Do scientists really hide the most important and sensational discoveries and discoveries from the world community? Does it make sense for archaeologists and other scientists to hide the results of their research? In this video, anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevsky reveals the whole truth and tells whether the mysterious finds of archaeologists are really hiding from us and what false sensations can be found in archaeological practice.

On the example of the story about these supposedly human footprints that remained next to the paw prints of dinosaurs and whose age is approximately equal to 108-94 million years, you can see how tenacious myths are. And also to understand why they are often provided with a long and happy life. As always, this mythological longevity is based on one of the fundamental properties of the human psyche, which can be briefly formulated as follows: the simpler the explanation, the more they believe it.

In popular science articles on archeology, geology, paleontology, evolutionary biology and other disciplines, one way or another connected with the reconstruction of events of the distant past, absolute dates are found every now and then: something happened 10 thousand years ago, something 10 million, and something - 4 billion years ago. Where do these numbers come from?

To date, archaeologists have established that the oldest people who created primitive tools of the Oldowan type, no later than 1.8 million years ago. were able to go beyond Africa and then began to populate Eurasia and reached the South Caucasus. In the same period, more developed hominids formed in Africa, making hand axes and various other tools (Acheulean culture). Until recently, all data indicated that they left Africa much later, and only about 600 thousand years penetrated into the Caucasus. back, which surprised scientists and required explanation. However, recent discoveries by Russian archaeologists in Armenia have shown that the creators of the Acheulean industries came to the Caucasus more than a million years earlier than was thought. This forces us to reconsider the previous scenario of the initial settlement of Eurasia. One of its authors, archaeologist Elena Belyaeva, will tell about the history of primitive people and this discovery.

What are Paleolithic Venuses? When did these figurines appear in the history of mankind and what is the area of their distribution? What artistic characteristics do they have? What significance could Paleolithic Venus have for Stone Age people? Anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevsky tells.

There are many words that are in the language every now and then, but the meaning of which, if you think about it properly, is given with particular difficulty, and when people reach it, a common understanding is not obtained. That is the word "time". It is not for nothing that time has become one of the philosophical categories, extremely general concepts that are no longer amenable to formal definitions. What they write about categories in explanatory dictionaries, encyclopedias is not definitions, but some general explanations, thanks to which a person can understand what is at stake. In general, the meaning of the category is revealed not by definitions, but by gradually introducing the reader into their entire system with examples, by referring to the history of philosophical thought. However, each category is matter, space, time, existence, cause, movement, and so on. - the source of endless discussions.

What methods of anthropological research are used by specialists when working with finds? How do scientists know what they tell us? How can anthropology confirm that evolutionary paths followed this way and not otherwise? What set of methods is used to study the find? Does the researcher from Argentina have access to the work of the researcher from Japan? What don't scientists really hide? What are the main methods of anthropology? About this in a lecture by Stanislav Drobyshevsky.

The dispute about the biogenic (organic) or abiogenic origin of oil is of particular interest to the Russian reader. Firstly, hydrocarbon raw materials are one of the main sources of income in the country's budget, and secondly, Russian scientists are recognized leaders in many areas in this old, but still not closed, scientific dispute.

What can paleopathology tell about ancient man? What data can we use to reconstruct the way of life of Stone Age people? What do not only critical injuries of the skeleton indicate, but also changes in the joints, the skeletal system? How does paleopathology answer the question of how our ancestors lived, how they moved and how long they lived? Anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevsky tells what discoveries can be made by studying the skeleton or individual bones. You will learn why it is necessary to study the bones of a Stone Age human and what prospects paleopathology opens up in anthropology.

Do you know what methods of dating archaeological finds are used? In this video you will learn what dating methods are used in archeology, what they are based on and what is their effectiveness. Our wonderful lecturer - Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Technical Physics of the Faculty of Physics of the Southern Federal University Vyacheslav Sergeevich Malyshevsky - will talk about what constitutes a radiocarbon dating method, potassium-argon, the track method - about this and much more in this video.

This is confirmed by the finds of archaeologists - ancient written evidence, structures of amazingly huge sizes that have survived to our time, cyclopean ruins all over the world and colossal boulders. These buildings and processed stones of incredible size are simply incompatible with the physical capabilities of a person of our time.

Science does not give us a clear and intelligible explanation of how such huge structures could be built. Probably the easiest way to explain this phenomenon is that in ancient times there were giant creatures that erected statues in accordance with their height. Otherwise, how could such giant sculptures and architectural structures appear? Where did the grandiose Karnak, the famous Stonehenge and the so-called "hanging" stones in Solisbury come from? And who created the seids and cyclopean ruins on the Kola Peninsula, the huge statues of pharaohs, the mysterious Sphinx, the incredible Egyptian and South American pyramids? There are many, many such examples.

