The earth was inhabited by giant people (10 photos). “The grave of giants was discovered in the Caucasus. A huge man, a giant, about 5 meters tall

In the modern world there are many people with enormous growth, who are also classified as giants.

Giants were first mentioned in the Bible.

It was in the Old Testament - giants were on earth, and in their eyes the common people were like locusts for us. The Bible calls giants strong, ancient glorious people, and compares them to the sons of God.

The legendary giant Philistine Goliath is known as a mythical hero who was three meters tall and had tremendous physical strength. According to ancient legends, he fought with his enemies, throwing huge stones at them, which reached the size of a head of cabbage. However, according to legend, despite his superhuman strength, Goliath was defeated by the brave shepherd David, who was quite standard in size and did not differ in gigantic physical strength.

The victory of the brave David over the powerful giant today is an example for many young men, whose physical nature is far from heroic standards. Subsequently, David, the conqueror of Goliath, became king and ruled in the kingdom of Israel from 1005 BC. to 965 BC

Giant people were also mentioned in ancient Greek sources. One of these were the Titans - the children of the Earth goddess Gaia, were monstrous giants. It was mentioned that they were born from drops of blood of Uranus - the ancient Greek God of Heaven. According to legend, the huge titans fought against the Olympian gods, but were overthrown to Tartarus, deep in the earth, after Hercules defeated them.

Another representative of the giants was the patron god of Babylon. According to ancient legend, he possessed immense strength and was so tall that he outshone all other gods. The epic of Babylon about the creation of the world calls him "Marduk" ("son of the clear sky") the supreme deity of Babylonia.

Giants in the Middle Ages

The Middle Ages are also characterized by the presence of the giants of their time. According to the legends of that time, the Slavic hero Svyatogor, being a comrade-in-arms of Mikula Selyaninovich and Ilya Muromets, had superhuman strength and was very tall. According to the ancient Slavic writings, Svyatogor was taller than trees and so heavy that the Earth could not withstand his weight and sank under his feet.

One Russian writer, studying and creating writing for the peoples of the North, set out in his work "Chukchi" the legend of this people. According to this legend, a tribe of incredibly tall people lived in the snow-covered tundra. That was about two thousand years ago, however, and in our modern time, northern hunters on their way meet incredibly tall, muscular men.

The Hutsul people at one time sang a song about giants. Residents of Ukrainian villages and villages to this day know and sing it in their circles. In this song, they described the ancient people of enormous stature living in the mountain valley of the Carpathians. They were called giants walking a mile and reaching the sky. Later this folk song of Hutsul was used by director Sergei Parajanov in his outstanding creation “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors”.

The giants of ancient Rome

Posio and Skundila

The Salustia Gardens, famous in Rome, which belonged to a historian who lived in the 1st century BC, were guarded by the giants Posio and Skundila. They were widely known throughout the city due to their enormous growth, reaching three meters. In addition, the giants had a formidable character, which deterred petty thieves and hooligans from luxurious manor Salustia.

Another giant, whose height almost reached 3.5 meters, was one of the hostages sent to Rome by the Persian king. According to the writings of Josephus Flavius, an ancient Jewish historian, the giant did not possess any supernatural power, but was known for his gluttony, and, in the "competition of eaters", he was always ahead of his rivals.

Giants in the eyes of travelers

The great travelers also managed to see the giants. The Spaniard Fernand Magellan is a famous navigator who wintered in Argentina in 1520. On his expedition in modern Patagonia, he met a giant, whose height exceeded two meters, and Magellan himself was waist-high. Later, two more natives were caught by the people of Magellan, whom they intended to deliver as a gift to King Charles I. But the natives died on the way across the ocean, unable to withstand the difficult transition, and were thrown overboard. According to some reports, Patagonia bears its name from the word patagón, which Magellan called the giants he met.

Another English navigator Francis Drake in 1578, making trip around the world, met people on the shores of Patagonia, more than 2.8 meters in height, as he wrote down in his logbook.

Giants of the past century

Robert Pershing Wadlow

Giants met in the last century. A number of people of great height lived among us. One such person, Robert Pershing Wadlow, has been named "the tallest man in history." Robert Wadlow lived 1918-1940 in Alton, Illinois. Throughout his short life, he continued to grow, and at the time of the death of Robert Wadlow, the height was 2 m 72 centimeters, the foot was 49 cm, and he weighed 199 kg.

