Dean,
Do you believe there is any substance to idea that the people of Troy came
from Giant livestock. And the Greeks came from the Olympian Gods?

Greg,
What I can volunteer is this- that the idea of the earthly, human race being
populated originally by the demigods is very much highlighted in the
Puranas. In some specific cases, this happened directly. Arjuna of Bhagavad
Gita fame, for example, was the son of Indra the demigod.
And I think that we can safely say that Greek and Hindu legend/history are
offshoots of each other, so there you have it.
Trojans from Giant stock? I'm not well informed on that one, specifically.

In the article Seven Days North of Tibet the polar anomalies, such as
warming, which were experienced by the Nansen expedition, were described.
The Nansen anomalies were experienced more on the Siberian side of the polar
basin.
The following anomalies, experienced by Admiral Peary's assisstant Lt.
Ryder, took place on the other side of the Pole, on Greenland. The
suggestion of a polar opening wherefrom warmer air escapes is obvious to a
hollow Earther.
" Concerning this warm wind, explorer Peary writes on pages 214 and 215 of
his work: "I expected to hear later of our February foehn in other parts of
Greenland, and I was not disappointed. Lieutenant Ryder was living for nine
months at Scoresby Sound, on the coast of East Greenland, while we were at
McCormick Bay. He was about four hundred and fifty geographical miles south
of us. The maximum temperatures he recorded occurred in February and May. He
says (Petermanns Mittheilungen, XI, 1892, p. 256) that these high
temperatures were due to severe foehn storms, one of which, in February
suddenly, raised the thermometer to 50 F, 8 degrees higher than my
instruments had recorded." Foehn storms are warm winded storms which come
out of the north (Arctic) in winter."
