Creationists Claim Erich von Daniken's Model "Giant" Skeleton as Proof of Bible

9/5/2013

54 Comments

 
Paranoia knows no bounds, and it shouldn’t surprise us that the internet is full of the paranoid. On Facebook, creationists have been sharing a “suppressed” photograph of an alleged biblical giant supposedly recovered in Loja, Ecuador. The photograph passing under this giant’s name is admitted by the photographer to be a “reconstruction,” based on alleged “giant” bone fragments that were uncovered long before. According to mystery-mongers, seven fragments were found, each seven times the size of a “normal” human bone. Somehow, despite claiming that many of the fragments were sent to the Smithsonian for analysis, they were also used to make this reconstruction under the supervision of Alex Putney, a true believer in all manner of bizarre material, from Sanskrit fundamentalism to Atlantis to ancient magic powers.

Picture
Now let me say this carefully: The “reconstructed” skeleton of the “giant” is not located in Ecuador. It is not a real skeleton. Would you like to know what it is?

It’s a fake giant skeleton made for Erich von Däniken’s Mystery Park ancient astronaut theme park in Interlaken, Switzerland. If you have the money to rent the now-closed theme park, you can see it even today. Here is a photo of von Däniken posing with the skull while it was under construction, along with video from the park, at the 5:45 mark:

Picture
A photograph of the bone fragments on which this fake skeleton was based appears with testimony from Austrian mystery-monger Klaus Dona, where the Austrian asserts that the bones are “too old” to yield DNA.

Picture
Honestly, they look like rocks to me, or perhaps the bones of a giant sloth or some other Pleistocene mammal. I note that no anatomist examined the bones, only creationists, Atlantis believers, and priests.

But having disposed of the monster, let’s take this to the next level. Based on this fictional skeleton, internet users have turned it into a wide-ranging attack on elites, whom they accuse of hiding the truth about giants. In the comments on the Facebook posting, conspiracy-mongers accused both the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds of conspiring to suppress the giant. Elsewhere, creationists hailed fake von Däniken skeleton as proof that the Bible is true: “…modern archaeologists and scientists cannot afford to allow these remains to made public for they disprove evolution and prove the Bible account to be true; something they cannot allow to happen.” True believers even suggested that the “reconstruction” was a real skeleton and that the Smithsonian would invade Switzerland to seize it.

But shall we kick this up one more level?

Over at The Daily Paul, a libertarian discussion board dedicated to the ideas of Ron Paul, someone posted the von Däniken skeleton and claimed it as proof of the historicity of Genesis. Another asked where the “skeleton” came from and received this response yesterday:

Just watch “America Unearthed.” The scientific community has been burrying odd and not so odd archeological finds (like evidence that the Mayans migrated to Georgia) for a while now. I don't know what the purpose is behind burrying certain finds. It doesn't make much sense to me. Doesn't mean this skeleton is legit though. Hard to tell by just clicking on internet links. =)

(spelling as in original)

What did I tell you about how audiences interpret insinuations of conspiracy on TV?

The common thread throughout the short, strange history of the von Däniken giant is anti-elite paranoia (often of the libertarian variety), with a good dose of religious fundamentalism. It is dumbfounding that the same “evidence”—nothing more than a few lumps of stone, or possibly Pleistocene mammal fossils—can be spun into an ancient astronaut genetic experiment, proof of Biblical creationism, and an anti-elite government conspiracy, all based on how the reader chooses to incorporate ambiguous ideas into a preexisting ideology.

I smell an Ancient Aliens, America Unearthed, and America’s Book of Secrets crossover event! Are you listening H2?

I followed some of the links contained on the sites you linked to, and a couple of things popped out.

The "handprint" found in Locke Cave is said to be eighteen inches long. According to reports, Angus MacAskill, known as the Nova Scotia Giant, had a palm eight inches wide and twelve inches long. He is recognized as having stood 7'9", so if the Locke Cave "handprint" is real, then we're looking at a giant (by modern medical terminology), but not on the Biblical scale creationists prefer.

