Lemurians are giants. Ancient and modern giants of the earth (28 photos) 5 meter man
Recently, archaeologists have discovered in the Kuban the remains of ancient people of gigantic stature. They were buried about 4 thousand years ago ... About the phenomenon of giant people who lived in the Caucasus, and other anomalous phenomena, we talk with Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the research public association "Cosmopoisk". "The grave of the giants" - What other anomalous phenomena was this year marked? - 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 lightning "attack". They took the T-shirt in which he was at the time of the impact. It is burnt, the edges of the hole are melted,
and we hope that there are fragments of the substance that make up ball lightning. We are going to study it in the laboratory.
Secondly,
we were in Ingushetia, where, after a mountain collapse, a cave was opened, which
locals called the cave of the jinn. I must say that for many
Muslims are quite 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. Immediately
after the collapse of the cliff, riot police came to this place, climbed inside,
but they suddenly became afraid. They got out and threw grenades at 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 "the grave of the giants." Did you manage to explore it? How
once recently there was a message that in the Kuban archaeologists stumbled upon
burial of very tall people.
In the Caucasus, legends about giant people
are ubiquitous. They are called sledges, there are legends about them
almost all the peoples of the North Caucasus.
That grave that we found for several years
back, is an artificial mound. When looking at
he has no doubts that this is a grave, moreover, of a gigantic creature.
The dimensions of the stepped pyramidal embankment are comparable to the Egyptian ones.
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 burials. Earlier we probed the hill with geolocation.
The device showed that there are "extraneous" inclusions in the depth. Excavations
have not yet been held, but this year they were not needed: we were invited
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 along a rope and found many skulls and
bones. These are not the remains of giants, but certainly the skulls belonged to
very tall people. This means that the Caucasian legends about giant ancestors are not
are groundless.
Russian scientists have found the remains of giant people in the Caucasus
The Caucasus has something to be famous for, besides
their strict traditions. Russian scientists for the first time in the history of the world
science managed to discover what was only suggested earlier in the well-known
archaeological laboratories. We are talking about giant people.
Giant people
still existed, and direct evidence of this is 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 the find, confirmed that the bones, indeed, belong
Homo Sapiens. Previously, the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks, but
the recent landslide in the mountains opened up a large archaeological
riddle.
On March 29, experts cleared the remains of the giants a little and have already said
their exact height. Its performance ranges 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 be much smarter.
Einstein and more capable than Leonardo da Vinci.
When the jaws of giant people were examined, it was discovered
a phenomenon unique to humanity - two rows of upper and lower teeth.
Of course, this is physiologically impossible in the mouth. modern man,
therefore, the giant people had a sloping 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 are not yet able to provide 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, a find
US scientists became interested. Perhaps some of the skeletons will be transported
for research in the American state.

Before the flood, people were giants

Historical chronicles of the 19th century often report finds in different parts the globe skeletons of people of abnormally tall stature.
In 1821, in the United States in the state of Tennessee, the ruins of an ancient stone wall were found, and under it two human skeletons 215 centimeters high. 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 very tall - 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 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 an earthen coffin inside, which contained the mummies of a two-meter red-haired woman and a baby. The facial features and constitution of the mummy were sharply different from the ancient Egyptians. Similar mummies of a man and a woman with red hair were discovered in 1912 in Lovlock (Nevada) in a cave carved into the rock. The height of a mummified woman during her lifetime was two meters, and a man's was about three meters.
Australian finds
In 1930, near Basarst in Australia, prospectors at jasper mines often found fossil imprints of huge human feet. Anthropologists called the rasugigant people, whose remains were found in Australia, mega-anthropuses.The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Meganthropes are similar to giantopi-tecs, the remains of which were found in China Judging by the fragments of jaws and many teeth found, the growth of the Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and the weight of 400 kilograms.Near Basarst, in the 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 instruments weighing from 4 to 9 kilograms.
An anthropological expedition, which specifically investigated the area in 1985 for the presence of the remains of meganthropuses, carried out excavations at a depth of three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a fossilized 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 to be nine million years.
