Giant skeletons - fact or fiction? Giant skeletons of giant people Giant in Japan 19th century.
Legends about giants are spread all over the world. In the epics of many nations, three-meter-tall people are mentioned. Some believe that giant structures like the English Stonehenge are the graves of giants buried at colossal depths. Throughout human history, evidence has been found that incredibly tall people actually lived on Earth in ancient times.
Race of giants
Thus, in 1931, the imprint of a gigantic human foot was discovered in Mexico City. The existence of a race of giants is also evidenced by eyewitness accounts who traveled in Patagonia (South America) in the 16th century.
A huge copper ax weighing about 30 kilograms was found in an ancient burial ground in Ohio (USA). Another ax was found stuck in the ground in the US state of Wisconsin. Its weight and size leave no doubt - only a very tall person, who also had remarkable strength, could operate such a tool. This ax is now in the collection of the Missouri Historical Society.
During excavations in Siberia in the 60s, Soviet archaeologists became the owners of another unique find: dinosaur bones with a huge arrowhead sticking out of them.
Footprints in the sand
Not far from the city of Carson City (Nevada, USA), prints of a whole chain of footprints of bare feet were discovered in sandstone. The prints are very clear, and even a non-specialist can see that these are human footprints. The only thing that confuses scientists is the length of the foot, forever imprinted in sandstone, is almost 60 centimeters! The age of the find is about 248 million years!
But the imprint of a human foot discovered in Turkmenistan is 150 million years old. Scientists testify that the foot of our distant ancestor is different from the foot modern man only by its incredible size. Next to this print there is a clear trace of a three-toed dinosaur paw! All this indicates only one thing - our ancestors could well have been giants. They existed in prehistoric times and hunted giant lizards, which looked not so huge next to these people.
The Man from Wilmington and the Giant from Cern
Yes and images giant people can be found in almost all countries. The most famous of them are the giants of Britain. These are the 70-meter “man from Wilmington” (Sussex County) and the 50-meter “Giant from Cern” (Doroeth County), the figures of the giants are located on the chalk hills. The ancient people removed the turf and grass there in such a way that the white base of the hills was exposed. The white outline of huge human figures is perfectly visible against the green background when viewed from an airplane.
Residents of Atlantis
So who were these giant people? According to anthropologists, powerful people distinguished by their gigantic growth, or, as they are commonly called, Atlanteans, inhabited America, Europe, Asia Minor and South Caucasus.
The “Caucasian branch” of the Atlantean civilization, whose heyday occurred in the tenth millennium BC, was adjacent to the Aryan tribes in the north who settled in Eastern Europe, Black Sea and Volga region.
Six thousand years ago, the Aryans moved to Western Asia and India. In the Black Sea region they encountered the Atlanteans. The civilized Atlanteans, who, judging by the myths, did not even eat meat, began to be crowded out by barbarians. This is apparently where the legends about the fight against the titans came from. So the history of the Atlanteans before the flood is a century of struggle with the Aryans.
Amazing ending
Scientists determine the date of the flood as 3247 BC. It is precisely because of this terrible catastrophe and Atlantis perished.
A terrible earthquake destroyed the Dardanelles Isthmus, and the waters of the Mediterranean flooded the coasts of the Marmara and Black Seas. Many Atlantean cities were under water. This was the end ancient civilization. However, the Atlanteans did not disappear without a trace. A huge number of myths among different peoples tell about the giants of antiquity. The Atlanteans also had a great influence on the culture of the Slavs. After all, it was the giant Triptolemus who helped the Scythian-Slavs switch to agriculture. Most likely, the hero Svyatogor was also an Atlantean.
