Legends and traditions about giants who lived in ancient times have survived to this day. At first glance, so what's special about this? You never know how many fairy tales our ancestors came up with. But here’s the strange thing: these tales have recently found more and more confirmation.

Information periodically appears in the media about strange and mysterious finds by archaeologists - giant human skeletons. If they really lived on Earth in ancient times, then the entire existing scientific picture of the world and the history of human development can be considered incomplete or even false.

Giant people: fact or fiction?

In 2007, the Internet was literally blown up by a sensational message and photographs of skeletons of 12-meter giant people found in India, whose age was several thousand years old. Credibility of this message was given by the reference to the participation in the excavations of the archaeological team of the National Geographic Society of India. But, after some time, it turned out that the photographs documenting the sensational find were faked using Photoshop. Of course, one could calm down on this and say, well, another modern invention has been exposed. But in reality it's not that simple. American researcher and paleontologist Michael Cremo, in his book “The Unknown History of Humankind,” provides a lot of evidence that seriously contradicts the established theory of human development. This data is usually kept silent; it does not pass the so-called “knowledge filter”, which filters out everything that does not fit into the existing picture of the world. Let's consider the available facts confirming the existence of ancient giants.

Archaeological finds: giant mummies and skeletons of giants

Here are just a few facts of archaeological finds, the authenticity of which could not be refuted. In 1890, a huge sarcophagus was found in Egypt, which contained the mummy of a 3-meter red-haired woman with a child. This find was dated to the 2nd millennium BC. The woman's appearance was very different from the appearance of the ancient Egyptians.

In 1911, mummies of huge red-haired people were found in Nevada (USA), their height ranged from 2.5 to 3 meters. Also in Nevada in 1877, gold miners found human bones of the lower leg, foot and patella. Based on the size of the remains, the height of the person was 3.5 meters. But this is not the most surprising thing; the fossilized remains of the giant were embedded in quartzite, which was 185 million years old, and this was the era of dinosaurs.

Skeletons of giants were found in the Caucasus, China, Central Africa, North and South America, European countries. Sometimes these finds surprised not only with their gigantic size. For example, in 1936, German paleontologist Lars Kohl found skeletons of people whose height was 3.5-3.75 meters. They were found in Central Africa near Lake Elizi. The most amazing thing was that these people had two rows of upper and lower teeth and very sloping chins.

Australia did not stand aside either; on the territory of this most distant continent, not only quite a lot of remains of giants were found, but also their huge tools. In 1985, a fossilized molar was found there, the height of which was 6.7 cm and the width of 4.2 cm. The height of the owner of the tooth was supposed to be 7.5 meters, and radiocarbon dating determined its age, which was 9 million years.
This is not a complete list of mysterious finds. Who are these people? Ancient Lemurians, Atlanteans, or a race of people completely unknown to us? Is it possible to somehow explain their gigantic growth?

There is a rather interesting explanation for this phenomenon. True, accepting it, one must also recognize the incomparably longer existence of people on Earth than is accepted by official science. Analyzing the composition of air inclusions in pieces of amber, scientists came to the conclusion that in the era of dinosaurs there was incomparably more oxygen in the air than now. This composition of the atmosphere caused intensive growth of plants and animals - everyone who inhabited ancient earth. There is a hypothesis that then, along with giant dinosaurs, there were also giant people.

Giants in legends and myths

Legends about giants are present in the mythology of many nationalities. Everyone knows the epic giant hero Svyatogor.

The Indian epic "Ramayana" describes its heroes as giants: Rama was 3 meters tall, Hanuman was 8 meters tall, and their enemies, the rakshasa demons, are described as 15-meter-tall giants.

The ancient Greeks have tales about one-eyed giant cyclops, one of them, Polyphemus, is mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. Of course, these are all heroes of fairy-tale epics. However, modern researchers have a point of view that the authors of these ancient legends were very concrete-minded individuals who were not inclined towards literary genres in the “fantasy” style. They described everything as they saw it, perhaps exaggerating a little.

There is evidence of the existence of a race of giants from less distant eras. In Georgia, legends have been preserved about the giant Dzhepir, who lived there relatively recently, in the 17th century. Even his gigantic grave has been preserved.

E.P. Blavatsky, describing the ancient races of the Lemurians and Atlanteans in The Secret Doctrine, emphasizes their gigantic growth. The inhabitants of Tibet have the same legends. Similar information can be found even among ancient Greek historians. So Theopompus, who lived in the 4th century BC. e., talked about a race of giant Meropes who lived on big island, located in Atlantic Ocean.