In 1971, in Queensland, farmer Stephen Walker, 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 rock sticking out above the surface of a stream, on which the imprint of a part of a huge foot with five toes was visible. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had survived completely, it would have been 60 centimeters long. It follows that the imprint was left by a six-meter-tall man. Three huge foot prints 60 centimeters long and 17 centimeters wide were found near Malgoa. The giant's stride length was measured at 130 centimeters. Traces have been preserved in the petrified lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (assuming the theory of evolution is correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Maclay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 centimeters long and the foot is 25 centimeters wide. Obviously, the aborigines of Australia 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 the University of Oxford, there is an account of the discovery of a giant skeleton, made in the Middle Ages in Cumberland. “The giant is buried four yards in the ground and is in full military dress. His sword and battle-ax rest beside him. The skeleton is 4.5 yards (4 meters) long and the big man's teeth measure 6.5 inches (17 centimeters). "
In 1877, not far from Evreki in Nevada, prospectors worked at a gold mine in a desolate, hilly area. One of the workers accidentally noticed something sticking out over the cliff ledge. People climbed the rock and were surprised to find the human bones of the foot and lower leg along with the patella. The bone was walled up in the rock, and the prospectors freed it from the rock with pickaxes. Assessing the uncommonness of the find, the workers brought it to Yevrek. The stone, into 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 represented the knee joint and the intact bones of the leg and foot. Several doctors examined the bones and concluded that the leg was clearly human. But the most intriguing aspect of the find was the foot size - 97 centimeters from knee to foot. The owner of this limb during his lifetime was 3 meters 60 centimeters tall.
Even more mysterious was the age of quartzite, in which the fossil was found - 185 million years, the era of the dinosaurs. Local newspapers vied with each other to report the sensation. One of the museums sent researchers to the find in the hope of finding the rest of the skeleton. Unfortunately, nothing else was found.
In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant humans on the shores of Lake Eliza in Central Africa. 12 men buried in a mass grave had a height of 350 to 375 centimeters during their lifetime. Curiously, their skulls had sloping chins and two rows of upper and lower teeth.
There is evidence that during the Second World War on the territory of 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 who owned the skull had very proportional features and was at least 3.5 meters tall.
Skulls of giants
Ivan T. Sanderson, a famous zoologist and frequent guest of the popular American show "Tonight" in the 60s, once shared with the public an interesting story about a letter he received from a certain Alan McSheer. The author of the letter in 1950 worked as a bulldozer on the construction of a road in Alaska. He reported that workers found two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the burial mounds. The skulls reached 58 cm in height and 30 cm in width. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads.Each skull had a neat round hole at the top.It should be noted that the custom of deforming the skulls of babies in order to force the heads to take on an elongated shape as they grew, existed among some Indian tribes North America... The vertebrae, like the skulls, were three times larger than that of modern humans. The length of the shin bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.
V South Africa at diamond mines 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, in whose hands the find fell, determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.
There is reliable evidence of the finds 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: the complete skeleton of a man of gigantic stature was found, who lived in a very specific era. This 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 "Thesis on the skeleton of the giant Teutobochus, king of the Cimbri." This skeleton was really impressive because it belonged to a 25-foot man. For a long time they only talked about the find, which was considered genuine, and the alleged skeleton of "Teutobokh" for several generations occupied its rightful place in the Museum of Natural History. This was believed even in the 19th century, but Cuvier, approaching his research more thoroughly, discovered a cunning hoax. The famous skeleton, presented 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 a prehistoric giant elephant that disappeared even before the appearance of mammoths. This means that the clever "needleman" simply figured out how to give the bones a "standing" position, so that the skeleton would resemble the skeleton of a person in height and posture.
It is usually also noticed that the presence of giant monuments does not at all speak in favor of the actual existence of giants. The pyramids and megaliths are, of course, impressive, but there is no reason to say that their creators were of gigantic stature. Finally, Cathedral in Strasbourg there is also a huge building, but nevertheless it was built by people of quite normal size, they just owned perfect technology.
And yet there are some very intriguing archaeological discoveries. The archaeologist Burkhalter, during excavations in Moravia, discovered a stone tool that exceeded three by four meters in size and weighed three or four pounds! It was clearly a tool used, not a symbolic household item; it is clear that the presence of a votive-made ax would prove the existence of giants no more 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's give the floor to our friend Marcel Moreau: “Humanity keeps in its atavistic memory the memories of these giants of the highest intellect, descended from the gods, giants who guided and taught people. Humanity remembers about paradise, lost from the very beginning, about the initial high initiation, which was followed by the fall ”.
The average height of a person nowadays ranges from 165 to 180 cm. Anyone who exceeds these "standards" ends up either in the basketball team, or simply looking down on the whole world. And if the height exceeds two meters, then such people are called "giants" (however, there are dozens of names, which can rather be perceived as offensive nicknames). However, there are individuals, compared to whom even your tallest buddy will seem diminutive. Today's list consists of just such, the tallest people on the planet!
