So centuries ago, the Paiute Indians told the Native American settlers a story about 10 to 12 foot tall giants dwelling in the Nevada area. These giants had white skin and red hair. The Paiute Indians claimed that these giants, known as the Si-Teh-Cah, would come into the village at night, drag off women and children, and eat them.
After growing weary of this treatment, the Paiute banded together with other local tribes and bows and arrows and chased these giants into the Lovelock cave. The giants blocked off the cave with a huge boulder that was impossible for a normal person to move. This prompted the Natives to to demand that they give up or they would die. In response, a few giants came out which resulted in the Natives shooting up those who came out and surrendered. The others stayed behind the boulder blocked off cave and the natives made a wood fire at the entrance and the remain giants died of asphyxiation. The settlers wrote these tales off as mythological stories until the early 1900s when archaeologists were digging around the area and found broken arrows at the entrance as well as the bodies of the giants inside of the cave.
You giggling but they really found these things.
Just sayin.
