Where in the world were the remains of primitive people found? Where were the oldest human remains found?

Smithsonian Institution (a research and educational institute founded by the US Congress and its complex of museums) admitted that he destroyed thousands of giants in the early 1900s human skeletons.
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 defense of the dominant theory of human evolution according to Darwin.

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, during judicial trial new details emerged as 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; mixednews note), the existence of which traditional archeology according to He doesn’t want to admit it for various reasons.

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 modern theories about human evolution and help us better understand pre-European culture in America and the rest of the world,” says AIAA Director Hans Guttenberg.

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.

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 - 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. Megantropus 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.

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 of the "big man" measure 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 feet and legs 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 was knee-joint and completely preserved bones of the 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.

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, 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, 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 not entirely reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in Southeast 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're talking about about an entire race of giants, and not about isolated tall specimens, attempts continue 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.

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 high with 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.”

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 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 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 about 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 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”?

Olduvai Gorge

Scientists have been arguing for decades about where the first man appeared on Earth. Supporters of the monopolar theory called the homeland of Homo habilis, who later became Homo sapiens, either Africa or South Asia.

In the Olduvai Gorge in East Africa, archaeologists found the skeleton of ancient man on the ground. It is 1.5 million years old. It was thanks to this discovery that the theory arose that the first man appeared in Africa, and then settled throughout the earth. However, in the 1980s, scientists made a sensational discovery in Siberia that changed the idea of human development.

The first man could have appeared not in Africa, as was previously believed, but in Siberia. This sensational version appeared in 1982. Soviet geologists were excavating along the banks of the Lena River in Yakutia. The area is called Diring-Yuryakh, translated from Yakut - Deep River. Quite by accident, geologists discovered a burial from the late Neolithic – 2nd millennium BC. And then, digging even deeper, they came across layers more than 2.5 million years old and found there the remains of the tools of ancient man.

Diring-Yuryakh

These are hewn cobblestones with a pointed end - they are called “choppers”. In addition to such ancient axes, anvils and chippers were also discovered. This led researchers to believe that, in fact, the first man appeared in Siberia. After all, the age of the local finds is more than 2.5 million years. This means that they are older than African ones.

Ancient axes, "choppers"

“There was a whole archipelago, where the ice is now solid, the Arctic Ocean. And due to some disasters, this civilization was destroyed, and the remnants of this people were forced to move to the mainland, to develop lands that now belong to the Arkhangelsk region, Murmansk , the Polar Urals, and further – to Siberia. There is also such an assumption,”- says historian, ethnographer Vadim Burlak.

Burial in Diring-Yuryakh

More recently, it turned out that on the territory of Russia there are traces not only of primitive people, that is, creatures that only superficially resembled humans, but did not have developed intelligence, but also a reasonable person, that is, similar to you and me.

Ancient weapons found in Diring-Yuryakh

For a long time it was believed that the first people, who were no different from us today, first appeared in Europe 39 thousand years ago. However, in 2007 it turned out that the earliest site of an ancient man is located on the territory modern Russia. Thus, it turns out that the first Homo sapiens was born twenty thousand years earlier, and not somewhere in the vicinity of Paris, but in the Voronezh region, where a simple village called Kostenki is now located. This opinion was expressed by the famous American scientist John Hoffecker.

"In 2007, a remarkable researcher from the United States of America, John Hoffecker, published in the journalScience an article that sounded like this: “The first European comes from Kostenki.” This article was based on his five years of work here in Kostenki, and on the dating that he and Vance Holiday, his comrade and colleague, made as a result of research, and these results were stunning. That is, the age of existence of Homo sapiens here, on the territory of Kostenki, is very sharply increasing in age,” - explains Irina Kotlyarova, chief researcher at the Kostenki Museum-Reserve.

Remains found in Kostenki, which are about 60 thousand years old

The American Hoffecker found out: the first Europeans settled this area 50-60 thousand years ago. And the most amazing thing is that these were really intelligent tribes. Of course, practically nothing remains from such ancient sites. Only depressions, stone tools and pits filled with ash from burnt bones. And newer sites, those in which our ancestors lived about 20 thousand years ago, are well preserved in Kostenki.

Wall made of mammoth bones

Even houses whose walls are made of mammoth bones have been preserved. Researchers have found that the inhabitants of these houses knew how to make tools, hunted, gathered, built houses, had a well-established life and lived in a community. Mammoths were the main source of human life. A huge number of them lived in this area. People hunted them. They made clothes from the skins and ate the meat they caught. The bones of these animals were also used.

