Giants and Mound Builders with Jason Jarrell and Host Dr. Zohara Hieronimus

Across the eastern portion of North America, burials of ancient people who possessed a very tall stature have been uncovered.

Ages of the Giants: A Cultural History of the Tall Ones in Prehistoric America by Jason Jarrell utilizes actual archaeological reports and the records of American Antiquarians, along with numerous historical chronicles and press accounts to document the cultures of a distinct sub-population of large, powerfully-built individuals of extraordinary height who inhabited ancient North America for thousands of years. The product of a decade of research, including fieldwork at ancient sites and the study of thousands of pages of archaeological literature, Ages of the Giants traces the history of the ancient Tall Ones across four millennia, and features in-depth descriptions of the cultures they founded, as well as their traditions, cosmology, and settlement patterns.

Discussion of the Allegheny Mounds and the Late Archaic and Woodland period cultures in the Northeastern United States and the Ohio River Valley, including evidence of prehistoric individuals possessing a unique, gigantic anthropology, subsequently obfuscated by the Smithsonian Institution’s Department of Anthropology. Originally Recorded in 2016.
