Praise for this book

“This was wonderfully organized and logical, easy to read, and fascinating. I have read a lot of giants books, but this one had a whole new avenue of information and concepts, theories and hypotheses that kept me riveted...This was an open-minded and refreshing take on a popular subject. It is getting a coveted space on my bookshelf.”

Fun Fact
This book excels at weaving together disparate cultural narratives and enigmatic archaeological clues into a compelling, if controversial, alternative history. It will deeply satisfy readers who relish challenging established paradigms and exploring 'forbidden' knowledge, offering a truly thought-provoking read. However, those seeking peer-reviewed academic consensus or strictly empirical evidence will find its speculative nature frustrating. It firmly establishes itself within the tradition of ancient astronaut theory and revisionist history, providing a rich tapestry for the open-minded.

📝 Description: Lost Race of the Giants: The Mystery of Their Culture, Influence, and Decline Throughout the World (Original)

An exploration of mythological and archaeological evidence for prehistoric giants - Examines the many corresponding giant mythologies throughout the world, such as the Greek and Roman titans, Norse frost giants, and the biblical Nephilim - Reveals recent finds of giant skeletons in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and India - Explains how giants passed on their sophisticated culture and civilization to humanity before being wiped out in the great age of cataclysms and floods Giants are a cornerstone of the myths, legends, and traditions of almost every culture on Earth. Stories of giants are often considered fantasies of the ancients or primitive attempts to explain natural phenomena, but archaeological discoveries of 10- and 12-foot skeletons--many of which have been suppressed--confirm the existence of a forgotten golden age of giants before recorded history. Patrick Chouinard examines the staggering number of corresponding giant mythologies throughout the world, such as the Greek and Roman titans, Norse frost giants, the Hindu Daityas, the biblical Nephilim, the Celtic Formorach, the Sumerian Anunnaki, and the multitude of myths in which the sky or world is held aloft on the shoulders of a giant. He links these stories to Atlantis as well as other legends of prehistoric civilizations lost to cataclysm and great floods whose survivors spawned the rise of ancient civilizations. The author reveals how physical remains of giant-size peoples have been found on almost every continent, including recent finds in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and northern India as well as hundreds of excavations of giant mummies and skeletons across the United States, corresponding directly with Native American accounts of red-haired giants. He also examines reports from famous explorers such as Magellan, Sir Francis Drake, and Desoto of their encounters with giants on the North American continent. Revealing how giants represent the true earthborn race, Chouinard explains how they engaged in open conflict with the extraterrestrial gods who created humanity for forced labor and how they passed their sophisticated culture and civilization on to humanity before being nearly wiped out in the great age of cataclysms.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Chouinard and Von Ward present a provocative synthesis of myth and alleged archaeological evidence, arguing for the reality of giant races. While the premise is captivating for those invested in alternative history, it may disappoint readers seeking rigorous, peer-reviewed academic validation or strict scientific methodology. Skeptics of esoteric theories might find the convergence of disparate global myths too convenient rather than evidentiary. However, as a speculative exploration of cultural memory and lost heritage, it succeeds in stirring curiosity. It is best suited for enthusiasts of occult philosophy who enjoy imaginative reconstruction over dry, conventional historiography.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Global Mythologies Unveiled

The book meticulously surveys the widespread presence of giant narratives across diverse cultures, from the awe-inspiring Greek and Roman titans to the formidable Norse frost giants and the enigmatic Nephilim of biblical lore. It argues that the remarkable consistency of these stories suggests a shared, pre-historical reality rather than mere independent fantasy.

Archaeological Enigmas

This volume presents a compelling case for the existence of giants through reported archaeological finds, specifically highlighting accounts of immense skeletal remains—some reaching 10 to 12 feet in height—discovered in regions like the Arabian deserts and India. It critically examines the alleged suppression and dismissal of such extraordinary evidence by mainstream academia.

Foundational Civilizers

The authors propose that these ancient giant races were not only real but played a crucial role in the early development of human civilization. They contend that before their catastrophic decline during a period of global floods and cataclysms, these giants bestowed advanced knowledge and cultural practices upon humanity, influencing the very bedrock of our early societies.

📜 Historical context

This work sits squarely within the tradition of speculative archaeology and revisionist history, echoing the spirit of authors who challenge mainstream narratives about humanity's origins. It draws parallels with theories of lost civilizations and pre-diluvian eras, presenting a cohesive argument for a forgotten golden age predating recorded history, where beings of immense stature walked the Earth.

📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. How does the idea of an ancient race of giants challenge or confirm your understanding of human history and mythology?
  2. If archaeological evidence of giants has been suppressed, what might be the implications for our current understanding of the past and the institutions that control historical narratives?
  3. Consider how the concept of a 'golden age' influenced by non-human entities might change your perspective on humanity's inherent capabilities and origins.
