The largest human skull in the world. Giant skeletons are fake. Robert Wadlow - a fatal disease

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

Top 10 largest human skeletons in the world

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

big skull

The top 10 giant remains include:

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

Giant of Castelnau - one of the giants of France

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

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

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

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

18 skeletons in Wisconsin - number in doubt

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

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

Giant skull from Peru - a dark story with DNA

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

Large skeleton found in Peru believed to be alien

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

Five-meter skeleton from Australia - a fake?

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

The world's largest skeleton may be fake

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

Roman giant - records of the past

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

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

Skeleton bones of a Roman giant

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

Cemetery of giants in China - large for that period

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

5000 year old human skeletons from China

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

Giantess from Poland - the difficult fate of an unknown giant

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

The largest skeleton of a woman found in Poland

Researchers analyzing what's left of a woman's skeleton claim she lived short life full of past injuries and illnesses:

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

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

Giant from Kentucky - museum piece

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

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

Robert Wadlow - a fatal disease

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

In the photo, the largest man in the world is 2.72 m tall

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

Irish giant - controversy surrounding the remains

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

The largest skeleton comes from the 18th century

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

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

Every year, archaeologists and enthusiastic diggers discover many interesting things during excavations. There are finds that make you rewrite the pages of history, there are discoveries that open unknown pages, and there are also frankly creepy, terrifying ones. It is the latter that will be discussed in this review.

1. Burial of babies

Israel
One of the most gruesome recent archaeological discoveries has been made in Southern Israel. More than a hundred baby skeletons have been discovered in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon. The skeletons were found to be from the Roman era. Who these babies were and why they were killed remains a mystery.

2 Hobbit Skeletons

Indonesia
The Indonesian island of Flores was the site of an unusual discovery in 2003, when scientists discovered the bones of a small ancient hominid, Homo Floresiensis, also known as the "hobbit". At first, researchers thought the bones might have belonged to a person with microcephaly (a disease that results in small heads and short stature), but other similarly small skeletons later found have led to the suggestion that "hobbits" are not just tiny people, but separate view.

3 Headless Vikings

England
In June 2009, archaeologists made a startling discovery in the seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset, England. During the construction of the Weymouth Road, a mass Roman burial was discovered containing the remains of 54 decapitated warriors and 51 skulls. Experts believe that the Vikings could have been executed for treason.

4. Skeleton Puzzle

Scotland
Any discovery of a human skeleton is somewhat macabre, but what happened after the discovery of four prehistoric mummies in the Scottish Outer Hebrides in 2001 has utterly horrified scientists. Radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis showed that each mummy was actually made from the body parts of several different people, "stacked" to look like one person.

5 Neanderthal Cannibals

Spain
In 1994, deep in the darkness of El Cidron, a cave system in northwestern Spain, scientists discovered the bones of 12 Neanderthals. The 51,000 year old skeletons belonged to a family of 3 children, 3 teenagers and 6 adults. Modern methods forensics showed that the family had been killed and eaten by another group of Neanderthals. Bones and skulls were cut open to extract bone marrow and brain.

6 Severed Legs

Canada
In the Canadian province of British Columbia, one of the most horrifying and baffling discoveries in recent decades has been made. Since 2007, at least 16 severed human legs, shod in sneakers, have been found on the coast here (from Jedediah Island to Botanical Beach). Although some of the legs have been identified, it is still unknown why they were cut off and how they ended up in the sea.

7. A fetus inside a bishop's coffin

Sweden
Researchers from the University of Lund, Sweden were surprised when they performed a CT scan of a mummified Scandinavian bishop. They found the remains of a tiny baby, laid at the feet of the bishop. Researchers believe the fetus may be related to Bishop. Another theory is that it may have been an illegitimate stillborn child who someone wanted to bury in a proper way.

8 Headless Gladiators

England
In 2005, a number of mysterious Roman skeletons were discovered in York, Northern England. All the skeletons belonged to people who had been beheaded. All the men died relatively young, all were taller than average for people of that period, and all were buried with weapons in their hands. Therefore, experts believe that the mysterious people were gladiators.

