The Paiute tribe named the people suspected of being giants living around that land, calling them Si-Te-Cah, or “sedge-eaters”.

Among the remaining skeletons, guano diggers also found many human-made artifacts. Unfortunately, many of them were destroyed, lost and sold.

However, the area around Lovelock Cave is so rich in artifacts that even though many have been lost, archaeologists have still found about 10,000 priceless items over the years.

Anecdotes say that people can even find red hair. Not only is the hair color of the Si-Te-Cah people unusual considering their location and race, but the skeletons are also the source of countless unanswered questions and mysteries. People found skeletons with a height of more than 2.4 meters, much taller than people of the Paiute tribe or any other human species.

In Lovelock Cave, there are also many smoke stains from fires, proving that there was once a civilization living there.

So what happened to the red-haired Si-Te-Cah of Lovelock Cave? While the theories of archaeologists and locals are conflicting, Paiute legend holds that they were a race of cruel giants.
