Due to issues both foreseen and unforeseen, Excavating Eden is taking a short holiday. While we’re away, feel free to plumb the archives and check out our main blogs (Eden’s Thaw, Koanic Soul and my own blog). Check out the Neanderhall if you need your Edenism fix.

I’m releasing yet another book today: Trolling for a Living, a best-of collection of articles I’ve written in the past year at my own blog, Excavating Eden, Alternative Right and elsewhere. Like with my previous books, if you buy Trolling anytime this weekend (until midnight EST/9pm PST Sunday), you’ll get it for half-off.

From the category of content that would never appear in our modern, enlightened, and free media comes this October 3, 1892 note on the Times’ International page about the discovery of giants in London:
A Race of Giants in Old Gual
In the year 1890 some human bones of enormous size, double the ordinary in fact, were found in the tumulus of Castelnau, (Herault,) and have since been carefully examined by Prof. Kiener, who, while admitting that the bones are those of a very tall race, nevertheless finds them abnormal in dimensions and apparently of morbid growth. They undoubtedly reopen the question of the “giants” of antiquity, but do not furnish sufficient evidence to decide it.
The blurb is referencing an earlier report featured in the London Globe, a long-defunct newspaper that for over a century billed itself as London’s Premier Evening Paper before merging with other papers to eventual become the Evening Standard. Any enterprising London readers up for checking through library newspaper archives for stories of giants from the early 1890s?
