Giant skeletons and more...

Descriptions of giants can be found not only in the legends of Australia, Belgium, Chad, Chile, China, England, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Laos, Saffiano, the Netherlands, Nova Scotia, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Rwanda , Russia, Scotland, Sicily, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Wales, Zanzibar, but also in the historical chronicles of the 19th century, in which skeletons of abnormally tall people are often reported in different parts of the globe.

I must say that this photo is one of the few genuine ones, compared to the number of fakes and outright falsifications that are circulating on the net, and which you have probably seen. Where truth and lies are sometimes difficult to distinguish here, Photoshop is easy to use, and the result can be very believable. However, even before the invention of this wonderful program of fakes of this kind

enough has been carved. As if someone set out to deliberately make them in order to “expose” them on occasion. A simple method of concealing information, which is now widely used, and allowing the recipient to accept helpfully and unobtrusively, and as a rule, anonymously given half-lie for the truth, and after "revealing" on this basis, completely discredit the truth in general, and even calling it a buzzword " freaking”, which became a label. Treat the recipient in this way, abandoning the “carrot”, make fun of him, making him a “patient”, so that he does not stutter anymore.

There are few material artifacts left by the "true man" (Nam Lu U, as the Sumerians called him). But they are. Archaeologists regularly dig up huge bones and skulls.

But on the site http://lah.ru I read a curious story, illustrated with photographs and documents, of how archaeologists are burying giant human bones that they have just unearthed. Obviously, there is an “unformat” in archeology, and one of the high-ranking “colleagues” can always say - “get out of the profession.” The crisis of the genre, however. Everyone wants to eat.

I happened to read an article about fifteen or twenty years ago, the epigraph of which I remember somehow like this - “. .and people marvel at the huge bones of our ancestors”- it, among other things, mentioned a 20-meter human skeleton stored in the Vatican. It was brought from America by the Spaniards, who believe that they found the remains of Adam. There were also photographs. I started searching the net - I didn’t find anything worthy of a link - there is a mention, yes, but always with an addition, like - “allegedly”. But hardly anyone doubts that there are many skeletons in the cabinets of the Vatican.

The missionaries who accompanied the conquistadors sent a lot of things to Rome. Most of the messages and manuscripts written during their activities in America have become "closed literature", ex-files. And the artifacts have not yet become the property of historians and scientists - perhaps there are some good reasons. Access to the vaults of the Vatican is closed to uninitiated laymen.

Although historians are now so gone that they write not about what was once, but fantasy stories, for which they pay - that's what they write. There is a lot of indirect information that some archaeological research centers have begun to hide the information obtained about ancient peoples and finds. Bones-turtles, of course, are not the most important thing - the artifacts obtained along the way and the knowledge that those who became bones owned were more interesting. In general, as they say, “if something is known to such groups of researchers as the Chicago Society, then there is nothing left to catch the world community.”

It should be noted that not only the bones of the "true man" are destroyed and buried, but even the sculptures of giants, if the "world community" is not particularly aware of them. For example: 180 kilometers from Victorias on the Pacific coast of Guatemala in the 50s, a giant statue was discovered, with facial features uncharacteristic for the local population, grown into the ground. The photo ended up in the local press. And even one of the scientists came then.

But the attempts made to photograph the sculpture after 50 years ended in failure. Only a pile of debris was waiting for the explorers. They explained that, they say, that the revolutionaries destroyed it. What for it was necessary for revolutionaries? The statue stood for who knows how long, it grew into the ground, did not bother anyone, and no one saw it "somewhere in the jungle of Guatemala" - they came, cutting down lianas, revolutionaries and blew it up. Oh those revolutionaries. I immediately remember the marauders in the Iraqi Museum and the entertainment of Napoleon, who gave the order to fire cannons at the Sphinx. They didn’t destroy it, but the nose was beaten off and the muzzle of the face was severely crippled. How to take revenge for something.

Or suddenly, these revolutionary Taliban for no reason destroyed the peacefully dormant statue of a giant Buddha. Actually, there were 5 stone figures: one of normal height, another 6 meters, the third 18, the fourth 38 meters and the last 54 meters. It won't tell anyone anything. Just think - they say, the ancestors had plenty of fantasies, there was no TV, but there was nothing to do - so they practiced stone carving as best they could.