The "giant footprint" in Africa is interesting, but if the stone face the "footprint" is in is 200 million year old granite, then the age of the granite kind of derails the young Earth hypothesis. In other words, creationists will accept the existence of the "footprint" as proof of Biblical giants, but poo-poo the calculated age of its granite because it doesn't fit with the idea that the world is only a few millennia old.

Evolution remains a theory and one whose popularity is in decline. The reconstruction of a skeleton hardly dispels the belief the Giants once walked the earth. There is more than sufficient physical evidence and throughout the earth there are accounts, stories, and myths of giants. It's hardly logical that people on different continents would coincidentally concoct similar accounts if giant humans. Furthermore the exixtence of giants undercuts the theory of evolution which describes human evolution starting from a small insignificant life form into modern-day man. If that were true than giants are a problem who think we are the product of evolution. There is also the evidence of monolithic construction scattered in Russia, China, Peru, Malta, Egypt and elsewhere which could not have been raised by men.

If I may be semi-serious for a moment:

I'll ignore the obvious fact that these rocks, even if they were the real remains of giants, wouldn't "disprove evolution" or "prove the Bible account to be true..." nevermind alien intervention.

Even if they were real, and they did one or more of the above options, why do we jump straight to conspiracy?

I mean, what about good, old-fashioned incompetence? Archaeologist discovers bones, forgets to tell anyone or publish findings, lets bones collect dust in a storeroom...is that any less plausible than some kind of world-wide academic mafia?

(What do you know, I guess that didn't turn out as serious as I thought it was going to. =P)

Secondly no creationist is claiming that this is proof evolution never happened where as its more about we told you giants existed.

What happened with these "bones" is that they were guarded by a priest for several decades. They were not found by an archaeologist. I don't know when they were released for viewing, or who actually did any analysis on them.

The "ancient aliens/creationist" group use the "hidden by science" excuse for anything that doesn't really pass serious scrutiny. Ron Wyatts "discoveries" are an example. Even though he has been proven to be a hoaxer and not a real archaeologist some people cling to his "finds" ( Red Sea chariot wheel, Noah's Ark on Ararat, and Ark of the Covenant below the crucifixion site, complete with supposed blood).

If I find any more info on these bones I will post it here.

From this website:

http://www.wakingtimes.com/2012/03/11/has-nikola-tesla-been-reincarnated/

"Alex Putney was born and grew up on St. Croix, in the Virgin Islands, finding the ways of the sea and nature’s living web at a formative time in his life. The harmony of wave motion and the rhythms of nature have informed his work from the earliest stages, through his education at the University of Toronto Schools and the School For the Arts at Boston University. After earning a BFA in Sculpture in 2000, Alex moved to the San Francisco Bay area with the support of grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (’08, ’00).

Awarded a Hayes-Brandeis Traveling Fellowship in 2001-02, he spent the year among the most ancient mummies of the world in the archeological collections of the Museum of San Miguel de Azapa near Arica, Chile.

In 2004, Putney produced a 35’-tall giant human skeleton replica for the Unsolved Mysteries exhibition, as a permanent exhibit at Mystery Park in Interlaken, Switzerland. Alex’s work with ancient psychoacoustic instruments from Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru became the impetus for his 7 books on the pyramids, Ayurveda and biorhythmic resonance. "

I have visited the area where these remains were found, not too far from Changaimina you can find The Vilcabamba Valley known as the Longevity Valley and also The Perified Forest of Puyango.
In the same area of Ecuador you can find "National Park Podocarpus is said to have pre-Ice Age microorganism"
I came back with more questions than answers, many more remains can be found at two museums closeby.
There are some Giant Petrino trees in the area, if we still can find giant vegetation around the world is there not the possibility of a past giant human population?

More importantly... under what twist of logic can a Semitic language text possibly be used to justify the claim an Indo-Aryan proto-language was the original language when said Semitic text expounds at great length on the status of the Hebrew as the original man and language? At what point did the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve stop speaking their own language to pick up some Indian import?

Alix, I hear what you're saying, but "language" is a pretty dicey term. Even if you define it down as a sign system of signifiers and referents, it's not solely in the domain of humanity. Many, many mammals -- not just primates -- display the capacity for language, and even inter-species communication without human intervention (documented between dolphins and whales). So the capacity for language was most likely something we brought with us in our mammalian brains some time back before we were even on the evolutionary path to human. (I got so hung up on that stuff for a while when I was in grad school that it derailed my original study.)