9 Mummies Of Frozen Children

Argentina
In 1999, archaeologists at the Llullaillaco volcano in Argentina made a shocking discovery when they discovered three mummified children left to freeze to death on the side of the volcano during an old Inca sacrifice ritual. Similar rituals were often performed by the ancient Incas to celebrate important events or prevent natural disasters.

10 Dead Skier

Italy
In 2015, the remains of Canadian skier Gregory Barnes were discovered in the Italian Alps. The creepy part of the story is the fact that the skier was actually buried under the snow for 35 years before being found. The Italian authorities who made the discovery said a hotter-than-usual summer caused the glacier to melt and unearth the remains. Barnes' body was found in a crack along with his passport, which was used to identify him.

11. Vampire graves

Poland
Archaeologists excavating a medieval cemetery in the Polish town of Kaldus have discovered 14 so-called vampire graves. During the medieval ages, people believed in the existence of vampires, and they used several methods to "cure" vampirism. Some of the supposed vampires were beheaded, others were buried face down, and most coffins were covered with rocks to keep the undead from escaping their graves.

12. The "oldest" leper

India
In 2009, a 4,000-year-old skeleton with obvious signs of leprosy was discovered in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The gruesome find immediately became the oldest known archaeological evidence of the dreaded disease. The fact that it was the skeleton that was buried suggests that the person was an exile (according to Hindu traditions, the dead are cremated).

13. Place of mass death

USA
In 1971, paleontologists discovered a massive animal death site in an Idaho cornfield. At the site of the former lake, there were about 200 different animal skeletons. The animals probably died by suffocating under a deep layer of volcanic ash about 12 million years ago.

14. The Man from Sligo

Ireland
When a 215-year-old beech tree in Sligo, Ireland, was uprooted by a violent storm in 2014, a gruesome find emerged from its exposed roots. They found a skeleton young man, now known as "the man from Sligo". Further analysis showed that the man lived in the early Middle Ages, between 1030 and 1200 AD. He was between 17 and 20 years old at the time of his death. Given the damage to his bones, he was probably killed.

15 Surrey Ghost Car

England
On the A3 motorway in England, accidents are fairly common, so the police in Surrey were not at all surprised when they called the station and said that a car with its headlights on had left the road into a ditch. But when the officers went to the call, they did not find the slightest sign of an accident. During a further search, just 20 meters from the alleged accident site, the remains of a wrecked car were found in the underbrush, behind the wheel of which the remains of the decomposing body of a young man “sat”. Police estimate it crashed 5 months ago.

BONUS

Scotland
For many years before the Protestant Reformation, St Mary's Chapel at St Nicholas' Church in Aberdeen, Scotland was always a quiet retreat for Catholic women who came to pray there. However, a few decades after the Reformation, the chapel began to be used for much more macabre purposes. Historians have recently unearthed evidence that the chapel served as a prison for suspected witches: would-be "witches" were imprisoned here until trial and execution.

From time immemorial, managers have used a proven reliable way to hide the truth - discredit. How it works? Very simple. Enough to show a couple of "blissful" who claim to have flown with aliens on flying saucers to a nearby village for beer. And then, on all TV channels, announcers, when reporting an observation of something that science cannot explain, use derogatory epithets, and at the same time a mysterious, condescending smile plays on their faces. Everything. The topic of UFOs is buried, and it is already indecent to start a conversation about it in a decent society.

This picture became a sensation, which ended in "puff" when it became known that the picture was created with the help of "Photoshop", especially for the competition in motherhood, mastering the skills of a graphic editor.

In the same way, they could discredit the information about the genuine finds of archaeologists, confirming the existence of a race of giants on Earth in the past. Remember how much information about such finds circulated in the press of the nineties and two thousand years? And all until the mass stuffing of fakes began, which quickly convinced everyone that a sane person would not even discuss the topic of giants. The issue has lost its relevance, public interest has subsided, and that's it. Another sensation is buried.