By the way, the farther back in antiquity, the more surprising is the "gigantomania" of the ancestors. Who needed it? What a pleasure it is to work granite with almost flint axes? And is it even possible? The processing accuracy of 800-ton Baalbek blocks is such that there are no gaps between them, and the surfaces are perfectly smooth. Historians who are "turretless" claim they were sawn by hand with copper saws. Yeah. On the other hand, what else can you say? What was it impossible to do then, and now it is very difficult? Yes, here they are these pebbles - feel them. To believe that the stones themselves came and lay down as needed with the help of magic? Well-developed technology is indistinguishable from magic. And magic is a well-developed technology. Know-how, that is, unlike those who don't know

There, 20 km from the Baalbek veranda, a granite block 25 m long and weighing 1000 tons is lying in a quarry. For comparison, a standard freight car carries 60 tons of cargo. Note that the ruins of a Roman temple built on this ancient foundation are made up of relatively modest pebbles. Likewise in Egypt ancient building, - the greater the weight of the "building material" and the more perfect it is in processing - and the larger the size of the buildings. It can only be stated that the antediluvian building technologies of the period called “prehistoric” differ sharply and are much more perfect than the later ones. Degradation is clearly seen in the example of Egypt. Transportation and processing of multi-ton slabs, from which miraculously preserved structures are built, was a common occurrence in antiquity. A number of cyclopean structures tell us that they may have been a match for their builders. As they say, in Karnak, in one of the numerous halls of the palace, now representing ruins, and having one hundred and forty columns, Notre Dame Cathedral could easily fit without reaching the ceiling.

All peoples had legends about giants that have come down to us in one form or another. Giants and titans, of course, with their growth should have had an appropriate life expectancy.
Among the Greeks, the titans who inhabited the Earth were forced to fight with the gods.
The giants Svyatogor, Usynya, Dobrynya, Gorynya are among our ancestors. In Russian epics, unlike some other peoples, relations with the giants developed peacefully and even in a friendly way.
The Ossetian epic "Tales of the Narts" tells about the struggle of the Narts with the giants. They were called Waigi.
In the mythology of the American peoples, the giants were the forerunners of those who created the first civilizations.
The Aztecs believed that the earth was inhabited by giants during the era of the First Sun. They called the ancient people "Kiname", believing that they erected giant pyramids.
We can find images of giants and legends about them in ancient Cambodia, and in China.
Clay tablets claim that the priests of Babylon received their knowledge from giant people who escaped from the Holocaust. I mean flood, of course.
Few people know about the Egyptian giants - their statues can be seen even now. Well, the gods - Seth and his sons, for example. Question. Have you ever wondered how, at best, with copper tools, you can turn a 200-ton block of granite into a sculpture polished to a shine?

The Bible also writes about the giants who inhabited our planet in the past.

Start over. The Lord places Adam in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep his(Gen. 2:15),

The Sumerian chronicles also tell about the same - the True Man Nam-lu-u was created by the Kadishtu Life Designers to monitor the animals of the planetary garden.

This begs the question, where was the Garden of Eden located? Paradise? What do we even know about Ray? Have you ever thought about this? Wasn't the Earth this planetary garden?

« At that time were on the ground giants, especially since the time when the sons of God began to enter into the daughters of men, and they began to bear them: These are strong, glorious people from ancient times.” Gen 6:4.

C strong, since ancient times glorious people. Approximately the same as the Sumerians -Nam-Lu-U Acted as guardians of the Earth until the arrival of the Anunnu. - Nam-Lu-U is the pool of vitality, knowledge and genetics of the Life Designers. Nice people. In addition, they had the ability to move in space outside the body and in the body - fly, levitate, telepathic abilities, the third eye. And they were giants. A slightly wider characterization than in the Bible. Nam-Lu-U were called "immeasurable" beings. And about Adam, some sources write that his body stretched from earth to heaven, i.e. it was also "immeasurable". And only during the fall and expulsion from Ryan, the Earth decreased. Of course, the above is not to be taken literally. But the Bible also contains quite certain numbers.

“Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his likeness, in his own image, and called his name: Seth. The days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters. All the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died."

The life of his closest descendants was just as long, but after mixing with the sons of God, it became less and less long. People began to "degenerate". (We will return to the question of the sons of God later, in the next, 12th part). A certain, then part of the giant people in the Jewish tradition was called "gibborim" (strong), and the other "rephaim" - the well-known Goliath was one of them.

In 1718, the French academic Henrion built a mathematical table based on the study of ancient measures and Bible data, thus tracing the evolution of human growth. According to his calculations, Adam was about 40 m tall. The degeneration became evident already in the time of Noah, who was 33.37 meters tall. The farther, the worse: Abraham - only 9 m, Moses - 4 m. His conclusions are paradoxical - humanity would have to degenerate to the size of mice, if not for the coming of the Messiah.