Irina Kotlyarova in one of the houses of Kostenki culture

The Kostenki archaeological culture is stunning in scale. About six dozen large human sites were found here. According to some experts, at least a thousand people lived here. Others estimate the population of the ancient Voronezh region more modestly - about 600 people. In any case, this number seems very impressive. After all, even the population of medieval European cities rarely exceeded several hundred people. Of course, the oldest sites in Kostenki cannot be called a city. But for such a long time there was simply a huge population living here.

Layout of sites of ancient people in Kostenki

The collection of miniatures truly amazed archaeologists. These are figures of mammoths carved from dense rock - marl. Most likely, already 22 thousand years ago the inhabitants of Kostenki knew how to count. This seems completely incredible to most anthropologists.

Spearheads found during excavations in Kostenki

From this conclusion it follows that the Voronezh civilization is twenty thousand years older than the Sumerian kingdom, with its clay tablets, and the ancient Egyptians. Scientists claim that long before the Sumerian Anunaki in Kostenki they already knew how to count mammoths and write down, without relying on memory. So the mammoths from Lizyukov Street - drawn by the hand of the prehistoric Picasso - are a completely scientific argument in favor of the fact that Voronezh is the cradle of human civilization.

It is generally accepted that Russians are a fairly young nation. In fact, the Egyptian pyramids were already built four thousand years ago. By the birth of Christ, the ancient Romans had already sunk to the bottom of luxury and even debauchery, while our ancestors had not yet really begun anything - no state, no culture, no writing.

Historians decided to check if this is really true? And it turned out that 6 thousand years ago, when the Sumerian civilization, as is generally considered the first on Earth, was just emerging - in our country, on the territory of the modern Urals, our ancestors were so developed that they even knew metallurgy.

“We are talking about a very large developed civilization on a very large territory, which had a strong influence on the entire Eurasian region - this is already clear and beyond doubt. Therefore, here, I think, the future belongs to science,” - says Alexey Palkin, researcher at the Laboratory of Natural, Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

This is the island of Vera. It is located in the Chelyabinsk region on Lake Tugoyak. In the 80s of the last century, archaeologists discovered a find here that became a real sensation: amazing ancient structures that turned out to be much older than the famous English Stonehenge. It was this discovery that made scientists seriously start talking about the fact that the first civilized society in the history of not only Russia, but all of Europe, and perhaps the whole world, originated right here - in the Chelyabinsk region, next to the Ural ridge.

"II understand that this may cause a shock, what I’m going to say now, but I’m saying this completely responsibly, these megaliths on Vera Island, they are much brighter and more interesting than Stonehenge. Why? Because Stonehenge is a great thing, but there is only one there. Here. Here in this particular place, and here on a plot of 6 hectares there are several objects different types", -

Megalith No. 1

The ancient structure discovered on Vera Island is called “Megalith No. 1”. That's what archaeologists called it. Once this ancient building was 3.5 meters high and served as an observatory. The ancient builders specially positioned the window so that on the days of the summer and winter solstice the sun's ray would penetrate, falling directly on the altar.

Megalith window

The main mystery of the ancient observatory is not even how people at that stage of their development came up with the idea of monitoring the movement of celestial bodies, but that the building was made of huge stone blocks. Each one weighs several tens of tons. It turns out that the ancient inhabitants of these territories near modern Chelyabinsk were able not only to move heavy boulders, but could put it all together correctly. So reliable that even after thousands of years, the megalith did not collapse.

Central Hall

There is a central hall, which is connected to the side chambers by corridors. The hall is made up of a number of megaliths, which are located on the sides and in the ceiling. There are about twenty-five to thirty of them in total. The largest of them weighs 17 tons. The size of the megaliths is from one and a half to two and a half meters in length and half a meter in width. The construction dates back to the 4th - 3rd millennium BC.

The huge slabs were made by nature itself - this is the remnant of the mountain. But in order for the blocks to lie flat, the ancestors had to process them.

Nearby, archaeologists discovered a real smelting furnace. Its design suggests that metal smelting technologies in ancient times were practically no different from those that were invented just a couple of centuries ago. It turns out that the semi-wild tribes who lived on this island were engaged in non-ferrous metallurgy.

