, he noted, were in unusually good condition,
with little indication of decay. The date this mass burial took place was not immediately determined.
The only theory was that the tall men had been picked members of a special Roman military force
and had all died in battle. However, this idea was disputed because it was the practice to bury
warriors in full armor, with all the trappings. There was nothing in the coffins except the bones. So
the mystery remains. Where did fifty men from six to seven feet tall originate? How did they die,
and why did they all share a common grave?