Whether this is so or not, whether this is the reason - it is difficult to say. In fact, the Earth was once inhabited by giants. Everyone has heard about dinosaurs and Gigantopithecus, but not so much about meganthropes.

Obviously, this was the biosphere - favorable natural conditions, a high content of oxygen in the atmosphere, which ensures a healthy metabolism, a low content of carbon dioxide - the planet until a certain moment, before the first Catastrophe, was covered with lush, multi-tiered and gigantic vegetation. Well, the pressure should be more at the same time. So it was - froze The pressure in the air bubbles in amber showed 8 atmospheres, and the oxygen content was 38%. Therefore, the birds were gigantic - there was something to rely on for the wings. Subsequently, the birds became sparrows, and which were larger than ostriches and fat penguins. With such a density of the atmosphere, the air element was thoroughly mastered by life, and flight was a normal phenomenon. Everyone flew: both those who had wings and those who did not have them.

Many people have dreams in which they fly, perhaps this is a subconscious deja vu.

But back to the Bible:

[Wisdom 14:6] For even at the beginning, when the proud giants were destroyed, the hope of the world, ruled by Your hand, resorting to the ship, left the seed of a generation to the world.
[ Var 3 ] 26 From the beginning there were glorious giants, very great, skilled in war.
27 But God did not choose them, nor did he reveal to them the ways of wisdom;
28 And they perished because they did not have wisdom, they perished because of their foolishness.
You once destroyed those who did iniquity, among whom were giants who hoped for strength and audacity, and brought immeasurable water on them.

And after the flood:
33 And they spread an evil rumor about the land which they were looking over among the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed over to look over is a land that devours those who dwell in it, and all the people that we saw in its midst, people of great stature;
34 There we also saw giants, the sons of Anak, from a gigantic family; and we were like locusts in our eyes before them, so were we in their eyes. (Num. 13:33,34)

And now let's return again to that photograph of the alleged "Nephilim". Decline the word "nephilim" is not correct - "nephilim" is plural. The word "nephilim" means "fallen." Fallen to Earth. And the Sumerian "Anunnaki" - "those who fell from Heaven." One and the same, if we take into account the obvious continuity. But the "fallen angels" did not look like that at all. There is a detailed description of both Nephilim and Elohim in the Apocryphon of Enoch.

Giant people - the ancient inhabitants of the Earth

Historical chronicles of the 19th century often report finds in different parts of the world of skeletons of people of abnormally tall stature.

giant skeletons

In 1821, in the United States in 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 were found "of incredible thickness and size," according to a newspaper article.

In 1883, several burial mounds were discovered in Utah, in which there were burials of people of very tall stature - 195 centimeters, which is at least 30 centimeters higher than the average height of the Aboriginal Indians. The latter did not make these burials and could not provide any information about them. In 1885, in Gusterville (Pennsylvania), a stone crypt was discovered in a large grave 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 1899, miners in the Ruhr region in Germany discovered fossilized skeletons of people ranging in height from 210 to 240 centimeters.

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 features of the face and the addition of the mummies differed sharply from the ancient Egyptians. Similar mummies of a man and a woman with red hair were discovered in 1912 in Lovelok (Nevada) in a cave carved into the rock. The growth of a mummified woman during her lifetime was two meters, and men - about three meters.

Australian finds

In 1930, near Basharst, Australia, jasper miners often found fossilized footprints of huge human legs. The race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, anthropologists called meganthropus. The growth of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Megantropuses are similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were found in China. Judging by the fragments of jaws and many teeth found, the growth of Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and the 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, which specifically investigated the area in 1985 for the presence of the remains of meganthropus, excavated at a depth of up to three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a petrified molar 67 mm high and 42 mm 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, amounting to nine million years.

Three huge footprints 60 centimeters long and 17 wide were found near Malgoa. The giant's step length was measured 130 centimeters. Traces were preserved in the petrified lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is considered correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Maclay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 cm long and the width of the foot is 25 cm. Obviously, the Australian Aborigines were not the first inhabitants of the continent. It is interesting that in their folklore there are 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 kept in the library of Oxford University, there is an account of the discovery of a giant skeleton made in the Middle Ages in Cumberland. “The giant is buried to a depth of four yards and is in full military dress. His sword and battle ax rest next to him. The length of the skeleton is 4.5 yards (4 meters), and the teeth " big man"measured 6.5 inches (17 centimeters)"

In 1877, near Eureka, Nevada, prospectors were working for gold panning in a deserted, hilly region. One of the workers accidentally noticed something sticking out above the ledge of the cliff. People climbed a rock and were surprised to find the human bones of the foot and lower leg, along with the patella. The bone was immured in the rock, and the prospectors freed it from the rock with picks. Assessing the unusualness of the find, the workers delivered it to Evreka. The stone, in which the rest of the leg was embedded, was quartzite, and the bones themselves turned black, which betrayed their considerable age. The leg was broken above the knee and consisted of a knee joint and intact bones of the lower leg and foot. Several doctors examined the bones and came to the conclusion 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 the knee to the 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 place of discovery in the hope of finding the rest of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was found.

