Giant Axes and Hammers Baffle the Experts

Now, assuming for a moment that these pictures are genuine and not photoshopped, then we're left with a problem. Or rather, several problems.

The first is, obvious, as the article points out, that sixty pound sledge hammers would be difficult for average humans to wield:

"A 60-pound sledge hammer would look like this and be impossible for us to wield. Yet, such a hammer (64 pounds) was found in Great Orme Mines in Wales. It is extrapolated that such a being would need to be 12-15 feet tall to wield that safely and efficiently."

Readers of my books will recall that in Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men, I delved a great deal into the various legends from around the world about human tribal memories of the "Gigantomachy", the wars of humans with humanoid giants. Most academic approaches, which I attempted to review in that book, stress that what the ancients were doing were simply finding the bones of large dinosaurs and extrapolating from them that they belonged to the giants of their lore and traditions. As I pointed out there, however, this requires a certain assumption that the ancients were simply incapable of distinguishing between the bones of dead animals from those of dead "large humanoids."

But tools such as this are quite another matter. As are ancient "Minoan" and "Cretan" battle axes. Then we have "the Finland Swords Problem", and again, I am assuming these pictures are not photoshopped and that the implied scale of objects depicted (a "normal" sized Viking sword is really normal sized, and the compared sword is therefore extraordinarily large, as the article avers):

"These swords above were found in Finland by some metal detecting enthusiasts, along with a body that was fairly well preserved. He was buried with a Viking era sword (the small one) and this enormous sword of unknown origin...."

The article draws this conclusion, however:

"Conclusion
"It would appear that ancient man was either very ambitious in the design of some of his implements which would not be ergonomically feasible, or these gigantic implements were not made by Homo sapiens. Considering the amount of work that went into making these implements, frivolous reasons seem to be low on the list."(Emphasis added)

This, however, is perhaps an unmerited assumption. Clearly, if genuine, these implements were made by some sort of humanoid, either some lost "genetic cousin" in the genus homo, or by some earlier and taller version of homo sapiens. The stories of discoveries of giant bodies abound in the alternative research field, and the real question for me is why no attempt has been made (or at least publicly admitted to!) to do DNA testing on these creatures. (My strong suspicion is that such tests have probably been done, secretly, and are a currently closely held secret for what they might reveal).
But what really caught my eye in this short article was this statement:

"A pyramidal structure found in the Ecuadorian jungle revealed some interesting finds such as this -

"Source: Scattered around the area were a great many artefacts of stone and of pottery (seemingly now all stolen in recent months). Many of these objects appeared to be stone tools that could have been used either in mining or refining some kind of metal ore. Amongst these tools are some that would be extremely difficult for a normal size human being to use in any practical fashion, this has led to a strong suspicion that this is one of the legendary lost cities of the giants, well known in local Ecuadorian legends about the Amazonian area, such places generate great fear among the members of today’s jungle tribes as they are believed to be protected either by spirit guardians or by beings not of this world." (Boldface emphasis added)

Pyramidal structures of megalithic construction and "super-sized" large tools found in the area and same context? If true, that raises the stakes considerably, for it would seem to connect at least one set of pyramidal structures with the lore and legends of giants. And that lore and legendary association in almost all human traditions is a lore of a "gigantomachy," a "war with the giants," a "cosmic war" if one reads the Greek version with its planetary and astrological associations with Saturn (Kronos) in mind. Funny thing, too: Saturn has a "curiously artificial-looking Moon" called Iapetus, Mars, named for the God of War in many cultures (Aires, Hercules, Errakal, Nergal), has what appears to be pyramids scattered on its surface. Dr Tom Van Flandern revived the 19th century idea of an exploded planet as the origin of the asteroid belt. A planet (also)he believed may have been solid, of much larger mass than the Earth, and water bearing. If that planet was home to intelligent life, then under those gravitational circumstances, perhaps that planet was home to very large humanoid life.

Bottom line: Large tools capable of being wielded effectively by people 12-15' tall? Then perhaps it is time to start taking those ancient stories and traditions seriously, and to quit thinking our ancesters were - per the modern academic approach - so stupid as to not be able to tell the difference between dinosaur bones and human ones, and that they did not confabulate them into a "mythology," but rather, that the mythology was attempting to preserve a key part of human history.
See you on the flip side...

Joseph P. Farrell has a doctorate in patristics from the University of Oxford, and pursues research in physics, alternative history and science, and "strange stuff". His book The Giza DeathStar, for which the Giza Community is named, was published in the spring of 2002, and was his first venture into "alternative history and science".

Source: Apparently, these are the largest stone tools yet found and there have been many huge ones around the world. Who wielded these, do you suppose?

These ones (above) were found in a lake bed in Botswana from between 10,000 to 250,000 years ago!

Ancient Minoan and Cretan axes - whoa!



Source: Giant Hand-Axe from Sheringham, Norfolk. An altogether remarkable and gigantic hand-axe, discovered embedded in the beach below Beeston Hill, Sheringham, by Mr. J. P. T. Burchell, has been figured and described by Mr. J. Reid Moir (Proc. Prehistoric Soc. East Anglia, 7, Pt. 3). The implement measures in its greatest length 15J inches, in greatest width 6J inches, in greatest thickness 5J inches. Its weight is approximately 14 lb. It was derived originally from the base of the Cromer Forest bed, which rests upon the surface of the chalk. The implementiferous bed runs in beneath the Forest Bed strata and the glacial deposits which form the cliff, some 200 ft. in height. The material of the axe is of flint, the colour of the flaked surfaces being jet black. The ridges and outstanding parts are abraded, and it is striated in places. There is a small area of the cortex remaining, which shows a ferruginous staining. It is a specimen of the ‘platessiform’ type, that is, rhom-boidal in section in the anterior portion and showing the remains of both the dorsal and ventral planes or platforms of the rostro-carinate stage. In two other specimens cited for purposes of comparison, coming from East and West Runton, one is clearly of the “‘platessiform’ type, but the ventral plane is partly transformed into a cutting edge, while the second is equally clearly of the ‘batiform’ type, in which the section through the anterior portion is triangular in section, the lower angles of the triangle representing the cutting edges. Hand-axes showing these characteristics have been discovered not only in England but also widely distributed over the earth’s surface. The numerous specimens discovered in the basement bed, belonging to the early Pleistocene epoch, are as highly specialised as are those of any later prehistoric period and represent a very definite and necessary stage in implemental development. No adequate explanation of the purpose which the gigantic size of the Sheringham axe could serve has been offered.

Many explorers have gone into the jungles around this area and failed to return – it is certainly known to be dangerous to enter for the foolhardy traveller. Even the most expert explorers have vanished without trace in the hunt for lost cities and the supposed existence of immense treasures to be found.



These swords above were found in Finland by some metal detecting enthusiasts, along with a body that was fairly well preserved. He was buried with a Viking era sword (the small one) and this enormous sword of unknown origin....

Conclusion

It would appear that ancient man was either very ambitious in the design of some of his implements which would not be ergonomically feasible, or these gigantic implements were not made by Homo sapiens. Considering the amount of work that went into making these implements, frivolous reasons seem to be low on the list.

So, who made them and what were they like? What did we as Homo sapiens learn about making swords, axes and hammers, mining and building with stone from this previous form of man? Perhaps we should start looking at some "inferior" forms of megalithic structures and tools and see if perhaps that was Homo sapiens formative years of imitating the creators/masters? Eventually, we should be able to know who to credit for amazing finds - the local Native people or the originators.