“It was here that the oldest copper smelting furnace was located. Scientists discovered a chimney that stands out very clearly against the general background. Traces of smoke that were reflected on the stones clearly remained and are visible on the stones,” - says Alexey Palkin, researcher at the Laboratory of Natural, Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Zyuratkul geoglyph

The fact that an incredibly developed population lived on the territory of the Chelyabinsk region thousands of years ago is evidenced by another amazing find - the Zyuratkul geoglyph. It was discovered by accident. In 2011, one of the Zyuratkulsky employees national park I noticed that the grass at the foot of the ridge was growing unevenly. This is despite the fact that they clearly did not exert any mechanical influence on it. The scientist decided to find out the reasons for this strange phenomenon. He was able to establish that the grass does not grow in some places because it is hampered by boulders laid out in a path resembling a drawing or even a diagram. To see it in its entirety, national park staff took a helicopter and discovered a giant drawing laid out on the ground. Most of all it resembles an image of a moose.

The size of this moose is impressive: the length of the pattern is 275 meters. The age of the geoglyph is 5-6 thousand years. How its creators controlled the accuracy of the laying, how they managed to maintain the direction and correctness of the lines, if the entire pattern is visible only from a great height, is unclear. But most importantly, why did they need this image of a moose?

The geoglyph resembles an image of a moose

"INIn the Neolithic period, in the Urals we had mainly a household - hunters, fishermen, and so on. That is, the population that built this here must have exploited a significant territory. That is, we are talking about some connections between these groups, about some slightly different social structures than we imagine it to be today. This is not just a group, a separate group of hunters and fishermen, it is a more complex social organization," - says Stanislav Grigoriev, archaeologist, senior researcher at the Institute of History and Archeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

If archaeologists were not mistaken in determining the age of this miracle, then it turns out that our ideas about the abilities and capabilities of the ancient population of Russia do not correspond to reality, which means that official science was mistaken, claiming for many years that intelligent life came to these parts only shortly before baptism Rus'.

Scientists treat this hypothesis with great caution. However, new archaeological finds raise more and more questions for which there is no answer yet.

Another proof that ancient people on the territory of modern Russia were very developed is located in the Ignatievskaya Cave. It is located at the southern tip Ural mountains in the Chelyabinsk region. In 1980, speleologists accidentally discovered a drawing on its arches that made a real revolution in archaeology. Research has shown that the drawings were made on the walls more than 14 thousand years ago. In no place on the planet has it ever been possible to find a drawing of such antiquity that would contain a clear plot. This cave depicts the very process of the creation of life. Exactly as our ancient ancestors saw it.

But why does the whole world know about the oldest rock paintings in Australia, and in all archeology textbooks people and bulls from Algeria are given as the first drawings? After all, they appeared on the walls of caves in the 11th century BC. That is, later than the Ural ones by 13 thousand years. Why are scientific journals silent about the discovery of Ural archaeologists?

Many experts are confident that the fact is that such data will force a review of not only scientific theories, but also to rewrite school textbooks.

Here is some information that recently appeared on the Internet: The Smithsonian Institution has admitted to destroying 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.

“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 parts of the world globe skeletons of abnormally tall people.

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

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.

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 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 "big man's" teeth measure 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.

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.

There is not entirely reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in Southeast 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.

Artsrun Hovsepyan, the director of the Goshavank historical complex said that in 1996, when laying a road through the hills, bones were found of such a size 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 program “City of Giants” (TV channel “Culture”) 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 in front of me no closer than 2 meters. 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 high with 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– the 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. 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.”

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.

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, an 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” came from all the cracks of the Internet from new strength. 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.

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.

and make sure that The original article is on the website InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy was made -

Despite the impressive number of important discoveries made on the territory of Russia, scientists continue to find more and more new remains of ancient people that attract the attention of researchers. A little over a week ago, on July 18, in the Chelyabinsk region, archaeologists found the skeleton of an ancient woman with an unusually elongated skull. The burial ground where the excavations were carried out dates back to the 2nd-3rd centuries AD, and on its territory there are 15 mounds of an unusual horseshoe shape.

Scientists believe that the woman belonged to the late Sarmatians, an ancient tribe that roamed the territories of modern Ukraine, Kazakhstan and southern Russia.

The unusual shape of the woman’s skull is explained by ancient traditions, when children’s heads were tightly tied with ropes and planks, after which the bones acquired an elongated shape.

Historians have not yet given a clear answer to the question of why exactly the nomads changed the shape of the heads of members of their tribe in this way. It is known that the ancient Egyptians, as well as the Indians, had the custom of pulling out skulls.

