Miners searching for bat guano discover over 40 human skeletons, some abnormally large, in Lovelock Cave in 1911.

Large skulls and skeletons measuring between 7 to 8 feet were found, often with red hair.

Many giant-sized artifacts, such as sandals and pieces of clothing, were discovered.

A woman named Sarah Wamaka, a descendant of Chief Wamaka, wrote a book in the 1800s, recounting the Paiute people's battle with a race of red-haired giants. The giants were cannibals, and a three-year war ended with the giants holed up in Lovelock Cave, where they were set on fire by the Paiute people.

Muslims believe it fell from Heaven at the time of Adam and Eve and marked the position of the first temple.

The stone has cosmic origins, possibly a meteorite, and its power is both spiritual and physical.

Millions of Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca each year, with a ritual of attempting to kiss the Black Stone.
