There Are Giants in This Valley


Book Description

For twelve-year-old Eric Johnson, leaving Philadelphia to live with his Uncle Al and Aunt Cindy in the country, after the accident that took his parents lives, was hard enough. Yet tragedies past seem to pale in the wake of becoming involved in a war of mythic pro-portions between the Norse gods of the Aesir and the Frost Giants, competing for domination of Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (realm of the Aesir). Eric befriends the mighty Thor, his father Odin, and brother Loki, along with the industrious Rock Dwarves and the Valkyrie to save his uncle, his friends, and ultimately the planet and realms beyond. This is a classic adventure, seen through a young boy's eyes as he learns to accept responsibility and grow into a man. Adults and young readers alike will enjoy this truly heroic tale. "The action's divine, the plot mischievously intricate, and the characters of epic proportion (literally and figuratively). Tossed into the sea of chaos is a likable young hero who manages to survive the twists of fate." Virginia G. McMorrow Author, Mage Confusion "Superb! This can only be the beginning of the adventures of Eric and Thor. I can't wait to see what challenges they face next." P.M. Griffin Author, The STAR COMMANDOS Series

In the Land of Giants


Book Description

A cultural exploration of the Dark Age landscapes of Britain that poses a significant question: Is the modern world simply the realization of our ancient past? The five centuries between the end of Roman Britain and the death of Alfred the Great have left few voices save a handful of chroniclers, but Britain's "Dark Ages" can still be explored through their material remnants: architecture, books, metalwork, and, above all, landscapes. Max Adams explores Britain's lost early medieval past by walking its paths and exploring its lasting imprint on valley, hill, and field. From York to Whitby, from London to Sutton Hoo, from Edinburgh to Anglesey, and from Hadrian's Wall to Loch Tay, each of his ten walking narratives form free-standing chapters as well as parts of a wider portrait of a Britain of fort and fyrd, crypt and crannog, church and causeway, holy well and memorial stone. Part travelogue, part expert reconstruction, In the Land of Giants offers a beautifully written insight into the lives of peasants, drengs, ceorls, thanes, monks, knights, and kings during an enigmatic but richly exciting period of Britain’s history.




The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America


Book Description

A study of the substantial evidence for a former race of giants in North America and its 150-year suppression by the Smithsonian Institution • Shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been found, particularly in the Mississippi Valley, as well as the ruins of the giants’ cities • Explores 400 years of giant finds, including newspaper articles, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports • Reveals the Stonehenge-era megalithic burial complex on Catalina Island with over 4,000 giant skeletons, including kings more than 9 feet tall • Includes more than 100 rare photographs and illustrations of the lost evidence Drawing on 400 years of newspaper articles and photos, first person accounts, state historical records, and illustrated field reports, Richard J. Dewhurst reveals not only that North America was once ruled by an advanced race of giants but also that the Smithsonian has been actively suppressing the physical evidence for nearly 150 years. He shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been unearthed at Mound Builder sites across the continent, only to disappear from the historical record. He examines other concealed giant discoveries, such as the giant mummies found in Spirit Cave, Nevada, wrapped in fine textiles and dating to 8000 BCE; the hundreds of red-haired bog mummies found at sinkhole “cenotes” on the west coast of Florida and dating to 7500 BCE; and the ruins of the giants’ cities with populations in excess of 100,000 in Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Louisiana. Dewhurst shows how this suppression began shortly after the Civil War and transformed into an outright cover-up in 1879 when Major John Wesley Powell was appointed Smithsonian director, launching a strict pro-evolution, pro-Manifest Destiny agenda. He also reveals the 1920s’ discovery on Catalina Island of a megalithic burial complex with 6,000 years of continuous burials and over 4,000 skeletons, including a succession of kings and queens, some more than 9 feet tall--the evidence for which is hidden in the restricted-access evidence rooms at the Smithsonian.

