Horned Giant Skulls Dating Back To Prehistoric Times Excavated In Pennsylvania During The Late 19th Century

Several ‘human’ skulls were dug up in an archaeological excavation in Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in the 1880s. They were all anatomically correct, with the only exception being the two extraordinary ‘horns’ that spawn 2 inches above the eyebrow, together with the average height estimated to be 7 ft. tall.
In the late 1880s, a team of archaeologists, including a Pennsylvania state historian and two professors, as well as a member of the Presbyterian church’s hierarchy, were on an expedition through Bradford County, Pennsylvania. The team surprisingly came up with a series of burial mounds on their way to the town of Sayre.

Dr. Donehoo of the church and professors Skinner and Moorehead of the American Investigation Museum and Phillips Academy in Andover, respectively, led their group to the first of the mounds to start the thorough excavation, only to discover something having baffled researchers for centuries.
The expedition uncovered numerous male skeletons, after dirt and rocks had been painstakingly scraped away, with the burial date guessed at about 1200 AD. Until now, things seem to have gone quite clear and straight. Only until when the archaeologists weighed the remains and carefully examined their structure that they found the height of over 7 ft. tall, applying to all skeletons.
Of course, the unusual height was certainly one puzzling thing. However, further inspections even pointed out something more terrible: The skulls had horns, not only one but two apiece – an integral part of each. Crazily sounded, but they do exist: 7-foot-tall giants with horned skulls existed 8 centuries ago!

The skeletons were reported to be at or above 7 feet (2.1 meters) in height, possessing skulls that had horn-like protuberances just above the eyebrows.
The intrigued researchers meticulously wrapped the skeletons for shipping and sent them to the American Investigation Museum in Philadelphia for further investigation. The experts at the facility expressed their astonishment over the mysterious remains as well, for months.
However, not long after, the skulls were reported to have been lost, misplaced, or stolen from the museum. Neither Donehoo, Skinner, nor Moorehead illustrated their findings of any skeletal remains at Sayre displaying gigantism or horned protrusions in their recored documents.
To make matter worse, articles about the unusual discovey mysteriously vanished into the thin air after making short appearances in journals and magazines. With the articles, the unsolved riddle was gone with the wind, leaving generations forever in question.
