There were GIANTS: Baal, Asuras, Tiwanaku


The MEGALITHIC mystery of Baalbek — Massive stones no one can explain
(Uncharted Mysteries) Nov. 1, 2025: Something about Baalbek (ancient Heliopolis) doesn’t make sense — an ancient platform in Lebanon [next to modern Israel] built from stone blocks so massive that no known method could have moved them.

One of these blocks weighs over 1,500 tons, yet it was somehow carved, transported, and stacked with perfect precision thousands of years ago. The mystery of how and why it was built has divided historians, engineers, and archeologists for decades.

In this short documentary, we’ll explore the origins of Baalbek, who might have built it, and the incredible techniques that made it possible.
  • Baal [6][7][8] or Baʿal [9][a] was a title with the honorific meaning "lord" or "owner" in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity. From its use among people, it came to be applied to gods [11]. Scholars previously associated the theonym ("name of god") with solar cults and with a variety of unrelated patron deities, but inscriptions have shown that the name Baal was particularly associated with the storm and fertility god Hadad and his local manifestations [12]. The Ugaritic god Baal (𐎁𐎓𐎍) is the protagonist of one of the lengthiest surviving epics from the ancient Near East, the Baal Cycle. Known by epithets like “rider of the clouds” and “Victorious Baal,” he [like India's Indra/Sakra and ancient Greece's Zeus] was associated with rain, lightning, wind, fertility, and kingship, and was often depicted in opposition to sea and death deities like Yammu and Mot. More
From the colossal Trilithon stones to the legends of gods and giants, this investigation reveals why Baalbek remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world.

The Asuras (Titans) of Buddhism and Hinduism

Asuras
(Sanskrit असुर) are a class of beings in Dharmic religions [1]. They are described as power-seeking beings related to the more benevolent Devas (also known as Suras) in Hinduism.
  • If Suras are "gods" then A-suras are "anti-gods." In Buddhism, they came to earth when Sakka (Indra), King of the Devas, through them out of his heaven (the Realm of the Thirty-Three), but as proof that Suras and Asuras very closely related, Sakka's wife is said to be an Asuran princess.
In a Buddhist context, the word Asura is translated as "titan," "demigod," and "antigod" [2]. According to Hindu texts, the Asuras are in constant fear of the Devas [3]: 2–6.

Asuras are described in Indian texts as powerful superhuman demigods with good or bad qualities. In early Vedic literature, the good Asuras are called Adityas and are led by Varuna, while the malevolent ones are called Danavas and are led by Vritra [4]: 4.

In the earliest layer of Vedic texts, Agni, Indra, and other gods (Devas) are also called Asuras, in the sense of their being "lords" of their respective domains, knowledge, and abilities.

In later Vedic and post-Vedic texts, the benevolent gods are called Devas, while malevolent Asuras compete against these Devas and are considered "enemy of the gods" [4][5].

Asuras are part of Hinduism along with Yakshas (ogres, shapeshifting nature protectors, monsters, spirits), Rakshasas (fierce man-eating ogres, ghouls, demons), Bhutas (ghosts), and many more.

Asuras have been featured in many cosmological theories and legends in Hinduism and Buddhism [6][7][8]. More

Native monsters: Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Yeti

"Bigfoot" cannibal ogre is recorded in an ancient Buddhist text called the Alavaka Sutta
Ancient indigenous Native American rock art (petroglyphs) warn of Sasquatch creatures in area.












There really are killer "monsters" in the woods
Sasquatches, Yakkhas, Rakshasas, Yeren, Yetis, also commonly referred to as "Bigfoot," is a large, hairy cryptid creature said to inhabit forests around the world and in every state in North America, particularly concentrated in the Pacific Northwest [2][3][4].

Sasquatch is a feature in both Native American and Canadian (First Nations) folklore and since the mid-20th century has become a cultural icon, permeating popular culture and becoming the subject of its own distinct subculture [5][6].

The creatures are given many names worldwide.
Enthusiasts of Sasquatch (Istiyehe) hunting, such as those within the budding science of cryptozoology, have offered various forms of forensic evidence to support the existence of these Nature protectors and monsters (since they differ at least as much as human populations in terms of the behavior of individuals), including eyewitness claims of sightings as well as DNA, hair specimens, bodies, photographs, video, and particularly shocking audio recordings, in addition to a long history of tens of thousands of plaster casts of extremely large footprints [7][8][9][10] with individual fingerprints, as noted by Lloyd Pye.

