Across North America, Native traditions speak of giants who walked the land before recorded history. Early settlers reported discovering enormous skeletal remains. Newspaper archives from the 19th and early 20th centuries contain hundreds of accounts of giant bones unearthed and then... lost.
"Echoes of Ancient Thunder" is Nick Razer's investigation into one of America's strangest archaeological mysteries. Were giants real? If so, what happened to the evidence? And why does mainstream archaeology treat the subject as forbidden?
Razer approaches the topic with journalistic rigor, examining primary sources, interviewing researchers on both sides of the debate, and following the paper trail of vanished specimens. He explores the Smithsonian cover-up allegations, the genuine archaeological finds that have been misinterpreted, and the boundary between legitimate mystery and wishful thinking.
This isn't a credulous acceptance of giant legends—nor is it a dismissive debunking. It's a serious investigation into what the evidence actually shows and what it might mean.