But this is not an isolated case when the growth of a modern person reached non-standard sizes. In total, in the history of medicine of the last century, 17 giant people were recorded, taller than 2.44 m. John William Rogan, whose growth was 2 m 64 cm, was the second largest number of tall people in history after Robert Pershing Wadlow. John F. Carroll was 2 m 63 cm, the growth of another giant, the Finn Vyalno Müllurinne, was 2 m 51 cm, and Bernard Coyen was 2 m 48 cm. Another person with a non-standard height of 2 m 49 cm is Don Kohler.

Female giant

Among the representatives of female giants, the tallest woman in the world was recognized and still remains a Chinese woman from the Hunan province - Zeng Jinlian, who lived in 1964-1982. Her growth began to develop actively at 4 months and by the age of four she had reached 156 cm, and by the time of her death at the age of 18, her height was 2 m 48 cm.

Giants Hugo

Hugo's twin brothers were known to the inhabitants of the late 19th century. Baptiste and Antoine Hugo, twin brothers called "Alpine Giants", have performed in Europe and America.

The eldest of the brothers, Baptist Hugo, was photographed with the inhabitants of North Africa, and called himself "the tallest man in the whole Earth." The growth of Antoine, the youngest of the brothers, was 225 cm.

The Russian hero Fyodor Makhnov, a popular giant of the last century, became famous for his impressive height of 2 m 68 cm. As the newspapers of St. Petersburg described him in 1906, he was "a Russian giant, of which growth had never been seen in any part of the globe." ...

Fyodor Makhnov was born in northeastern Belarus, near the village of Kostyuki in 1878. From the age of fourteen, Fyodor traveled around the world with his performances and caused surprised looks from the public and general admiration.

At the age of sixteen, according to the data of the contract, Makhnov's height was "3 arshins 9 vershaks", which translated into current measures is 253 centimeters. According to the Warsaw anthropologist Lushan, the growth of Fyodor Makhnov continued to increase and reached a maximum mark of 285 cm. As Lushan noted in 1903 in the journal Nature and People, in order to introduce this extraordinary person in society at least a little, the giant's boot Fedor to a person of standard height was chest-high, and a 12-year-old boy could fit in his full-length boot.

Makhnov was distinguished not only by his enormous growth, but also by inhuman physical strength. In his performances, he lifted the orchestra platform, bent horseshoes and twisted spirals from iron rods. Being so famous, Fedor, of course, aroused the interest of ordinary people in his personal life. The newspapers of that time published data that Fyodor Makhnov had a wife and five children. However, the enormous growth of the father did not affect his offspring in any way, and all the children of Fedor were of normal height.

Over time, Fyodor Makhnov got tired of being fun for the audience, he gave up his performances and moved to live in his native land, where he built a new farm with the proceeds from the performances. According to official data, Fyodor Makhnov died at 34 from pneumonia. However, some suggested that the "Russian Gulliver" was poisoned by competitors - circus strongmen and giants.

Makhnov's grave is still preserved in the cemetery of the village of Kostyuki. It reads “The tallest man in the world. The height was 3 yards 9 vershoks. " However, Fyodor's grave is a place without burial, and the remains of the giant are no longer there. The skeleton of the Russian hero was exhumed in 1939 and was sent for study to the Medical Institute in Minsk. However, the skeleton remained lost after the destruction of the war, and has not been found to this day.

Sultan Kösen

According to Guinness World Records, the man who is currently living and has the tallest growth is the Turkish farmer Sultan Kösen. This man was born in December 1982 and now lives in Turkey. Currently his height is 2.51 m

Leonid Stadnik

Another contemporary giant who voluntarily was removed from the Guinness Book of Records is Leonid Stadnik. In the book of records, he ceased to appear, tk. refused the next check weighing. Currently, Leonid lives in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine, in the village of Podolyantsy. Today Leonid's height is 2 m 53 cm, and he weighs 200 kg, and this, apparently, is not the limit, because he continues to grow.

Alexander Sizonenko

Alexander Sizonenko (1959 - 2012), another tall man of our time. He was born in the Kherson region of Ukraine, the village of Zaporozhye. Alexander was a famous basketball player who was the tallest in the history of the sport. Sizonenko was brought up in a sports boarding school in St. Petersburg, and played for the Leningrad team "Spartak" and the Kuibyshev "Builder". The height of the tallest basketball player was 243 cm. Unfortunately, in January 2012 in the city of St. Petersburg, Alexander died.

