Bat guano miners in 1911 uncovered giant skeletons at Lovelock Cave, Nevada. Archaeological excavations by University of California, Berkeley in 1912 documented elaborate artifacts including woven materials, feathers, and grass sandals. Mummified remains reportedly measured up to 6 feet 6 inches. Artifacts are housed at the Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca and the Nevada State Museum in Carson City. Note: No verified evidence supports the 7-8 foot height claim, 'world's most elaborate duck decoys' at the Smithsonian, or any connection to Paracus, Peru specimens.