Bernard with his family
Before being drafted into the army, Coyne indicated his height on the soldier's card - 244 cm. However, the pathologists who examined the deceased stated that these figures were slightly "underestimated" and his height was 257 cm. Bernard was born at the end of the 19th century in the state of Iowa, where and was buried with all the honors after the First World War.
Sultan before the commission for fixing records in 2010
The Sultan is the tallest living person. His height is 252 cm. A similar anomaly was caused by the hyperactivity of the pituitary gland, which had to be stopped in 2010. At the same time, Kösen's growth stopped increasing.
Angus and his "little" comrade
The famous "Angus Giant" was just a huge, but proportionate person. No abnormalities or abnormalities were found in his body. Also, the Guinness Book of Records claims that he was the most powerful person who ever lived. He alone could easily lift anchors weighing up to a ton. In addition to all his other virtues, as contemporaries argued, Angus was a very imposing man and the owner of a beautiful velvet baritone.
Yao and father
This Chinese girl, like many giants, suffered from a tumor in the pituitary gland, which was the reason for her large growth. Yao died at the age of 40. Her height at that time was 238 cm.
Girl and her family
Tseng was the tallest woman on the planet. Due to the structural features of her body, she could not fully straighten her back, so her height was 211 cm.If Tseng stood at attention, her height would be 248 cm.She was born in 1964 in China and died at the age of 17 years from diabetes.
Ella and her parents in the photo
Also known as the Missouri Giant. Ella was born in 1872 and at the time of maturity was the tallest living person on the planet. Despite constant ridicule about her appearance, Ms. Ewing began to earn money for her family, displaying her peculiarity, first at the Chicago Museum and then at the Barnaum and Bailey exhibition. With a height of 256 centimeters, she had to spend a huge amount of fabric on dresses. Ella managed to amass a small fortune, for which she bought a small farm for herself and her parents, where she peacefully ended her earthly journey.
Rogan's photo in anatomy textbook
John is considered the tallest African American of all time. He was born in the late 780s of the 19th century in Tennessee. Until the age of 13, he was an absolutely normal boy, however, after that, his height began to increase rapidly until he reached 270 cm by the time of death.
Bust of the Emperor in the Museum of Rome
This Roman emperor is famous for having never been to Rome. In addition, he was respected by ordinary soldiers for his unprecedented strength, which was considered a gift from the gods. Also known as the Emperor Maximinus the First, this giant rose from the very bottom of the army class. The Thracian ruled the Empire for three years - from 235 to 238 AD. His height was 249 cm.
Shaquille O'Neal
Shaq before a three-point throw (lucky, by the way)
Perhaps the most famous "big man" of our era. Shaq was one of the best basketball players in NBA history. He is also known for his roles in films (many remember the genie in his performance in the film "Kazaam"). His height can be called relatively normal - 217 cm.
Sandy with talk show host
Sandy was the tallest woman in the United States of America. Her height was 234.5 cm. According to relatives, she was an extremely pleasant, kind and sympathetic person. Miss Allen died at the clinic at the age of 50. During her interview with the New York Times journalist, Sandy said that she would have married and had a million children if not her growth problems.
Rumisa and her parents
In 2014, Rumeisa was recognized as the tallest teenager on planet Earth. The girl is not only not ashamed of her height (214 cm), but also proud of him. Her body achieved such "heights" because of Weaver's syndrome, in which from the very birth a person begins to grow rapidly and this growth does not stop for a single day.
A photograph in which Bupre is compared to "ordinary" people
This Canadian was born in 1881 and from an early age attracted surprised looks from the public. His dream was simple and romantic: to go to the Wild West and become a cowboy, since he had great strength for this - he could raise a horse. His height was 252 cm. Anomalies of the pituitary gland, which caused hypergrowth, caused his death at the age of 17.
Computer model of de Frankenpoint skeleton
A man with such a respectable name was the personal bodyguard of the Duke of Braunschweig at the beginning of the 15th century. According to the latest data received, Antoine was the first officially recognized "giant" with a height of 243 cm. There is no evidence that there were people of the same impressive size before him. De Frankenpoint's skeleton is now kept in the Anatomical Museum in Marburg.
Don with a check for participating in the competition of unusual people
Don was born in Montana in 1925. Remarkably, he had a twin sister, whose height did not exceed the norm. Mr. Koehler's height was 250 cm, however, under the influence of gravity, he had to constantly hunch over. Don died at the age of 55 from heart failure.