In 1936, the German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant people on the shores of Lake Elisey in Central Africa. 12 men buried in mass grave, had during their lifetime growth from 350 to 375 centimeters. Curiously, 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 the executed, a fossilized skull 55 centimeters high was found, that is, almost three times more than that of a modern adult. The giant to whom the skull belonged had very proportional features and was at least 3.5 meters tall.

giant skulls

Ivan T. Sanderson, a renowned zoologist and frequent guest on the 1960s popular American show Tonight, once shared with the public curious story about a letter he had 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 the workers found two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the grave mounds. The skulls were 58 cm high and 30 cm wide. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger than those of modern man. The length of the leg bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.

IN South Africa in diamond mining in 1950, a fragment of a huge skull 45 centimeters high was discovered. Above the superciliary arches were two strange protrusions resembling small horns. Anthropologists, in whose hands the find fell, determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.

There is not quite reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in South-East Asia and on the islands of Oceania.

And the historical chronicles of the 19th century often report on the finds in different parts of the globe of the skeletons of people of abnormally high growth.

In 1883, several burial mounds were discovered in Utah, in which there were burials of people of very tall stature - 195 centimeters, which is at least 30 centimeters above the average height of the Aboriginal Indians. The latter did not make these burials and could not provide any information about them.

In 1899, miners in the Ruhr region in Germany discovered fossilized skeletons of people ranging in height from 210 to 240 centimeters.

Australian finds

In 1930, near Basharst, Australia, jasper miners often found fossilized imprints of huge human feet. The race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, anthropologists called megantropus. The growth of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Meganthropus are similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were found in China Judging by the fragments of jaws and many teeth found, the growth of Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and the weight was 400 kilograms Near Basarst, in river deposits, 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.

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, locals found a huge stone protruding above the surface of the stream, on which one could see the imprint of part of a huge foot with five fingers. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 cm long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man of six meters in height
Near Malgoa, three huge footprints were found, 60 centimeters long, 17 wide. The giant's step length was measured 130 centimeters. Traces were preserved in the petrified lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is considered correct).

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 babies in order to make the heads become elongated as they grow, existed among some Indian tribes of North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger than those of modern humans. The length of the leg bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.

In South Africa, in diamond mining in 1950, a fragment of a huge skull 45 centimeters high was discovered. Above the superciliary arches were two strange protrusions resembling small horns. Anthropologists, in whose hands the find fell, determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.

There is not quite reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in Southeast Asia and on the islands of Oceania.

At different periods, giant remains were discovered around the world, each of which was immediately credited with the title of the largest human skeleton in the world. Dozens of photographs of the largest skeletons roam the net, but there is fierce debate about their authenticity. Nevertheless, there are several finds of the largest human skeletons in the world, the origin of which is beyond doubt.

Top 10 largest human skeletons in the world

There are many legends about giants, the remains of which are supposedly found in different parts of the world. However, most of these messages are fake and do not reflect the real state of affairs.

big skull

The top 10 giant remains include:

Giant of Castelnau - the largest bones in the world.
18 skeletons in Wisconsin - the mysterious history of archaeologists.
Giant skull from Peru - there are alternative versions.
A five-meter skeleton from Australia is a find of recent years.
The Roman giant is simply tall by today's standards.
Cemetery of giants in China - were considered giants in the medieval world.
A giantess from Poland is an unusual woman of the Middle Ages.
The giant from Kentucky is not the tallest, but famous.
Robert Wadlow is a modern giant.
Irish giant- against the last will, in the museum.

Giant of Castelnau - one of the giants of France

The expression "The Giant of Castelnau" refers to the three parts of the incredibly large human skeleton: the humerus, the tibia, the femur. According to scientists, the finds were located in the mound bronze age possibly dating back to the Neolithic. According to archaeologists who worked on the excavations, the found skeleton may belong to one of the largest people in the world, the existence of which was ever known. According to the size of the bones of the skeleton of this large man, scientists have calculated that he could be about 3.5 meters tall.