Caucasian crypt
As already mentioned, the remains of an ancient civilization are found here and there. So, in 1912, in one of the gorges of the North Caucasus (in the current territory Stavropol Territory) a crypt with the remains of giant people was found. The huge stone crypt had a low ceiling, and its interior walls were lined with tightly fitted stones. Four human skeletons lay exactly in the center. The bones amazed scientists with their size. People who found last refuge in the “Caucasian crypt”, were one and a half times taller than a modern person. All four skeletons were positioned with their heads to the west. Apparently, the giants were buried naked, since scientists did not find the remains of clothing in the crypt. Archaeologists were also struck by the peculiarity of the giants’ cranial bones. Just above the temples, the skulls had spherical growths the size of a little finger, which scientists dubbed “horns.”
Unfortunately, reports of this sensational discovery were soon replaced by even more sensational news of the sinking of the Titanic. The author was unable to clarify where the remains of the giants went...
Resident of Ukraine Leonid Stadnyuk.
56 year old resident autonomous region Inner Mongolia Bao Xishun, who is two meters 36 centimeters tall, met his fiancee Xia Shujuan, who is only one meter 68 centimeters tall, at the beginning of the year. Bao began his worldwide search for a bride in 2006 and even received more than 20 responses from interested girls from different parts of the country, but he found his destiny in his home region.

"...a gentle giant, a giant of giants,
great of nature, but with the kindest nature
and a heart as true and tender as ever beat."
William J. Day
Sometimes you need to be silent. No one needs it, you. So I’m silent. To clenched jaws, which you remember only when your facial muscles begin to cramp... But here it fell out of the Chinese Internet, and it’s a pity to ignore it, because it’s so interesting. I'm sharing.
So, the second half of the 19th century, Jiangxi province ( according to other sources - Fujian province), Wuyuan County, Hong Guan Village, where Zhang Shichai ( 詹世釵; the pro-Southern British called him Chang Woo Gow), a man known as the "Giant of China". Legend has it that just a month after birth he weighed as much as a six-year-old child, and at the age of two he was of such impressive height that his mother had to justify herself to unwitting witnesses as to why this big baby was suddenly asking for the breast...
With my first wife.
European citizens, eager for a show, found it in 1865 at an ink factory somewhere near Shanghai and decided to take it around the world like a curiosity ( his height by that time was 2.48 cm). They got to the point that Zhang learned ten (!) foreign languages, cut his braid, put on a frock coat and even got himself a British wife - Catherine Santley from Liverpool, who bore him three children.
After leaving, ahem, the stage, around 1878, Mr. Shichai opened a Chinese tea shop, the Oriental Bazaar, in Bournemouth, selling antiques, Chinese bronzes and silks along the way. He died in 1893, outliving his wife by four months. In the title of the obituary they wrote: death of a famous giant.
Some sources indicate that Zhang's height was 319 cm, but this is not true; the reason for the discrepancies lies in the difference in the translation of measures - Chinese and English.
As contemporaries assured, Zhang’s abnormal growth was not a consequence of illness. According to the giant Han's fellow countrymen, both his father and his brothers were all over two meters tall. Their family’s house was called “the house of the giants”, 长人之家 ( I wonder what's wrong Chinese language into Russian word长 translated both “high” and “long”; "house of the long people" J).
But there were other giants in China in the 19th century...
The Chinese write that in this photo from 1876 we see a nameless Qing giant and a nameless Englishman, but in fact it is the Chinese giant Chonkwicsee and companions. Photographer - A. U. Burman.

Bonus: comparison of Zhang Shichai with famous Chinese basketball players - Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.
Official science is still distrustful of hypotheses about the existence of people in the past gigantic size. However, numerous studies by enthusiasts may well change the usual picture of human history.
Mysterious remains
Traces of the existence of giant people have been discovered repeatedly over many centuries. Reports of skulls or bones being found abnormally large sizes came with different points planets - USA, Egypt, Armenia, China, India, Mongolia, Australia and even islands Pacific Ocean. True, a person’s height over two meters now would not surprise anyone. As photographs show, even in the 19th century there were people whose height significantly exceeded two meters.
