The Smithsonian Conspiracy: Are They Hiding Evidence of Giants and Lost Civilizations?

For over a century, strange reports have surfaced from dusty newspaper clippings, suppressed research papers, and eyewitness accounts:

Giant skeletons — 7, 8, even 12 feet tall — uncovered in burial mounds, caves, and ancient ruins across North America.

But these bones?

They always seem to vanish.

And time and again, one name keeps popping up: The Smithsonian Institution.

Coincidence? Or a deliberate cover-up to keep a lost chapter of history buried forever?

Let’s follow the trail.

☠️ 1800s Newspaper Clippings: “Giant Skeletons Unearthed”

Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, small-town newspapers across the U.S. reported bizarre archaeological finds:

• New York Times, 1885: “Giant Skeletons Discovered in Ohio Mound”
• St. Louis Dispatch, 1891: “Skeletons Measuring Over 9 Feet Found in Cave”
• The Indianapolis News, 1879: “Ancient Race of Giants Unearthed by Digging Party”

These weren’t one-offs.

Hundreds of articles described similar discoveries: elongated skulls, massive femurs, double rows of teeth, and artifacts too advanced for Native cultures of the time.

And the strangest part?

Many articles end with the same sentence:

“The bones were sent to the Smithsonian for further study.

And then… silence.

🏛️ Why the Smithsonian?

Founded in 1846, the Smithsonian Institution was created to advance knowledge and preserve history. But over the decades, critics and independent researchers have accused it of something else entirely:

• Confiscating anomalous artifacts
• Suppressing evidence that contradicts official narratives
• Silencing voices within the archaeological community

In 2014, a viral hoax claimed the Smithsonian admitted to destroying thousands of giant skeletons in the early 1900s. The story was debunked — but the attention it received revealed a deeper truth:

Millions of people already believed this could be real.

So is there fire behind the smoke?

🗿 The Mound Builders: A Forgotten Civilization?

One of the most intriguing pieces of this puzzle is the story of the Mound Builders — ancient cultures that built massive earthworks across the Midwest and South.

Mainstream archaeology links them to Native American societies like the Adena and Hopewell. But early European settlers found legends of a race of giants, known by some tribes as the “Allegewi”, who built the mounds and were later wiped out.

Multiple 19th-century excavation reports claimed that:

• The largest skeletons were found inside mound tombs

• They bore artifacts made of copper, mica, and unknown alloys
• Many had abnormally large skulls and jawbones

Again… these finds were supposedly sent to the Smithsonian.

Where are they now?

🔍 Whistleblowers and Independent Researchers Speak Out

Several modern researchers have come forward with disturbing claims:

➤ David Hatcher Childress (author, Ancient Aliens contributor):

Claims that Smithsonian archaeologists systematically destroyed bones that didn’t match evolutionary theory.

➤ Jim Vieira (featured on Search for the Lost Giants):

Collected over 1,000 newspaper clippings and spoke with descendants of dig teams who allegedly saw bones “disappear” into Smithsonian trucks.

➤ Richard Dewhurst, author of The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America:

Asserts that a hidden Smithsonian directive was put in place to discredit giant skeleton discoveries as myths or misidentifications.

While none of these claims have been confirmed by mainstream sources, the pattern of disappearance is hard to ignore.

🧬 Why Hide the Giants?

If real, these findings would challenge:

• Darwinian evolution timelines
• Official narratives about the peopling of the Americas
• Religious and historical texts’ accounts of “giants on the Earth”

It would also raise deeper questions:

Who were these people?

Were they human? Hybrid? Something else?

Were they connected to advanced pre-flood civilizations like Atlantis or Lemuria?

And worst of all — it might expose a massive scientific blind spot… or worse, intentional deception.

🧠 Mainstream Response: Total Silence

The Smithsonian has consistently denied all allegations of suppression. Most archaeologists dismiss the “giants” theory as:

• Misidentified mastodon bones
• Exaggerated journalistic errors
• Pseudoscience fueled by fringe authors

But here’s what they don’t explain:

Why so many similar discoveries were reported in different regions

Why the bones are never seen again after being turned over

Why some Smithsonian records seem to be missing or sealed

If the theory is so “silly,” why is it treated like a national security secret?

🧬 Final Thoughts: Are We Missing a Hidden Chapter of Humanity?

Maybe the bones were misidentified.

Maybe the old reports were exaggerated.

Maybe… it’s all just folklore.

But what if it’s not?

What if the real conspiracy isn’t about proving giants existed —

but about how far institutions will go to keep us from even asking?

The story of the giants may be myth.

The cover-up?

That feels very real.