But a message flashed in the Western press, which again forced us to return to the theme of giants.

The Smithsonian Institution admitted to destroying thousands of giant human skeletons in the early 1900s.

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

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

New details surfaced during the trial when a number of Smithsonian insiders acknowledged the existence of documents that supposedly prove the destruction of tens of thousands of human skeletons ranging in size from 6 to 12 feet tall, according to AIAA spokesman James Charward. .), the existence of which traditional archeology, for various reasons, does not want to recognize.

The turning point in the case was the demonstration of a human femur 1.3 meters long as evidence of the existence of such giant human bones. This evidence blew a hole in the defense of the institute's lawyers, as the bone was stolen from the organization by a high-ranking curator in the mid-1930s, who kept it all his life and wrote a written confession on his deathbed about the cover-up operations of the Smithsonian Institution.

“It's terrible what they do to people,” he writes in his letter. “We hide the truth about the ancestors of mankind, about the giants who inhabited the earth, which are mentioned in the bible, as well as other ancient texts.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered the Institute to release classified information about anything related to “destruction of evidence relating to pre-European culture” and items “related to larger than normal human skeletons.”

“The publication of these documents will help archaeologists and historians to reconsider modern theories about human evolution and help us better understand the pre-European culture of America 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.

The information is, of course, debatable. If the decision of any Russian court can be read on its website, and this can be done in a few "clicks", then with the decisions of American courts, everything is much more complicated. It is very difficult to verify the information presented in this article.

But even if it is confirmed, how many people will believe that in 2015, which is just over two weeks away, we will learn the whole truth from the Smithsonian Institution? This is the first.

Second: - Did the Smithsonian put its paw on areological finds around the world? Of course not. This means that either the finds of the remains of giants are actually a "duck", to divert attention, or a cover-up conspiracy has a global scale.

I see no reason to doubt both options. The presence of a global conspiracy to curb the development of alternative energy, no one doubts. History is also not falsified spontaneously, but is coordinated from a single center. But there is one more moment in this whole story. There are too many fixed reports about the finds of the remains of giants. So much so that the explanation of this phenomenon by a simple "duck" seems completely unconvincing.

Here is an incomplete list of mysterious finds:

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

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

In 1885, in Gusterville (Pennsylvania), a stone crypt was discovered in a large grave mound, in which there was a skeleton 215 centimeters high. Primitive images of people, birds and animals were carved on the walls of the crypt.

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

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

In 1930, near Basharst, Australia, jasper miners often found fossilized imprints of huge human feet. The race of giant people, whose remains were found in Australia, anthropologists called megantropus. The growth of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Meganthropus are similar to Gigantopithecus, the remains of which were found in China. Judging by the fragments of jaws and many teeth found, the growth of Chinese giants was 3 to 3.5 meters, and the weight was 400 kilograms Near Basarst, in river sediments, there were stone artifacts of enormous weight and size - clubs, plows , chisels, knives and axes. Modern Homo sapiens I would hardly be able to work with tools weighing from 4 to 9 kilograms. An anthropological expedition, which specifically investigated the area in 1985 for the presence of the remains of megantropus, excavated at a depth of up to three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a petrified molar 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. The owner of the tooth had to be at least 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kilograms! Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the finds, amounting to nine million years.

In 1971, in Queensland, farmer Stephen Walker, while plowing his field, came across a large fragment of a jaw with teeth five centimeters high.

In 1979, in Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains, locals found a huge stone protruding above the surface of the stream, on which one could see the imprint of part of a huge foot with five fingers. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 cm long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man of six meters in height.

