Ancient Origins IRAQ Tour

Carol Ann1's picture

I got an interesting friend request this week on FaceBook and accepted it after checking it out.  Tangata Whenua has a blog about 

legends of giants from a wide range of islands in the Pacific which I had not seen before, and thought I would share the 

link for others who might have an interest in the topic of giants like I do.  "Those Here Before the Maori Arrived" :

Carol Ann1,

A fascinating topic. It is amazing to see how each and every culture found a way to incorporate giants into their traditions, some of which still persist today. From the ancient Greeks to the Bible and many more. In fact, I am finishing up a fascinating book on Brutus (of Troy), the mythological founder of Britain. His story is one that involves plenty of giants. Thank you very much for the link. I will have to spend more time reading through it shortly.
