    First they say the denisovens were giants, then they say they rode horses. Ancient horses most likely wouldn't have been able to carry an adult human, let alone a giant, until after many generations of selective breeding.

    Btw that Lincoln quote is about Mammoths and Mastodons. “But still there is more. It calls up the indefinite part. When Columbus first sought this continent - when Christ suffered on the Cross - when Moses led Israel through the Red Sea - nay even when Adam first came from the hand of his Maker, - then as now, Niagara was roaring here. The eyes of that species of extinct giants whose bones fill the Mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara as ours do now. Contemporary with the whole race of men, and older than the first man Niagara is strong and fresh today as ten thousand years ago. The mammoth and mastodon now so long dead, that fragments of their monstrous bones alone testify, that they ever lived, have gazed on Niagara. In that long, long time, never still for a single moment. Never dried, never froze, never slept, never rested.”

    I also want to point out that as we see in actual human giants, like Andre the giant, their bodies could not handle the stress of picking up large items, not only do their hearts often give out because they cant pump enough blood for their massive bodies, but they are also riddled with bone deformities and massive amounts of joint pain. There is no way a human that could be big enough to pick up that big of stones would actually be able to pick up that big of stones. Andre could barely even pick up a small human women without it doing damage to his bones and joints.

      Not to accidentally lead any credence to anyone proposing actual giants, But the Giants in the Game of Thrones TV Series (not sure about the books) actually have specific adaptations for gigantism. Extreme robustisity in the legs, Elephant like feet where they walk on their toes with giant fleshy pads. You can't just scale up a Homo Sapiens to giant size, but there's no reason that Giant humans couldn't evolve with the right enviornmental pressures. Again This is all about fantasy giants from a fiction book. I don't believe in Giants.

  • @AlanCanon2222
    @AlanCanon2222 2 роки тому +20

    Couple thoughts on "straight lines" in geology from a Kentucky caver: the limestone we find caves in around here is, like all limestone, an ancient relict seafloor, which lies in layers that are just about as flat as you could ask for, over tens or hundreds of miles. So a cross section proile up and down through those layers in one dimension, and any pair of compass directions in the other, is going to have straight (and parallel) lines all over it.
    The limestone layers may not lie on the level anymore, as they did while being formed, because of geological uplift, which can lift one edge of a plateau higher than the surrounding terrain. We call the newly formed "downhill" direction the regional dip.
    That uplift places more stress on the lifted edge and strain on the not-lifted edge. Where there's a zone of weakness, a vertical crack (small local fault) may form, which will tend to extend along the "strike" direction, along the surface, at right angles to the dip direction. The process is analogous to the way a piece of ceramic or glass will preferentially break along the direction of a small scratch. This produces all kinds of straight lines, on all sorts of scales, from meters to miles.
    Surface erosion may have obscured these features, but we can see what's going on under the surface, thanks to cave survey work. We can go in there and survey the cave system, enter the numbers and the sketch into the computer, and make maps. (We can also map the potentiometric surface of the water table by drilling test wells in spots where there are no known cave passages.) Locally, we see all kinds of beautiful curving passages, their shapes guided by small local changes in the rock's composition and orientation at the time it was laid down on the ancient seafloor, and the past solutional history of the cave can amplify new small changes into great ones over the millions of years of the cave's formation.
    But, we also see regional trends in the entire map of a large cave system like Mammoth, and one would have to be a blind Kentucky Cave Shrimp to miss the straight lines all over the place. Indeed, we rely on the consistencies of such trends to guide further exploration and discovery. We look at two known cave passages, that are straight in line with each other, so that you can take a ruler to the map and lay it along both of them, with a gap in between. The original discoverers are dead of old age, and the remote ends of the two passages are 14 and 18 hours' travel from their respective entrances. Are they really two portions of the same passage? People get excited and go in there to look, when we see trends like that.

    Actually a fun thing is many of those giant skeleton pictures can actually be traced back to a Photoshop competition I think back in 2007 or 2008.

    I saw no evidence that these "walls" surrounded an open living area. They showed a couple "tunnels" that didn't seem to go anywhere, but nobody went into the "tunnels" to find the inside of this "human built building." Sure looks to me like this is the outside surface of a huge cliff, without even a cave behind it. And even though the Denisovan cave is not really close, if you look at the picture of the cave opening, to the right are "blocks" very similar in shape to the ones in question. Huh. Maybe just indications this is the natural geology of this region?

Tolkien(where elves were a part of a list of species and creatures that are broadly considered to be racist caricatures based on the imperialist eugenics of his time and country), whereas real folklore elves are short 'little people' like you would think of at Santa's Workshop or making cookies for Keebler. Surely any folklore Elves that existed during the time of the Neanderthals and Denisovans would have been of the traditional short magical creatures that live in nature variety.