And historical chronicles of the 19th century often report the finds in different parts of the world of 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 were 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 1899, miners in the Ruhr region in Germany discovered the fossilized skeletons of people ranging in height from 210 to 240 centimeters.

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 men and women 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. The race of giant people, the remains of which were found in Australia, were called by anthropologists megantropuses.The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Meganthropuses are similar to gigantopithecus, the remains of which were found in China Judging by the found fragments of jaws and many teeth, the growth of the Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and the weight of 400 kilograms. , chisels, knives and axes. Modern Homo sapiens would hardly be able to work with instruments weighing 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. 1979 in Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains locals found a huge stone sticking out above the surface of the stream, on which the imprint of a part of a huge foot with five fingers was visible. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had survived in its entirety, it would have been 60 centimeters long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man six meters tall.
Near Malgoa, three huge footprints were found 60 centimeters long, 17 - wide. 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 teeth of the "big man" 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 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 Evrek. 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 consisted of 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 leg size - 97 centimeters from knee to foot. The owner of this limb during his lifetime was 3 meters 60 centimeters tall. Even more mysterious turned out to be 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. But, unfortunately, nothing else was found.

In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant humans on the shores of Lake Elysee 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 those shot, a fossil 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 to force the heads to take on an elongated shape as they grew, existed among some Indian tribes of 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.

IN South Africa at 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, in whose hands the find fell, determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.

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

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 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 found people whose height is 3-3.5 meters, weight 300 kg.

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 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 precedes 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 were 3-4 meters tall, 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 discovered an amazing fact: a man and a dinosaur have approximately 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 ... a dinosaur

At different times around the world, giant remains were discovered, 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 network, 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 allegedly found in different parts Sveta. However, most of these messages are fake and do not reflect the real state of affairs.

Large skull

The top 10 giant remains include:

The Giant of Castelnau is the largest bones in the world.
18 skeletons in Wisconsin - the mysterious story of archaeologists
Giant Skull from Peru - there are alternative versions.
5m skeleton from Australia - a find recent years.
The Roman giant is just tall by today's standards.

The giant from Castelnau is one of the giants of France

The expression "Giant of Castelnau" refers to three parts of the incredibly large human skeleton: the humerus, the tibia, the femur. According to scientists, the finds were located in a Bronze Age burial mound, possibly dating back to the Neolithic. According to archaeologists who worked on the excavation, the skeleton found may belong to one of the largest people in the world, whose existence 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 the giant from Castelnau

One of the largest human skeletons in the world was discovered by anthropologist Georges Vaz de Lapouge in a Bronze Age cemetery in Castelnau-les-Les, France in the winter of 1890. Bone volumes were more than twice the size of normal skeletal parts. Judging from the usual spacing of the anatomical points, they were also almost twice the length of the normal skeleton.

The bones of the Castelnau giant were studied at the University of Montpellier and studied 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 School of Medicine of Montpellier, who recognized that they were "a very high race." Nevertheless, he called them abnormal in size and hypothesized that such a large size of the 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 a prehistoric cemetery in Montpellier. Skulls "28, 31 and 32 inches in circumference" were found along with other gigantic bones, indicating that they belonged to a race of people ranging from 305 to 457 cm, but there is no real evidence of this.

18 skeletons in Wisconsin - the number is in doubt

In 1912, the 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 heights ranged from 231 to 304 cm, and their skulls were much larger than that of any race in America today. They had a double row of teeth, 6 fingers and toes.

Many reports say that the largest human skeletons were sent to the Smithsonian Institution, but representatives of the institution reject these claims.

A giant skull from Peru - a dark story with DNA

In one of the Peruvian forests, 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 is considered 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.

A 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, making the discovery twice as surprising. “In theory, a five-meter hominid cannot exist. But how, then, is this possible? While this discovery is exciting, we have more questions than answers, ”admits Professor Hans Zimmer of the University of Adelaide.

The largest skeleton in the world could be fake

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

Roman giant - records of the past

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

Nevertheless, such skeletons are extremely rare, because the very fact of gigantism is rare: today only about three people per million worldwide suffer from this disease. The changes begin in childhood when malfunctioning of the pituitary gland causes abnormal growth.

