There is I have heard a complication arising in the form of a certain religious sect that is alleged to have faked or creatively misidentified some "giant" and other finds to lend credence to their holy texts. True or not, it casts doubt on the matter.

Another complication is that skeletons apparently get spread out quite a bit, while seeming to lay complete, meaning that as discovered in the ground, the discoverer may have measured them at six and a half to seven feet, but that when properly reconstructed they turned out to be a fairly ordinary 5'10"

The more you get into the subject though, the more "vested interests" you find trying to make finds fit their theories or beliefs. It's quite a maze. There's often new groups piling into the field as well, trying to prove their pet theories.

There was a find in this part of the world, that if not cooked up, creatively or otherwise misidentified, might have been interesting to us. But as it is, the trail is long cold, the bones have disappeared and you'd have to fight viking settlement theorists, atlantean theorists, alien origin theorists, north american templar theorists, and a whole whack of religious groups to lay intellectual if not actual claim to them. Provided of course that some wealthy proponent of any of these causes hasn't managed to buy up the evidence for his personal collection.

the one paper by george henry harris, states, that while digging the erie canal, on sam truesdales farm, that skeletons were found under century old trees, and were found and measured in situ and that was the measurement stated..........read pages 9-15 when ya get a chance

I know I posted alot, but there is a lot of good info there, not from 10 or 20 years ago, but 200 years ago.........and you are right, they(the bones)
are no where to be found today.........

The reason they do this wolftrax is simple. They cannot rely on facts as there are none to buttress their arguments.

It's all just smoke and mirrors with plenty of bluster.
