Zaginiona rasa gigantów

by Patrick Chouinard, Ewa Morycińska-Dzius (Translator)

ACzy giganci rządzili kiedyś Ziemią?

Sensacyjne znaleziska potwierdzające istnienie zapomnianej złotej ery gigantów

Najnowsze rewelacyjne dowody istnienia prawdziwej rasy gigantów!


W mitach i legendach odległych kultur pojawiają się jakże podobne opowieści o gigantach. Najczęściej uważano je za wytwór fantazji autorów starożytnych lub za prymitywne próby wyjaśnienia naturalnych zjawisk. Jednak w ostatnich latach niemal na każdym kontynencie archeolodzy znajdują kości istot mierzących 3-3,5 metra wzrostu...
• Czyje gigantyczne szkielety wykopano na pustyniach Arabii Saudyjskiej, Afganistanu i Indii?
• Kogo opisywali w swoich relacjach o spotkaniach z gigantami słynni XVI-wieczni odkrywcy: Magellan, sir Francis Drake i de Soto?
• Jak to możliwe, że gigantyczne mumie odnalezione na terenach USA dokładnie odpowiadają indiańskim podaniom o rudowłosych gigantach?
• I dlaczego wiele z tych odkryć zatajono?


PATRICK CHOUINARD to pisarz, dziennikarz, redaktor naczelny pisma „The New Archeological Review”, producent amerykańskiego programu Archeology TV. W tej książce ujawnia sensacyjne odkrycia i bada mity z całego świata. Obok greckich, rzymskich i nordyckich analizuje hinduskie podania o Dajtjach, biblijne o Nefilim, celtyckie legendy o Formorach, sumeryjskie o Anunnaki. I znajduje dowody istnienia gigantów – prawdziwej ziemskiej rasy. Wyjaśnia, jak jej przedstawiciele weszli w konflikt z pozaziemskimi bogami, którzy stworzyli ludzkość do niewolniczej pracy. I tłumaczy, jak giganci przekazali ludziom swoją wyrafinowaną kulturę i cywilizację, zanim zostali unicestwieni w epoce globalnych kataklizmów…

Very interesting read... not from a Biblical perspective which I originally thought when I first started reading this book, but there is a lot of interesting myths and legends about Giants throughout the world and they seem to be all very similar ...

As long as I can remember I have had a fascination with Giants. They were real! From the Bible to Norse Deities to Gigantopithecus and Meganthropus the author dives deep into the history of the Giants and they're tales. They were all over from Europe to North America, Atlantis and they're destruction during the great flood. There are accounts of these Giants in mythology and numerous 19th century newspapers. Seven, eight, nine and even up to eighteen feet tall. Some with armor, swords, crowns, copper bracelets, red hair, dark hair, double rows of teeth, the whole gambit. The fossil record supports these claims. For some reason the Smithsonian and others have suppressed these finds. If you are a history buff, you must read this book. It's time you realized the truth of our past is very cloudy and a lost race of these Giants existed on this planet. As mentioned above, one of my favorite topics!

This book summarises the "lost race of giants" in mythological and cultural histories through out the world. It also briefly covers some of the giant skeleton findings and excavations. I really wish there was more information included in this book and some photos/diagrams would have been nice. There was nothing "new" or that I hadn't read before somewhere else. I really like Patrick Chouinard's writing style - there isn't any redundant repetitiveness and no pointless waffling. I would consider this an introductory text to the Lost Race of Giants, but if you have read other material on this subject, this book offers nothing new.

I'm giving this boom 3 stars because I enjoyed roaming the many WHAT IFs. I can't say that I consider this well researched, but it certainly seems well curated and, as such, entertains. There's quite a bit of swagger in here, quite a bit that is presented and proof and evidence when it clearly isn't. Still, the mythology is there, the religious texts are there, fairytales are there ... it is an interesting world to think into - what if all of that wasn't just people trying to make sense of the world with stories and metaphors, what if there actually had been a race of giants? Everything that's presented as proof ... well, nice try, but again I didn't mind - great fun either way.

I have a few nitpicks about this book, though.

First of all, on page 3, the author writes that Carl Sagan "made a heroic appeal on behalf of Velikovsky." This is the same Carl Sagan that attacked Velikovsky's theories and even mocked Velikovsky's theories in the first version of the TV series "Cosmos."

On page 92, the author comes close to stating what is the biggest problem with "Ancient Astronaut" theories. After talking about how Atlanteans taught the remaining humans about technology, he asks: "Where did the Atlanteans and Lemurians get *their* technology?"

On page 179, the author wrote: "[Aristotle] was highly regarded as n intellect of supreme quality and measure, perhaps rivaling Plato in this regard." It is generally acknowledged that Aristotle's theories about physics and biology set science back about half a millennium. (For instance, Aristotle said that heavier objects fell faster. It wasn't until Galileo tried this out that anyone had any doubts.)

And one thing that seemed to come up over the course of the book is the variety of heights of the giants, meaning there probably wasn't "a race" of giants, so much as "several races" of giants.

[Jason Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book I'd typical of its genre. The theories are intriguing, but evidence is always just out of reach. I want to believe in ancient civilizations, but at some point I need more than hearsay and speculation. This book was not as much about giants as you would think. more about prehistory before the cataclysm.

A slog.

[Graham Bear · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very interesting book. I couldn't put it down. A fascinating look at the cover-up's regarding the human family. Giant humans and giant Sloths , Giant bears and giant Sabre tooth Tigers definitely existed. Somehow academia doesn't like this fact. Giant humans are a fact. Very readable.

good read

lots of speculation but interesting. when can we take an honest look at the lost civilizations of this planet and our place on it