So our mysterious and unpredictable world has revealed another secret. Will humanity want to abandon such a familiar picture of the world and admit that in fact we know almost nothing about our origins and our ancestors?

Giants of antiquity - fiction or reality? Here's some information that recently appeared on the Internet: The Smithsonian Institution admitted that it destroyed thousands of giant human skeletons in the early 1900s.

The US Supreme Court has ordered the Smithsonian to release classified documents dating back to the early 1900s, showing that the organization took part in a major historical cover-up of evidence showing that tens of thousands of gigantic human remains were found across America, and destroyed on the orders of senior officials for defending the dominant chronology of human evolution that existed at that time.

Suspicions emanating from the American Institute of Alternative Archeology (AIAA) that the Smithsonian Institution destroyed thousands of giant human remains were met with hostility by the organization, which responded by suing the AIAA for defamation and attempting to damage the reputation of the 168-year-old institution.

According to AIAA spokesman James Charward, new details emerged during the trial when a number of Smithsonian insiders acknowledged the existence of documents that allegedly prove the destruction of tens of thousands of human skeletons ranging in size from 6 to 12 feet tall (1.8-3.65 m). ;), the existence of which traditional archeology, for various reasons, does not want to acknowledge.

Let's find out more about this...

But first, let's define this topic: yes, you are right, the photos in the post are a collage and photoshop.

The turning point in the case was the demonstration of a 1.3 meter long human femur as proof of the existence of such gigantic human bones. This evidence blew a hole in the defense of the Institute's lawyers, since the bone was stolen from the organization by a senior curator in the mid-1930s, who kept it his entire life and wrote a written confession on his deathbed about the Smithsonian's cover-up operations.

“It’s terrible that they do this to people,” he writes in his letter. “We are hiding the truth about the ancestors of humanity, about the giants who inhabited the earth, which are mentioned in the Bible, as well as other ancient texts.”

The US Supreme Court ordered the institute to release classified information about everything related to the “destruction of evidence relating to pre-European culture,” as well as items “associated with larger-than-usual human skeletons.”

“The publication of these documents will help archaeologists and historians reconsider current theories about human evolution and help us better understand pre-European culture in the Americas and the rest of the world,” says AIAA Director Hans Guttenberg.

The release of the documents is scheduled for 2015, and all this will be coordinated by an independent scientific organization to ensure the political neutrality of the operation.

Historical chronicles of the 19th century often report finds in different corners globe skeletons of abnormally tall people.
In 1821, in the US state of Tennessee, the ruins of an ancient stone wall were found, and under it two human skeleton height 215 centimeters. In Wisconsin, during the construction of a granary in 1879, huge vertebrae and skull bones of “incredible thickness and size” were found, according to a newspaper article.

In 1883, several burial mounds were discovered in Utah containing the burials of very tall people - 195 centimeters, which is at least 30 centimeters higher than the average height of Aboriginal Indians. The latter did not make these burials and could not provide any information about them. In 1885, in Gasterville (Pennsylvania), a stone crypt was discovered in a large burial mound, in which there was a skeleton 215 centimeters high. Primitive images of people, birds and animals were carved on the walls of the crypt.

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

In 1890, in Egypt, archaeologists found a stone sarcophagus with a clay coffin inside, which contained the mummies of a two-meter red-haired woman and a baby. The facial features and build of the mummies were sharply different from the ancient Egyptians. Similar mummies of a man and a woman with red hair were discovered in 1912 in Lovelock (Nevada) in a cave carved into the rock. The height of the mummified woman during life was two meters, and the man was about three meters.

Australian finds

In 1930, near Basarst in Australia, prospectors mining jasper often found fossilized imprints of huge human feet. Anthropologists called the race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, Meganthropus. The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Meganthropus is similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were discovered in China. Judging by the found fragments of jaws and many teeth, the height of the Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and their weight was 400 kilograms. Near Basarst, in 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 tools weighing from 4 to 9 kilograms.

An anthropological expedition that specifically explored this area in 1985 for the presence of remains of Meganthropus, carried out excavations at a depth of up to three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a fossilized molar tooth 67 millimeters high and 42 millimeters wide. The owner of the tooth had to be at least 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kilograms! Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the finds to be nine million years.