Photo of the remains of a giant from Castelnaud

One of the largest human skeletons in the world was discovered by anthropologist Georges Vache de Lapouge in the Bronze Age cemetery at Castelnaud-les-Lezes in France in the winter of 1890. The bone volumes were more than twice the size of normal skeletal parts. Judging by the usual intervals of anatomical points, they also had a length of almost twice the normal skeleton.

The bones of the Castelnaud giant were studied at the University of Montpellier and examined by professor of zoology M. Sabatier and professor of paleontology M. Delage, as well as other anatomists. In 1892, the bones were carefully examined by Dr. Paul Louis André Kiener, professor of pathological anatomy at the Medical School of Montpellier, who acknowledged that they represented a "very high race". Nevertheless, he called them abnormal in size and hypothesized that such big size human skeleton was caused by disease.

Of interest is the fact that in 1894 press reports mentioned the further discovery of the bones of human giants found in the prehistoric cemetery at Montpellier. Skulls "28, 31 and 32 inches in circumference" were found along with other giant bones, indicating that they belonged to a race of people with a height of 305 to 457 cm, but there is no real evidence for this.

18 skeletons in Wisconsin - number in doubt

In 1912 New York Times reported the discovery of 18 of the largest human skeletons in the world during archaeological excavations near Lake Delavan in Wisconsin. Their height varied from 231 to 304 cm, and their skulls were much larger than those of any race that inhabits America today. They had a double row of teeth, 6 fingers and toes each.

Pictured are the skeletons of giants from Wisconsin

Many reports state that the largest human skeletons were sent to the Smithsonian, but the institution's representatives deny these claims.

Giant skull from Peru - a dark story with DNA

In one of the Peruvian forests, the scientist Renato Davila Riquelm found one of the largest skeletons, known to the world. The bones of the giant are still kept in the Privado Ritos Andinos Museum in Peru: every visitor of the exhibition can see them.

Large skeleton found in Peru believed to be alien

Scientists around the world have conducted DNA tests based on the materials of this skeleton, but reliable data on their results have not been made public. This causes a number of versions about the alien origin of the largest skeleton.

Five-meter skeleton from Australia - a fake?

A giant human skeleton reaching 5.3 meters in height was discovered near the ancient ruins of the only megalithic civilization, discovered in Australia, which makes the discovery twice as amazing. “Theoretically, a five-meter hominid cannot exist. But how then is this possible? While this discovery is exciting, we are left with more questions than answers,” acknowledges Professor Hans Zimmer of the University of Adelaide.

The world's largest skeleton may be fake

Some experts hypothesized that the one who lived in ancient world the person could have suffered from an extreme case of gigantism: a condition caused by an overproduction of growth hormones. Another part of researchers and ordinary Internet users is inclined to believe that this news is fake, so the photo of the giant is carefully studied.

Roman giant - records of the past

With a height of 202 centimeters, this man was considered a giant in Rome of the third century AD, where men averaged about 167 centimeters tall. Today, however, such growth characteristics are not surprising, because in modern world the tallest person has a height of 251 centimeters.

Nevertheless, such skeletons are extremely rare, because the very fact of gigantism is not common: today only about three people per million worldwide suffer from this disease. Changes begin in childhood, when a malfunction of the pituitary gland causes abnormal growth.

Skeleton bones of a Roman giant

The unusual skeleton was found in 1991 during excavations at a necropolis in Fidenae, a territory administered by Rome. Even at the time of the initial excavations, the archaeological department of Rome, which led the project, noted that the found tomb of a man was abnormally long. However, it was only during a later anthropological examination that the bones were also found to be unusual. Shortly thereafter, they were sent for further analysis to the group of Simon Minozzi, who led this archaeological study. To find out if the skeleton had gigantism, the team checked the bones and found signs of skull changes that were consistent with a pituitary tumor. It destroys the organ, causing an overabundance of human growth hormone.

Cemetery of giants in China - large for that period

In 2016, archaeologists began excavating a Late Neolithic settlement at Jiaojia in China, a village in Chinese province Shandong. They found many interesting finds there - including the ruins of 104 houses, 205 graves and 20 sacrificial pits - but the latest discovery took the experts by surprise. According to scholar Mark Molloy, the bodies of several men ranging in height from 152 to 190 centimeters were found in the Jiaojia cemetery. At first glance, even the lowest scores may not seem like much, but in fact, men would have been exceptionally high during the period in which they lived.