For example, at the very base of the Baalbek terrace, which is located in Lebanon, there are 3 blocks, each weighing 800 tons. These blocks are fitted to each other with incredible precision, down to tiny fractions of a millimeter, and this is simply an impossible task even for modern building technologies. And in order to move just one such bloc just a little, it would be necessary to attract forty thousand people for a simultaneous effort.

Back in the 19th century, it was mentioned that archaeologists and ordinary residents found huge human remains. And today we are often informed about the finds in different parts of the globe of the skeletons of people of abnormal growth.

So, in 1821, in the state of Tennessee, in the USA, the ruins of an ancient stone wall were found, under which there were two human skeletons; their height reached 2.15 meters. And in Wisconsin, in 1879, during the construction of a granary, workers found enormous skull bones and vertebrae.

In 1877, in the state of Nevada, near the town of Evreki, in a hilly and desert area, gold miners accidentally saw the bones of a man’s lower leg and foot, darkened from old age, ingrown into the rock. The remains were taken to the city, where paleontologists measured the length of the bones from foot to knee. It turned out to be about 97 centimeters, which suggests that a person with limbs of this size was 3 meters tall! And the age of the quartzite where the bone was found is about 185 million years.
Similar finds have also been made on other continents, in various parts of the world. In Egypt, in 1890, archaeologists found a stone sarcophagus. It contained a clay coffin with a two-meter mummy of a woman with a small child.

In Australia in 1930, near Basarst, on the development of jasper, prospectors quite often found fossilized prints of giant human feet. Anthropologists have named a race of giant humans whose remains were found in Australia the Meganthropus. The growth of people of this race ranged from 2.1 to 3.65 meters.

In Central Africa, in 1936, German anthropologist and paleontologist Larson Kohl discovered the skeletons of gigantic humans near Lake Elisey. A dozen men were buried in a common grave. The growth of these men reached 3.75 meters.

During the study in 1985 of the same area, an anthropological expedition conducted excavations at a depth of about 3 meters from the surface of the earth. Researchers from Australia have discovered a fossilized molar among a variety of remains. Its height was 6.7, and its width was 4.2 centimeters. The owner of a tooth of this size had a height of at least 7.5 meters and a weight of 370 kilograms. The age of the fossils was 9 million years.

Eyewitnesses still live in some regions of Armenia, who claim that quite often ancient human remains were discovered by the ordinary population, which were several times larger than the usual size of a person.

A very interesting find was made by archaeologists in Georgia, in the mountains of the Borjomi Gorge. Huge human bones were found here, their age was 25 thousand years. In all respects, it can be argued that the growth of these giant people could reach 2.5-3 meters.

In the mountains of Eastern Georgia, in 2000, two travelers found a cave in which they found skeletons up to four meters in size. Near one of the skeletons was an unusual huge stiletto made of an unknown metal.

There is also evidence that during the Second World War in Poland, during the burial of the executed, a petrified skull was found, whose height was 55 centimeters, which is almost three times the size of the skull of a modern person. The giant who owned the found skull had very proportional features and was at least 3.5 meters tall.

In early 2007, almost the entire world was shocked by what British paleontologists had found in the Gobi desert. The skeleton of a man was found here, whose height was approximately 15 m (!). The rock in which scientists found fossilized remains is 45 million years old.

Of all the above facts, it seems that the footprints of giant people are by no means fiction, because there is evidence of their existence in almost all parts of the world. Naturally, if we consider each find or message separately, then they will seem like fiction, a riddle or a miracle. However, if all the facts and information are put together, a completely different picture opens up. Perhaps it is worth studying all this information, making scientific conclusions and generalizations?

Smithsonian Institution (a research and educational institute founded by the US Congress and its museum complex) 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 tens of thousands of gigantic human remains were found across America and destroyed on the orders of high-ranking officials for defending the prevailing theory of human evolution according to Darwin.

Suspicions from the American Institute for Alternative Archaeology (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. ; approx. mixednews), 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 that 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 the “destruction of evidence relating to pre-European culture,” as well as elements “associated with larger-than-usual human skeletons.”

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

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 features of the face and the addition 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.

Australian finds

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 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 meganthropus, 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.

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.

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 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)."

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.

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 well-known zoologist and frequent guest on the popular American show Tonight in the 60s, 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.

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. And, although not all anthropologists and archaeologists believe that we are talking about a whole race of giants, and not about single tall specimens, attempts do not stop to discover the last refuges of our distant ancestors or traces of their economic activity.

So, during the scientific and practical expedition that took place in 2011, a number of evidence was collected, from which it followed that rather large 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 autumn (2010) and 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 found 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. That was his size. The lower leg was higher than my lower back, it was about 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 whole body there was a layer of rust left from 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 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 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 opened. The already mentioned 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 apparently was their cemetery, and this place should be explored.