However, we are talking about finds from which one can judge the much more impressive dimensions of humanoid individuals. In 1911, near Lovelock in the US state of Nevada, guano mining was suspended, as scientists were interested in the found human skeletons with a height of 3.5 meters.
Archaeologists were especially struck by the jaw discovered away from the complete skeletons: its size was at least three times larger than the jaw of an average person.
During the mining of jasper in Australia, the remains of giant people were also found, significantly exceeding three meters in height. But the real sensation was a human tooth 67 millimeters high and 42 millimeters wide. Its owner had to be at least 6 meters tall.
Perhaps the most astonishing discovery was made by the Indian military. Found in the remote Empty Quarter region of India, the well-preserved skeletons reached a height of 12 meters! However, the place was immediately closed from prying eyes, allowing only a team of archaeologists to approach the ancient burial grounds.
Written sources
Information about giant people is contained in almost all known ancient texts - the Torah, Bible, Koran, Vedas, as well as Chinese and Tibetan chronicles, Assyrian cuneiform tablets and Mayan writings.
In the book of the prophet Isaiah there is a mention of how the Jews were sent by sea “to a strong and vigorous people, to a terrible people from the beginning to this day, to a tall people who trample down everything, whose land is cut by rivers.”
But similar information is also available in later sources that claim to be historically accurate. The Arab diplomat Ahmed ibn Fodlan in 922 described the remains of the murdered giant during his embassy to Volga Bulgaria: “and here I am near this man, and I see his height, measuring with my elbow, twelve cubits. And now his head is the biggest cauldron that ever exists. And the nose is larger than a quarter, both eyes are huge, and the fingers are each larger than a quarter.”
If we assume that the Arab traveler’s elbow was of modest size, then the giant’s height was no less than 4 meters.
Interestingly, Fodlan’s story is indirectly confirmed by local legends about an entire tribe of giants, recorded at the end of the 18th century by Russian explorers of the Volga basin.
Stone artifacts
The traces of their material culture can serve as silent witnesses to the existence of giant people. During excavations in Australia, stone tools of impressive size were discovered near the gigantic remains - plows, chisels, knives, clubs and axes, whose weight ranged from 4 to 9 kilograms.
Similar discoveries were made during excavations of ancient settlements in the Okavango Delta. The collection of the US Historical Society exhibits a bronze ax whose height exceeds 1 meter and the blade is half a meter long. The weight of the find is 150 kilograms. A modern athlete would hardly be able to handle such a weapon.
Even more indicative artifacts indicating the possible presence of giants on our planet are megalithic buildings– we can find them on different continents. Of particular interest to scientists is Lebanese Baalbek, which can only be called a city of giants. At the very least, researchers still cannot scientifically explain the appearance there of stone slabs that fit perfectly together, weighing supposedly up to 800 tons each.
Fake!
A serious debate has recently developed between supporters and opponents of the existence of meganthropes, which does not accept compromises. So anthropologist Maria Mednikova calls the information about the discovery of bones of four-meter people an ordinary fake.
“From a formal point of view,” says the scientist, “it is not confirmed by documented archaeological excavations“, there are no conclusions of specialists - anthropologists or forensic doctors - who could reasonably say what these bones are.”
Cases of outright falsification also cause a negative reaction from the scientific community. Thus, the “skeleton of the giant Teutobochus” - the king of the Cimbri, which stood for several centuries in the French Museum of Natural History, turned out to be a fake, skillfully composed of mastodon bones. It is not uncommon for modern discoveries to be exposed upon careful examination of what turn out to be the remains of large mammals. Also, the “defenders of giants” are discredited by the noticeably more frequent cases of photoshop in recent years.
Habitat
The weak point of the theory of meganthropes is modern earthly conditions. Official science assures that with the current atmospheric pressure, oxygen level, gravity and other nuances, people with a height of over 3 meters simply would not survive for purely biological reasons.