As practice shows, excavations of burials, in addition to unusual remains, can present scientists with many other surprises: for example, when studying the burial grounds of people who belonged to the Manych catacomb culture (they are located in Rostov region, and date back to the 23rd century BC), scientists discovered perfectly preserved wooden carts.

There is active debate about why exactly people placed carts in burial grounds: some scientists believe that they were vehicles, used in Everyday life people and placed in burials to provide a person with the opportunity to move comfortably even after death. Other researchers divide carts into ritual ones, made specifically for burial, and into household ones:

the first carriages were supposed to be used to give the highest military honors to the deceased, and the second were placed in the graves of the family aristocracy or the heads of large families.

Speaking about the most famous ancient inhabitants of Russia, it is first of all worth remembering Denisovan man. His fragmentary remains - the little finger of a small child - were discovered in 2008 in Denisova Cave in Eastern Siberia, on the border of the Altai Republic and Altai Territory Russian archaeologists Anatoly Derevyanko and Mikhail Shunkov.

Radiocarbon dating of the bones showed that Denisovan man lived about 40 thousand years ago. The genome of the ancient inhabitant of Altai was completely sequenced by an international team of scientists led by Swedish geneticist Svante Pääbo. As a result of the work, it turned out that Denisovans are very different from modern people: even Neanderthals turned out to be closer relatives of modern humans than Denisovans. It means that

the man from Denisova Cave separated from our common ancestor earlier than Neanderthals and modern humans - more than a million years ago.

In addition, it turned out that Denisovans coexisted simultaneously with Neanderthals, and sometimes even interbred with them. By the way, Svante Pääbo studied the genome of Altai Neanderthals who lived in Okladnikov Cave (Southern Siberia). As a result of the work, it turned out that the Okladnikovsky Neanderthal was the only representative of his species who managed to conquer Siberia.

A little more than a year back "Gazeta.Ru" about another unique find that was made on the banks of the Irtysh near the village of Ust-Ishim in the Omsk region. In 2008, local historian Nikolai Peristov exhibited in his workshop a large collection of bones and teeth of mammals that lived in the Irtysh valley about 20-50 thousand years ago and even earlier. In 2010, paleontologist and forensic expert Alexey Bondarev began studying this collection, who paid special attention to a bone that resembled a human femur.

A little later, other Russian and foreign researchers were involved in the work, it was established that the bone actually belongs to a person modern type, and its age is about 45 thousand years - until now there has been no direct evidence of such early human penetration into the north of Eurasia. The find turned out to be extremely valuable for scientists for one more reason: the DNA was very well preserved in the bone, which allowed geneticists to establish that the admixture of Neanderthal genes in the DNA of the Ust-Ishim man was greater than that of modern population Eurasia. It means that

Ust-Ishim man lived shortly after the accidental crossing of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons. This fact in itself has great importance to study the evolutionary history of modern humans and their possible genetic connections with other hominid species.

2014 brought another discovery concerning the DNA of ancient “Russians”. Thus, a research group led by Danish professor Eske Willerslev was able to study the DNA of a person whose remains were found in the Voronezh region, namely, on the territory of the Kostenkovsko-Borshchevsky complex of Stone Age sites. Last year, Eske Willerslev told Gazeta.Ru that the age of the ancient inhabitant of the Voronezh region was about 37 thousand years, in addition, he was a relative of his European contemporaries.

Thanks to DNA analysis of the remains, researchers were able to find out new facts about the migrations of ancient people, as well as confirm the existence of a metapopulation that occupied territories from Europe to Central Asia, within which complex genetic exchange took place.

Be that as it may, the study of ancient burials always presents scientists with new surprises and discoveries, the flow of which, apparently, will not dry up yet for a long time. For example, in the near future specialists will have to analyze the genetic material of the remains man from Chagyrskaya cave, which is also located in Altai.

People's ability to believe in miracles has long been a reliable source of income for various types of scammers. This time the forger was not chasing a long dollar - he worked for the love of art...

In this article I would like to analyze in detail the fairly large-scale falsification of the last decade. Its essence is that archaeologists allegedly find the remains of giant people all over the Earth, up to 2, 3, 4 and even 10 meters tall. This has become a tasty morsel for lovers of various kinds of sensations and conspiracy theories. Many sites, starting with those who simply love sensations of any kind (very “yellow” sites), and ending with sites of a creationist orientation, are actively publishing more and more new photographs of the found “remains”, “exposing the theory of evolution of official science” by demonstrating these same “ photographs of giants. Immediately, lovers of everything mystical and mysterious began to put forward versions that it was he who built the pyramids, placed the stones of Stonehenge - in a word, created all the ancient Wonders of the World, which were supposedly beyond the power of an ordinary person.

