Because many people believe that there were giants on the earth in ancient times, the History Channel sought to capitalize on the success of Curse of Oak Island by making a strikingly similar show featuring brothers Jim and Bill Vieira, stonemasons who believe that old newspaper accounts of giants can be taken as evidence of a lost race of very tall people. These are my completely unauthorized episode reviews. More information about giants is available in my Library.