The boiling water thing, though -- that took abstract thought. You could imagine someone tossing a goat in a steaming hot spring, but it takes a leap to then use fire to re-create your own in-hut steaming hot spring to toss a goat in. You don't see freakin' orcas cooking meat. (Or maybe you do, and I just don't know about it. That would be really awesome, though -- orcas dragging seals or fish to a volcanic hot spring and boiling them.)

I'm always amused by the 'proofs' brought to the table for holy texts. When I lived in the Gulf I had the usual attempts to convert me to Islam and ended up with quite the collection of (poorly) translated English-ish language materials that made some very amusing claims for the veracity of the Quran.

A fave of mine is a passage in which the human life is said to derive from a "wad" or "clot." Thus we are presented with a a color photo of a wad of chewed pink bubble gum with teeth marks in a rough crescent shape. Next to this we have a photo of a pinkish crescent-shaped human embryo/early fetus, which looks roughly similar.

Somehow this lump/wad/cell cluster linguistic notion combined with the two pink crescents looking roughly similar - is there any shape chewed gum couldn't be photographed resembling? - plus the fact that embryos weren't understood when the Quran was written = must be the word of Allah. No alternatives.

My counterargument would generally be tobacco. It strikes me as funny that God missed out on prohibiting a vice that almost certainly would've been 86'ed had the plant grown in the Old World.

Yes. Your list of "frauds", however, isn't entirely accurate.

Piltdown Man=hoax

Nebraska Man=misidentified tooth; therefore, not a deliberate hoax

Lucy=currently under debate; therefore, not a deliberate hoax

Haeckel's Embryos=not accepted within biology, but considered possible outside of it; therefore, not a deliberate fraud

Since the vast majority of dinosaur skeletons are found incomplete, samples are taken of as many individual finds as possible in order to recreate the whole animal as accurately as possible. Due to this jigsaw puzzle effect, most displays are a combination of actual fossils and resin casts, if not complete facsimiles. This is to protect the actual fossils, that may be too fragile or even radioactive to expose in public.

Hi Jason,

According to Klaus Dona from what I have chatted with him, he told me anatomists in Vienna studied the bones and concluded they were human, but 5 x normal size. I tried to ask Dona what the names of the anatomists were who studied the bones, but I never really got an answer. But it was an impromptu chat and we were both busy.

Interestingly an alleged 1993 affidavit with 13 signatures pertaining to the twenty foot Loja skeleton exists on this website: http://www.stangrist.com/fax3.htm

The signatures affirm the skeleton was of a human being.

If the Smithsonian did receive the bones I guess my chances of getting a proper analysis of the fragments are next to zero, and no it probably doesn't help me any if Alex Putney is scientist of the Atlantean persuasion, but just the same I'll try and email him to get his side of the story. Still, I'd really be interested in seeing if Mr. Dona has any more fragments he could allow to be studied. I friended him on facebook not too long ago, I'll put the word by him again.

My suspicions are that this is a dis articulated ground sloth which to the untrained eye looked humanoid to those who uncovered it... A 24 feet tall human being would be a spectacular find., but that is twice as tall as the highest estimate I have ever seen for any human being, fossil ape, or hominid in 120 years of scientific literature based on fossil teeth, jaws, skulls, humeri, femora, and tibia pieces. 9 to 12 feet is jaw dropping enough, and pushes the bounds of physical limits, so certainly 20 - 24 feet is beyond Biblical propritions -- it's almost entering the Enochian realm where all laws of Galilean or Newtonian physics lay prostrate to the four winds... you know those 450 foot giants Enoch talks about who (somehow) copulated with birds and snakes producing strange monstrosities... so odd were Enoch's writings later church fathers banned his works from canon.

But anyways, I keep an open mind on the Loja giant, even if I am 95% leaning towards it being some sort of Sloth... Those Ground Sloths got up towards 17 - 20 feet when stretching up to get a bite off a branch. That just about fits the size of this 24 ft giant.