It is not surprising that in our time people believe, to put it mildly, unreliable rumors. I want secrets, I want riddles, even where there are none. What is surprising is not that there are lovers of sensations, but how many of them there are. By typing the query “giant skeleton” into Google, we will see a sea of sites where photographs of “remains” are posted; hundreds of people enthusiastically write in the comments: “now I believe!” and curse modern science for hiding the truth.

Adding powder to the fire is the fact that in some religions and myths of antiquity giants and giants are mentioned. “So here it is, the lost link!” - gullible people exclaim. Meanwhile, using false facts to prove any hypothesis, even the most correct one, can only ruin both your reputation and the credibility of the hypothesis.

Let's look at what these amazing “photos” are and where they came from. Let's start with the very first and most famous of them.

Return to the valley of the giants - a photo montage depicting archaeological excavations of a giant humanoid skeleton, which took third place in the competition in 2002 graphic design“Archaeological Anomalies-2”, which was held on the website www.worth1000.com. . Soon after its publication, the photo was widely circulated on the Internet and, with accompanying articles, was published by some media as evidence of the existence of an ancient race of giants, references to which are contained in the Bible and the myths of many peoples. After the misunderstanding was discovered, the author of the photo montage, known under the pseudonym IronKite, gained some fame in the communities graphic designers and researchers of anomalous phenomena.

Story

In 2004, a photograph from an archaeological excavation of a giant humanoid skeleton circulated on the Internet and some print media. Based on the size of the archaeologists’ figures in the same photograph, the length of the skeleton was estimated at 18-24 meters. The first online reports claimed that the discovery was made in the desert in western India by a National Geographic expedition. According to the source, the excavation area is cordoned off by the Indian army, and all details are classified. The report also spoke of the discovery of stone tablets with ancient inscriptions in Sanskrit, according to which the skeletons belonged to the mythical giants Rakshasas, who challenged the gods and were destroyed by them.

Another version of this story was published on April 24, 2004 in the Bangladeshi newspaper The New Nation. According to this newspaper, the discovery was made in the desert in southeastern Saudi Arabia by a Saudi Aramco search team searching for natural gas deposits. It was also claimed that tablets with inscriptions in Arabic were found in the burial, according to which the remains belonged to representatives of the ancient Aad tribe, descendants of the Old Testament prophet Noah mentioned in the Bible and the Koran. The tribe defied the plans of Allah and was destroyed by him. The location of the discovery was cordoned off by Saudi troops; the photo was taken from a military helicopter.

Similar articles were published in the March 2007 issue of the Indian magazine Hindu Voice, published in Mumbai, and subsequently in several other print media.

An elementary examination of the photograph made by the center for the study of paranormal phenomena Rationalist International discovered that there are no independent sources of information about the find, and the photograph itself bears traces of software processing using a graphics editor. The most obvious sign of a fake was the different direction and intensity of the shadows cast by the giant skeleton and the objects surrounding it. A more detailed study showed that the photo is a montage of fragments of several images. Apparently, it was a photograph of a real archaeological excavation, with an enlarged image of a human skeleton embedded in the central part.

Subsequently, the source of the photomontage was identified.

Society spokesman James Owen conducted the investigation. And I found, pardon the pun, “where the legs grow from” on this skeleton.
As the investigation showed, the photograph of the giant came from the famous website worth1000.com, where a graphic design competition called “Archaeological Anomalies” was held. The goal of the competition was to create images illustrating fictitious archaeological finds. The site publishes works of various types, ranging from frankly humorous to high-quality imitations of photos of archaeological excavations. The author of the work is a Canadian illustrator known under the pseudonym IronKite (Russian iron kite), in email told the editors of National Geographic magazine that he did not intend to mislead anyone. However, the image fell on fertile ground - many have no doubt that giants once lived on Earth.

Here is a direct link to the work itself with Giants by IronKite on the website worth1000.com

Soon one of the original photographs was discovered, which served as material for editing. It was taken on September 16, 2000 in the town of Hyde Park, New York, where a paleontological group at Cornell University led by Professor John Chiment was excavating the remains of a mastodon aged 14 to 11 thousand years

The National Geographic Society, created back in 1888 in the USA, is one of the oldest in the world. Since that time, it has been publishing the famous National Geographic magazine. And now, keeping up with the times, he also publishes news on the Internet every day on his National Geographic News portal.
Society is the most authoritative organization. They trust her. This is why there are a lot of people who believe that the photos of a giant skeleton that have been circulating on the Internet for several years are authentic. They excite the imagination and make one believe in conspiracies of scientists against civilization. After all, the discovery of the gigantic skeleton is “hung” specifically on the geographical society. Allegedly, its specialists participated in the excavations.

