American Giants Theory
It is my theory that the disappearance of the giants (Nephilim), in the Americas was brought about by God via supernatural events, divinely influenced natural disasters, and granting to the Native Americans, the ability to destroy the giants. The Comanche Chief Rolling Thunder commented: “this race (the giants) forgot justice and mercy and became too proud, the Great Spirit wiped it out and all that was left of their society were the mounds still visible on the tablelands.” The Navajo legend tells that the giants “were either extinguished or went back to the heavens.”

The surviving remnant of the North American Nephilim civilizations sought refuge in the wilderness. Forced to live a subsistence lifestyle, the Nephilim became “wild men”, the

    In 1491, Charles C. Mann aims to prove a once-widespread belief about Native Americans false. This belief, which he calls Holmberg’s mistake, was first published in the book Nomads of the Longbow by Holmberg himself. Holmberg states that before European influence arrived in 1492, the Native Americans were nothing more than mere savages with lacking religion, no appreciation for the arts past feathered beads, little impact on the natural world around them, and nomadic lifestyles. Charles C. Mann, collecting evidence from various archeologists, paleontologists, and researchers from prestigious universities, sets out to show just how wrong Holmberg was in his thinking.…

    Kennewick Man Book Review

    • 939 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In the absence of some rigorous examination of remains by qualified individuals we are left with the prospect of conflicting claims that characterizes "Kennnewick Man: The Soap". If affiliation is determined by legislative fiat or dueling attorneys, we all lose. Classifying remains as Native American because they are found in North America does some violence to common sense - are Toyotas indigenous because we find them here? Vine DeLoria's views notwithstanding, the peopling of the New World remains a story to be told. It is possible that the Americas were peopled more than once by groups from parts of the world that conventional wisdom has long dismissed. David closes his book with the account of a collaborative project in Alaska that offers a real alternative to the disputes surrounding Kennewick Man. Hopefully such cooperation will be a model for archaeological research, and the picture of Native American prehistory that it renders will be more complete because of its inclusiveness. All in all, a superb read that encourages us to examine our motives and to recall the obscenities that have occurred in the past, and almost certainly will occur again, for…

    John Neihardt writes this biography because Black Elk came to him with the purpose of showing Americans both physical and emotional pain they’ve inflicted on them in desire to expand the United States. This biography isn’t only for sorrow; it’s of great appreciation to the Native Americans because this is the first of their stories that is actually being documented. Having written by a white man is of great importance because through this biography the readers see that Black Elk is hostile toward white men.…

    Nacirema

    At first glance, it might seem that culturally-advanced and deep-thinking Americans have relatively little in common with the comparatively narcissistic, shallow, and primitive Nacirema, who carve out an existence somewhere between "the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Tarahumare of Mexico, and the Carab and the Awawak of the Antilles" ("Body Ritual among the Nacirema, p. 1). Who could even think to compare Americans, in our advanced state, with such a remote and isolated group? However, upon closer reflection, however, it occurred, much to the present author's surprise, that the Nacirema and Americans are in fact mirror images of one another.…

    Buffalo men, they called them, and talked slowly to the prisoners scooping mush and tapping away at their chains. Nobody from a box in Alfred, Georgia, cared about the illness the Cherokee warned them about, so they stayed, all forty-six, resting, planning their next move. Paul D had no idea of what to do and knew less than anybody, it seemed. He heard his co-convicts talk knowledgeably of rivers and states, towns and territories. Heard Cherokee men describe the beginning of the world and its end. Listened to tales of other Buffalo men they knew — three of whom were in the healthy camp a few miles away. Hi Man wanted to join them; others wanted to join him. Some wanted to leave; some to stay on. Weeks later Paul D was the only Buffalo man left — without a plan. All he could think of was tracking dogs, although Hi Man said the rain they left in gave that no chance of success. Alone, the last man with buffalo hair among the ailing Cherokee, Paul D finally woke up and, admitting his ignorance, asked how he might get North. Free North. Magical North. Welcoming, benevolent North. The Cherokee smiled and looked around. The flood rains of a month ago had turned everything to steam and blossoms.…

    Northrop Frye establishes that literature is based on conventions in his lecture The Singing School. As a result, he says that there is no better way to communicate a literary concept than by using conventional literary characters and ideas. Allusion is the reference to a person, place or concept in literature or real life. It is used as a literary tool to create a better image of the idea that the author is trying to convey. "There was a shout about my ears, and palms before my feet."1 This line from G.K. Chesterton's The Donkey alludes to Palm Sunday. Without an understanding of the allusion, readers cannot get an understanding of the poem. Allusion can also be found in music. In the song ‘Diamonds of the Sierra Leone,' rapper Jay-Z says, "I had to get off the boat to walk on water." This is an allusion to Jesus Christ that Jay-Z uses to portray himself as being immortal in music.…

    Spiritual Giants

    Hello, my name is Tatiana Rosario for those who don’t know me. Today I’m going to be talking to you guys about spiritual giants. In another church I went to we skimmed the topic briefly and I think that’s what made me get more interested in it. I think this is a topic that should be taught to everyone especially to the youth. For the fact that we need to be able to understand and concur what is holding us back from getting closer to God and from what is holding us back from feeling his presences. As I was searching online for something to explain to me more about these giants. I came across this page and it had a list of giants that could be holding us back from God. As I read through each and every one of them I noticed that the giants listed are common and can come to us in a daily basis. Have you ever thought about the fact that Giants Are Real? “GIANTS” are not a part of your imagination or something you dream of. Problems, Pressures, pains, and persecutions are giants that we will have to face form time to time.…