Skeleton bones of a Roman giant

The unusual skeleton was found in 1991 during excavations at the necropolis in Fidena, in the territory ruled by Rome. Even at the time of the initial excavations, the archaeological department of Rome, which was in charge of the project, noted that the found human tomb was abnormally long. However, it was only during a later anthropological examination that the bones were also found unusual. Soon after, 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 examined the bones and found signs of skull changes that matched a pituitary tumor. It destroys the organ, causing an excess of human growth hormone.

Cemetery of giants in China - large for the period

In 2016, archaeologists began excavating a late Neolithic settlement in Jiaojia, China, a village in China's Shandong province. They found many interesting finds there - including the ruins of 104 houses, 205 graves and 20 sacrificial pits - but the latest discovery took experts by surprise. According to the scientist Mark Molloy, the bodies of several men ranging in height from 152 to 190 centimeters were found in the cemetery in Jiaojia. At first glance, even the minimum indicators may not seem like something special, but in fact, men would be exceptionally high during the period when they lived.

5,000-year-old skeletons from China

The remains, dating from 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 man was about 1.9 meters tall. The people in Jiaojia Cemetery would have seemed like giants to the average person 5,000 years ago. In Europe, by comparison, the average growth of the Neolithic population was about 1.67 meters.

A giantess from Poland - the difficult fate of an unknown giant

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

Largest female skeleton found in Poland

Researchers Analyzing What Remains Of A Woman's Skeleton Claim That She Lived short lifefull of traumas and illnesses suffered:

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 immense height and weight.

The location of her grave in the cemetery is also curious. While the heads of all other bodies were buried facing west, her head was located towards the east. Both of her arms were bent rather than fully extended.

Kentucky giant - museum piece

The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded in 1858 with a generous donation from Thomas Dent Mutter, has a striking 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 ancient medical equipment.

In the photo, Queen Elizabeth examines a large skeleton from Kentucky

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

Robert Wadlow is a fatal disease

The largest human skeleton in the world, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted for sure, 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 problem with the pituitary gland that made his skeleton so large.

The photo shows the largest man in the world with a height of 2.72 m

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

Irish giant - controversy over remains

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

The largest skeleton comes from the 18th century

According to the recollections of Dr.Thomas Muintzer, who researched Byrne's life, there were many remarkable reports in the newspapers of the time about how he lit his pipe from lamps in the streets in Edinburgh because he was so tall. He arrived in London around the age of 20 and continued to showcase himself in public, amassing a decent income as crowds flocked to witness his gigantic stature. The lifetime images of the giant have survived, and only his skeleton can be seen in the photo.

Documents from the time indicated that he told his friends that he wanted to be buried at sea, out of fears 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 naked bones. Despite calls from academics and human rights activists to pay tribute to Byrne's last will, his large skeleton is still on display.

In the legends and legends of almost all the peoples of the Earth there are references to people of enormous stature - giants. The fact that there used to be people on Earth whose growth was much higher than that of modern man is indicated by many archaeological finds found all over the world.

The remains of giant people have been found in almost every part of the world:Mexico,Peru, Tunisia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Philippines, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Spain, Georgia, Southeast Asia, the islands of Oceania.

In 2008, near the city Borjomi, in Kharagaulsky reserve, a skeleton was found by Georgian archaeologists three-meter giant... Found skull in 3 times more the skull of an ordinary person.

The remains of giant people were found in Australiawhere anthropologists found a petrified indigenous tooth 67 mm high and 42 mm wide... The owner of the tooth must have been about 7.5 meters and weight 370 kilograms... Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the find - 9 million years.

IN China found fragments of the jaws of people whose height was from 3 before 3,5 meters, and weight 300 kilograms.

IN South Africa, at diamond mines, a fragment of a huge skull with a height 45 centimeters... Anthropologists have determined the age of the skull - about 9 million years.

Many remains of giants were found in the last century on Caucasus... In 2000, in a mountain cave in Eastern Georgia, archaeologists discovered the skeletons of four-meter giants.

In 2001, on July 23, by Marvin Rainwater, the owner of a farm in iowa (USA), while digging a well, a tomb with mummified giant people 3 meters high was discovered.

IN Sahara near Gobero burials of the Stone Age were discovered. The age of the remains is about 5000 years. In 2005 - 2006, about 200 burials of two cultures were found in the region - kythian and tenerian... The Kythians lived in this territory 8 - 10 thousand years back. They were distinguished by high growth, exceeding 2 meters.