Matt on the set of Tim Burton
Matthew is the tallest actor in the world. Many viewers remember him well from the movie "Big Fish" by Tim Burton, where Matt played the charismatic giant Carl. Also, Mr. McGoy "appeared" in the films "Men in Black 2" and "Bubble Boy". However, in his career there were other films, albeit less famous. His height was 232 cm. Matthew died at the age of 32 in 2005.
John and his attending physician
Also known as the "South Buffolo Giant". His height is 244 cm. If John had straightened, it would have added another 20 cm, but because of the pressure on the spine, this was impossible. Like most giants, Mr. Caroll had a diseased pituitary gland. John worked as a park ranger and, as his colleagues say, there was not a single person who was not fascinated by this good-natured giant. In addition, Carroll was downright radiant with vitality, infecting those around him. Friends and acquaintances jokingly called him "the big red man" because of his bright red hair.
Indian giant during a parade in Delhi
Vikas was the tallest man in India. He did not stop growing throughout his life and in 2005 his height was an incredible 270 cm. Mr. Appal died in 2007 during an unsuccessful operation to remove a brain tumor. Unfortunately, the commission did not manage to measure its growth and enter it into the Guinness Book of Records.
Yao while playing for the Rockets
Perhaps one of the most famous giants - his face has become a meme (you can easily find tens of thousands of pictures with him). Min is a professional basketball player and surpassed Shaquille in height (231 cm versus 217). In 2011, Yao retired from his sports career due to joint and ankle diseases. In the NBA, he played for the Houston Rockets, and in China for the Shanghai Sharks.
Haftor throws a stone core weighing 40 kg
Remember the huge pile of muscles named Grigor Clegane, nicknamed "The Mountain" from the film adaptation of "A Song of Ice and Fire" (TV series "Game of Thrones")? This is one of the strongest people on the planet, Haftor "Thor" Bjornsson. What is noteworthy, he was barely 28 years old (and you can't tell by sight). His height is 210 cm.
One of the most famous photographs of Veino
The height of this Finnish giant was 256 cm. Veino served in the army and is still considered the tallest soldier in the history of mankind. He died in 1963.
Margot while playing in the NBA Women's League
A Polish basketball player and just a spectacular woman, Margot lived a full life with a height of 219 cm.She died in 2011 of a heart attack.
Robert and his family
Newspapers nicknamed him "The Illinois Giant." Robert was born in 1918 and died in 1940, barely reaching adulthood. At the age of six, he was already taller than his parents. At the time of his death, he was on tour with a circus troupe. Robert's height was 247 cm and he had to use not only a cane for walking, but also leg braces and a corset.
Brock with his mother
Brock is an ordinary teenager from Michigan with only one "but": he suffers from a rare genetic disease, Sotos syndrome. Because of this ailment, he annually grows by 20 cm. Now his height is 240 cm and buying clothes is a serious item of expenses from the family budget, since everything has to be sewn to order. This is exactly the case when buying clothes "for growth" will no longer work.
Brahim on a guided tour of Paris
His height is 247 cm and he owns the "silver" in the title of the tallest person living now. But he can boast of the longest foot - size 58. There is no factory that makes shoes of this size, so each pair is created specifically for Brahim. However, the Moroccan government sponsors the production of shoes for Brahim, so the problem can hardly be called significant.
Andre "Giant" before the fight with Hogan
Known to many for his role in the fairy tale "The Princess Bride" (who has not watched - be sure to fill this gap). However, he also has another achievement: he collected full stadiums during wrestling fights and even competed with the Hulk Hogan (although we all know what wrestling is). Andre's height was 221 cm. He is sometimes called "the eighth wonder of the world." He became the first fighter to be inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1993 (posthumously).
Anthropologists argue that humans will be shorter and shorter as they evolve. Therefore, it is possible that in one or two generations only legends will remain about giants. I would like to believe that not a single person from this list will be forgotten (like everyone else who did not make it).
Many legends of the world tell about giants, giants, titans in all ancient written sources. We are often informed about the finds in different parts of the world of skeletons of people of abnormal growth. So maybe our ancestors were giants?
Stone Age burials have been discovered in the Sahara Desert. The remains are approximately 5,000 years old. In 2005-2006, about 200 graves were found. All of them were distinguished by their high growth, more than two meters.
Giant fossils have been found in Turkey. The human leg bone is 120 cm long. Based on this, the height of a person should have been 5 meters. 