5000 year old human skeletons from China

The remains, dated to about 5,000 years ago, were buried in large graves. One of the people found in the cemetery was even taller than his long-legged peers: based on the size of the large skeleton, scientists concluded that this person was about 1.9 meters tall. The people in the Jiaojia Cemetery would have seemed like giants to the average person 5,000 years ago. In Europe, by comparison, the average Neolithic population growth was about 1.67 meters.

Giantess from Poland - the difficult fate of an unknown giant

In 2016, archaeologists discovered a large skeleton of a 219 cm tall medieval giantess woman. The mysterious remains of the 12th century were found buried next to a church on the island of Ostrów Lednicki in Poland. This large skeleton also had one of the largest human skulls ever found.

The largest skeleton of a woman found in Poland

Researchers analyzing what remains of the woman's skeleton claim that she lived a short life full of trauma and illness:

the giantess suffered from acromegaly, a rare condition associated with an overproduction of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, which makes the bones of the head especially large;
her spine also showed signs of degenerative joint disease, likely as a result of her enormous height and body mass.

The location of her burial in the cemetery is also curious. While the heads of all the other bodies were buried facing west, her head was located towards the east. Both of her arms were bent, not fully extended.

Giant from Kentucky - museum piece

The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded in 1858 with a generous donation from Thomas Dent Mutter, has an astounding display of human body parts and medical equipment. The collection was originally intended to be used as a teaching aid for surgical students, which is why it is so unusual. Since its inception, the museum has opened its doors to the public so that those interested can view various bones, organs and unusual creatures, as well as antique medical equipment.

Undoubtedly, one of the most impressive items is the largest human skeleton on display in North America. The skeleton, nicknamed the "American Giant" or "Kentucky Giant," measures an impressive 232 cm and is on display alongside another skeleton of normal height, as well as the skeleton of a dwarf named Mary Ashberry.

Robert Wadlow - a fatal disease

The largest human skeleton in the world, the authenticity of which is definitely not in doubt, was "found" inside a man named Robert Wadlow, the tallest recorded person in history. His height reached a height of 2.72 m, and his weight was more than 200 kg at the time of his death: numerous photos of this man are really impressive. He had a pituitary gland problem that caused his skeleton to become so large.

Surely many people believe that giants are extremely strong, but most of them are actually quite fragile: a large height and weight of a person does not correspond to the normal load-bearing properties of the human skeleton. So the man with the largest Wadlow skeleton died at the age of 22.

Irish giant - controversy surrounding the remains

Born in Northern Ireland in the 18th century, a boy named Byrne began to rapidly develop physically in his teens. He soon reached a rather high height - 235 cm, which made him famous all over the world and provided numerous media mentions. After gaining fame, he went with a friend across the Irish Sea in search of fame and fortune, discovering in himself a remarkable human curiosity.

The largest skeleton comes from the 18th century

According to the memoirs of Dr. Thomas Muinzer, who studied the life of Byrne, there were many remarkable reports in the newspapers of that time about how he lit his pipe from street lamps in Edinburgh, because he was so tall. He arrived in London around the age of 20 and continued to show off in public, garnering a decent income as crowds flocked to witness his gigantic stature firsthand. Lifetime images of the giant have been preserved, and in the photo you can see only his skeleton.

Documents from the time reported that he told his friends that he wanted to be buried at sea for fear that surgeons might find his body if he was buried in a cemetery. However, despite this, after his death, his remains were taken to the London Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, where they were turned into bare bones. Despite calls from scientists and human rights activists to pay homage to Byrne's last will, his large skeleton is still on display to this day.

Official science is still distrustful of hypotheses about the existence of gigantic people in the past. However, numerous studies by enthusiasts may well change the usual picture of the history of mankind.

Mysterious remains

Traces of the existence of giant people have been discovered repeatedly over the centuries. Messages about found skulls or bones of abnormally large sizes came from different parts of the planet - the USA, Egypt, Armenia, China, India, Mongolia, Australia and even islands Pacific Ocean. True, now you will not surprise anyone with a human height of over two meters. As photographs show, in the 19th century there were people whose height significantly exceeded two meters.

However, we are talking about finds by which one can judge the much more impressive dimensions of humanoid individuals. In 1911 near Lovelock in US state In Nevada, guano mining was suspended, as scientists were interested in the found human skeletons with a growth of 3.5 meters.

Archaeologists were especially struck by the jaw discovered away from the full skeletons: its size was at least three times the jaw of an average person.
During the extraction 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 striking find was discovered by the Indian military. Found in a remote area of India "Empty Quarter" 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 visit the ancient burial grounds.