Many giant fossil bones were found in one of the mountain valleys Turkey... The fossil bone of a human leg is 120 centimeters, judging by this size, the height of the person was about 5 meters. The Race of Giants existed!

The end of the twentieth century was marked by a sensational find by an Anglo-French paleontological expedition, which conducted research in remote parts of southern Mongolia, in the Gobi Desert, which has long been considered a collection of secrets. There is a place called Uulakh, about which the legend of a giant devil who lived in a stone gorge is passed down from generation to generation. It was so huge that the ground could hardly carry it.

A group of paleontologists led by Professor Higley decided to test the credibility of this legend. Persistent excavations in rock strata, which are about 45 million years old, have been crowned with success: a well-preserved skeleton of a humanoid creature was discovered. Moreover, scientists were struck by his growth - about 15-17 meters. So the legend was true? But how did the locals learn about the "gigantic shaitan" if he lived millions of years ago? There is only one plausible explanation: they have already seen his bones. The rock could be washed out by water, which allowed the Mongols to see the remains, the legend of which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.

It means that human civilization has already existed for 45 million years - the Race of Giants !?

Independent experts pointed out another important factor: a fake of this magnitude cannot be secretly manufactured and delivered to the required location.

Noteworthy is the version put forward by the Canadian scientist Roger Wingley, who noted that it is necessary to take into account the data of recent studies. It follows from them that for billions of years the Earth revolved around the Sun and around its axis much faster than at present. Calculations show that at that time the day lasted about 10 hours, and in one year there were almost 400 days. According to Wingley, such conditions made it possible for the existence of giants - dinosaurs, lizards, and even humanoid. It is likely that this is the answer to the mysterious gorge.

In a number of British newspapers, articles appeared that called for a new look at the history of human development. The famous British scientist Dr. Townes expressed his view on the problem.

He believes that his colleagues have made a unique find that does not belong to earthly civilization. The professor put forward a hypothesis that the creature found in the Gobi Desert developed and lived according to laws that are very far from earthly evolution. Therefore, this is not a representative of an extinct race from our planet, not a hoax, but a creature from outer space.

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

In 1821 in USA in Tennessee found the ruins of an ancient stone wall, and under it are 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 in Utah several burial mounds were discovered, 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 have 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 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 the mummified woman during her lifetime was two meters, and the man was about three meters.

In 1930, near Basarsta in Australia prospectors at jasper mines often found fossilized prints of huge human feet. The race of giant people, the remains of which were found in Australia, were called by anthropologists mega-anthropuses.The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Meganthropuses 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 was 400 kilograms. Near Basarst, in the river sediments, there were stone artifacts of huge 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.

In 1971 in Queensland farmer Stephen Walker, plowing his field, came across a large piece of 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 the 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 in its entirety, it would have been 60 centimeters long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man six meters tall.

Close Malgoa three huge footprints were found 60 centimeters long, 17 - wide. 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 traces are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Maclay River. The fingerprints of these tracks 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 the giant people who once lived in these territories. .

In 1877, not far from Jews in Nevada the prospectors worked on gold mining 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 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 Evrek. 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 lower 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 its foot size - 97 centimeters from knee to foot The owner of this limb during his lifetime was 3 meters 60 centimeters.

Even more mysterious turned out to be 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. But unfortunately, nothing else was found

In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant humans on the shore elysee Lake 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 Poland during the burial of the shot, a fossilized skull 55 centimeters high was found, that is, almost three times more than that of a modern adult. The giant that owned the skull had very proportional features and was at least 3.5 meters tall.

One of the most unique pieces of Klaus Don's collection is the bones of a giant. This is a genuine artifact. IN Ecuador in 1964 he found part of the calcaneus and occipital bones of a human skeleton. Based on the calculations, he found out that this bone belonged to a person 7 meters 60 centimeters high. The age of these remains is more than 10 thousand years. But that's not all. IN Bolivia he was also able to make a discovery. Klaus discovered a burial of people with a height of 260-280 centimeters. But the strangest thing is that they have extraordinary elongated skulls.

About giant people from other sources:

Helena Blavatsky

Theosophist, writer and traveler Helena Blavatsky formed a classification of the existing earthly civilizations - the Indigenous Human Races:

Race I - angelic people,

Race II - ghost-like people,

III race - Lemurians,

IV race - Atlanteans,

Race V - Aryans (WE).

