Core claims

Voice of the Believer

The bones have been found, the records exist, and the only reason you don't know about it is because they don't want you to.

Before the Smithsonian blotted out history, giants were mainstream historical discussion — newspapers ran the stories openly, academics debated the finds, and nobody thought twice about reporting that 18 giant human skeletons had been found in Wisconsin, as the New York Times itself documented in its May 4th, 1912 edition. Dozens of other finds like this have been discovered throughout the USA and the world, from burial mounds across North America to megalithic structures no ordinary human frame could have raised. The history books have it all wrong — on purpose. What mainstream archaeology calls anomalies, hoaxes, or misidentified remains are in fact the physical legacy of the Nephilim, the giant offspring described in Genesis, whose existence is further confirmed by the Book of Enoch. If we can prove to you that the ancient Jews, the apostles, the early Church, and Jesus Himself held the Book of Enoch to be true prophecy, then who are you to ignore it?

The suppression is institutional and deliberate. The Smithsonian has systematically acquired, vaulted, and disappeared skeletal evidence that would overturn the official narrative of human prehistory. Researchers who connect the dots between Scripture, archaeology, and the supernatural find their work ridiculed or buried, their evidence confiscated. L.A. Marzulli has dedicated much of his life to exposing the truth that giants did in fact roam the earth, and the resistance he faces is itself proof of how much the establishment fears the implications. From forbidden history and buried technology to the biblical implications of giants, the pattern is always the same: find the evidence, lose access to the evidence, get called a crank.

Control the bones and you control the worldview. If the Nephilim were real — and the archaeological record, the biblical text, and suppressed newspaper archives all confirm they were — then the entire secular, materialist account of human origins collapses. That is precisely why the institutions that hold the physical proof will never open those vaults voluntarily. The sandy graves and stone mysteries they don't want you examining are not historical curiosities; they are the suppressed foundation of an alternative history of the human race, one rooted in Scripture and pointing directly toward a supernatural past that the gatekeepers of knowledge have spent over a century trying to make you forget.

Voice of Reason

The theory under examination holds that physical remains of the Nephilim — a race of supernatural giants described in the Book of Genesis — have been systematically discovered across North America and then confiscated, destroyed, or hidden by the Smithsonian Institution in coordination with the government and media, to prevent the public from learning a truth that would overturn the established account of human origins.

The most important thing to establish at the outset is where the documentary foundation for this claim actually comes from. The primary "document" fueling this narrative was an article published on December 3, 2014, by World News Daily Report, titled "Smithsonian Admits to Destruction of Thousands of Giant Human Skeletons in Early 1900's," which alleged a Supreme Court ruling had forced the Smithsonian to release classified papers proving its involvement in destroying giant human remains. That version of the tale is unambiguously fictional: World News Daily Report's own disclaimer page explicitly states its content is satirical in nature, and that all news articles on the site are fiction and "presumably fake news." Reuters traced the story directly to that satirical website, and a spokesperson for the Smithsonian confirmed it was not true. The Associated Press also independently investigated and determined the story was false. The specific Supreme Court ruling at the heart of the claim — the legal mechanism that supposedly forced disclosure — does not exist. No such Supreme Court decision is on record; and if it existed, it would have been a matter of public record and widely reported in mainstream publications due to its notability. The classification angle is also chronologically incoherent: the earliest technically classified documents in the United States date only to World War I, whereas the supposed discoveries are dated to the early 1900s, before any such classification apparatus existed — and it would be even less likely to apply to an archaeological find.

The "evidence" circulating alongside the claim collapses under the same scrutiny. A widely shared collection of photographs purportedly showing giant "Nephilim" skeletons has been circulating online since at least 2004, with varying backstories placing the finds in Greece, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and India. These images are digital manipulations, including a photograph of a 1993 University of Chicago dinosaur dig in Niger to which someone added an image of a giant skull. National Geographic traced one of the most viral images to its creator, who started with an aerial photo of a mastodon excavation in Hyde Park, New York, and digitally superimposed a human skeleton over the animal's remains. The older layer of source material — hundreds of 19th-century newspaper articles reporting giant skeletons — has been examined by archaeologists and historians and found to be a combination of established causes. Giant skeletons reported in the United States until the early 20th century were a combination of hoaxes, scams, fabrications, and misidentifications of extinct megafauna, with examples ranging from 7 to 20 feet tall reported across many states. One Tennessee "giant," confirmed by preachers, doctors, and journalists to be human, was taken to New Orleans where medical doctor William Carpenter identified it at a glance as the remains of a young mastodon. Large mastodon and mammoth limb bones could be mistaken for human femurs or tibiae when found isolated or fragmented, and this confusion was exacerbated by early excavators who lacked forensic training and projected humanoid forms onto ambiguous fossils amid widespread public fascination with biblical giants. Smithsonian curator of anthropology Aleš Hrdlička, who systematically investigated such claims, attributed the reports to a "will to believe" coupled with amateur anthropologists who were unfamiliar with human anatomy — and he noted the frequency of such reports was running at two or three per month. Archaeologist Donald Ball later collected articles about giant skeletons purportedly found in burial mounds dating as far back as 1845 and determined that when the claims were scrutinized, they did not reveal giant skeletons. The reasoning failure embedded in the coverup claim is also self-defeating: the Smithsonian's role in actively debunking the giant skeleton claims is itself what led to the conspiracy theory that it was destroying the bones to conceal their existence. In other words, vigorous institutional skepticism was reinterpreted as evidence of suppression — a structure that renders the theory unfalsifiable by design. Any denial becomes confirmation.

There is a legitimate grievance lurking underneath this mythology, one that has been systematically hijacked. The Smithsonian's Bureau of Ethnology did encourage the sending of Native American bones from mound excavations to its Mound Exploration Division, and prior to the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, the Smithsonian collected over 18,000 such skeletons. Up to and into the 20th century, museums and federal agencies created collections of Native American human remains unearthed during expeditions on tribal homelands; for Native American peoples, the desecration of their ancestors' resting places and removal of remains caused significant cultural pain. This is a real and documented institutional wrong, one serious enough to require a federal law — NAGPRA — to begin remedying it. The Smithsonian today holds in storage the remains of roughly 10,000 people, more than any other U.S. museum, and reports its repatriation progress under a separate law, the National Museum of the American Indian Act. The Nephilim conspiracy theory, however, does not amplify the legitimate grievance of Indigenous communities whose actual ancestors are in those collections. Instead, it inverts the harm: it frames real Native American remains as evidence of a fictional supernatural race, erasing Indigenous identity in the process and redirecting the valid moral charge of institutional misconduct into an unfalsifiable supernatural narrative centered on biblical validation. The conspiracy has also been freighted with a racial dimension — a "lost white race of Bible giants" positioned as proof of a civilization that preceded and surpassed Native Americans — despite the fact that the Nephilim were technically cast as villains in Genesis itself.

The concrete harms are not abstract. A Missouri Republican congressman stated his belief that giants were real and spoke at NephCon 2025, a conference organized around hunting Nephilim remains. His attendance came only weeks before the Trump administration sent a letter to the Smithsonian demanding a full review to ensure exhibits conform to the president's vision of history. When a fabricated satirical story becomes the basis for congressional action against a research institution, it has crossed from fringe curiosity into a direct threat to scientific infrastructure and institutional independence. The claim also crowds out the legitimate, documented, and legally recognized injustice of how Indigenous remains have actually been handled — replacing a real reckoning with a fantasy that serves entirely different cultural and political ends.