Any sane person can easily guess that the photos are fake, says National Geographic News illustration editor Sebastian John. “However, we regularly receive requests in the hundreds by email from all over the world. Like, tell me, what kind of skeleton is this? Is it true that they found it? Where is he now? Is it hidden from prying eyes?

National Geographic could not resist, and in 2007 published a refutation of these photographs - but things are still there. More and more “remains” are being created, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they tell me: “Well, look, there are so many photographs! It can’t all be fake!” Alas, all this is really the fruit of the creativity of people who masterfully (and sometimes very poorly) use Photoshop. And the beginning of this story surprisingly coincides with the publication of creativity on worth1000.com. The multitude of photographs can easily be explained by the multitude of “workers” looking for “remains” in the Photoshop environment.

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

These classic "photos of giants" are now literally circulating from one yellow site to another, via email, blogs and forums to excite the imagination of the ignorant man in the street.

Many do not doubt the authenticity of the images. In fact, the "giant skeleton" is not a photograph of a real discovery. However, observations suggest that the high quality of the fake images, coupled with the vaguely plausible explanations that accompany them, is apparently sufficient to convince many recipients. that the “discoveries” are genuine.

By the way, IronKite’s work was even shown on YouTube. The video's creator is using IronKite's giant skeleton, along with other dubious images, as "proof" that giants once lived on Earth. The well-documented image deception, in addition to the number of logical flaws, has caused the episode to be bagged by YouTube users.

Even if you believe that a race of giants existed on Earth, you can be sure that these photographs do not reflect some of their remains. They take their original origins from the Worth1000 competition, and the image's status as a purely fictional "archaeological discovery" is understandable.

Not only do objects cast shadows in different sides so the skeleton does not fit into the panorama of the image at all due to the difference in angles. The skeleton lacks perspective, most likely due to the fact that the source was a photograph of an ordinary skeleton, shot vertically, while the landscape in which it was placed was shot at an angle with perspective.

A giant Atlas skeleton has been found in the ocean again!

1. The color border on the left side of the photo immediately catches your eye. The skeleton is simply pasted onto a background with a coral reef.

2. The lower right part of the school of fish is translucent - this indicates a low professional level of the photoshopper. Instead of carefully cutting out the fish onto a new layer, he applied feathering and reduced the layer's opacity.

3. And as always, symmetry violations. The size of the skull is disproportionate to the size of the femurs. Apparently, to emphasize the size of the skeleton, the skull was enlarged.

A seasoned photoshopper who knows his job worked here. He burned himself out of ignorance of the anatomy of the human body. The vertebrae are too large for the size of the skull.

The edges of a black and white image of a skeleton pasted into the pit can be clearly seen. In addition, the quality of the source image with skeletons is much worse than the main image, this is especially noticeable when enlarging

Verdict: a good craft in Photoshop.

Allegedly, various finds of giant skulls, which themselves are very mediocre fakes, when compared with images, provide more information

This is the same normal size skull, if we take both skulls and compare them as shown in the picture, we will see that they are identical. Even if we imagine for a second that these are the same excavations, then why did the skull change its size by 3 times? .

On the left in the photograph, the skull is larger than the sitting person, and if we take into account that the person is closer to us than the skull, then in reality the skull would be even larger.
On the right we also see a skull, but this time it is significantly smaller than a sitting person, while the skull is in the foreground, if it is placed next to a person it will be 2 times smaller.

In the left picture, the skull literally sank into the plane of the earth; the frame hanging in the air is no less smiling. Besides, where has it been seen that unique finds are literally trampled under boots?

Verdict: not the best fakes of a giant, using an ordinary skull.

Considering the various options for fake giants, I became curious if I could repeat something similar using only the most basic skills in the graphics program Adobe Photoshop. I decided to create several similar images.