In 1971, in Queensland, farmer Stephen Walker, while plowing his field, came across a large fragment of a jaw with teeth five centimeters high. In 1979 at Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains local residents They found a huge stone sticking out above the surface of the stream, on which could be seen the imprint of part of a huge foot with five toes. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 centimeters long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man six meters tall
Near Malgoa, three huge footprints were found, 60 centimeters long and 17 centimeters wide. The giant's stride length was measured at 130 centimeters. The footprints were preserved in fossilized lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Macleay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 centimeters long and the width of the foot is 25 centimeters. Obviously, the Aborigines of Australia were not the first inhabitants of the continent. Interestingly, their folklore contains legends about giant people who once lived in these territories.

Other evidence of giants

In one of the old books entitled History and Antiquity, now kept in the library of Oxford University, there is an account of the discovery of a gigantic skeleton made in the Middle Ages in Cumberland. “The giant is buried four yards deep in the ground and is in full military garb. His sword and battle ax rest next to him. The skeleton is 4.5 yards (4 meters) long and the teeth " big man"measures 6.5 inches (17 centimeters)"

In 1877, near Ewreka, Nevada, prospectors were panning for gold in a deserted hilly area. One of the workers accidentally noticed something sticking out over the cliff ledge. People climbed the rock and were surprised to find human bones of the foot and lower leg along with the kneecap. The bone was immured in the rock, and the miners used picks to free it from the rock. Assessing the unusualness of the find, the workers brought it to Evreka. The stone in which the rest of the leg was embedded was quartzite, and the bones themselves turned black, which indicated their considerable age. The leg was broken above the knee and consisted of the knee joint and completely preserved bones of the lower leg and foot. Several doctors examined the bones and concluded that the leg undoubtedly belonged to a person. But the most intriguing aspect of the find was the size of the leg - 97 centimeters from knee to foot. The owner of this limb during his lifetime had a height of 3 meters 60 centimeters. Even more mysterious was the age of the quartzite in which the fossil was found - 185 million years, the era of dinosaurs. Local newspapers vied with each other to report the sensation. One of the museums sent researchers to the site in hopes of finding the remaining parts of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was discovered.

In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant people on the shores of Lake Elizi in Central Africa. The 12 men buried in the mass grave had heights from 350 to 375 centimeters during their lifetime. It is curious that their skulls had sloping chins and two rows of upper and lower teeth.

There is evidence that during the Second World War in Poland, during the burial of those executed, a fossilized skull 55 centimeters high was found, that is, almost three times larger than that of a modern adult. The giant to whom the skull belonged had very proportional features and a height of at least 3.5 meters

Giant Skulls

Ivan T. Sanderson, a famous zoologist and frequent guest on the American Tonight show, popular in the 60s, once shared with the public interesting story about a letter he received from a certain Alan McShir. The author of the letter in 1950 worked as a bulldozer operator on the construction of a road in Alaska. He reported that workers discovered two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the burial mounds. The height of the skulls reached 58 cm and the width 30 centimeters. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. It should be noted that the custom of deforming the skulls of infants in order to force their heads to acquire an elongated shape as they grew, existed among some Indian tribes of North America. The vertebrae, like the skulls, were three times larger than modern man. The length of the shin bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.

IN South Africa During diamond mining in 1950, a fragment of a huge skull 45 centimeters high was discovered. Above the brow ridges were two strange protrusions that resembled small horns. Anthropologists who came into possession of the find determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.

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

Almost all nations have legends about Giants who lived in ancient times on the territory of one country or another. Armenia is no exception, but unlike other places, the stories here cannot be so easily dismissed. And, although not all anthropologists and archaeologists believe that we are talking about an entire race of giants, and not about isolated tall specimens, attempts do not stop to discover the last refuges of our distant ancestors or traces of their economic activities.

Thus, during a scientific and practical expedition that took place in 2011, a number of evidence was collected, from which it followed that fairly large people, 2 or more meters tall, inhabited some regions of Armenia.

Fragments of a skeleton found in a crypt in the village of Khot.

Artsrun Hovsepyan, director of the Goshavank historical complex, said that in 1996, when laying a road through the hills, bones were found so large that when they were applied to oneself, they reached the level of the throat. Komitas Aleksanyan, a resident of the village of Ava, says that local residents found skulls and leg bones of very large sizes, almost the size of a person. According to him: “Once it happened last fall (2010) and another 2 years ago (2009), on the territory of our village, where the grave of St. Barbara is located.”