Original film reexamined and found to be real
The evidence is a combination of eyewitness accounts, interactions, killings, folklore, identification, misidentification (confusing the humanin creature with bears of all kinds), and hoaxes.

The creatures are living animals but to say so causes a great deal of trouble to anyone trying to be taken seriously. Even a body is not enough because the gatekeepers and mainstream media insist and repeat that it cannot be a living creature [3][7][10][11][12][13].


Folklorists trace the phenomenon of these ogres and cave-dwelling monsters to a combination of factors and sources, including the European "wild man" figure, Asian Yeren, folk tales from every continent other than Antarctica, and indigenous cultures [14][15].

When disclosed, what will science say?
Examples of similar folk tales of wild, hair-covered humanoids exist throughout the world [16][17], such as the skunk ape of the Southeastern United States, the Almas (Almasty of Georgia and the Caucuses), Yeren of China, and Yeti of Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, India, and the Himalayas extending from Bangladesh to Afghanistan, including the Australian Yowie [14][18], and frightful (sometimes peaceful) creatures in the mythologies of indigenous people [19][20], who consider them another human tribe.

German Krampus, mean demonic shapeshifter
Speculation, a growing cultural interest in the preservation of the environment, and overall societal awareness of the subject have been cited as additional factors [21]. More: Bigfoot

The Yakkhas of Sri Lanka: Stone Agers


(EBS World) Life with the Axe: Sri Lanka's Last Vedda Tribe

Living a Stone Age existence with magic metal axes
The Yakkha or Yakshi are "ogres" -- Sasquatch, Almas, Asian Bigfoot, Orang pendek (living Indonesian Hobbit), "Wild Men" Yeti and Chinese Yeren -- in Buddhist cosmology and Hindu, Jain, and the lore of the subcontinent. It may be that known human tribes living in the wild were referred to as Yakkhas and Yakshas as well:

Yaksha (Sanskrit यक्ष, Yakṣa, Pali Yakkha, female Yakkhini or Yakshi, likely the source of Yeti) are a broad class of nature spirits, usually benevolent, but sometimes mischievous or capricious, connected with water, fertility, trees, the forest, treasure and wilderness [4][5].
  • YAKKHA: A class of non-human beings (amanussā), they are mentioned with devas, rakkhasas, dānavas, gandhabbas, kinnaras, and Mahoragas (? Nāgas) (e.g., J.v.420). In other lists (e.g., PvA. 45, 55) they range immediately above the ghosts (petas); in fact, some of the happier petas are called yakkhas. Elsewhere (e.g., A.ii.38) they rank, in progressive order, between humans (manussā) and deva-messengers (gandhabbā). There are many different kinds: spirits, ogres, dryads, ghosts, spooks. In the early records, yakkha, like nāgā, as an appellative, was not depreciative. Thus, not only is Sakka, king of the devas, so referred to (M.i.252; J.iv.4; DA.i.264), but even the Buddha is spoken of as a yakkha in poetic diction (M.i.386). Many devas, such as Kakudha, are also so addressed (S.i.54). More: palikanon.com
Yakshas appear in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist texts (where they are cannibal humanoid ogres with telepathic shapeshifting powers of transformation, who are known to cohabitate with human women and produce hybrid offspring, suggesting they are with the same species at least to some extent, the most famous of these being the Yakkha Alavaka and his very wise questions put to the Buddha in Sn I.10 Āḷavaka Sutta, ), as well as ancient and medieval era temples of South Asia and Southeast Asia as guardian deities [5][6]. The feminine form of the word is Yakṣī [7] or Yakshini (Sanskrit यक्षिणी, Yakṣiṇī, Pali Yakkhini) [8]. More
  • These are the remaining members of the Vedda Tribe: The Vedda (Sinhalese වැද්දා, Tamil வேடர் or Vēḍar, also the Wanniyalaeto [4]. They are a minority indigenous group of people in Sri Lanka who, among other sub-communities such as Coast Veddas, Anuradhapura Veddas, and Bintenne Veddas [5], are accorded "indigenous" status. The Vedda minority in Sri Lanka may become completely assimilated [6]. Most already speak the dominant Sinhalese language (Sinhala) instead of their exotic indigenous languages, which are nearing extinction. It has been hypothesized that the Vedda were likely the earliest inhabitants of the island of Sri Lanka and have lived there since before the arrival of other groups from the nearby Indian mainland [7][8]. More

Kirat Yakkha in traditional dress
Yakkha or Dewan (Nepali याक्खा, Yākkhā) is an indigenous ethnic group from the Indian subcontinent, mainly in modern-day Nepal and present-day India (related to other Kirat groups, like the Limbu, Sunuwar, Rai, and more distantly all other Sino-Tibetan peoples). It is one of the descendants of Nepal's prehistoric Kirat Dynasty.

