D. Conclusions
So what has emerged
from this brief excursion into “giantology”? First, both ancient
and more modern testimony exists testifying to living giants and to
their remains. If this is loose corroboration of the scenario of a
large exploded planet that was water and life-bearing, then perhaps
such creatures or their remains as are found on earth are not
indigenous to this planet. Their larger physiologies would appear
to be more appropriate to a planetary environment of larger mass
and greater gravity. Over time, as these creatures grew accustomed
to the earth’s gravity, micro-evolutionary processes may have led
to an adaptation of their physiology to smaller sizes.
Secondly, if this
were the only corroborating evidence of the scenario, then it
would, as has been noted, be rather loose and unconvincing. But the
existence of a class of legends among many cultures — and I have
cited but a very few — that refer to a giant race among ancient
peoples increases its evidentiary value.
Thirdly, the fact
that some of these legends, like the Okanagan Indian legend of
Smocalt’s destruction of a planetary “island” with its warring
“giants” or Viracocha’s two previous destructions of the world by
fire and flood — if viewed from the paleophysical perspective
suggested by Alford where “islands” equal “planets” and “waters” or
“seas” or “oceans” represent the surrounding local space - seem to
corroborate the scenario of an ancient and very real war as the cause of the destruction of that
planet. The detailed parallels between the Okanagan Legend and the
Babylonian War-Creation epic, the Enuma
Elish, make such a scenario more likely.
Fourthly, the fact
that the Okanagan Legend explicitly
refers to a race of giants as inhabitants of that exploded, lost
world and their subsequent survival and transplantation to another
“island” planetary home, plus the existence of remains of such
giants and reliable classical and modern testimony as to their
existence would seem to be a piece of evidence that would suggest,
contra Alford, that these legends are not metaphors of an “Exploded Planet Cult” or any
other form of naturalistic catastrophism, but the very real, if
garbled, accounts of a real war and its aftermath. The parallel
with Mesopotamian accounts is further strengthened by the fact that
some other North American indigenous
Indian legends feature “monsters and giants which both perish by the thunderbolts sent by the Great
Spirit.”184 This parallels the
Enuma Elish and Marduk’s divine arrows
and thunderbolts. Contrary to Alford, the giant remains are
obviously not mere metaphors; their
existence would thus seem to constitute loose corroboration of the
fact that the wars in which these giants were repeatedly engaged
were not mere metaphors either.
It is now time, then,
to consider what type of weapon would be involved that would allow
inhabitants on earth both to see and to record plasma discharges
accurately.

Quayle records that “Near Mezanno in Sicily in 1516 there was found
the skeleton of a giant whose height was at least 30 feet... and in
1548 and 1550 there were others found of the height of 30 feet. The
Athenians found near their city skeletons measuring 34 and 36 feet
in height. In Bohemia it is recorded that there was found a human
skeleton 26 feet tall, and the leg-bones are still kept in a
medieval castle in that country. ”
