The Giants of Catalina Island | Prehistoric Mysteries on California's Channel Islands

Support us on Patreon: / megalithomania . A new documentary exploring the mysteries of Santa Catalina Island. The islands have turned up hundreds of controversial discoveries; not only giant skeletons, but a prehistoric stone circle, incredibly ancient carbon dating and evidence of historic red and blond-haired islanders. Thousands of giant skeletons, artifacts, and evidence of occupation going back as far as 9,000 years have been scientifically recorded on the Islands, with human occupation possibly dating as far back as 30,000 years ago. The story is intriguing and controversial, and it stars amateur archaeologist Ralph Glidden and his bizarre museum on Catalina Island, but a few years before that, a German Naturalist got the story going in 1913. Dr. A. W. Furstenan unearthed an 8 foot skeleton with artifacts such as mortar and pestles and arrow heads on Catalina. He was told of a legend while in Mexico of a giant and noble race that lived on the Island that existed long before the white man and had since vanished. The film features Hugh Newman and Jim Vieira, authors of 'Giants On Record', ancient symbolism researcher Jj Ainsworth and Native American islander Mason Sanchez Lassos, member of the Tongva Gabrielino Tribe.

I use to bow hunt on this island in the 1970's. Mostly on the North side of the island. There was a lot of Spanish Goats, wild boars, dove and rattle snakes. And a lot of cactus and costal cliffs. In the middle island there was buffalo brought there by a film maker in the early 1900's. And on the South Island it was more grassy with many deer. It was a good place to scuba dive too with some ship wrecks and a place called the wall. It got very hot in the summer but me and some friends always went every year for a adventure and good time. There was some guides that use to drive us around the island and we flew there by sea plane that landed in the middle inlet where the guides would pick us up and take us to some make shift tent like camps with a fire pit for cooking. I have seen some rock drawings too and old camp like sites.

Historically, Darwin's theory of evolution, by natural selection does not agree that these tall blond hair, blue eyed Indians existed, through his evolution process. Darwin's theory as it is written, allows for the natural selection and disposal of such, being that it does not agree with Darwin's Theory, Therefore; Society has the right to disposal of the Blond haired Indians and allows their non-existance. In my view, Darwin's Theory is "HOG WASH", and should have never been adopted by the science community as fact. Now, as a result these Aztec/Mexican/Spanish indigenous Indians think they have the right to remove and destroy the evidence of these beautiful blond haired tall Indians, That have existed for over 30 thousand years according to carbon dating. These Beautiful Tall blond, blue eyed Indians were here on Catalina Island and the other surrounding Islands, before any other race, period. Basically, this is called discrimination in the highest degree, when one race insists the Tall blond hair, blue eyed race does not exist. Sounds like Hitler, saying that the Jews don't exist under Darwin's theory. Therefore; they can be ruled under law, to be removed forever, because they don't fit in, according to the indigenous Indian's and Darwin's theory. This is the argument! Also, Ralph Glidden was NOT recognized as an Archeologist and therefore his finding's were removed from the Smithsonian and discredited!

I am surprised people would think that giants couldn't exist. The Earth used to be much different, much more full of life, more air more CO2, more atmosphere perhaps, massive creatures we can only try to imagine, from fossils, etc.. Just makes sense to me, that where so many and so much life evolved then, "people" with our two legged form, some would have had to be large, to compete. Others small who could hide. Its' odd to me anyway, that people can not even imagine life before, with "human" appearing life forms.

[@CloudTribe]

You're right we had giant armadillos, giant slothes bigger than Grizzly bears, we had giant manatees the size of whales. Giant Cats, Dogs, Giant flightless birds, Mammoths which were larger than Elephants. And most of the creatures only went extinct in the last couple thousand years. Most ancient human lore across a lot of cultures talks about giants, or some big foot type of humanoid creature and evolutionarily speaking theirs a good chance at least one would exist. Especially in resource rich places in north and south america.

