A new theory from the Mysteries of the Ages YouTube channel claims that several man-made lakes in Missouri, including Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock Lake, Bull Shoals, and Truman Lake, were created in the 1930s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers not just for flood control and recreation, but also to deliberately hide the remains of an ancient race of giants that once inhabited the region.

Why it matters

The theory that Missouri's lakes were created to cover up evidence of giants adds to the ongoing debate and speculation around the existence of these purported ancient humanoid beings, which has been the subject of numerous books, TV shows, and online discussions over the years.

The details

According to the video, a commenter from Clinton, Missouri claimed that the Army Corps of Engineers maintains control over these man-made lakes not just for their intended purposes, but to conceal the remains of giant skeletons that were reportedly found in the region in the decades before the lakes were created. The theory alleges that these ancient civilizations and giant beings were purposely drowned and hidden under the artificial lakes.