In China, people were found whose height is 3-3.5 meters, weight 300 kg.
In Australia, anthropologists have found a fossilized tooth 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. According to estimates, the owner of the tooth should have been 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kg. Analyzes have determined the age of the find - 9 million years
A jaw was found in one of the caves. But despite the resemblance to a human, the size of the found bone seems to be abnormally large.
It is assumed that all the main monuments of antiquity (Egyptian pyramids, stonehenge, sphinx) were built by these giants. According to scientists, giants are the race that preceded us (not to be confused with the current concept that characterizes belonging to a particular nationality). They took possession of psychic energy and "vitality" unusual for us.
The Aryan race appeared in the bowels of the Atlantic civilization about 1 million years ago. All modern earthlings are called Aryans. The early Aryans had a height of 3-4 meters, then the growth decreased
Scientists anthropologists have even found drawings on Inca stones. They were discovered in Peru. And these drawings show that humans lived with dinosaurs. Comparing these drawings, scientists have found amazing fact: man and dinosaur have roughly the same proportions! Perhaps in the era of dinosaurs, giant people lived. And a man in the mouth of a dinosaur, and a dinosaur with a severed head ...
Evidence of finds of the remains of giants is found in almost every part of the world: Mexico, Peru, Pennsylvania, Tunisia, Texas, the Philippines, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Spain, and Georgia ... so much about the likelihood of their existence, as about the reasons for the disappearance of a civilization so much more diverse and powerful than you and me ...
Official science is still suspicious of hypotheses about the existence of gigantic people in the past. 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 found repeatedly over the centuries. Reports of the found turtles or bones of an abnormally large size came from different parts of the planet - the USA, Egypt, Armenia, China, India, Mongolia, Australia and even the Pacific Islands. True, you will not surprise anyone with a human height over two meters. As the photographs show, in the 19th century there were people whose height significantly exceeded two meters.
However, we are talking about finds, which can be used to judge the much more impressive dimensions of humanoid individuals. In 1911, near Lovelock in American state Nevada has suspended the mining of guano, as scientists are interested in the found human skeletons with a growth of 3.5 meters.
Particularly archaeologists were struck by the jaw found away from full skeletons: its size was at least three times 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 the 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 found by the Indian military. Found in a remote region 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 the 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 Maya 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 people and trample on everything, whose land is cut by rivers."
But there is similar information 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 the Volga Bulgaria: “and here I am next to this man, and I see the growth in him, measuring twelve cubits with my elbow. And now he has a head - the largest cauldron that can ever be. And the nose is more than a quarter, both eyes are huge, and each fingers are more than a quarter. "
If we assume that the elbow of the Arab traveler was of modest size, then the height 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
Traces of their material culture can be the silent witnesses of the existence of giant people. During excavations in Australia near the gigantic remains, stone tools of impressive size were discovered - 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 Historical Society of the United States, there is a bronze ax, which is more than 1 meter high and the blade is half a meter long. 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. The Lebanese Baalbek, which cannot be called otherwise than the city of giants, is of particular interest to scientists. At least, researchers still cannot scientifically explain the appearance there of stone slabs that are ideally fitted to each other, presumably weighing up to 800 tons each.
Fake!
A serious controversy has recently developed between supporters and opponents of the existence of mega-anthropes, which does not accept compromises. This is how 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,” says the scientist, “it is not confirmed by documented archaeological excavations, there are no expert opinions - anthropologists or forensic doctors - who could reasonably tell what these bones are. "
Negative reaction scientific community cases of blatant falsification also cause. So, "the skeleton of the giant Teutobokh" - 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. Frequent exposure and modern finds with a careful examination of the remains of large mammals. Also, the "defenders of the giants" are discredited by the noticeably more frequent cases of Photoshop.
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 have survived for purely biological reasons.
As a confirmation of this, they cite the example of 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 the force of gravity was lower, and the oxygen level was about 50% higher.
The last figure is confirmed by the analysis of air bubbles "trapped" in amber. Moreover, modern physicists have modeled 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, the 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 the giant people dates 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. The representative of the same official science, the Georgian academician Abesalom Vekua, suggested that 3-meter people inhabited the Borjomi Gorge about 25 thousand years ago. The results of recent finds, in his opinion, could be sensational. “Pay attention to the thigh bone,” 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 growth. In the scientific literature, they are referred to as giants, but there was no documentary evidence for this hypothesis. Thus, we are on the verge of a sensation. But this will be preceded by painstaking work. "
