If they find a red, white, and blue basketball, then a team of time-traveling Harlem Globetrotters broke their time machine and couldn’t get back.

Did a search for the name of the archaeologist and nothing but this subject came up in a few links. Must be an off the grid archaeologist.

Odd.

Skeletons of giants have been discovered for ages. Many have been discovered here in America as well. All have been wisked away to "museums" never to be seen again.

Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them . . .

Gods, Graves, Glyphs, and Giants pingworthy?

Magellan, the first explorer to find and pass through the strait at the tip of S. America named for him, reportedly encountered natives of enormous height when he and his crew landed during the passage. They may have over estimated the height as “twice that of a normal man”, i.e. 11 or 12 feet, and the stories of the Patagonians were eventually considered fairy tales. But the existence of giants among some Indian populations isn’t a new story and, as with most myths, dig enough and eventually a factual basis will be found.

There's many stories of the Spanish Conquistadors running into tribes of giants during their expeditions through the Americas.

"...When we attempted to cross the large lake, we came under heavy attack from many giant Indians concealed behind trees. Some of our men were wounded in this conflict for which the good armor they wore did not avail. The Indians we had so far seen are all archers. They go naked, are large of body, and appear at a distance like giants. They are of admirable proportions, very spare and of great activity and strength. The bows they use are as thick as the arm, of eleven or twelve palms in length, which they discharge at two hundred paces with so great precision that they miss nothing."

From Buffalo Bill’s autobiography:

” While we were in the sandhills, scouting the Niobrara country, the Pawnee Indians brought into camp some very large bones, one of which the surgeon of the expedition pronounced to be the thigh bone of a human being. The Indians said the bones were those of a race of people who long ago had lived in that country. They said these people were three times the size of a man of the present day, that they were so swift and strong that they could run by the side of a buffalo, and, taking the animal in one arm, could tear off a leg and eat it as they ran.

These giants, said the Indians, denied the existence of a Great Spirit. When they heard the thunder or saw the lightning, they laughed and declared that they were greater than either. This so displeased the Great Spirit that he caused a deluge. The water rose higher and higher till it drove these proud giants from the low grounds to the hills and thence to the mountains. At last even the mountaintops were submerged and the mammoth men were drowned.

After the flood subsided, the Great Spirit came to the conclusion that he had made men too large and powerful. He therefore corrected his mistake by creating a race of the size and strength of the men of the present day. This is the reason, the Indians told us, that the man of modern times is small and not like the giants of old. The story has been handed down among the Pawnees for generations, but what is its origin no man can say. “
