In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, archaeologists and curious explorers alike ventured to these giant sentinels, discovering the secrets hidden within their massive stature. I embarked on a video journey to learn more about the towering giants found in Wisconsin.
These monumental figures stood a staggering 8 to 10 feet tall and virtually dіѕаррeагed without a trace after being deposited in the museum. Most of the sentinels found in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were part of ancient Indian tomЬѕ.