Ruben Mnatsakanyan, an independent researcher, mentioned in an interview for the “City of Giants” program (Culture TV channel) that he discovered bones that were very large, the length of the entire skeleton was approximately 4 m 10 cm. “I carried the skull in my hands and could see no closer than 2 meters in front of you. Such was its size. The shin was higher than my lower back, it was about 1 m 15 cm. This bone was also not a light one.” In 1984, construction of a new plant was underway near the city of Sisian. Tractors were digging the foundation. Suddenly one of them, throwing away a layer of earth, stopped. An ancient burial opened before the observers, where the remains of a very large man lay. The burial in which the second giant lay was piled on top huge stones. The skeleton was covered with earth up to the middle of the ribs, there was a sword along the body, with both hands he held its hilt, which was made of bone. Before this, I thought that giants lived in ancient times. Perhaps I would not have paid attention to it, but the sword was made of metal, because along the entire body there was a layer of rust left over from the iron.

Pavel Avetisyan, director of the Institute of Archeology, claims that on the territory of Gyumri, in the area of the Black Fortress, huge skulls and even entire skeletons of the ancient period were discovered, which were shown to him. “I was just taken aback, because probably the thumb of such a person would be thicker than my hand. I myself participated in excavations and often came across the remains of people who were much taller than me. Of course, I can’t tell you their height exactly, but it’s more than 2 meters. Because the tibia or hip bone that was discovered, when I put it on my leg, was much longer.”

Human bone found at excavations in Armenia. Still from the film "City of Giants". Although the height of a person, according to the authors’ assumption, reached 2 meters, it still did not reach the “giant”

Movses Khorenatsi (a representative of Armenian feudal historiography, lived in the 5th and early 6th centuries) wrote that the cities of giants were also located in the gorge of the Vorotan River. This is the Syunik region, located in the southeast of Armenia. Here in the mountain village of Khot in 1968 a monument to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War was built. When the top of the mound was leveled, ancient tombs with unusual remains were discovered. The already mentioned Vazgen Gevorgyan: “The entire population of the village of Khot talks about the skeletons of giants found there. In particular, Razmik Arakelyan many years ago, during excavation work, personally saw the graves of two giants. The village headman, to whom his father showed the exact place, also spoke about this. Everyone who saw it was very surprised at how huge people once lived here. Apparently there was their cemetery there, and this place needs to be explored.”

In the neighboring village of Tandzatap there are also witnesses who spoke of giant bones - the tibia reached to the waist of the tallest of them. This happened in 1986, when they were making terraces for fruit trees. Tractors dug up the mountainside many meters deep. Thanks to this, very ancient layers were accessible. The tractor bucket demolished the bottom slab, and then the burial itself was revealed, from which the bone of a real giant was extracted. Mikhail Ambartsumyan, at that time personally supervised the work.

Mikhail Ambartsumyan, former village head: “I saw that a small hole had opened, lined with flat stones on the sides. There I found a leg bone: from the knee to the foot, about 1.20 cm long, I even called the driver, showed him, and he is a tall guy. We tried to see what else was in this hole, but it was too deep, and it was already dark, we couldn’t see. They left it that way. Then in the same hole I found a karas, that is, a huge jug, but, unfortunately, when I tried to pull it out, it broke. The height of the crucian carp reached about 2 meters.”

Sometimes there are also finds of mammoth skulls, which, due to their structure, are mistaken by many for “one-eyed skulls.” Seda Hakobyan, a resident of Yeghvard, mentioned that she once decided to break the concrete floor on the balcony, under the column, in order to fill it with concrete again and install a beam. When the concrete was broken, they found a flat stone under it, and under the stone a hole was discovered. “And in the hole they found a skull, one eyed, the eye was on the forehead, a mouth, and a small hole from the nose, very small. And there were also legs, very long, both together probably about 3 meters. From the bottom to the waist, the length reached 3 m. They took it out of the hole. My husband was advised to take the find to the museum. He took the skull, I don’t know whether he took the rest or not.” This suggests that the bones of mammoths or other animals could be confused with human bones.

There is also a scandal associated with the quoted film “City of Giants”, so a leading researcher at the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Ph.D. Maria Borisovna Mednikova sent an open letter to the Kultura TV channel and stated that her words were distorted in the film because she is opposed to the existence of a “race of giants.” As a result, the program began to be broadcast without her interview. In general, M.B. Mednikova expressed very interesting thoughts, noting that the so-called “high-mountain type” of a person has always been “head and shoulders above” his fellows. Both the Caucasus and the territory of Armenia are one of the centers of tallness, so the appearance here of people taller than the average highlander of that time is quite normal.

