"In Ohio, within some of the Indian mounds, are the remnants of a race of people who were giants, avg. height of 7 ft or more, and they had twin rows of teeth."

I've read about these. Once I discovered some photographs of some skulls of these people on the internet...It was in an Ohio museum somewhere, but I've been unable to relocated them. The tooth thing is called hypodentology, or something close to that.

Oh yeah, I think they were called Adena Skulls.

I think actually, they were pre-Adena. The Adena brought with them some mound technology. My guess is that the old Indian folklore is correct, that there was a confederacy of what we now think of average-sized Indian peoples, who came together to "annihilate the abhorrent Ronnongwetowanca." I suspect there were a serious of battles in the war, that raged from west of the Mississippi on up the Ohio River Valley. The victors, mostly Adena, buried all the enemy in a series of mounds and fortress walls.

As the saying goes among some tribes, they attacked the enemy and "rubbed them out" (is the literal translation).

The link that I gave above, reminded me of reading up on the topic some time ago.

I became curious because there is a mound that is just three hundred yards from my front door. It is almost 50 ft in diameter and about twenty feet high.

The tooth thing may seems somewhat far-fetched to some, but really it isn't *that* far from reality. In my family, it is not uncommon for the lower permanent teeth to come in before the baby teeth come out. We have always had to make a trip to the dentist to remove the baby teeth aka 'second row of teeth.'

I don't know anything about hypodentology, and I suppose the second row of teeth in question are not merely baby teeth, but it is not a crazy, off the wall concept.