As confirmation of this, they cite the example of people suffering from gigantism - such people, as a rule, do not live more than 40 years. However, their opponents have counterarguments. They believe that in the distant past, conditions on Earth were different, including lower gravity and oxygen levels about 50% higher.
The last figure is confirmed by analysis of air bubbles “trapped” in amber. Moreover, modern physicists have simulated conditions in which the force of gravity became an order of magnitude lower than it is now. The conclusions are as follows: weak gravity, low atmospheric pressure and high oxygen content in the air contribute to the gigantization of biological species.
Here, official science does not particularly object - dinosaurs up to 30 meters high are a generally accepted fact. True, there is one more “but”. The age of most machines of giant people is dated back to millions of years, and during this time even bones turn to dust, unless, of course, they are petrified.
"Borjomi Giants"
However, perhaps the giants lived not so long ago. Representative of the same official science Georgian academician Abesalom Vekua suggested that 3-meter people inhabited the Borjomi Gorge about 25 thousand years ago. The results of recent discoveries, in his opinion, can become sensational. “Pay attention to the femur,” says the scientist, “it differs from the bone of a modern person in its size and thickness. The skull is also much larger. These people lived and developed separately from the rest of civilization, and therefore differed in height. In scientific literature they are mentioned as giants, but there was no documentary evidence of this hypothesis. Thus, we are on the verge of a sensation. But this will be preceded by painstaking work.”
The Bible, Vedas and myths of various peoples mention a race of giants who once inhabited our planet. Ancient legends say that these were Atlantean giants who relied on their physical strength and challenged higher beings or God. For which the heavens punished this race by wiping it off the face of the Earth. Many "grammarists" who wished to interpret sacred texts literally, constantly sought evidence for these quotations. From time to time, people came across huge vertebrae or fragments of other large remains. These finds gave food for speculation that these were giant human skeletons.
Adherents of the extraterrestrial (extraterrestrial) hypothesis also made their contribution. But the public’s interest in the ancient giants was further fueled by pseudo-scientific publications, which from time to time published articles about supposedly sensational discoveries. In order not to be branded as unfounded, they also published photographs from the discovery site, which clearly showed the skeletons of giant people. The photos showed the resting remains of a well-preserved giant, and next to him were small figures of archaeologists. Based on the average height of modern people looking at such a photograph, one can easily imagine the height of the deceased - about 20 meters.
However, a strange trend is alarming. Despite the various regions in which the skeletons of giant people were allegedly found - India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Greece, South Africa, Portugal and Kenya all followed the same pattern. The remains were stumbled across by chance, during geological exploration or while laying roads. The military immediately arrived at the excavation site, cordoned off the region and hid the find from the eyes of the general public. Therefore, in the hands of scientists there was no other evidence left except for a photograph taken from a helicopter.
At the same time, both articles and photographs allegedly confirming the findings multiplied. The gigantic ones were either three meters, then eight, then a record 24. Moreover (as if photographs were not enough) clay tablets began to be found at the burial sites - either in Sanskrit or in Arabic - stating that the giants belonged to one or another mentioned in Vedas or Bible. The inscriptions, naturally, were also confiscated by the evil military, who for some reason were interested in hiding the historical truth.
Finally, National Geographic conducted its own investigation of one of the images in 2007. It turned out that the background for the excavations, during which giant human skeletons were found, was an archaeological expedition from Cornell University. However, in fact, in the town of Hyde Park, New York, on September 16, 2000, scientists found not the remains of an ancient giant, but fragments of the skeleton... of a mastodon that lived 13 thousand years ago.
Soon the author of the “sensational photograph” was discovered. It turned out to be a certain Iron Kite. Moreover, this man did not want to mislead anyone. He simply submitted his photomontage to a graphic design competition held by one of the websites. And he even won an award there - third place. Various Photoshop masters took part in the competition, presenting their works to the jury - from frankly funny to such “almost serious”. In 2007, the National Geographic Society issued a statement that no remains of giants had been found, that giant human skeletons were a myth and a falsification of esotericists.