Three huge footprints 60 centimeters long and 17 wide were found near Malgoa. The giant's step length was measured 130 centimeters. Traces were preserved in the petrified lava for millions of years, even before Homo sapiens appeared on the Australian continent (if the theory of evolution is considered correct). Huge footprints are also found in the limestone bed of the Upper Maclay River. The fingerprints of these footprints are 10 cm long and the width of the foot is 25 cm. Obviously, the Australian Aborigines were not the first inhabitants of the continent. It is interesting that in their folklore there are legends about giant people who once lived in these territories.

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

The leg was broken above the knee and consisted of a knee joint and intact bones of the lower leg and foot. Several doctors examined the bones and came to the conclusion that the leg undoubtedly belonged to a person. But the most intriguing aspect of the find was the size of the leg - 97 centimeters from the knee to the foot. The owner of this limb during his lifetime had a height of 3 meters 60 centimeters. Even more mysterious was the age of the quartzite in which the fossil was found - 185 million years, the era of dinosaurs. One of the museums sent researchers to the place of discovery in the hope of finding the rest of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was found.

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

Ivan T. Sanderson, a renowned zoologist and frequent guest on the 1960s popular American show Tonight, once shared with the public curious story about a letter he had received from a certain Alan McShir. The author of the letter in 1950 worked as a bulldozer operator on the construction of a road in Alaska. He reported that the workers found two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the grave mounds.

The skulls were 58 cm high and 30 cm wide. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger than those of modern man. The length of the leg bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.

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

There is quite reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in Southeast Asia and on the islands of Oceania. Almost all peoples have legends about the Giants who lived in ancient times on the territory of a particular country. Armenia is no exception, but unlike other places, local stories cannot be dismissed so easily.

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

Artsrun Hovsepyan, director of the Goshavank historical complex, said that in 1996, when laying a road through the hills, bones of such a size were found 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 was last fall (2010) and 2 years ago (2009), on the territory of our village, where the grave of St. Barbara is located.”

Ruben Mnatsakanyan 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 me. That was his size. The lower leg was approximately 1 m 15 cm. This bone was also not easy.

In 1984, a new plant was being built near the city of Sisian. Tractors were digging the foundation. Suddenly one of them, discarding a layer of earth, stopped. An ancient burial was opened before the observers, where the remains of a very large man lay. The burial, in which the second giant lay, was littered with huge stones from above. Up to the middle of the ribs, the skeleton was covered with earth, there was a sword along the body, with two hands he held its handle, which was made of bone. Before that, I thought that the giants lived in ancient times. Maybe 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 from iron, Ruben Mnatsakanyan said.

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 whole skeletons of the ancient period were found, which they showed him. “I was just taken aback, because, probably, the thumb of such a person would be thicker than my hand. I myself participated in the excavations and often met the remains of people who were much taller than me. Of course, I won’t name their height for sure, but more than 2 meters. Because the discovered tibia or hip bone, when I applied it to my leg, was much longer.

Movses Khorenatsi (representative of Armenian feudal historiography, lived in the 5th-early 6th centuries) wrote that the cities of the 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 they built a monument to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. When the top of the mound was leveled, ancient tombs with unusual remains were opened.

Vazgen Gevorgyan: “The entire population of the village of Khot talks about the skeletons of giants found there. In particular, many years ago, Razmik Arakelyan personally saw the graves of two giants during earthworks. The headman of the village also told about this, to whom his father showed the exact place. Everyone who saw it was very surprised at what huge people once lived here. There must have been a graveyard there.

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

Mikhail Ambartsumyan, former headman of the village: “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, it was not visible. So they left it. 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. In height, the carp reached about 2 meters.

In addition, there is folklore that never appears from scratch. In legends, myths and legends of absolutely all peoples, memories of the race of giants have been preserved. And people say that "there is no smoke without fire." There is such a saying not only in Russian, the English say: - "There is no fire without smoke". In Latin, it sounds like "I Flamrnafutno estproximo" - "The flame follows the smoke."

Why scientists hide this information in every possible way, it became known only now. We must immediately make a reservation that scientists hide this information by hook or by crook, since it does not fit at all into the foundations of the world that history textbooks have been describing to us since childhood.

