LOST RACE OF THE
GIANTS
The fact that the red-haired giants of pre-Columbian America introduced agriculture to our continent is an established, if generally unrecognized, archaeological fact. No one tells their story better than Patrick Chouinard.

FOREWORD
GIANTS AND THE SEARCH FOR HIGHER INTELLIGENCE
PAUL VON WARD
Over the last few decades millions of people have begun to realize that our academic history books are filled with holes and patched with misleading conclusions based on flimsy evidence. The human story programmed into the minds of todays high school and college graduates is now being proven false in very fundamental ways.
Ironically, scholars in our major research and scientific institutions whose roles include discovering the true story of our past have not initiated these revelations. Instead, the intellectual movement to more accurately reconstruct ancient history has been led by independent, interdisciplinary scholars such as Erich von Dniken, the late Zecharia Sitchin, and a growing number of othersincluding Patrick Chouinard. Books by these authors focus on discoveries that reveal gaps in standard history books. They also reexamine the academic assertion that ancient texts must be seen as myths or metaphors instead of descriptions of real events. Chouinards scholarly evaluation of new and old discoveries turns so-called myths into historical narratives.
Books based largely on intuition about the myth of a lost Atlantean era in the human past are often as mystical as the legend itself. In this book, however, Chouinard presents tangible evidence to help fill the Atlantis gapperhaps one hundred thousand years or morein the documented history of Earth and its humanoid inhabitants.
This book is significant for seekers, skeptics, and believers because it grounds many legends and myths in real-world events, providing authentication of the tales about giants. The evidence that giants were historical beings is proof that many ancient texts must now be seen as valid, if partial, historical documents. Chouinards investigations mean we can no longer view Hebrew, Christian, Islamic, or other religious documents referring to giants of old as divine descriptions of other realms. Neither can we label Greek and Roman legends of Titans as fantasy created by writers who wished to glorify the birth of their cultures as something unique.
The following chapters make it clear that large flesh-and-blood humanoids are an integral part of the human evolutionary trajectory on planet Earth. Based on the ancient texts mentioned above, one can reasonably postulate that giants were a transitional genetic link between nonhumans and some subspecies of Homo sapiens.
To place Chouinards important contribution within the bigger picture of human evolution, I propose an up-to-date, twenty-first-century view of our origins and the sweep of human history. This history includes what I call the advanced being intervention theory (ABIT). ABIT postulates an intervention of human history by beings with physical, technological, social, and psychological levels of development advanced far beyond our human abilities.
Historical accounts from all cultures describe beings who came from the skies or the waters, or even from other dimensions. Some were very much like humans, while others had animal or other forms never before seen on Earth. For these reasons they were called devas in Sanskrit, which means beings from the skies or heavens. After they ceased public contact with humans, humans called them gods and began to worship them mentally, rather than actually bowing before a more powerful physical ruler. Due to the many different names given such beings, I use the generic term advanced beings or ABs. In my view, the giants discussed in this book are not ABs, but, like humans, they are hybrids between Earth-seeded species and more advanced species from other locations in our universe. However, they are an important part of the human development story on Earth.
The ABIT is supported by evidence in plain sightbut wrongly identifiedin hundreds of books and thousands of academic papers available in brick-and-mortar libraries as well as online. Many describe a time when ABs from the skies descended to Earth. Most describe these ABs as fighting among themselves even as they became involved in the development of humans and their cultures. This involvement included genetic input in Earth species, but ABs also provided us with valuable assistance.
For example, the Enma Eli, the Babylonian creation myth, identifies ABs Apsu and Tiamat. Chinese myths say AB Pan Ku instructed early humans about the universe. An Apache account claims AB Hactein created human beings. Similar themes are found among artifacts in Egypt, India, Japan, and practically every other culture on the globe.
Many Sumerian, Hindu, and Hebrew texts report human interactions with advanced beings. These include the Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi library, and Gnostic Gospels. An excellent analysis prepared by my colleague Roger Voss illustrates the quality of such information found in the oldest publicly available version of the Paleo-Hebrew Torah. Voss shows that just over two thousand years ago, Hebrew scribes still acknowledged advanced beings. For instance, Deuteronomy 10:17 states, For Yahweh your GodHe is God of the Elohim, and Lord of the lords; God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful. The names Yahweh, Lord, lords, God, and Elohim all refer to real-life ABs in both singular and plural forms. Later versions of Hebrew texts were redacted to distort these facts.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Many people who are open to Chouinards race of giants hypothesis believe that all the evidence comes from texts like those described above. We know that written documents are often difficult to interpret or can be edited to suggest whatever a person desires. However, the above texts have internally consistent, plausible accounts corroborated by physical artifacts.
As an example, a collection of fossilized humanoid teeth (dating to 100,000 BP) that indicate a larger bone architecture (9.5 feet tall) than Homo sapiens sapiens has captured the attention of open-minded scientists. Evidence points to the time period when the fossil record and DNA projections suggest Homo sapiens sapiens appeared. This research suggests that the giants may be the progeny of crossbreeding between ABs and the Earth genus Homo. This mixing of genes may have occurred naturally through sexual intercourse or, considering the technologically advanced capabilities of the ABs, even through genetic engineering (in vivo and in vitro gene-splicing of AB characteristics into Homo host cells). This correlation gives credence to biblical accounts of human-giant interactions.
There are numerous examples of contacts between humans and giants from prehistoric times into the modern era, including: mummies of Caucasoid humans in western China, measuring 6.5 feet in length and dating to 7000 BP; male and female mummies and skeletons of larger stature discovered in Nevada, found among artifacts dating to 10,000 BP; and sixteenth-century Spanish ship logs detailing the capture and death of 10-foot-tall humanoids.
