Episode 207. Giants in Asia: Ancient Evidence from China & Japan | Travis Roy

If you're new to Travis Roy's research, I highly recommend watching our first conversation, Giants in America, before this episode. It lays the foundation for many of the discoveries and historical accounts we build on as we expand the discussion into Asia.

Stories of giants have been found in cultures around the world for thousands of years, and Asia is no exception.

In this episode of Wake Up with Miya, I'm joined once again by researcher Travis Roy for a fascinating conversation exploring giant traditions throughout China, Japan, Mongolia, India, and other parts of Asia.

We discuss historical newspaper reports, ancient legends, mysterious discoveries, megalithic structures, giant burial mounds, the Japanese Oni, China's legendary giant Fangfeng, giant footprints, unusual artifacts, and whether these accounts preserve memories of a forgotten chapter of history.

During our conversation, Travis shares historical sources, maps, photographs, and even a massive 30-pound stone hatchet head connected to one of his research areas. We also explore giant traditions found in Europe, the Caribbean, and North America and discuss whether these accounts from around the world may point to something much bigger than isolated legends.

Topics discussed include:

• Giants in China, Japan, Mongolia, and India

• Ancient newspaper reports of giant skeletons

• The Japanese Oni

• China's legendary giant Fangfeng

• Giant burial mounds and megalithic structures
