You know, people were five, five, five, six or something, or maybe smaller. And so that like a seven foot tall person or something within the realm of possibility for us today would seem like a giant.
But I don't, you know, yeah, I think that these people are talking about like eight, nine, 10 feet tall, maybe taller people. uh yeah i think they were speaking literally yeah and uh every culture has stories of giants around the world i don't think these and it's not just giants i mean it's all these different things that have been explained away as myth and legend

Drew from Ushua to Cuevos de los Manos. It's a cave out there. You see famous pictures of it with the handprints all over the wall and six-fingered hands and stuff out there, too. That drive was...
