Leading from
and
In 2015, an interesting series grabbed my interests on History channel, about two brothers quest to search for the remains of giants, after thousands of reports from the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century of skeletons of giants often from eight to ten feet being discovered buried or sealed in caves, and they made an attempt to hunt down evidence. While all of it was very exciting, one thing that I thought was rather strange was that they discovered there was also a curse that effected many people who went in search of the remains of giants and one of their party was hit by the something of that nature.
b) Lincolnation/Aliencoln Part 2
In the TV series, it also mentions that Abraham Lincoln mentions in his notes from a trip to Niagara and so it seems that he had an interest in giants whose bones filled the mounds who must have gazed upon the Niagara although in the same paragraph he appeared to be talking about mammoths and mastodons gazing upon the Niagara. Did Lincoln wish to differentiate between the bones found in the mounds and the bones of Mammoths and Mastodons, and should we assume that the bones of those animals were found in mounds rather than giants. The series also suggested that he visited the mounds of Louisiana where the bones of giants had been found