In The Secret Doctrine, Helena Blavatsky writes that the inhabitants of Lemuria were the "root race" of humanity.

As Blavatsky writes, “the late Lemurians were 10 to 20 meters tall. All major achievements of earthly technologies come from them. They left their knowledge on the "gold plates" hidden to this day in hiding places. The Lemurian civilization existed for many millions of years and disappeared 2 - 3 million years ago.

The Atlantean race was also a highly developed race, but to a lesser extent than the Lemurians. Atlanteans were 5-6 meters tall, outwardly they were similar to modern people... The bulk of the Atlanteans died during the Flood 850 thousand years ago, but some groups of Atlanteans survived to a period of 12 thousand years ago.

The Aryan race appeared in the bowels of the Atlantic civilization about a million years ago. All modern earthlings are called Aryans. The early Aryans were 3 - 4 meters tall, then their height decreased. "

Nicholas Roerich

Scientist, artist, mystic philosopher Nicholas Roerich wrote about the Bamian statues: “These five figures belong to the creation of the hands of Initiates of the Fourth Race, who, after the sinking of their mainland, found refuge in strongholds and on the peaks of the Central Asian mountain range. These figures are an illustration of the Teaching about the gradual evolution of Races. The largest depicts the First Race, its etheric body imprinted in solid, indestructible stone. The second - at 36 meters in height - depicts "Sweat-born". The third - at 18 meters - perpetuates the Race, which fell and conceived the first physical Race, born of a father and mother, the last offspring of which is depicted in statues on Easter Island. These were only 6 and 7.5 meters tall in the era when Lemuria was flooded. The Fourth Race was even smaller in size, albeit gigantic in comparison with our Fifth Race, and the series ends with the last. "

Drunvalo Melchizedek

Scholar and esotericist, Drunvalo Melchizedek in the book "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" writes about aliens from parallel worlds on the land of Ancient Egypt.

He describes the growth of people of different spatial dimensions:

1.5 - 2 meters - the height of people of the third (our) dimension,

3.6 - 4.5 meters - fourth dimension,

10.6 meters - fifth dimension,

18 meters - sixth dimension,

26 - 28 meters - seventh dimension.

Drunvalo Melchizedek writes that the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten was not an earthling, he came from the Sirius star system, his height was 4.5 meters. Akhenaten's wife, Nefertiti, was about 3.5 meters tall. They were people of the fourth dimension.

Ernst Muldashev

Professor Ernst Muldashev, during an expedition to Syria, in the town of Ain-Dara, in an ancient ruined temple, discovered traces of a giant man. The length of the giant's footprint was 90 cm, the width at the base of the fingers was 45 cm, the length of the thumb was 20 cm, the length of the little finger was 15 cm. According to calculations, a person with such foot sizes should have been 6.5-10 meters tall.

In the East there is a very detailed description Buddha. From this description, called "60 features and 32 characteristics of the Buddha," it is known that the Buddha had an enormous height, membranes between the fingers and toes, 40 teeth, which corresponds to the description of the people of the Atlantean civilization.

GIANTS TODAY

At the present time, there are also giants, but, unfortunately, there is little fabulous in them. These are sick people suffering from increased function of the anterior pituitary gland, which produces growth hormone. The giants grow over 2 meters (the tallest person described in the literature was 320 centimeters tall). In childhood, they look like ordinary people, but by the beginning of puberty (9-10 years) their growth accelerates dramatically and lasts longer than in ordinary people.

Matryn Van Buren Bates (1837-1919) - "giant from Kentucky", hero of the American civil war, who fought on the side of the Confederation (slave-owning south of the country). His height reached 243 centimeters, and his weight was 234 kilograms. In his youth, Martin worked as a school teacher, but after the outbreak of the civil war he joined the army, rose to the rank of captain, became a legend among the northerners, was captured, was exchanged (according to another version, he fled), and in the end decided to leave the service by hiring in the circus.Despite the gigantic growth, such people are distinguished by poor health. They rarely live to old age, sometimes have mental problems, do not show sexual activity, suffer from visual impairment. Their gigantism is disproportionate - people often become freaks with an overly small head and long limbs. However, despite this, many giants find the strength to live a normal life. They even manage to become famous.