Findings of human skeletons significantly exceeding the size that modern science can imagine does not mean that it was an entire race; it may be more correct to talk about only some of its representatives, who, for their growth, were endowed with divine properties during life, and were buried in special stone burial grounds with greater honors than their compatriots who were not touched by all the genetic advantages of the “high mountain type”?

By the way, I can explain the history of this photo, for example:

At first, the scandalous photo was circulated without any details. They appeared only in 2007 in the Indian magazine Hindu Voice.

Where the correspondent reported that the skeleton of an 18-meter-tall giant was discovered in northern India during excavations organized by the National Geographic Society, its Indian branch and with the support of the Indian Army.

The publication emphasized that clay tablets with inscriptions were found along with the skeleton. And from them it followed that the giant belonged to a race of superhumans who were mentioned in the Mahabharata - the Indian epic of 200 BC.

The editor of the magazine - one P. Deivamuthu - then apologized to the National Geographic Society by sending a letter. He allegedly fell for facts obtained from sources that, as it has now become obvious, were not trustworthy.

But the thirst for knowledge could no longer be quenched. Information about the “Indian find” emerged from all the cracks of the Internet with renewed vigor. And, of course, along with a photo of the giant.

In short, the public suspects some kind of conspiracy. And she's right. There really was a conspiracy. It was organized back in 2002.

There are plenty of skeletons like this

As the investigation showed, the photo of the “Indian skeleton” was made by an artistic Photoshop specialist from Canada, a certain IronKite. But not for the sake of malice, but as a form of participation in the annual competition called “Archaeological Anomalies 2”. Where the author was awarded third place (which works were awarded the first and second prizes is not possible to determine now - access to the competition website is closed). Participants were asked to fabricate some amazing archaeological find. Which some did very talentedly. And it fell on fertile soil - many have no doubt that giants once lived on Earth.

Also - no less tall than an Indian

Graves of giants are also found underwater

IronKite reported by mail to National Geographic News that he pursued only highly artistic goals, and had nothing to do with subsequent fools. But he doesn’t want to reveal his name. From sin.

The original photograph was also discovered, which served as a kind of background and archaeological setting for the skeleton. The picture was taken in 2000 in New York's Hyde Park (New York) at the site of a real excavation. The skeleton of a mastodon, a prehistoric relative of the elephant, was discovered here.

Regarding the “Indian giant skeleton,” only one thing remained unclear: whose bones played its role?

And the pioneer IronKite seems to have attracted followers. And now the Internet is full of giant skeletons.

An excavation site that was used to “make” a pot with an Indian skeleton.

Legends about giants are spread all over the world. In the epics of many nations, three-meter-tall people are mentioned. Some believe that giant structures like the English Stonehenge are the graves of giants buried at colossal depths. Throughout human history, evidence has been found that incredibly tall people actually lived on Earth in ancient times.

Race of giants

Thus, in 1931, the imprint of a gigantic human foot was discovered in Mexico City. The existence of a race of giants is also evidenced by eyewitness accounts who traveled in Patagonia (South America) in the 16th century.

A huge copper ax weighing about 30 kilograms was found in an ancient burial ground in Ohio (USA). Another ax was found stuck in the ground in the US state of Wisconsin. Its weight and size leave no doubt - only a very tall person, who also had remarkable strength, could operate such a tool. This ax is now in the collection of the Missouri Historical Society.

During excavations in Siberia in the 60s, Soviet archaeologists became the owners of another unique find: dinosaur bones with a huge arrowhead sticking out of them.

Footprints in the sand

Not far from the city of Carson City (Nevada, USA), prints of a whole chain of footprints of bare feet were discovered in sandstone. The prints are very clear, and even a non-specialist can see that these are human footprints. The only thing that confuses scientists is the length of the foot, forever imprinted in sandstone, is almost 60 centimeters! The age of the find is about 248 million years!

But the imprint of a human foot discovered in Turkmenistan is 150 million years old. Scientists testify that the foot of our distant ancestor differs from the foot of modern man only in its incredible size. Next to this print there is a clear trace of a three-toed dinosaur paw! All this indicates only one thing - our ancestors could well have been giants. They existed in prehistoric times and hunted giant lizards, which looked not so huge next to these people.

The Man from Wilmington and the Giant from Cern

And images of giant people can be found in almost all countries. The most famous of them are the giants of Britain. These are the 70-meter “man from Wilmington” (Sussex County) and the 50-meter “Giant from Cern” (Doroeth County), the figures of the giants are located on the chalk hills. The ancient people removed the turf and grass there in such a way that the white base of the hills was exposed. The white outline of huge human figures is perfectly visible against the green background when viewed from an airplane.

