Solomon Islands Giants: Do They Still Exist?

If there is a location on earth that still houses ancient giants who have retained their culture en masse, it would be the Solomon Islands. 

The Solomon Islands are in the South Pacific Northeast of Australia, east of Indonesia.  The giants here are not only spoken of, but spoken of in the present tense - as beings who still coexist. 

I'm interested in the giants of this region for several reasons. One of the reasons is that the reported footprints and bones in Australia, Indonesia, and South Pacific islands are much larger than anywhere else in the world, sometimes placing these giants in the 20+ foot range. As well, the giants reported to land in copper mining areas like Peru, the Imperial Valley, Texas coastline to head up the Mississippi region, were all very well seasoned boat builders and voyagers. If there was a birth place for launching ancient giants, the South Pacific seems a plausible location. 

From native mythology in that location -
Qat, the Great Spirit who made everything, and his twelve brothers were invited to spend the night in the house of a giant named Qasavara. The giant intended to kill them while they slept and eat them, but Qat opened a crack in one of the beams of the house and the brothers hid inside the beam. In the end, Qasavara became so frustrated that one morning he chased Qat and his brothers up a casuarina tree. Qat caused the tree to grow so long that when it bent over, the tip touched a neighboring island. The brothers jumped off and the tree, released from the extra weight, sprang back, throwing Qasavara high into the sky. When Qasavara struck the ground, he died and was transformed into a stone. This stone still existed in recent times: those who desired success and strength in battle would make sacrifices upon it.  Another lesser-known version portrays Qasavara as the gatherer of the spirits of the damned, who he then feeds to mythical monsters.

Source:  According to very numerous local reports, surviving giants live inside the rainforest jungle mountain ranges of Guadalcanal. They have vast cave systems running the length of the entire island. Australian Marius Boirayon, a retired helicopter pilot/engineer who is married to a Solomon Islander, has come across many Guadaleanal people who believe these giants can travel from cast to west through these cave systems without seeing the light of day. It is believed that their population numbers in the thousands.

One credible witness to these is a once Prime Minister and the previous Guadalcanal Premier, Ezekiel Alebua. He recalls that when he was a child his father took him to a burial cave in east Guadalcanal. Inside was a complete skeleton that must be around 15 feet in length. To the local population on Guadalcanal, giants are common knowledge. Interaction with giants has been frequent through their history. The giant’s territory is a 1,000 square kilometre area of mountains covered in tropical jungle west of Mount Popomanaseu.

Local tribes, not only in Guadalcanal, but in most parts of the Solomon Islands have recorded a tumultuous historical relationship with the giants. The area is rich in memories of such encounters.  Giants allegedly still survive on Santa Isabel Island. Although they are fewer in number than on Guadalcanal, there are two areas where they live. Any local person is able to steer you in the right direction.  Another of the Solomon Islands is Choiseul. The island of Choiseul is not small. Some 300 kilometres long by 80 kilometres wide, it numerous villages. But there is one large area of its interior where no village exists. And apparently with good reason…living giants.


There is an incident spoken of in which miners in 1998 began to plow away areas to prospect. A bulldozer broke down and they left it for the night. When they came back, the blade was gone; a very heavy object to carry away. Not far from there, they found 3-foot long bare human footprints and about a 100 meters away, the blade was found.

Some officials headed up to see the new gold prospecting area and got stuck in the mud. They had to walk back to the village. When they came back, the car was back on the road again. Not only that, but supposedly a giant man was seen at the front of the car, another at the rear. The men ran in fear and when they came back later, the giants were gone, the car was on the road, and the footprints showed that, indeed, these giants had righted the car. 

In one village where giant bones are regularly popping up, one tent is supposedly supported by an 8-foot long femur. If proportions were similar to humans, that would make the fellow about ... 32 feet tall!  And, incidentally, that 3-foot long track mentioned above? That fella would be about the same height approximately.

Are there still giants on the Solomon Islands? Well, given the extensive amount of mountains rainforests forever in the fog and not explored, the tons of cave systems, and relative underdevelopment of the lands, it would seem the most likely place on earth.
