The Truth About Ancient Giants & the Smithsonian | Jim Vieira

from Megalithic Marvels · host Derek Olson

What if the stories and legends concerning ancient giants are more than just myth—and what if some of the evidence was quietly hidden? In this episode I sit down with Jim Vieira, author of the new book "Footprints of the Gods: Extra Digits and the Mark of Giants" to explore the controversial claims surrounding giant skeleton discoveries and the role of the Smithsonian Institution, including allegations of a long-standing coverup. Separating documented history from speculation, we dive into the ancient legends, historical accounts, and the unanswered questions that continue to fuel this mystery. Is there a giant cover-up?