Residents of Atlantis

So who were these giant people? According to anthropologists, powerful people distinguished by their gigantic growth, or, as they are commonly called, Atlanteans, inhabited America, Europe, Asia Minor and the South Caucasus in prehistoric times.

The “Caucasian branch” of the Atlantean civilization, whose heyday was in the tenth millennium BC, was adjacent to the Aryan tribes in the north who settled in Eastern Europe, the Black Sea region and the Volga region.

Six thousand years ago, the Aryans moved to Western Asia and India. In the Black Sea region they encountered the Atlanteans. The civilized Atlanteans, who, judging by the myths, did not even eat meat, began to be crowded out by barbarians. This is apparently where the legends about the fight against the titans came from. So the history of the Atlanteans before the flood is a century of struggle with the Aryans.

Amazing ending

Scientists determine the date of the flood as 3247 BC. It was because of this monstrous catastrophe that Atlantis perished.

A terrible earthquake destroyed the Dardanelles Isthmus, and the waters of the Mediterranean flooded the coasts of the Marmara and Black Seas. Many Atlantean cities were under water. This was the end ancient civilization. However, the Atlanteans did not disappear without a trace. A huge number of myths different nations tells about the giants of antiquity. The Atlanteans also had a great influence on the culture of the Slavs. After all, it was the giant Triptolemus who helped the Scythian-Slavs switch to agriculture. Most likely, the hero Svyatogor was also an Atlantean.

Caucasian crypt

As already mentioned, the remains of an ancient civilization are found here and there. So, in 1912, in one of the gorges North Caucasus(in the current territory Stavropol Territory) a crypt with the remains of giant people was found. The huge stone crypt had a low ceiling, and its interior walls were lined with tightly fitted stones. Four human skeletons lay exactly in the center. The bones amazed scientists with their size. The people who found their final refuge in the “Caucasian crypt” were one and a half times taller than modern people. All four skeletons were positioned with their heads to the west. Apparently, the giants were buried naked, since scientists did not find the remains of clothing in the crypt. Archaeologists were also struck by the peculiarity of the giants’ cranial bones. Just above the temples, the skulls had spherical growths the size of a little finger, which scientists dubbed “horns.”

Unfortunately, reports of this sensational discovery were soon replaced by even more sensational news of the sinking of the Titanic. The author was unable to clarify where the remains of the giants went...

Bao began his worldwide search for a bride in 2006 and even received more than 20 responses from interested girls from different parts of the country, but he found his destiny in his home region.

Everyone read fairy tales in childhood, and probably not only Russian ones, but also fairy tales of the peoples of the world. Giants are invariably present in the popular consciousness, fairy tales and epics of almost all nationalities on all continents. There are descriptions of giants in sacred texts. In all ancient written sources that have come down to us: in the Vedas, Avesta, Edda, the Bible, Chinese and Tibetan chronicles, giants are reported everywhere. Even the Assyrian cuneiform clay tablets speak of the giant Izdubar, who towered above all other people, like a cedar above a bush.
Materials regularly appear on the Internet about discoveries of giant human skeletons, both in the past and present. The first time I came across material about Russian finds, which prompted me to collect a collection of photographs of what I would come across freely floating on the Internet.The mystery of the Terengul giants

In Sri Lanka, on the island of Ceylon, there is a cone-shaped mountain 2240 meters high, which is revered by adherents of all four world religions. The reason for this veneration is the imprint of a human foot in the rock at the very top. According to legend, this mountain is located next to paradise. Mount Adam, as the peak is called, is annually visited by thousands of pilgrims during the dry season: Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and Muslims. Since climbing under the scorching rays of the sun is too difficult an ordeal, the pilgrimage is performed at night. The shortest route involves climbing 5,000 steep steps.

The size of the human foot print on the top is very unusual: length - 160 centimeters, width - 75.

In 1911, Lovelock Cave, located 20 miles south of Lovelock, Nevada, began to be excavated after guano miners discovered many broken arrows and other artifacts. Somewhat later, human remains of an unusually large size were found in the cave. Due to the fact that some of them were completely covered with a layer of guano, their skin and hair were preserved, it turned out that the giants were red. Even the shrunken mummified corpses were no lower than 2.4 meters. At the same time, some bodies actually reached 3.5 meters in height.

