What you are looking at here is a selection of newspaper articles published between 1870 and the late 1930s. In total, there are more than 4,000 articles. Many of them appeared in the largest newspapers across the United States, while others were published in scientific and academic journals. All of these articles describe the same phenomenon: graves being excavated in which abnormally large human skeletons were discovered. Certain measurements appear again and again. Many skeletons are described as being over two meters tall, commonly ranging between 210 and 240 centimeters. Others are reported to have measured between 270 and 300 centimeters, and in some cases, even larger.
