The Secrets of Lovelock Cave: Uncovering the Truth about Giants

Join us in this captivating episode as we delve into the mysterious legend of the Lovelock Giants. According to the Paiute tribe in Nevada, these giants were a formidable race defeated by their ancestors. The discovery of Lovelock Cave in 1912 and subsequent excavations in 1924 revealed thousands of artifacts, including astonishingly large human remains measuring between 8 to 10 feet tall.

But the story doesn't end there. Giants have been mentioned in various ancient cultures, from Indian mythology to the Old Testament and Sumerian texts. Could there be a connection? Some believe that the Anunnaki, an extraterrestrial race from the planet Nibiru, interbred with humans to create a new slave race.

While evidence of giants has been found all over the world, these discoveries remain largely unknown and hidden from public view. In fact, the Smithsonian Institution has faced accusations of covering up the existence of giants and suppressing knowledge of advanced ancient civilizations in the Americas.

However, skepticism and hoaxes have also surrounded claims of giant skeletons, making it challenging to separate fact from fiction. Mainstream science and media often criticize and marginalize alternative theories and evidence, hindering the exploration of alternate history.

Join us as we navigate through the intriguing world of giants, uncovering hidden truths and challenging the status quo. Are giants merely myth or is there more to the story? Tune in to find out!

Original Show Notes

In 1886, mining engineer John T. Reid was told the Paiute legend

of a giant people defeated by the natives near Lovelock, Nevada. The last of the giants met their fiery end deep within the bowels of a cave.


Reid’s belief in this legend stirred great interest in the secrets held within Lovelock Cave.


Official excavations were undertaken in both 1912 and 1924 by the University of California, with reports telling of thousands of artifacts being recovered. Of these artifacts, the most puzzling were human remains. Well, they were *almost* human.


Skeletons measuring between eight and ten feet tall were said to be found during the dig. Skeletons belonging to who are now known as “The Lovelock Giants.”


Legends of people of enormous size are told across a myriad of cultures, And despite what we’ve been told by *mainstream* science, there *is* evidence to suggest they really existed. The remains of giants have been found all over the United States; and all over the world.


So why aren’t these amazing finds on display in any museum? Or taught in any classes? Or mentioned in any history books?


Because the existence of giants, for some reason, has been covered up.