[@thetruthchannel349]

Its very similar to the stone circles found in the Golan Heights. Odd, since Old Testament texts claim that Joshua and his men drove Giants out of the Levant and there are references that indicate that some fled by sea and some fled north. Then 2000 years later you have Diodorus the Roman historian documenting encounters with Roman battalions and Giants in what is now Germany, parts of Britannia and Sardinia. Then you have Native American oral traditions and Peruvian legends that BOTH date the arrival of long necked, cone headed giants to the Americas 3,000 years ago. When you see a pattern of information like this you're looking at something that actually happened.

[@chrisbarriere101]

Having grown up in Santa Barbara, I’ve heard all the stories about this. We used to take school trips out to the Channel Islands for various reasons as as a youth. The Santa Barbara natural history museum has about six large skeletons in the basement, the biggest of which is about 12 feet tall. Typically these are identified as Homo Erectus. However The problem with this identification is that they unanimously been found in complex burial mounds surrounded by typical size bodies and the grave culture is extremely complex. We find elaborate seashell mosaics held with beach tar onto Mamoth tusk. We see intricate and complex jewelry necklaces and it’s interesting because we’re told that these are found in around the older Chumash and Tongva cultural centers , which tends to indicate that these would be the ancestors of those people. So if you look at the Tongva language it is strikingly similar to certain Polynesian languages. Polynesians typically have a lot higher body height and it would seem that these giant individuals may have been ancestors of some of the large Pacific Islanders That we find Today

Giants are real. They roamed the earth and terrorized mankind before the flood. And their DNA was passed down through Ham's wife to Canaan, and Canaan was the name given to the land of the giants in the Bible. They are among us today, their latent DNA carried by humans, while some purer breeds still stalk the remote places of the earth, making meals out of lost hikers and kidnapped children. The so-called aliens are just fallen angels appearing to each man in the form that is most acceptable to the human witness. For some, they are aliens like the greys; for others, they are ghosts of dead relatives; for others they are dog-men, sasquatch, or moth-man; for others, angels, religious images, or Mary. Ezekiel's "spacecraft" is a spiritual being, not a machine. But demons and devils will appear in a machine if that's what they think will deceive the human witness to their appearance. #blessings #trustJesus

Catalina used to be attached to California, the area of San Pedro and Palos Verdes. There’s vegetation only in those areas that isn’t found anywhere else in California.

[@TSideWes805]

Polynesians went to south America, so it's logical we went to the coast of California as well. Matter of fact, the chumash have a similar name for their canoe as well, calling it tomolo'o similar to kumula'au Hawaiian for canoe. The construction is similar as well.

[@tamasklozer3271]

I was surprised because I thought that the native people of the Channel Islands belonged to the Chumashan language family. The Gabrielinos however spoke a Uto-Aztecan language.

[@TSideWes805]

The chumash even have some Polynesian loan words. They call their canoes tomolo'o, which resonates with the Hawaiian word kumula'au..

[@sbcap3809]

Tomol, didn’t have extra “o’s”. Santa Catalina had a different group of inhabitants than Santa Cruz. One thing common though, the old tribal maintain, from what I was told by the old tribal Chumash, that they came from Santa Cruz Island. Since the Navy sanitized, San Clemente, San Nicolas, and used San Miguel, a place where Juan Cabrillo might lie buried, as practice bombing runs up in til the late 1970’s, I don’t think we will find much, unless deeply buried on any of those islands, except the ones which were privately held, (Santa Cruz, parts of Santa Rosa, Santa Catalina), except Santa Rosa, the one with the most interesting findings, which had a Nike Cold War base on the SW side of the Island.

[@TSideWes805]

Sbcap you have to realize that the chumash had localized dialects depending where they're located, e.g. purisimeño, barbareño, etc. Each band had their own version of the chumash an languages, and it only makes sense that the coastal chumash had been visited by the Polynesian voyagers. The sewn plank canoes they utilized to go to and from the channel islands were some of the most advanced boat designs of the new world. Guess who else had such technology, that's right, the Polynesians. Keep in mind they also went to south America.

[@toatauga2659]

This one is teaching story about spiritual mindset about living things, cooperation, working together with nature & not just cutting trees down for instance, to make room for colonizer stuff, is part of why. Ships hit the east coast & started deforestation... They went after metals & rock out west first.