In this photo you can see a jaw discovered in Lovelock Cave - despite the proportional similarity to a human, the size of the bone seems abnormally large. Although many artifacts have been lost (or "lost") over the past century, some can still be seen at the Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca, as well as at the Nevada State Historical Society Museum in Reno. Reno). In addition, on June 19, 1931, articles appeared in the press about giant remains found in a local lake. The skeletons were wrapped in cloth treated with rubber. The height of the people to whom the remains belonged reached 2.4 and 3 meters.

Recently, archaeologists discovered the remains of ancient people of gigantic stature in the Kuban. They were buried about 4 thousand years ago... We talk about the phenomenon of giant people who lived in the Caucasus and other anomalous phenomena with Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the scientific research public association "Cosmopoisk". “Tomb of the Giants” - What other anomalous phenomena did this year mark? - Firstly, our expedition visited a man who was struck by ball lightning 5 times. He lives in Krasnodar region, in Ust-Labinsk. We went to see him immediately after the fifth lightning “attack”. They took the T-shirt he was wearing at the time of the impact. It is burned through, the edges of the hole are melted,
and we hope that fragments of the substance that makes up ball lightning remain there. We are going to study it in the laboratory.

Secondly,
we were in Ingushetia, where after a mountain collapse a cave opened up, which
Locals call it the cave of the genies. I must say that for many
Muslims are very real entities, they believe in them. To this cave
they are afraid to come at night: people there begin to behave inappropriately,
for some reason they take off their pants, feel suspended by their legs, etc. Immediately
after the rock collapsed, riot police visited this place, climbed inside,
but they suddenly became afraid. They got out and threw grenades into the cave. TO
Unfortunately (or fortunately), we no longer found the genies in the cave (laughs).

- You several years ago
discovered a “grave of giants” in the Caucasus. Were you able to explore it? How
since recently there was a message that in the Kuban archaeologists stumbled upon
burials of very tall people.

In the Caucasus, legends about giant people
distributed everywhere. They are called Narts, there are legends about them
almost all the peoples of the North Caucasus.

That grave that we found several years ago
back, is an artificial mound. When looking at
There is no doubt in his mind that this is the grave of a gigantic creature.
The dimensions of the stepped pyramidal mound are comparable to those of Egypt
pyramids, the platform alone at the top is 80 meters long.
It is oriented strictly along the east-west line, which is typical for
many ancient burials. Previously, we probed the hill with a geolocator.
The device showed that there were “foreign” inclusions in the depths. Excavations
have not yet been held, but this year they were not needed: we were invited
to a similar place where a mudflow opened up a stone-lined underground
cavity. This is in Kabardino-Balkaria, near the Georgian border. We
climbed down into the cavity using a rope and found many skulls and
bones. These are not the remains of giants, but definitely the skulls belonged to
very tall people. This means that Caucasian legends about giant ancestors are not
are baseless.

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

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

Giant people
still existed, and direct evidence of this is the skeletons,
found in the Meshoko cave. A huge burial was discovered by local
population, which was immediately reported to the authorities. Archaeologists arrived
to the place of discovery, they confirmed that the bones indeed belonged to
Homo Sapiens. Previously, the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks, but
a recent mountain collapse revealed to humanity a large archaeological
riddle.

On March 29, experts cleared up the remains of the giants a little and already said
their exact height. Its indicators range from 3.5 to 4 meters. But this is still
Not all! The corresponding growth also suggested the presence of a huge cranial
boxes. This means that giant people could have been much smarter
Einstein and more capable than Leonardo da Vinci.

When the jaws of giant people were examined, it was discovered
A unique phenomenon for humanity - two rows of upper and lower teeth.
Of course, this is physiologically impossible in the mouth of a modern person,
Therefore, giant people had a sloping chin, which made it possible to fit
all the teeth in the mouth. At the same time, the skull of a giant man has a height of 43.5
up to 55.7 cm.

Archaeologists cannot yet provide more detailed comments. Skeletons
They are now clearing the ground and heading to Krasnodarsky’s laboratory
the edges. As WellNews.ru correspondents were told, the find
US scientists became interested. Perhaps some of the skeletons will be transported
for research in the American state.

Before the flood people were giants

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 the discovery of skeletons of abnormally tall people in different parts of the globe.

In 1821, in the US state of Tennessee, the ruins of an ancient stone wall were found, and under it were two human skeletons 215 centimeters tall. In Wisconsin, during the construction of a granary in 1879, huge vertebrae and skull bones of “incredible thickness and size” were found, according to a newspaper article.