Jason Colavito link

Amazing, isn't it, that none of the anatomists thought this find worth writing up for the academic literature? And that none of the thirteen signatories thought to take pictures to share?

I agree that a ground sloth is the most likely explanation.

9/11/2013 11:05:27 am

Well yes, exactly. Maybe there is a anatomical write-up somewhere, but if there is I sure haven't seen it! I mean, unless this 24 ft man was buried with a stone axe head that weighs 100 lbs, or giant funerary artifacts or some sort of signifier that this was a human burial, then I would be highly interested, but based on all I read this was found in a hill side not a burial mound, no context I am aware of that would make it human.

Jason, this might be of interest to you. It's a rather straightforward documentary on reports of real giant Indians in South America by explorers, the 6 to 7 feet tall now extinct Tehuelche who towered over the average 5 ft 5 inch Spaniards and other Native groups and wore huge fur robes and had very robust brow ridges and bone structure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paKdv4B28sU

Also the Native traditions of giant hairy creatures. Basically, for the uber giants, the ones over 10 and 12 feet, I think Sloth skeletons and huge footprints could have been been responsible for the legends in America. Some evidence suggests ancient Amerindians may have encountered some of the giant sloth forms 10,000 years ago, or even more recently, like Megatherium who reached 20 feet tall when standing up was covered in hair and apparently, for short distances it could walk one two legs in a semi bipedal fashion. So, if we want to talk about giants in the mammal kingdom - ground sloths are the closest thing to a 20 ft human, aside from some upper 10 -12 ft estimates for Gigantopithecus who Dr Don Jeffrey Meldrum and the late Grover Krantz feel may have walked as a biped, though that is controversial and unproven.

You would be referring to the mapinguary, reputed to live in the Amazon rainforest, in what is now Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil.

From Monstropedia.com:

Ornithologist David C. Oren is the researcher who is most strongly associated with the theory that mapinguary legends represent sightings of living giant sloths who survived the Ice Age extinctions. Charles Fort was perhaps the first to suggest the survival of giant ground sloths in South America, in reference to legends about the "blonde beast" of Patagonia.

That's the one! Great link!

I don't know about such a creature living today, but the legends from Indian tribes I think could have credence going back generations and centuries of time. Some have voiced the opinion that Native oral traditions can possible preserve kernels of truth sometimes going back centuries, possibly even millenia. I don't find it that hard to imagine some late Pleistocene outliers living into more recent times, apparently some insular Ground sloth populations persisted 5,000-6,000 longer than the mainland ones, and that is pretty substantial! Carbon dates as late as 2600 BC, and some theories of even as recent as the 1500's AD for the island of Hispaniola's ground sloths. Makes me wonder.

Schildmann's works lead to a complete new transcription of Indus Valley texts and apply to Illinois Cave for example.Later or now it rejoins a part of Hancock theory,who rejects aryan myth of civilisation to accept the tamul (nationalism) vision of older ancestors builders back to 10 000 yrs old,in regard of archeological evidences.

For Gobekli Tepe is not the oldest temple structure in the world but it is Gunung Padang in Indonesia we can reasonably think that this region (indian sub continent) was civilize before mesopotamian cities rised.

Even if these were real GIANT BONES, that doesn't give Christians, Jews or Muslims a monopoly on their religions having spoken of Giants in their the 'books'.

For example, Pausanias in the 2nd Century AD, claimed that a kneecap, which was 5 inches in diameter, appeared on the beach near Sigeion, on the Trojan coast; these bones were identified as those of Giant Ajax.

The Giant Ajax was a mythological Greek hero. He plays an important role, and is portrayed as a towering gargantuan figure and a warrior of great courage in Homer's Iliad and in the Epic Cycle, a series of epic poems about the Trojan War. Ajax is the son of Telamon, who was the son of Aeacus and grandson of Zeus, and his first wife Periboea. He is the cousin of Achilles, and is the elder half-brother of Teucer. This makes Ajax part man and part god (clearly not a real character).

So if there were bones found of a Giant, then this also could confirm the stories and myths found in Greek Mythology! There were also said to be giants in the stories of the Ancient Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians and Mesopotamians (which, when you dig far enough, you find that the Bible just stole those stories and gave them a more Hebraic flavor).
