Jim Vieira, Hugh Newman

Jim Vieira and Hugh Newman are researchers who investigate ancient megalithic sites and historical accounts of giant humans. Vieira is a stonemason and founder of the research group "A.L.T.E.R" who has appeared on History Channel programs including "Search for the Lost Giants." He focuses on collecting historical newspaper accounts and archaeological reports of oversized human remains discovered in North America. Newman is a world explorer and megalithic researcher based in the UK who studies ancient stone structures across the globe. He organizes tours to megalithic sites and lectures on ancient civilizations and their architectural achievements. Newman has investigated stone circles, dolmens, and other prehistoric monuments throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Together, the authors combine their expertise in historical research and megalithic studies to examine evidence for the existence of giant humans in antiquity. Their collaborative work draws from historical records, archaeological findings, and global megalithic traditions to support their theories about ancient civilizations and human history.

Readers of "Giants on Record" appreciate the extensive collection of historical newspaper clippings and archaeological reports the authors compiled. Many find the documentation valuable as a reference source for 19th and early 20th-century accounts of giant skeletal discoveries. Readers praise the book's comprehensive approach to gathering these historical records in one volume. Critics question the authors' interpretation of the evidence and their conclusions about ancient giant races. Some readers note that the book lacks scientific analysis of the claims and relies heavily on sensationalized newspaper accounts from an era known for exaggerated reporting. Several reviewers point out that many of the cited discoveries lack proper archaeological documentation or follow-up verification. Readers interested in alternative history and ancient mysteries tend to rate the book positively for its unique compilation of source material. However, those seeking rigorous scientific examination of the claims express disappointment with the lack of critical analysis and peer-reviewed research.