Written sources

Information about giant people is contained in almost all known ancient texts - the Torah, the Bible, the Koran, the 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 the present, to a tall and trampling people, whose land is cut by rivers."

But similar information is also found in later sources claiming historical authenticity. 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 growth in him, measuring twelve cubits with my elbow. And now he has a head - the biggest cauldron that ever happens. And the nose is more than a quarter, both eyes are huge, and the fingers are each more than a quarter.

If we assume that the elbow of the Arab traveler was modest in size, then the growth of the giant was in no way lower than 4 meters.
Interestingly, Fodlan's story is indirectly confirmed by local legends about a whole tribe of giants, recorded at the end of the 18th century by Russian explorers of the Volga basin.

stone artifacts

Silent witnesses of the existence of giant people can be traces of their material culture. During excavations in Australia near the gigantic remains, impressive stone tools were found - plows, chisels, knives, clubs and axes, whose weight ranged from 4 to 9 kilograms.

Similar finds were made during excavations of ancient settlements in the Okavango Delta. In the collection of the US Historical Society, a bronze ax is exhibited, the height of which exceeds 1 meter, and the length of the blade is half a meter. The weight of the find is 150 kilograms. A modern athlete would hardly have mastered such a tool.
Even more revealing artifacts indicating the possible presence of giants on our planet can serve as megalithic structures - we can find them on various continents. Of particular interest to scientists is the Lebanese Baalbek, which can only be called a city of giants. At least, researchers still cannot scientifically explain the appearance of stone slabs perfectly fitted to each other, weighing up to 800 tons each.

Fake!

A serious controversy has recently unfolded between supporters and opponents of the existence of meganthropes, which does not accept compromises. So the anthropologist Maria Mednikova calls the information about the discovery of the bones of four-meter people an ordinary fake.

“From a formal point of view,” the scientist says, “it is not confirmed by documented archaeological excavations, there are no conclusions of specialists – anthropologists or forensic doctors – that could reasonably state what these bones are.”

Backlash scientific community cause cases of outright falsification. Thus, the "skeleton of the giant Teutoboch" - 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 the bones of a mastodon. Revelations of modern finds are not uncommon when carefully examined, they turn out to be the remains of large mammals. Also, the “defenders of the giants” are discredited by the cases of photoshop that have become noticeably more frequent recently.

Habitat

The weak point of the theory of meganthropes is the current terrestrial 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 have survived for purely biological reasons.

As confirmation of this, they cite as an example people suffering from gigantism - such people, as a rule, do not live for more than 40 years. However, their opponents have counterarguments. They believe that in the distant past, conditions on Earth were different, including gravity was lower and oxygen levels were about 50% higher.

The last figure is confirmed by the analysis of air bubbles "locked" in amber. Moreover, modern physicists have simulated conditions in which the force of gravity has become 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 of the machines of giant people is dated to millions of years, and during this time even the bones turn to dust, unless, of course, they are petrified.

"Borjomi Giants"

However, perhaps the giants lived not so long ago. The 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 findings, in his opinion, could be sensational. “Pay attention to the femur,” the scientist says, “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 growth. In the scientific literature, they are referred to as giants, but there was no documentary evidence for this hypothesis. Thus, we stand on the threshold of a sensation. But this will be preceded by painstaking work.

Recently, archaeologists have discovered in the Kuban the remains of ancient people of gigantic growth. They were buried about 4,000 years ago... We are talking about the phenomenon of giant people who lived in the Caucasus and other anomalous phenomena with Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the Kosmopoisk research public association. "Grave of the Giants" - What else anomalous phenomena was marked this year? - Firstly, our expedition visited a man who was struck by ball lightning 5 times. He lives in Krasnodar Territory, in Ust-Labinsk. We went to see him right after the fifth "attack" of lightning. They took the T-shirt in which he was at the moment of impact. It is burned, the edges of the hole are melted,
and we hope that fragments of the substance of which ball lightning is composed remained there. We are going to study it in the laboratory.

Secondly,
we were in Ingushetia, where, after a mountain collapse, a cave was opened, which
the locals call it the cave of the genies. It must be said 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 themselves suspended by their legs, etc.
after the collapse of the rock, 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 did not find the genies in the cave (laughs).