The Yakkha people are subsistence farmers who inhabit the lower Arun valley in Eastern Nepal. They number only a few thousand and their language is nearly extinct [4][5]. They are closely related to Limbu people. More

Bigfoot moves in and out of this reality

It seems clear that Krampus ("Claw"), Satan's Claws, are a class of Yeti/demon/yakshas
Unbelievable NEW Bigfoot footage confirms the myth is true!
(Wild Assault) Brave enough to venture into the woods alone? After watching this video, think twice about it. Let's explore some fascinating evidence, discussing sightings, sharing intriguing stories about the legendary cryptid creatures. From eerie inhuman howls in the night to mysterious footprints with dermal ridges and authenticated photographs, these true encounters will leave viewers believing in the existence of the elusive Sasquatch and Yeti tribes, though we call them all Bigfoot.


If they're so real, where are they?
G. P. Malalasekera, Dictionary of Pali Proper Names edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
Genie in Islam: Ogre, Ghoul, Yeti, Yakkha
Their abode is their self-created palaces (vimanas), which are anywhere -- in the air, in the trees, and so on.

These are mostly ākasattha ("suspended in the air"), but some of them, like the abode of the Yakkha Alavaka, are bhumattha ("on earth," "on the ground") and are described as being fortified (SNA.i.222). Sometimes whole cities/settlements, such as Alakamandā, stand under the protection of or are inhabited by them.

In many respects Yakkhas resemble the Vedic Pisācas (Sanskrit Pishachas, "flesh eating demons" or ghouls), though they are of different origin.

Yakkhas are evidently remnants of an ancient demonology and have had incorporated in them old animistic beliefs as representing creatures of the wilds and the forests.

Some of this is based on ethnological features. (See Stede Gespenstergeschichten des Petavatthu v. 39 ff).

In later literature the Yakkhas were degraded to a state of "red eyed cannibal ogres." The female Yakkhas (Yakkhinīs) are, in these cases, more fearful and evil-minded than the males. (See Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Female of the Species").

They eat flesh and drink blood (J.iv.549; v.34) and kill human beings (D.ii.346; J.ii.15ff.) and devouring corpses (J.i.265). They are known to eat babies (J.v.21; vi.336) and are full of spite and vengeance (DhA.i.47; ii.35f.).

The story of the Buddhist monk Bhūta Thera is interesting because his elder brothers and sisters were devoured by a hostile Yakkha. The last child is named Bhūta to propitiate the Yakkha by making him the child's sponsor (godparent).

Ordinarily the attitude of the Yakkhas towards humans is one of benevolence. They are interested in the spiritual welfare of the human beings with whom they come in contact and somewhat resemble tutelary genies (djinn, jinn of Islamic lore). More
  • How is it possible that they are benevolent protectors of the forest AND bloodthirsty cannibals? Not all Yakkhas (Yetis, Sasquatches, Bigfoot) are alike, as Himalayan Buddhist lore informs us today:
Why should anyone waste time or bother to believe in these "legendary" creatures?
Buddhist texts are very familiar with this class of not-quite-human (but very humanoid) creature known as Yakkhas (female Yakkhini, possibly the etymological root of the word Yeti). Older Indian (Brahminical, Vedic, Hindu, Jain) texts predating Buddhism often speak of Rakshasas.

This man caught proof that Bigfoot is dimensional
  • The hundreds of Native American tribes in the U.S. (to say nothing of those in the rest of the Americas, north of Canada and south of Mexico) all have names for these very real creatures, who are known not to be limited to this dimension: They come in and out of our reality.
  • If they are not from "here" (our reality on this plane or planet, which is but a tiny part of the human plane or manussya loka), where are they from?
  • The texts seem to suggest they are from the "first heaven" or space plane above our world, known as the Realm of the Four Sky Kings (Catummaharajika deva loka), the quadrants in the sky (North, East, West, South) overseen by four regents who report to the next plane above that. So when Chewbacca or other prison planet detainees alight on this world, having come down on "a small moon" (UFO craft), it might be that they are being brought here from there. Of course, there being many types, they often enter through portals (stargates, anomalous wormholes, ancient passageways, or through superior technology than we are told about in Popular Mechanics and the mainstream press).
Moreover, Himalayan Vajrayana Buddhists throughout the Tibet and other parts of the Himalayas like Nepal and Bhutan know them to be real, defining them not as a singular creature ("the Abominable Snowman") but a tribe or class of monstrous creatures.

