"In 1911, a miner who was searching for raw materials for fertilizer accidentally discovered a strange object in a cave near Lovelock, Nevada. This discovery triggered two official excavations in 1912 and 1924, which yielded thousands of artifacts. During the excavation process, a number of mummies known as the Lovelock Giants were found, ranging in height from 2.4 to 3 meters. In addition, a 15-inch long sandal that had been used was also found, as well as a large stone carved with what appeared to be very large handprints."
