Can't put anything over on Conspiracy Kooks...
Critics/skeptics responded, and here is how there were answered...
Regarding this image:

Roughly speaking, the weight of an entity increases with the cube of linear dimensions.
To support this weight you would expect the leg bones to be much thicker in proportion yet we do not see this in these illustrations. There would also need to be a much more powerful heart.
Perhaps gravity has changed or fakes have been made.

Since they have hidden the finds so that none can see them, the illustrations are not much more than artistic license.

Critic:
Quote:
The author cites a 2002 National Geographic article and implies that the giant cyclops skeletons found in ancient Greece were human-like in origin.
They were of a species related to elephants. And they were not actual cyclops but rather there was a large hole in the skull.
These really have nothing to do with giant humans. They only help to illustrate that ancient myths might have been supported by or created by fossils found by ancient peoples.

Another writer questioned the reliability of using "legends" as "fact" to try and make a point, and wondered if the source researched or knew if the data had been peer-reviewed (to check it's reliability):
Quote:
Hi, do these discoveries articles, reports and documents have Peer-Reviewed reports, articles and/documents?
Because there are many scholars claiming that it is all fake and that there is no Peer- Reviewed reports, journals , articles and documents supporting this as strong factual evidence.

The Conspiracy Theorist response:
Quote:
IMO, peer review reports don't mean squat.
What difference does it make if a bunch of old know-it-all farts agree on something or not.
Who's to say what they have been taught, brainwashed or believe is truth? When it comes down to brass tacks, it's all guesswork.
They still think carbon dating is accurate...

Since the article cited by the OP is from a fringe site, and the article is well over a year old, I'm guessing that it is a slow conspiracy day.
The kooks are lagging - haven't heard much conspiracy chatter about the Santa Barbara shootings (yet).
Here, this should keep WHP busy for awhile...
