Excavations
Main article: Lovelock Cave
A written report by James H. Hart, the first of two miners to excavate the cave in the fall of 1911, recalls that in the north-central part of the cave, about four feet deep, "was a striking looking body of a man 'six feet six inches tall.' His body was mummified and his hair distinctly red."[11] Unfortunately in the first year of mining, some of the human remains and artifacts were lost and destroyed. "The best specimen of the adult mummies was boiled and destroyed by a local fraternal lodge, which wanted the skeleton for initiation purposes."[12]

Adrienne Mayor writes about the Si-Te-Cah in her book Fossil Legends of the First Americans.[13] She suggests that the "giant" interpretation of the skeletons from Lovelock Cave and other dry caves in Nevada was started by entrepreneurs setting up tourist displays and that the skeletons themselves were of normal size. However, about a 100 miles north of Lovelock there are plentiful fossils of mammoths and cave bears, and their large limbed bones could easily be thought to be those of giants by an untrained observer. She also discusses the reddish hair, pointing out that hair pigment is not stable after death and that various factors such as temperature, soil, etc. can turn ancient very dark hair rusty red or orange. Another explanation for the "giant" interpretation of the skeletons may also come from the fact that the body of the 6ft 6in man was described by Hart as "a giant" in comparison to the much smaller apparently female skeletons.[7]

What baffles me is that leading scientists in their fields are unwilling to do any research on these artifacts and bones, WHY?
What has them so fearful of doing what they have studied all their lives to do and having a potential breakthrough discovery, but instead it's all ignored, sweep it under the rug and shut up!
If a new magnificent tomb was found in the valley of the kings would we also ignore it? So why stick our heads in the sand over this issue and many others like it?