As you can see, creating something like this is not difficult

Note: “Photos of giants” floating around the Internet are distinguished by their individuality. You won't find a "photo of a giant's skeleton" taken several times from different angles. Single images everywhere. I can’t believe that such a unique find was taken only once from one position. This once again confirms the individuality of the work on producing “photographs of giants.” The creators from the site Worth1000.com simply did not have the goal of misleading the public, so each of them limited themselves to a single work. It is not surprising that the network does not have diverse images of at least one giant, “shot” from different angles. Moreover, creating such an image is much more difficult.

Another fact is not in favor of the giants. Giant human bones are not exhibited in any museum in the world. But enthusiasts led by historian Michael Baigent, author of the acclaimed book “Forbidden Archaeology,” blame representatives of traditional science for this. They say they hid unique finds on purpose. Move away from sin. Because otherwise we would have to change our views on evolution, and on the entire history of mankind.

The entire absurdity of this “argument” can be realized after reading the article
Pseudoscience as it is

Often from parascientific works one can learn about certain “forbidden” discoveries that pose a threat to established ideas and are therefore hidden from the public.
Without exception, all such messages are fiction. A researcher who stumbles upon something truly remarkable will strive to report his discovery in order to immortalize his name for centuries. If for some reason he delays publication, envious colleagues will certainly not miss the opportunity to attribute the discovery to themselves. Even if the government intervenes, for some reason wanting to hide the truth, then unfriendly states, having found out the secret with the help of their intelligence services, will immediately stop this attempt.

And yet there is something gigantic in museums - teeth. They look almost human, but are 6 times larger than ours. First discovered in 1935 by the Dutch paleontologist Koenigswald in... one of the pharmacies in Hong Kong. According to estimates, their owners should weigh 350-400 kilograms.
Many “giantists” still “show off” these teeth, attributing them to mythical giants - the predecessors of people. However, it is known that in 1956 in South China, in the Guangxi province, archaeologists dug up three huge jaws with exactly the same teeth. And they determined that they belonged to apes - the so-called Gigantopithecus. Yes, these primates were huge - almost four meters tall. Sort of like mini King Kongs. But not by people.

What about myths?

Giant enthusiasts continue to trumpet the former existence of giants; they first of all refer to countless myths. Naturally, it is difficult to find a people who would not have written legends about giants - just listing their national names would take up an entire book page.
What are myths? Here are lines from the Bible: “At that time there were giants on the earth, especially from the time when the sons of God began to come in to the daughters of men, and they began to give birth...”
Elsewhere in the Bible, the “report” of the spies sent by Moses to Palestine is given: “... There we saw giants..., from a giant race; and we were... before them like locusts...”.

Another argument is the strange cyclopean buildings. And the most amazing of them is the Baalbek Terrace in Lebanon, located about a hundred kilometers from Beirut. At its base, archaeologists discovered monolithic stone blocks measuring 21 by 5 by 4 meters. Some weigh 800 tons. And they are fitted so neatly that it is difficult to even insert a needle between the edges. Who else but the giant tilers was able to lay them?

However, according to skeptics, Baalbek is not the best argument in favor of the existence of giants, says anthropologist Andrei Grinevsky. - Yes, no one can yet explain how the 800-ton stone blocks were laid. But it is naive to assume that they were carried by 20-meter giants. With such growth, a maximum of six people can grab the monolith. Total, more than 100 tons “per brother”. Don't lift it.

There are huge footprints - the most famous of them is located in South Africa. It was found by local farmer Stoffel Coetzee at the beginning of the last century. A “left foot print” is imprinted into the almost vertical wall to a depth of approximately 12 centimeters. Its length is 1m 28 centimeters. They claim that it was “inherited” by a man about 10 meters tall. Came here hundreds of millions of years ago, when the rock was soft. Then it froze, turned into granite and stood upright due to geological processes.
In my opinion, the footprint only looks like a human one. But there are no undeniable signs. It could have been left behind by a stone that later fell out. And a dinosaur.

What if giants really lived on Earth?

Excavations indicate that there was a time when giants lived on Earth. And not lizards, but mammals. Some became extinct long ago - during the last ice age. Others - much later - about a thousand years BC. And people could see them
Giant short-faced bear,
living in Alaska and Chukotka, reached almost 5 meters if he stood on his hind legs. By the way, I ran on them at a speed of almost 70 kilometers per hour.

The 5-ton giant sloth was no less fast-moving than the bear.

And beavers and rats grew to the size of the current hippopotamus. In a word, gigantism is not alien to nature. So why should people be an exception?

The answer lies in the very structure and proportions of the human body. If you look at typical representatives of giants (dinosaurs, elephants and others), they all have one thing in common: a horizontal spine, a relatively small head, and the center of mass is concentrated in the lower part of the body.