Recently, archaeologists discovered the remains of ancient people of gigantic stature in the Kuban. They were buried about 4 thousand years ago... We talk about the phenomenon of giant people who lived in the Caucasus and other anomalous phenomena with Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the scientific research public association "Cosmopoisk". “Tomb of the Giants” - What other anomalous phenomena did this year mark? - Firstly, our expedition visited a man who was struck by ball lightning 5 times. He lives in Krasnodar region, in Ust-Labinsk. We went to see him immediately after the fifth lightning “attack”. They took the T-shirt he was wearing at the time of the impact. It is burned through, the edges of the hole are melted,
and we hope that fragments of the substance that makes up ball lightning remain there. We are going to study it in the laboratory.
Secondly,
we were in Ingushetia, where after a mountain collapse a cave opened up, which
local residents called the cave of the genies. I must say that for many
Muslims are very real entities, they believe in them. To this cave
they are afraid to come at night: people there begin to behave inappropriately,
for some reason they take off their pants, feel suspended by their legs, etc. Immediately
after the rock collapsed, riot police visited this place, climbed inside,
but they suddenly became afraid. They got out and threw grenades into the cave. TO
Unfortunately (or fortunately), we no longer found the genies in the cave (laughs).
- You several years ago
discovered a “grave of giants” in the Caucasus. Were you able to explore it? How
since recently there was a message that in the Kuban archaeologists stumbled upon
burials of very tall people.
In the Caucasus, legends about giant people
distributed everywhere. They are called Narts, there are legends about them
almost all the peoples of the North Caucasus.
That grave that we found several years ago
back, is an artificial mound. When looking at
There is no doubt in his mind that this is the grave of a gigantic creature.
The dimensions of the stepped pyramidal mound are comparable to those of Egypt
pyramids, the platform alone at the top is 80 meters long.
It is oriented strictly along the east-west line, which is typical for
many ancient burials. Previously, we probed the hill with a geolocator.
The device showed that there were “foreign” inclusions in the depths. Excavations
have not yet been held, but this year they were not needed: we were invited
to a similar place where a mudflow opened up a stone-lined underground
cavity. This is in Kabardino-Balkaria, near the Georgian border. We
climbed down into the cavity using a rope and found many skulls and
bones. These are not the remains of giants, but definitely the skulls belonged to
very tall people. This means that Caucasian legends about giant ancestors are not
are baseless.
Russian scientists have found the remains of giant people in the Caucasus
The Caucasus has something to be famous for, except
their strict traditions. For the first time in world history, Russian scientists
science managed to discover what was only previously assumed in known
archaeological laboratories. We are talking about giant people.
Giant people
still existed, and direct evidence of this is the skeletons,
found in the Meshoko cave. A huge burial was discovered by local
population, which was immediately reported to the authorities. Archaeologists arrived
to the place of discovery, they confirmed that the bones indeed belonged to
Homo sapiens. Previously, the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks, but
a recent mountain collapse revealed to humanity a large archaeological
riddle.
On March 29, experts cleared up the remains of the giants a little and already said
their exact height. Its indicators range from 3.5 to 4 meters. But this is still
Not all! The corresponding growth also suggested the presence of a huge cranial
boxes. This means that giant people could have been much smarter
Einstein and more capable than Leonardo da Vinci.
When the jaws of giant people were examined, it was discovered
A unique phenomenon for humanity - two rows of upper and lower teeth.
Of course, this is physiologically impossible in the mouth of a modern person,
Therefore, giant people had a sloping chin, which made it possible to fit
all the teeth in the mouth. At the same time, the skull of a giant man has a height of 43.5
up to 55.7 cm.
Archaeologists cannot yet provide more detailed comments. Skeletons
They are now clearing the ground and heading to Krasnodarsky’s laboratory
the edges. As WellNews.ru correspondents were told, the find
US scientists became interested. Perhaps some of the skeletons will be transported
for research in the American state.

