You have to ignore facts like this to believe this stuff.
"Oh giants!" And suddenly people's brains turn off.
To get access to the Smithsonian vaults you have to: * sign up as a volunteer (or give credentials as a reseracher) * take training on your area * volunteer on a regular basis for about 6 months. * ask "may I look at" and tell them what you want to see. You'll see it. I am speaking from experience. I work as a volunteer at a large museum. I did get to see the paleo lab at the Smithsonian last week. If I'd volunteered there or had a degree in paleontology (Masters' or better) I could have gone through channels and gotten back into the collection to look at bones. And, for the record, I'm considering doing that next year, to look for something that I want to write a paper about.

Just to throw it out there since we had giant mammals up until the last glacial period why not giant humans? many ancient cultures had solar calendars of 360 days length. Is it possible that the earth's rotational speed has changed significantly thus affecting specific gravity? This would make moving such stones easier as they would have actually weighed less than they presently do.
Maybe all the nephilim and Nibiru stories have something to them. There does seem to be evidence of cataclysmic changes on Earth in our past.

That should tell us something important as no modern humans have any such dental structure.
What?
childrensdentistry: Help! My kid has two rows of teeth!

" their child’s permanent teeth are growing in but their baby teeth are not falling out."
that is not at all the same as adults having two complete rows of permanent teeth

Actually, only the people talking about giants with double rows of teeth say this.
the arrows bound in the claw of an eagle on the back of a $1 bill are an Iroquois symbol. 1 arrow is easy to break. 5 arrows bound together, not so easy.
the US, i suppose, not one to underplay things, went for 13!
That's for the 13 colonies of the original United States.

I have heard this before. It's not true. Can you tell me which ones?
ETA: Doesn't mean giants did not exist. Just is not a valid proof.edit on 27-11-2012 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)
From the Mayans to Babylonia to the Summarians have used a 360 day calendar. It's how the defined their months that were unique. They had to account for the short period (Roman calendar used an added day every 4 years). the early Babylonians calculated that they needed to add an extra month three times every eight years.

The fact is - in the past religion dictated and did not allow scientists to speak or their findings to be the truth, now a bunch of scientists called 'Main Stream Scientists' are unwilling to accept anything out of their theories - even if evidence has been found, somewhere the measures used may be wrong.. but hey it needs an explanation for the sake of it, so forget anything different.

Interesting stuff.
I think it's a bit funny that he's talking about ancient civilizations building these things, but then points out how the fronts of the caves/other parts line up perfectly with the equinox Sun...today.
Someone's gotta fill these guys in on the Precessional cycle.

While I found this interesting, I did some googling of Tuatha de Danaan and I believe you may be relating the ancient god like race incorrectly to giant-ism. According to physical descriptions I've been able to find they were not giant but averaged in height between 5'3" and 7'. They did share a lot of the other physical descriptions you mentioned though and they did fight with giants called Fomorians at some point. Although further investigation of Fomorians leads me to believe they are not the giants people may in fact find in Ireland as they are believed to have goat heads or are ugly looking for the most part with few exceptions.