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.

Sometimes there are also finds of mammoth skulls, which, due to their structure, are often mistaken 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 pour concrete again and put a beam. When the concrete was broken, a flat stone was found under it, and a hole was found under the stone. “And in the pit they found a skull, one-eyed, the eye was on the forehead, the 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 got it out of the pit. My husband was advised to take the find to the museum. He took the skull, I don’t know if he took the rest or not.” This suggests that the bones of mammoths or other animals may have been confused with human bones.

A scandal is also connected with the quoted film "City of Giants", so the leading researcher of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of History, Ph.D. Maria Borisovna Mednikova addressed an open letter to the Kultura TV channel and stated that her words were misrepresented in the film, since she is an opponent of 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 "alpine 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.

The finds of human skeletons significantly exceeding the size that modern science can imagine does not mean that it was a whole race, it may be more correct to talk about only some of its representatives, endowed with divine properties during their lifetime, and buried in special stone burials with more honors than their compatriots, who have not been touched by the hand of all the genetic advantages of the “alpine type”?

Many times on the Internet there were photographs of huge human skeletons found in various places on the planet. It was argued that these were real finds of archaeologists, and they caused shock to all people who saw these images, because along with simple curiosity and a share of fear, the question arose: “Who were these people, and how to fit their existence into the already familiar model of the world, inspired by to everyone from childhood?

Mentions of the largest skeletons

A photo of the largest human skeleton in the world appeared on the Internet in the early 2000s. However, these are not the first finds of this size.

Since ancient times, fragments of the skeletons of huge people have been discovered in various countries.

The first records of this date from around the 2nd century. The historian Pausanias in his works described the skeleton of a man whose height exceeded 5 m. He was found on the territory of Syria.

About 10 centuries ago, the Arab traveler Ibn Fadlan recorded in his travel notes that the subjects of the Khazar king showed him a skeleton that was about 6 m in height.

Bones of the same huge size were seen in Switzerland in the city of Lucerne by Russian writers Korolenko and Turgenev. Museum workers explained to them that this find was made by the doctor F. Platner, who discovered them in one of the mountain caves in the second half of the 16th century.

Giants were also mentioned in Russian chronicles. It says that during the battle on the Kulikovo field, a giant over 4 meters tall fought for the nomads.

During the conquest of America, one of the Spanish conquistadors discovered a huge skeleton (about 12 m) in one of the Aztec temples and sent it as a gift to the Pope. This is not all mention of amazing finds. There are also more modern ones. In the 19th century, an American archaeologist named Whitney examined a 2 m skull. One can only imagine how tall its owner was.

In the modern world, from time to time, information about shocking finds appears on the network, however, it is quickly refuted and classified, preventing it from getting into the “masses”. Moreover, huge skeletons are found in various countries and corners of the world, even at the bottom of the ocean. Of the relatively recent finds, these are huge skeletons found in Yakutia, India, Pakistan, Africa, etc.

Truth or fiction?

For more than a year, disputes have been going on about how true the pictures of giant skeletons are, and whether there is reason to believe that our planet was inhabited in ancient times by huge giants.

The authenticity of most of the photographs has been debunked as they have been subjected to extensive scrutiny and analysis. It turned out that the masters of Photoshop and other similar programs just decided to play a trick and create another "duck" to attract public attention. However, everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.

Even after the fake photos were officially announced, some still do not believe that this is a falsification. There are a number of reasons for this:

Firstly, it has not yet been established who built many such huge structures as the pyramids, Kornak, Stonehenge and others. They consist of huge stone blocks that even modern machines cannot lift. There is a version that it was the giants who were engaged in such buildings, which is why they are so massive.

Secondly, too much evidence is given in various old documents and books in which historians, archaeologists, travelers describe huge human skeletons they saw with their own eyes. There are also many other facts that speak for themselves.

Evidence for the existence of giants

In 79 of the last century, in the Blue Mountains, several local residents discovered a piece of stone, on which part of the imprint of a huge foot was clearly visible. Scientists calculated that if the footprint had been completely preserved, its length would be about 60 cm. This suggests that a person with a height of about 6 m could have left it.

Renowned zoologist Ivan Sanderson told a story that Alan McShir, a former bulldozer operator, shared with him. He said that in the middle of the last century he worked in Alaska and somehow discovered several huge skulls, the height of which was almost 60 cm, as well as huge bones of the lower leg, their length was from 1.5 to 1.8 m.

One of the adobe tablets made back in the days of ancient Babylon says that the priests received their knowledge of astronomy from giants over 4 meters tall and living in South Asia.