Historical chronicles of the 19th century often report finds in different parts of the world globe skeletons of abnormally tall people.
In 1821, in the US state of Tennessee, the ruins of an ancient stone wall were found, and under it were two human skeletons 215 centimeters tall. In Wisconsin, during the construction of a granary in 1879, huge vertebrae and skull bones of “incredible thickness and size” were found, according to a newspaper article.
In 1883, several burial mounds were discovered in Utah containing the burials of very tall people - 195 centimeters, which is at least 30 centimeters higher than the average height of Aboriginal Indians. The latter did not make these burials and could not provide any information about them. In 1885, in Gasterville (Pennsylvania), a stone crypt was discovered in a large burial mound, in which there was a skeleton 215 centimeters high. Primitive images of people, birds and animals were carved on the walls of the crypt.
In 1890, in Egypt, archaeologists found a stone sarcophagus with a clay coffin inside, which contained the mummies of a two-meter red-haired woman and a baby. The facial features and build of the mummies were sharply different from the ancient Egyptians. Similar mummies of a man and a woman with red hair were discovered in 1912 in Lovelock (Nevada) in a cave carved into the rock. The height of the mummified woman during life was two meters, and the man - about three meters.
Australian finds
In 1930, near Basarst in Australia, prospectors mining jasper often found fossilized imprints of huge human feet. Anthropologists called the race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, megantropus. The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Megantropus are similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were discovered in China. Judging by the found fragments of jaws and many teeth, the height of the Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and their weight was 400 kilograms. Near Basarst, in river sediments, there were stone artifacts of enormous weight and size - clubs , plows, chisels, knives and axes. Modern Homo sapiens would hardly be able to work with tools weighing from 4 to 9 kilograms.
An anthropological expedition that specifically explored this area in 1985 for the presence of remains of Meganthropus, carried out excavations at a depth of up to three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a fossilized molar tooth 67 millimeters high and 42 millimeters wide. The owner of the tooth had to be at least 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kilograms! Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the finds to be nine million years.
In 1971, in Queensland, farmer Stephen Walker, while plowing his field, came across a large fragment of a jaw with teeth five centimeters high. In 1979, in Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains, local residents found a huge stone sticking out above the surface of a stream, on which could be seen the imprint of part of a huge foot with five toes. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 centimeters long. It follows that the print was left by a man six meters tall. Three huge footprints, 60 centimeters long and 17 centimeters wide, were found near Malgoa. The giant's stride length was measured at 130 centimeters. The footprints were preserved in fossilized lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Macleay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 centimeters long and the width of the foot is 25 centimeters. Obviously, the Aborigines of Australia were not the first inhabitants of the continent. Interestingly, their folklore contains legends about giant people who once lived in these territories.
Other evidence of giants
In one of the old books entitled “History and Antiquity”, now stored in the library Oxford University, there is a report of the discovery of a giant skeleton made in the Middle Ages in Cumberland. “The giant is buried four yards deep in the ground and is in full military garb. His sword and battle ax rest next to him. The skeleton is 4.5 yards (4 meters) long and the teeth " big man"measures 6.5 inches (17 centimeters)"
In 1877, near Ewreka, Nevada, prospectors were panning for gold in a deserted hilly area. One of the workers accidentally noticed something sticking out over the cliff ledge. People climbed the rock and were surprised to find human bones of the foot and lower leg along with the kneecap. The bone was immured in the rock, and the miners used picks to free it from the rock. Assessing the unusualness of the find, the workers brought it to Evreka. The stone in which the rest of the leg was embedded was quartzite, and the bones themselves turned black, which indicated their considerable age. The leg was broken above the knee and consisted of the knee joint and completely preserved bones of the lower leg and foot. Several doctors examined the bones and concluded that the leg undoubtedly belonged to a person. But the most intriguing aspect of the find was the size of the leg - 97 centimeters from knee to foot. The owner of this limb during his lifetime had a height of 3 meters 60 centimeters.