- you a few years ago
discovered in the Caucasus "grave of giants". Have you been able to explore it? How
once 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 a few years
back, is an artificial bulk hill. When looking at
he has no doubt that this is a grave, and a gigantic creature.
The dimensions of the stepped pyramidal mound are comparable to those of Egypt
pyramids, only one platform at the top is 80 meters long.
It is oriented strictly along the east-west line, which is typical for
many ancient graves. Earlier we probed the hill with a geolocator.
The device showed that there are “foreign” inclusions in the depths. Excavations
have not been held yet, but this year they were not needed: we were called
to a similar place where a mudflow opened a stone-lined underground
cavity. This is in Kabardino-Balkaria, near the Georgian border. We
descended into the cavity on 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 the Caucasian legends about giant ancestors are not
groundless.

Russian scientists have found the remains of giant people in the Caucasus

The Caucasus has something to be famous for, except for
their strict traditions. Russian scientists for the first time in the history of the world
science managed to discover what was only supposed earlier in the known
archaeological laboratories. We are talking about giant people.

giant people
nevertheless existed, and direct evidence of this is the skeletons,
found in the Meshoko cave. A huge grave was discovered by a local
population, which was immediately reported to the authorities. Archaeologists who arrived
to the place of discovery, confirmed that the bones really belong
Homo sapiens. Previously, the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks, but
the recent collapse in the mountains opened to mankind a large archaeological
riddle.

On March 29, experts cleared the remains of the giants a little and already said
their exact height. Its performance ranges from 3.5 to 4 meters. But it's still
Not all! The corresponding growth also suggested the presence of a huge cranial
boxes. This means giant humans could be a lot smarter.
Einstein and more capable than Leonardo da Vinci.

When the jaws of giant people were examined, it was discovered
a unique phenomenon for mankind - two rows of upper and lower teeth.
Of course, this is physiologically impossible in the mouth of a modern person,
therefore, the giant people had a beveled chin, which made it possible to fit
all 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 give more detailed comments. Skeletons
are now clearing the ground and sent to the laboratory of the Krasnodar
the edges. As WellNews.ru correspondents were told, the find
US scientists are interested. Perhaps some of the skeletons will be shipped
for research in the American state.

There is irrefutable evidence that giant people lived on Earth. archaeological finds different years found all over the world confirm this fact.

Historical chronicles of the 19th century often report finds in different parts of the world of skeletons of people of abnormally tall stature.

Australian finds

In 1930, near Basharst, Australia, jasper miners often found fossilized imprints of huge human feet. The race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, anthropologists called meganthropus. The growth of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Megantropuses are similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were found in China. Judging by the fragments of jaws and many teeth found, the growth of Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and the 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.

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, locals found a huge stone protruding above the surface of the stream, on which one could see the imprint of part of a huge foot with five fingers. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 cm long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man of six meters in height. Near Malgoa, three huge footprints 60 centimeters long and 17 wide were found. The giant's step length was measured 130 centimeters. Traces were preserved in the petrified lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is considered correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Maclay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 cm long and the width of the foot is 25 cm. Obviously, the Australian Aborigines were not the first inhabitants of the continent. It is interesting that in their folklore there are legends about giant people who once lived in these territories.

Other evidence of giants

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 place of discovery in the hope of finding the rest of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was found.

giant skulls

There is reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in Southeast Asia and on the islands of Oceania.

At the beginning of the 16th century, one discovery made the whole French kingdom talk about itself: a complete skeleton of a man of gigantic stature was found, who lived in a very specific era. It was the king of the Cimbri, one of the two tribes attacking Gaul, who was defeated by the Roman general Marius. Nicolas Habicot published in 1613 "A Dissertation on the Skeleton of the Giant Teutobochus, King of the Cimbri". This skeleton really made a strong impression, because it belonged to a man 25 feet tall. The discovery, which was considered genuine, was only talked about for a long time, and the alleged skeleton of "Teutoboch" for several generations occupied its rightful place in the Museum of Natural History. This was also believed 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 made up of real fossil bones, but these were not human bones at all: they were the bones of ... a mastodon, that is, a species of prehistoric giant elephant that disappeared even before the appearance of mammoths. This means that the dexterous "needleworker" simply figured out how to give the bones a "standing" position, so that the growth and posture of the skeleton resembled the backbone 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 certainly impressive, but there is no reason to believe 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 size, they just possessed perfect technology.

And yet there are some very intriguing archaeological discoveries. Archaeologist Burkhalter during excavations in Moravia discovered a stone tool, the dimensions of which exceeded three by four meters, and the weight was equal to three or four pounds! It was quite obviously a used tool, and not at all a symbolic piece 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: found in Tiaguanaco whole city, 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 paradise, lost from the very beginning, about the initial high initiation, followed by the fall.