Australian finds

In 1930, near Basarst in Australia, prospectors mining jasper often found fossilized imprints of huge human feet. Anthropologists called the race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, megantropus. The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Megantropus are similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were discovered in China. Judging by the found fragments of jaws and many teeth, the height of the Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and their weight was 400 kilograms. Near Basarst, in river sediments, there were stone artifacts of enormous weight and size - clubs , plows, chisels, knives and axes. Modern Homo sapiens would hardly be able to work with tools weighing from 4 to 9 kilograms.

In 1971, in Queensland, farmer Stephen Walker, while plowing his field, came across a large fragment of a jaw with teeth five centimeters high. In 1979, in Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains, local residents found a huge stone sticking out above the surface of a stream, on which could be seen the imprint of part of a huge foot with five toes. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 centimeters long. It follows that the print was left by a man six meters tall. Three huge footprints, 60 centimeters long and 17 centimeters wide, were found near Malgoa. The giant's stride length was measured at 130 centimeters. The footprints were preserved in fossilized lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Macleay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 centimeters long and the width of the foot is 25 centimeters. Obviously, the Aborigines of Australia were not the first inhabitants of the continent. Interestingly, their folklore contains legends about giant people who once lived in these territories.

Other evidence of giants

In one of the old books entitled History and Antiquity, now kept in the library of Oxford University, there is an account of the discovery of a gigantic skeleton made in the Middle Ages in Cumberland. “The giant is buried four yards deep in the ground and is in full military garb. His sword and battle ax rest next to him. The skeleton is 4.5 yards (4 meters) long, and the "big man's" teeth measure 6.5 inches (17 centimeters)."

Even more mysterious was the age of the quartzite in which the fossil was found - 185 million years, the era of dinosaurs. Local newspapers vied with each other to report the sensation. One of the museums sent researchers to the site in hopes of finding the remaining parts of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was discovered.

Giant Skulls

Ivan T. Sanderson, a famous zoologist and frequent guest on 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 McShir. The author of the letter in 1950 worked as a bulldozer operator on the construction of a road in Alaska. He reported that workers discovered two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the burial mounds. The height of the skulls reached 58 cm and the width 30 centimeters. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. It should be noted that the custom of deforming the skulls of infants in order to force their heads to acquire an elongated shape as they grew, existed among some Indian tribes of North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger in size than those of modern humans. The length of the shin bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.

In South Africa, in diamond mining in 1950, a fragment of a huge skull 45 centimeters high was discovered. Above the brow ridges were two strange protrusions that resembled small horns. Anthropologists who came into possession of the find determined the age of the skull - about nine million years.

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

At the beginning of the 16th century, one discovery made the entire French kingdom talk about itself: a complete skeleton of a man of gigantic stature who lived in a very specific era was found. This was the king of the Cimbri, one of the two tribes that attacked Gaul and was defeated by the Roman general Marius. Nicolas Habicot published in 1613 “A Dissertation on the Frame of the Giant Teutobochus, King of the Cimbri.” This skeleton was indeed impressive because it belonged to a man 25 feet tall. The discovery, which was considered genuine, was talked about for a long time, and the supposed skeleton of “Teutobochus” occupied its rightful place in the Natural History Museum for several generations. This was believed even in the 19th century, but Cuvier, approaching his research more carefully, discovered a cunning hoax. The famous skeleton, submitted in September 1842 for consideration to the Academy of Sciences, turned out to be composed of real fossil bones, but these were not human bones at all: these were the bones of ... a mastodon, that is, a type of prehistoric giant elephant that disappeared even before the appearance of mammoths. This means that the clever “handicraftsman” simply figured out how to give the bones a “standing” position, so that the height and posture of the skeleton resembled that of a person.

It is also usually noted that the presence of giant monuments does not at all speak in favor of the actual existence of giants. Pyramids and megaliths are, of course, impressive, but there is no reason to claim that their creators were of gigantic stature. In the end, Cathedral in Strasbourg - also a huge building, but nevertheless, it was built by people of quite normal sizes, they just owned perfect technology.

And yet there are some very intriguing archaeological discoveries. Archaeologist Burkhalter, during excavations in Moravia, discovered a stone tool whose dimensions exceeded three by four meters and weighed three or four pounds! This, quite obviously, was a used tool, and not at all a symbolic item of household utensils; it is clear that the presence of a votive ax would no more prove the existence of giants than the discovery of huge statues in an ancient temple. But there is much better evidence: found in Tiaguanaco the 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 a paradise lost from the very beginning, an initial high initiation followed by a fall.”