Their detailed descriptions divide them into three distinct types such that we should not classify all of them simply as "Bigfoot" or "Yeti" but specify, where possible, what type.
  • Tibetan lore describes three main varieties of Yetis. The first of these is the Nyalmo, which has black fur and is the largest and fiercest, standing around 15 feet tall.
  • The second is the Chuti, which stands about 8 feet tall and lives 8,000 and 10,000 feet (2,400-3,000 meters) above sea level.
  • The third is the Rang Shim Bombo, which has reddish-brown fur and stands 3 to 5 feet (0.91-1.52 m) tall [12].
  • Other terms used by Himalayan peoples do not translate exactly the same but refer to legendary and indigenous wildlife:
  • Michê (Tibetan མི་དྲེད་, Wylie mi dred, ZYPY Michê) translates as "man-bear" [8, 13].
  • Dzu-teh – dzu translates as "cattle" and the full meaning translates as "cattle bear," referring to the Himalayan brown bear [7, 10, 14, 15]
  • Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan མི་རྒོད་, Wylie mi rgod, ZYPY Migö/Mirgö) translates as "wild man" [10, 15]
  • Bun Manchi – Nepali for "jungle man" that is used outside Sherpa communities where Yeti is the common name [16]
  • Mirka – another name for "wild-man," as local legend holds that "anyone who sees one dies or is killed," this being taken from a written statement by Frank Smythe's Sherpas in 1937 [17]
  • Kang Admi – "Snow Man" [15]
  • Jungli Admi – "Wild Man" [18]
  • Xueren (Chinese 雪人, Yerin) – "Snow Man" with a story from China about one who mated with a human woman to produce a giant boy of diminished faculties but great strength and hunger.
Other names and locations
In Russian folklore, the Chuchuna is an entity said to dwell in Siberia. It has been described as 6 to 7 feet tall and covered with dark hair.

According to the native accounts from the nomadic Yakut [Yakutia being the coldest place on earth where people live] and Tungus tribes, it is a well-built, Neanderthal-like man wearing pelts and bearing a white patch of fur on its forearms.

It is said to occasionally consume human flesh, unlike their close cousins, the Almastis (Almas). Some witnesses reported seeing a tail on the creature's corpse. It is described as being roughly 6 to 7 feet tall. (Lloyd Pye was sure the Almas are surviving Neanderthal humans (who are able to successfully mate with humans, as happened in at least one historical case in the country of Georgia).

There are additional tales of large, reclusive, bipedal creatures worldwide, notably including both "Bigfoot" and the "Abominable Snowman." More


REALM OF THE FOUR KINGS
  • Buddhist cosmology describes a plane of existence known as the World of the Four Great Regents or Sky-Kings, the Cāturmahārājikakāyika चातुर्महाराजिक or Cātummahārājika चातुम्महाराजिक (Tibetan རྒྱལ་ཆེན་བཞི་, Wylie rgyal chen bzhi, Vietnamese Trời Tứ Thiên Vương, Chinese 四大天王, Japanese Shidaiōshu-ten, Burmese စတုမဟာရာဇ်, Thai จาตุมฺมหาราชิกา or จาตุรมหาราชิกกายิกา).
This deva realm of "the Four Great Kings" is one plane up from our human plane world. Its height is described colloquially as the lower slopes of Mt. Sumeru (a kind of Mt. Olympus in ancient Indian cosmologies, the "world mountain" or axis mundi.

