if you've never heard of death valley well i'm going to tell about
a legend a myth concerning the hidden city of death valley and it's exceedingly hot there
okay the ground is cracked i've been there once and uh it was like a desert wasteland nothing so
there is talk of mummies giants and underground caverns you may say gina no way
yes uh really there's like um this um
account of this very thing and so we're going to read about it
so said a san diego california newspaper in describing an event in death valley in 1947.
death valley is a land of extremes one of the hottest driest and lowest places on earth
with summer temperatures averaging well over 100 degrees
and a long history of humans suffering in the vast desert the valley appears to be aptly named
but people have been calling this rugged and desolate land home for as long as 9 000 years
there are traces of giants found in the desert in august of 1947 a man named howard e hill of
los angeles california spoke before the city's transportation club and told a sensational story
the tale described the work of a man named dr f bruce russell who claimed
to have discovered a series of complex tunnels deep below death valley in 1931.
russell a retired cincinnati ohio physician and a colleague named dr daniel s bovey
who had worked with an archaeological excavations in mexico
several years earlier allegedly stumbled upon these caves quite by accident russell
who had reportedly moved west for his health decided to check out mining opportunities
now this is where it's going to get interesting you all according to the tale
while russell was sinking a shaft for a mining claim he fell into a cave
when the soil gave way and discovered a catacomb of tunnels leading off into different directions
when russell and bovee began to explore the caverns they followed one tunnel where they were
extremely surprised to find the mummified remains of three gigantic men eight to nine feet tall
the giants were clothed in garments consisting of a medium-length jacket
and trousers extending slightly below the knees
the material texture resembled gray dyed sheepskin but they believed it to be taken from an
animal unknown today the room also held several artifacts that resembled egyptian
and american indian designs and hieroglyphs were chiseled on carefully polished granite
the explorers believe that they had found the burial place of the tribe's hierarchy following
another tunnel they came across what they described as a ritual hall these ancient people
that were there they had a ritual hall here they once again found artifacts and markings and
the well-preserved remains of animals including dinosaurs
elephants and tigers later it was suggested that perhaps these bones belong to ancient
saber-toothed tigers and mammoths further russell had described to hill that he and bovee had
only touched the surface of their discovering stating that there were at least 32 tunnels in
estimating that they ran across 180 square miles across death valley in parts of southern nevada
professional archaeologists were skeptical of the story and los angeles county museum scientists
pointed out that dinosaurs and saber-toothed tigers appeared on the earth 10 to 13 million
years apart no one in the professional world of archaeology were interested enough
in the story to check it out personally despite scientists in disinterest dr russell and a
group of investors created a corporation called amazing explorations inc to handle the release
and hopefully profit from the remarkable fine but in the constantly shifting sands
of the deceiving desert russell could not find the site the next time he tried to show his friends
afterward russell disappeared months later russell's car was abandoned with a burn
burst radiator in a remote area of death valley his suitcase was still in the car
of dr bovee he seemingly disappeared into the shadows far away from the mystery
and here's a picture of two men standing next to a mummified giant found in california so look how
tall these are and look how short the men look you know is this a tail is this just
a tail is that all it is i don't think so i think there's so much more to it so with that
being said hello wherever you are in any part of the world hello from my heart to yours love you