The legs of a typical mammal support the weight of its body, and as the animal's mass increases, the strength of the support must correspondingly increase. Let us assume that all the linear dimensions of the animal have doubled. The mass of such an enlarged animal will then increase 8 times, i.e., like a cube of linear dimensions, which should affect the strength of the supporting structures. To prevent these structures from collapsing, they cross section should increase in proportion to the eightfold increase in load, but if all dimensions are simply doubled, the cross-sectional area of the bones will only increase by a factor of four. This is clearly not enough, and in order to support eight times the increased weight, the bones must increase disproportionately.

A threefold increase in linear dimensions gives a 27-fold increase in mass, and the cross-sectional area of the bone must be increased by a factor of 27.

Measuring the Ultimate Strength of Mammalian Bone different weights from 0.05 to 700 kg (14,000-fold difference) did not reveal any significant differences (233 ± 53 MN/m2 in small animals and 200 ± 28 in large animals) (Biewener, 1982).

Moreover, the mass of a mammal’s skeleton does not fit into schemes that take into account only gravitational loads. During movement, forces always arise due to acceleration or braking, which twist and bend the skeleton, and its elements must withstand these forces and not break primarily under the influence of bending.

Those. if a person has linear dimensions of 20 meters (i.e. more than 10 times larger than normal), then his volume (and mass) increases 1000 (10 cubed) times, i.e. it weighs about 80 tons (80,000 kg). And this is not compatible with life, because he will simply be crushed (even in a supine position, the chest will collapse) under our gravity.

Thus... Yes, there may be giants, but they will not look like people, and their skeletons will not look like human ones. Let's give another simple example. If a person with a height of 180 cm and a weight of 80 kg is quadrupled to 720 cm, then his weight will be 5120 kg, and bones with such dimensions in human proportions will be optimally adapted only to 1280 kg, that is, the additional mass above the optimal will be 3840 kg (i.e. the area the cross-section of the bones will increase by 16 times, but the body weight will increase by 64 times), the bones simply cannot withstand such an overload, this is equivalent to the fact that a person 180 cm tall and weighing 80 kg, with the same muscles and bones, will hang a load of 240 kg for life, and what will happen to his joints and spine? What I mean is that with gigantic sizes, the cross-section of the bones should be proportionally much larger, depending on the magnification factor. Therefore, if there were human giants, then their skeletons will look completely different from the photoshopped photos from the sites of Photoshop enthusiasts. That's all. Well, the skeletons of giants were actually found - these are dinosaurs that, despite such dimensions, had powerful bones and could not do without a tail, and their center of gravity was completely different, as was the principle of constructing a skeleton for such a mass.

What do giants get sick with?

In ancient times, myths and legends associated high growth with some kind of superpowers, and “giants” have always enjoyed great respect. However, according to doctors, high growth can result in poor health, and this is especially true for women. The tallest woman in the world, Sandy Allen, recently died at the age of just 53 - and she, alas, suffered from many chronic diseases.

American Sandy Allen's height was 2 meters 32 centimeters - that is, three centimeters higher than the famous Chinese basketball player Yao Ming.

She was only slightly inferior to the others tall people in the world - Ukrainian Leonid Stadnik (2 meters 53 centimeters) and Tunisian Radhuan Charbib (2 meters 36 centimeters). The cause of Allen's death is still unknown, but in the hospital where she was, she was given numerous dangerous diagnoses.

Among them are diabetes, susceptibility to infections and renal failure. Besides, it was difficult for her to walk, so last years She spent her life in a wheelchair.

A person is destroyed by gravity - after all, his muscles and bones are simply not adapted for such growth. In such people, the proportions of the skull are disturbed, the feet and hands increase to enormous sizes, the tongue becomes huge - and because of this, giants very often suffer from shortness of breath.

Conclusion

Today, on the Internet, it is not difficult to come across sites full of bright headlines about the discovery of the millennium, about a hidden sensation. Demand creates supply. People believe, to put it mildly, unreliable rumors that excite the imagination. I want secrets, I want riddles, even where there are none. What is surprising is not that there are lovers of sensations, but how many of them there are.

However, if you carefully approach the issue of giants under consideration, carry out an analysis of information and elementary logical calculations, an unambiguous conclusion arises that, for certain reasons, the existence of people of gigantic stature is simply impossible, and it is not surprising that there is no real evidence of the former existence of giants. Just myths, dubious evidence and fraud.
