Archaeologists also found a 15-inch-long sandal showing signs of wear, and a boulder with a seemingly giant handprint etched onto it.
Recent archaeological discoveries in Nevada have reignited interest in a long-held legend of red-haired giants who once roamed the Americas, according to The Independent.
The story began in 1911, when miners digging for fertiliser in Lovelock Cave unearthed unusual artifacts. This led to official excavations in 1912 and 1924, uncovering thousands of artefacts and the remains of individuals nicknamed the "Lovelock Giants." These mummies measured an astonishing 8 to 10 feet tall, according to the news outlet.
Archaeologists also found a 15-inch-long sandal showing signs of wear, and a boulder with a seemingly giant handprint etched onto it. A 1931 local newspaper article reported the discovery of two more giant skeletons, around 8.5 and 10 feet tall, in a nearby dry lake bed. These remains were even described as being mummified in a similar way to those of the Ancient Egyptians.