Some of its inhabitants live in the air (in vimanas, motherships, UFOs, platforms, and "heavenly palaces" of all descriptions) around the mountain. Earth is described as the base of this central mountain. Each quadrant in the sky has a ruler or regent who reports to Sakka, King of the Devas. These four great regents or kings are:
  1. Virūḍhaka विरूढकः, king of the Southern Direction, ruler the kumbandas (dwarves);
  2. Dhṛtarāṣṭra धृतराष्ट्रः, king of the Eastern Direction, ruler of the gandhabbas (the lowest rank of devas, servants of superior devas, entertainers, "heavenly musicians");
  3. Virūpākṣa विरूपाक्षः, king of the Western Direction, ruler of the nagas (reptilians, dragons, serpents, reptoids, Draconians); and their leader
  4. Vaiśravaṇa वैश्रवणः, also known as Kuvera, king of the Northern Direction, ruler of the yakkhas (Yetis, Sasquatches, Bigfoots, ogres, djinn, genies, ghouls).
Ultimately, all four are accountable to deva King Sakka (Sakra, King of the Gods, Indra), ruler of the next plane up, which is known as the "World of the Thirty-Three" (Tavatimsa deva loka).
  • They are the martial regents who guard the four quarters of the Earth. The Garudas (Avians, Birdmen, Harpies) and the devas (sky navigating "shining ones") who guide the Sun and Moon are also considered part of this world, as are the retinues of these four kings, composed of Kumbhāṇḍas कुम्भाण्ड (dwarfs), Gandharvas गन्धर्व (fairies), Nāgas नाग (dragons) and Yakṣas यक्ष (goblins).
  • These devas also inhabit remote areas such as forests, hills, and abandoned caves. Though living in misery, they have the potential for enlightenment and can attain the path and fruits of the spiritual life just as humans can if they hear the Dharma. (This is why the Buddha is known as "the teacher of gods and men," which are the devas and humans).
  • How far away is this world? The height of this world is from sea-level up to 40 yojanas (1 yojana roughly equaling 7 miles) above the Earth.

Sasquatch can be smarter than humans

But Buddhists can't believe in real monsters, can they? That's just a myth, like "Bigfoot."

What could an ogre ask the Buddha?
Readers will find this fanciful story easy to dismiss and completely discount because we have not heard of these superhuman capabilities in our culture. However, the Islamic world knows about a kind of "demon" or "ogre" (the genies as we label them from terrifying tales of djinn or jinn in countless stories from Muslim tradition). A genie does not grant wishes; it deceives and devours humans and other creatures. They live in wilderness areas and seize those who cross their territory, but as terrible as they are, they are far more clever, deceptive, and capable than we ever give them credit for being.

Demon "genies" or djinn in Islam
If a human escapes their clutches, it is either by divine intervention, wit, luck, or because these ghoulish ogres live by rules or some code of honor we as humans no longer seem to feel bound by. They may lie to trick us into their clutches, but that goes to show that they can think, plan, shapeshift, speak, mimic us (however imperfectly), speak in a human voice as well as having their own language and telepathic powers, and seemingly possess the power to switch dimensions. They are not strictly skin and bones. These features are comparable to Buddhist stories about them. The most famous story may be the Alavaka Sutta ("Discourse to the Bigfoot named Alavaka," Sn 1.10). But a more colorful one full of details runs like this:

The Bodhisatta (the "Being bent on enlightenment" or "Buddha-to-be") was reborn into a merchant family. He was going to travel through a great wilderness on business in the Apannaka Jataka, "Crossing the Wilderness" (Jat 1). Another merchant, the man who in a subsequent life would go on to become Devadatta (the worst monk in history, the Judas figure in Buddhism) was hasty and went first along with his caravan of men only to meet very clever ogres (Yakkhas, Jinn, Rakshasas, potentially ghoulish and vicious Bigfoot cryptids as described above). They destroy him. The Bodhisatta, being wiser and understanding what has happened and why, passes through the same wilderness but does not succumb to the monsters' deception and thereby passes safely.
  • The ogre (yakkha, nature protector, ghoul) haunting that wilderness had been watching. When the reached the middle, he used his superhuman powers to conjure up a carriage drawn by pure white young bulls. With a retinue of a dozen disguised ogres (yakkhas) carrying swords and shields, he rode along in his carriage like a mighty lord. His hair and clothes were wet...
This allegedly true story is not about the fake AI photos at Minute 0:04.
Those two gorilla suit pictures with watermarks have been debunked. 
It is about the much stranger selfie taken of a real Yakkha at work.
This video illustrates how smart Sasquatches are w/o shapeshifting.
Sasquatch and the logging industry | What are they hiding about Bigfoot?

(Smokey Sasquatch Stories & Survival) Premiered Dec. 8, 2024: In this Sasquatch/Bigfoot (Yakkha, Djinn, Genie, Rakshasa, Yeti) encounter, an American man recounts a mysterious occurrence in the wilderness of Washington State during an old-time logging expedition.

The largest lumberjack mysteriously went missing and later recounted his story of survival after being abducted by these very intelligent creatures, the giants of the forest and its protectors.

This is a historical Sasquatch encounter, having taken place in the late 1800s. And it is among the most interesting Bigfoot encounters one is likely to have heard. Why? It is not about juvenile in rut trying to kill a human, but rather about a group trying to stop the destruction of nature and doing so by using their powers for good or at least attempted good. They are not human, so they are not sensitive to our needs or very forgiving of our foibles.