For a long time, burial places have been found on the planet, and more often - the remains of dead giant people. They are dug all over the world, both on land and under water in the seas and oceans. Another confirmation of this is a find in Yakutia. A group of independent researchers have been dealing with this issue for many years and have formed a true picture of what really happened on our planet 12-20,000 years ago. But it's not that long ago!

The growth of giants during their lifetime ranged from 4 to 12 meters, in addition to great physical strength, they had phenomenal mental faculties. Isn't that the one mysterious civilization Atlantes, which some consider mythical, while others really existed and died.

So, the researchers claim that it was this civilization of giants that built the pyramids not only in Egypt, but throughout the entire planet, the total number of pyramids they built is more than 600. Moreover, the construction was carried out in a strictly specified geometry.

The pyramids were erected without the use of any slave force with the help of a simple technology that is used now, this is an ordinary formwork, that is, the blocks were not moved a long distance, but poured into wooden molds with a strong concrete composition! And their purpose was energy and associated with cosmic energy, the use of which is still unknown to us.

It was then only another civilization of people, in particular, the Egyptians began to worship the supreme gods, who built the pyramids and made tombs for the pharaohs out of them, this is already a religion and a separate issue. As you understand, the Egyptians themselves did not build pyramids!

The most interesting question is why such giants could exist and why did they die!?

The fact is that scientists express a version of the four moons, and gravity on the planet was completely different and Atmosphere pressure another, under such physical conditions, giant people could feel great and live unreasonably long. And death is caused by a catastrophe, the fall of three moons on the surface of the earth.

But researchers refute this theory, since imagine what will happen if at least now our moon approaches our planet, this is not the end of the world, but simply its death. So there is an opinion that in fact the gravity on the planet was different, and around the earth there was a belt of ice asteroids, like rings around Saturn.

Therefore, the planet was extremely enriched with oxygen, which gave a strong impetus to the development of not only giant people, but also the animal world. But as a result of a change in the poles and other cosmic changes, the ice belt collapsed on the earth with a squall of water, which led to the death of this civilization, respectively, and climate change already close in physics to ours today.

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

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

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

Australian finds

An anthropological expedition, which specifically investigated the area in 1985 for the presence of the remains of megantropus, excavated at a depth of up to three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a petrified molar 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. The owner of the tooth had to be at least 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kilograms! Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the finds, amounting to nine million years.

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

Other evidence of giants

In 1877, near Eureka, Nevada, prospectors were working for gold panning in a deserted, hilly region. One of the workers accidentally noticed something sticking out above the ledge of the cliff. People climbed a rock and were surprised to find the human bones of the foot and lower leg, along with the patella. The bone was immured in the rock, and the prospectors freed it from the rock with picks. Assessing the unusualness of the find, the workers delivered it to Evreka. The stone, in which the rest of the leg was embedded, was quartzite, and the bones themselves turned black, which betrayed their considerable age. The leg was broken above the knee and consisted of a knee joint and intact bones of the lower leg and foot. Several doctors examined the bones and came to the conclusion that the leg undoubtedly belonged to a person. But the most intriguing aspect of the find was the size of the leg - 97 centimeters from the knee to the foot. The owner of this limb during his lifetime had a height of 3 meters 60 centimeters. Even more mysterious was the age of the quartzite in which the fossil was found - 185 million years, the era of dinosaurs. Local newspapers vied with each other to report the sensation. One of the museums sent researchers to the place of discovery in the hope of finding the rest of the skeleton. But, unfortunately, nothing more was found.

giant skulls

Ivan T. Sanderson, a well-known zoologist and frequent guest on the popular 1960s American show Tonight, once shared with the public a curious 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 the workers found two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the grave mounds. The skulls were 58 cm high and 30 cm wide. Ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. It should be noted that the custom of deforming the skulls of babies in order to make the heads become elongated as they grow, existed among some Indian tribes of North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger than those of modern humans. The length of the leg bones ranged from 150 to 180 centimeters.

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

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