Marvin Rainwater, a farm owner in the Eastern part of Iowa (USA), 've been trying to dig a new well on the site. A hot day on 23 July 2001, he finally started to work. What surprise of Marvin, when, having dug out a pit of about 2.5 m, he came upon a very solid stone. Trying to take it to the surface, a farmer discovered that the width and length of the stone exceed a meter. After many unsuccessful attempts to shift their discovery from the place, Rainwater decided that, probably, he had met a layer of bedrock, although it is usually not fit so close to the surface. Rainwater in his youth he studied Geology and easily determined that the stone is not like limestone, very common in Eastern Iowa. Further investigation showed that the stone surface has no rude and rough natural breed, and, on the contrary, is a smooth, polished.

The next day Marvin called a few friends from the neighboring farm, to help him to extract a strange discovery. It soon became clear that the stone is not a single conglomerate, and is a plate, fitted so closely together that even a knife blade could not go between them. Each plate was a square the side of which 25 see Rainwater and his friends had cleared the space of a few square meters, but the edges neatly stacked plates are not found. When cleared from the land to the plates was hit with a sledgehammer, I heard the distinctive sound, who said that under the plates is empty space. It became clear that the find is a some unusual ancient structure. The farmer got in touch with his friend geologist, an employee of the University of Chicago. He soon arrived and determined that plate cut from stone, which is not in the territory of Iowa, is basalt, a very hard and dense volcanic rock. Such construction material used by ancient Egyptians to build a giant, fired the imagination of monuments. The depth at which were found polished plates, testified to the fact that they are here for a very long time, perhaps, it was built before the ice age. Geologist came to the conclusion that the finding of the farmer can be very valuable.

Soon came to the farm scientific expedition from the University of Chicago, which included archaeologists and anthropologists, experts on indigenous tribes of the North American continent. When the stone slabs cleared, it turned out that they are in a perfect square with a side of 50 m Digging around the perimeter, the researchers found that the plates are ceiling some stone buildings, going deeper into the earth. Cyclopean construction were shaped like a pyramid in Marietta (Ohio), although the latter was built by the Indians are not of stone, and of a kind of brick, consisting of sun-dried mixture of clay with a cane.

Excavations took several months, and finally all construction appeared in its original form. It was a square building with no Windows, made of polished stone slabs. His whole appearance was reminiscent of ancient Greek temples. From the Eastern side were adjacent vaulted archway through which the trembling passed researchers. At the end of the passage of a few stone steps led down. From the darkness had smelled the smell of decay. When the light of torches blazed in the darkness, the cry of surprise escaped the logged. Seven statues stood around a conical stone, located in the center of the room. On closer examination it appears that this is not the statues carved out of stone, and the mummies of representatives of some humanoid race huge growth. Mummy was in vertically standing stone boxes similar to the sarcophagi.

The increase in mummified giants reached 3 meters Narrow, sloping forehead, strongly protruding eyebrows. Dense wrinkled skin on the face of the giants had a dark-brown color, red hair was plaited in a short pigtails. Hands mummy crossed on the chest, face down for centuries had some strange mysterious expression, it seemed, they ridicule those who dared to disturb their rest. On the conic stone researchers found the writing on the unknown language and images of deer, horses and birds.

Who are these giants are locked in stone room, and where brought the stone used in the construction?

Very carefully mummies were extracted from the ground and sent to the laboratory of the University of Chicago to study. According to experts, anthropometric characteristics of mummies characteristic for peoples who inhabited North America preglacial period. Unusual is the only huge increase of ancient people. Also of interest are the dresses that wrapped mummy. They are woven with red hair, identical preserved in the minds of the giants. Ancient people made clothes of own hair!

An employee of the University, specialist in folklore, native American Thomas holder made an interesting suggestion. In Indian legends of Lutov mentioned giants with red hair. Laute called them si te cache and were constantly at war with them. Lived si te cache on the territory of Nevada. According to holder, found mummies belong to the members of this tribe, which for some reason made a trip to the East on the territory of Iowa. However, no other historical evidence of the existence of a race of giants, also legends of Indians of Lutov, no.

At present, the study of mummies continues. Perhaps the answer will give a genetic test. Inscriptions on the stone has also not decrypted. What is clear is that the writing is not typical for any of the known ancient languages. Unexplained remains and the origin of basalt. Sensational discovery created quite a stir. It caught the interest of the American ufologists. In their opinion, the mummy belong to any extraterrestrial civilizations, representatives of which attended the Ground and left here their dead. Inscriptions on the conic stone may carry a message earthlings about race of giants and about what corner of the Universe last flew to the blue planet. However, employees of the University, exploring the remains completely clean sweep of extraterrestrial version of the origin of mummies.

Meanwhile Marvin Rainwater sold the farm to people interested in the discovery, and now quite happy, as the proceeds him enough for a comfortable existence until the end of days. A former farmer would personally be engaged in digging wells.
