Lost Race of the Giants examines the many corresponding giant mythologies throughout the world, such as the Greek and Roman titans, Norse frost giants, and the biblical Nephilim.

Revealing recent finds of giant skeletons in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and India, the book explains how giants passed on their sophisticated culture and civilisation to humanity before being wiped out in the great age of cataclysms and floods.

Giants are a cornerstone of the myths, legends, and traditions of almost every culture on Earth. Stories of giants are often considered fantasies of the ancients or primitive attempts to explain natural phenomena. However, archaeological discoveries of 10- and 12-foot skeletonsβ€”many of which have been suppressedβ€”confirm the existence of a forgotten golden age of giants before recorded history.

Patrick Chouinard examines the staggering number of corresponding giant mythologies throughout the world, such as the Greek and Roman titans, Norse frost giants, the Hindu Daityas, the biblical Nephilim, the Celtic Formorach, the Sumerian Anunnaki, and the multitude of myths in which the sky or world is held aloft on the shoulders of a giant.

He links these stories to Atlantis as well as other legends of prehistoric civilisations lost to cataclysm and great floods, whose survivors spawned the rise of ancient civilisations. The author reveals how physical remains of giant-size peoples have been found on almost every continent, including recent finds in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and northern India, as well as hundreds of excavations of giant mummies and skeletons across the United States.

Chouinard also examines reports from famous explorers such as Magellan, Sir Francis Drake, and Desoto of their encounters with giants on the North American continent. Revealing how giants represent the true earthborn race, he explains how they engaged in open conflict with the extraterrestrial gods who created humanity for forced labour and how they passed their sophisticated culture and civilisation on to humanity before being nearly wiped out in the great age of cataclysms.