In 'Among Giants: The Nephilim's Saga


Book Description

In 'Among Giants: The Nephilim's Saga The ancient giants called Nephilim fight epic battles with scary dinosaurs. They use their strength and smarts to change the direction of Earth's prehistoric history, even though the odds were against them. . In Summary: Long before humans lived, there was a race called the Nephilim that was very big and very powerful. With unmatched strength, knowledge, and a strong bond to the land, these prehistoric giants set out on a dangerous but educational trip. They found the strong dinosaurs that ruled the ancient world in the middle of a busy world. The Nephilim were incredibly strong, and these scary monsters were also very strong, so they got into great battles. But the Nephilim didn't just win by force; their intelligence, cunning, and unwavering bravery were also very important in getting past the dinosaurs that were fighting them. The Nephilim were more than just the fights they were in, though. They had to deal with the problems that come with living together in a world that was always changing while they were on their journey. Starting in the beautiful Valley of Beginnings and going on to interesting and dangerous places, the Nephilim's journey was both about learning and excitement and about staying alive and fighting. They knew how important it was to keep the natural balance and knew that they were responsible for the land and all the people who lived on it. The Nephilim made connections that changed the path of their trip. They fought and beat old enemies and found allies in the strangest places. These partnerships, based on mutual respect and a clear goal, showed how important it is to work together to deal with doubt. The Nephilim's history shows how much of an impact they had on the world in ancient times, as well as the places they took over and expanded into. Their journey showed the next generation the values they taught them, such as courage, unity, and respect for all living things. As guardians of the world, they left behind a legacy that would become many stories and legends. They did this by protecting the beauty and harmony of their surroundings. So, even though the Nephilim story takes place in a time of giants and dinosaurs, it still talks about ideals like bravery, knowledge, and caring for the environment. This story explores ancient history and shows the unwavering resolve of those who want to live in harmony with nature and all its living things. Chapter 1: The Beginning The Nephilim are a group of giant creatures that lived on a world very different from ours. These giants were looking for a place to live that was peaceful and happy. They found something truly amazing at the end of a long and difficult trip. The valley was very green and beautiful, and it looked like it was sparkling in the sun. It looked like a live work of art in this area, which became known as the Valley of Beginnings. The Valley of Beginnings wasn't like other places. You could see life everywhere. The giants were dwarfed by trees whose bright leaves looked like they were dancing in the wind. There were flowers on the ground in every color you can think of, and they smelled so good. Beautiful, clear streams of water ran through the landscape, and their soft babble made a relaxing sound. The sky was mostly pink and blue, with fluffy clouds floating by without any thought. The Nephilim were amazed by this valley. They had never seen a place with so much life and beauty. It looked like the valley was welcoming them and telling them they could live there. So, they chose to do the right thing. They saw the valley as more than just a place to live. It was a sign of a fresh start and the chance to live a peaceful, happy life. As they got to know their new home, they saw that the valley was home to many different kinds of animals. The birds with feathers of every color could be heard by the giants. The breeze made the butterfly wings whisper sweetly as they flew from flower to flower. In the streams, fish of all shapes and sizes swam through the water. Their scales sparkled like diamonds. The Nephilim saw that there were other people living in the valley with them. But the animals that lived in the valley with the giants caught them off guard. The valley was home to dinosaurs whose standards were as high as the Nephilim's. It was full of dangerous predators whose roars could be heard all over the sky and peaceful giants who ate in the trees. Still, this valley was peaceful and harmonious, which helped everyone who lived there do well. The Nephilim knew that their new home in the Valley of Beginnings would be hard. Having such beautiful wildlife around taught me how to get along with all living things and keep the natural balance. But as a family, they were ready to deal with these problems together. They found a valley that was more than just a place to live; it was a land full of endless potential where their souls could soar. In this way, the Valley of Beginnings was the center of the new universe the Nephilim created. There was magic and beauty there, as well as obstacles and exciting things to do. It reminded me that you can find a fresh start and the chance to live a peaceful, happy life even in the most unlikely places. People called Nephilim found themselves in the Valley of Beginnings and made a home there. Chapter 2: The First Meeting The Nephilim, who are gentle giants, moved into the Valley of Beginnings one sunny day. That same day, something strange happened. As they walked through the huge, beautiful valley and enjoyed the sights and sounds of this peaceful place, their journey took an unexpected turn. Even the Nephilim, who are giants, were shocked when something so big and strong came out of the woods. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the scariest monsters ever. The T. Rex was a scary animal with huge, sharp teeth and a roar that could shake the ground. When Rex came out in front of the Nephilim, it was the first time the giants had seen such a strong hunter. It was clear that people around them were feeling uneasy. T and the Nephilim saw a split second of time. Rex carefully looked at each other, their eyes locked in a silent battle for power. The Nephilim were known for not being afraid of anything and being strong, so they weren't easily scared. Still, the T could see. They knew that the quiet in the valley wasn't as stable as they thought it was because of Rex's stern look and commanding presence. There was more to this fight than just two giants going at it. It was a sign of things to come and a warning that they lived in a world with other huge, strong beings. When the Nephilim came to the Valley of Beginnings, they wanted to start a peaceful life away from the wars that had ruined their past. They were amazed by how beautiful the valley was, how green it was, and how many living things there were. They saw it as a safe place to live where they could get along with nature and the people who lived there. However, the T's sudden arrival. Rex was very interested in a new world. Even though the valley was peaceful and beautiful, it was also a place where life depended on each other. All living things, big and small, had an important part to play in the delicate cycle of life. Getting in touch with T. The Nephilim saw rex as a sign of good things to come. It was a note to tell them that the Valley of Beginnings would have problems. They would have to figure out how to live in this strange new place, how to get along with the other people that lived there, and how to become part of the huge web of life that was there. The valley wasn't just a pretty place; it was a live, breathing universe full of wonders and dangers. It's the same T. The air became less tense as Rex turned around and disappeared back into the bush. The Nephilim were left to think about what had happened since they now knew how important balance was in their new home. They were aware that their presence had changed the way the valley worked, and they would have to be careful to respect the people who had lived here before them. The first time I met the T. The time of Rex was very important for the Nephilim. The sight made them think about their place in the world and how powerful and beautiful nature is. It set the stage for future meetings, learning and growing, and the rise of a way of life that respected the worth and power of all living things, no matter how big or small. The Nephilim had found a home in the Valley of Beginnings, which was full of tall trees and lush grass. But they had also found a lively world that they would have to learn about and respect in order to live together peacefully.
