Join Exploring the Bizarre (KCORradio.com) hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz as they climb the beanstalk with guest ADAM STOKES. Jack and the Beanstalk is the fairy tale that probably introduces most children to the world of giants. Ancient myths and folklore often reference giants as horrible creatures that have superhuman strength, a long lifespan, and are fond of terrorizing humans. In the Bible, the Anakites, who "come from the Nephilim," the Emites, and the Rephaites, were giants the Israelites found living in the Promised Land. Adam O. Stokes discusses the possible origins of advanced giants who settled throughout North America and whose reality is still hotly contested by most archaeologists. Adam Oliver Stokes holds degrees in religion from Duke University and Yale Divinity School. He has written on numerous subjects including biblical studies, classical studies, LDS theology and ancient American civilization particularly the phenomenon of American ceremonial mounds and giants. His book, "Perspectives on the Old Testament," was published by Cognella Press in 2018. In addition to this, his work has been featured in the Journal of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Journal of the Book of Mormon, BYU Quarterly, the Classical Outlook and Ancient American magazine.

Ancient Giants, Edgar Cayce and Lost Civilizations, with Guests James Vieira and Dr. Gregory Little
With each new discovery, scholars are beginning to understand that the history once taught in school is incomplete. Every new finding is pushing us towards the acceptance that we are not the first civilization on this planet...that there have been others who have been lost in the sands of time...existing long before our current civilizations and inhabiting all corners of the world.
One persistent story is that at one time a race of giants inhabited the Earth. Ancient texts such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Dead Sea Scrolls Book of Giants and Indian scriptures that refer to the Daityas(giants)indicate that belief in giants was widespread. However, are these stories nothing more than myths and legends? Is there any basis of reality to these legends?
Based on the fragments of evidence, traditions, and lore, we have limited knowledge of the earliest days of human civilization. It's probable that whole civilizations, some with advanced technology, have come and gone. At the very least, human culture reaches much further back in time than conventional history admits.
We do have some evidence of a now extinct race of giants in the form of massive human bones uncovered, especially in the 19th century, in various locations around North America. Unfortunately, most of these giant bones have disappeared, either through negligence or possibly removed from the public eye deliberately.
Our guests this week on Exploring the Bizarre are James Vieira and Dr. Greg Little. James Vieira, a stonemason by trade, has been studying ancient sites for over 20 years and was the host of the History Channel's series "Search for the Lost Giants."
Dr. Greg Little has spent years researching ancient structures and earthworks and has uncovered startling evidence of high civilization that was once in what is now the Caribbean Sea. He also has some fascinating theories about the North American mound builders connection to Atlantis and the pyramids of Central and South America.

Our Strange and Mysterious World with Stephen Sindoni and Jason Jarrell
Whether it be things such as The Philadelphia Experiment, ancient giants, or the reality of the inner Earth, we live in a very strange and mysterious world. In ages past, people saw wonderful miracles and supernatural horrors almost every day of their lives. As our knowledge increased, the things that we once saw as blessing or curses from gods and spirits were better understood and less mysterious. However, despite our new age of rational thinking and reason, things still happen in life that seem to defy any sort of rational explanation. Science has been able to crack open some of these mysteries. But science still has a long way to go to explain everything that we don't understand. We must keep an open mind and humble enough to not instantly dismiss things that can’t be easily explained.