Even more mysterious was the age of the quartzite in which the fossil was found - 185 million years, the era of dinosaurs. Local newspapers vied with each other to report the sensation. One of the museums sent researchers to the site in hopes of finding the remaining parts of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was discovered.
In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant people on the shores of Lake Elizi in Central Africa. The 12 men buried in the mass grave had heights from 350 to 375 centimeters during their lifetime. It is curious that their skulls had sloping chins and two rows of upper and lower teeth.
There is evidence that during the Second World War in Poland, during the burial of those executed, a fossilized skull 55 centimeters high was found, that is, almost three times larger than that of a modern adult. The giant to whom the skull belonged had very proportional features and a height of at least 3.5 meters
Giant Skulls
Ivan T. Sanderson, a famous zoologist and frequent guest on the American Tonight show, popular in the 60s, once shared with the public interesting story about a letter he received from a certain Alan McShir. The author of the letter in 1950 worked as a bulldozer operator on the construction of a road in Alaska. He reported that workers discovered two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the burial mounds. The height of the skulls reached 58 cm and the width 30 centimeters. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. It should be noted that the custom of deforming the skulls of infants in order to force their heads to acquire an elongated shape as they grew, existed among some Indian tribes North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger in size than those of modern humans. The length of the shin bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.
IN South Africa During diamond mining in 1950, a fragment of a huge skull 45 centimeters high was discovered. Above the brow ridges were two strange protrusions that resembled small horns. Anthropologists who came into possession of the find determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.
There is reliable evidence of the discovery of huge skulls in South-East Asia and on the islands of Oceania.
At the beginning of the 16th century, one discovery made the entire French kingdom talk about itself: a complete skeleton of a man of gigantic stature who lived in a very specific era was found. This was the king of the Cimbri, one of the two tribes that attacked Gaul and was defeated by the Roman general Marius. Nicolas Habicot published in 1613 “A Dissertation on the Frame of the Giant Teutobochus, King of the Cimbri.” This skeleton was indeed impressive because it belonged to a man 25 feet tall. The discovery, which was considered genuine, was talked about for a long time, and the supposed skeleton of “Teutobochus” occupied its rightful place in the Natural History Museum for several generations. This was believed even in the 19th century, but Cuvier, approaching his research more carefully, discovered a cunning hoax. The famous skeleton, submitted in September 1842 for consideration to the Academy of Sciences, turned out to be composed of real fossil bones, but these were not human bones at all: these were the bones of ... a mastodon, that is, a type of prehistoric giant elephant that disappeared even before the appearance of mammoths. This means that the clever “handicraftsman” simply figured out how to give the bones a “standing” position, so that the height and posture of the skeleton resembled that of a person.
It is also usually noted that the presence of giant monuments does not at all speak in favor of the actual existence of giants. Pyramids and megaliths are, of course, impressive, but there is no reason to claim that their creators were of gigantic stature. In the end, Cathedral in Strasbourg - also a huge building, but nevertheless, it was built by people of quite normal sizes, they just owned perfect technology.
And yet there are some very intriguing archaeological discoveries. Archaeologist Burkhalter, during excavations in Moravia, discovered a stone tool whose dimensions exceeded three by four meters and weighed three or four pounds! This, quite obviously, was a used tool, and not at all a symbolic item of household utensils; it is clear that the presence of a votive ax would no more prove the existence of giants than the discovery of huge statues in an ancient temple. But there is much better evidence: an entire city was found in Tiaguanaco, built for people whose normal height was gigantic - three or four meters.
Let us give the floor to our friend Marcel Moreau: “Humanity keeps in its atavistic memory the memories of these giants of the highest intelligence, descended from the gods, giants who guided and taught people. Humanity remembers a paradise lost from the very beginning, an initial high initiation followed by a fall.”