Also, the natives in South Africa have a legend that says that there lived huge people with incredible strength. They knew how to block the flow of rivers. They could walk hundreds of kilometers a day and brought dead hippos and elephants on their own shoulders.

And this is not all the facts that can be cited in support of the real existence of giants in antiquity.

The last really proven giant

However, at the moment there is reliable evidence of only one really existing giant. In 1905, Jean Rostand, a famous biologist from France, wrote in his work that he saw a huge man perform in Paris. His height was 2 m 85 cm, the length of his palm was 32 cm, and his feet were 51 cm. He weighed 182 kg. As it turned out later, such a person really existed. His last name was Fyodor Makhnov, and he was from Belarus. He possessed simply inhuman strength, and raising a village bath was not a problem for him. He died from a common cold. Most likely, the largest human skeleton in the world belongs to Makhnov, since all modern giants simply do not reach him, and even one of the tallest people in the world is 10 cm lower than Makhnov.

It is difficult to say unequivocally whether large human skeletons actually exist. It is possible that the existence of giants in antiquity is just a fantasy and a desire to rewrite the history of the emergence of people on the planet. Everyone has the right to believe what they want, and only scientists and archaeologists who have excavated and seen everything with their own eyes know the truth.

Recently, archaeologists have discovered in the Kuban the remains of ancient people of gigantic growth. They were buried about 4,000 years ago... We are talking about the phenomenon of giant people who lived in the Caucasus and other anomalous phenomena with Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the Kosmopoisk research public association. "Grave of the Giants" - What other anomalous phenomena was marked this year? - Firstly, our expedition visited a man who was struck by ball lightning 5 times. He lives in the Krasnodar Territory, in Ust-Labinsk. We went to see him right after the fifth "attack" of lightning. They took the T-shirt in which he was at the moment of impact. It is burned, the edges of the hole are melted,
and we hope that fragments of the substance of which ball lightning is composed remained there. We are going to study it in the laboratory.

Secondly,
we were in Ingushetia, where, after a mountain collapse, a cave was opened, which
the locals call it the cave of the genies. It must be said that for many
Muslims are very real entities, they believe in them. To this cave
they are afraid to come at night: people there begin to behave inappropriately,
for some reason they take off their pants, feel themselves suspended by their legs, etc.
after the collapse of the rock, riot police visited this place, climbed inside,
but they suddenly became afraid. They got out and threw grenades into the cave. TO
Unfortunately (or fortunately), we did not find the genies in the cave (laughs).

- you a few years ago
discovered in the Caucasus "grave of giants". Have you been able to explore it? How
once recently there was a message that in the Kuban, archaeologists stumbled upon
burials of very tall people.

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

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

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

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

giant people
nevertheless existed, and direct evidence of this is the skeletons,
found in the Meshoko cave. A huge grave was discovered by a local
population, which was immediately reported to the authorities. Archaeologists who arrived
to the place of discovery, confirmed that the bones really belong
Homo sapiens. Previously, the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks, but
the recent collapse in the mountains opened to mankind a large archaeological
riddle.

On March 29, experts cleared the remains of the giants a little and already said
their exact height. Its performance ranges from 3.5 to 4 meters. But it's still
Not all! The corresponding growth also suggested the presence of a huge cranial
boxes. This means giant humans could be a lot smarter.
Einstein and more capable than Leonardo da Vinci.

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

Archaeologists cannot yet give more detailed comments. Skeletons
are now clearing the ground and sent to the laboratory of the Krasnodar
the edges. As WellNews.ru correspondents were told, the find
US scientists are interested. Perhaps some of the skeletons will be shipped
for research in the American state.

Before the flood people were giants

There is irrefutable evidence that giant people lived on Earth. Archaeological finds of different years, found around the world, confirm this fact.

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

Australian finds

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 meganthropus. The growth of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Megantropuses 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 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, 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 60 centimeters long and 17 wide were found. 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

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

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

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

It is also usually noted that the presence of giant monuments does not at all speak in favor of the actual existence of giants. Pyramids and megaliths are certainly impressive, but there is no reason to believe that their creators were of gigantic stature. After all, the cathedral in Strasbourg is also a huge building, but nevertheless it was built by people of quite normal size, they just possessed perfect technology.

And yet there are some very intriguing archaeological discoveries. Archaeologist Burkhalter during excavations in Moravia discovered a stone tool, the dimensions of which exceeded three by four meters, and the weight was equal to three or four pounds! It was quite obviously a used tool, and not at all a symbolic piece of household utensils; it is clear that the presence of a votive ax would no more prove the existence of giants than the discovery of huge statues in an ancient temple. But there is much better evidence: an entire city was found in Tiaguanaco, built for people whose normal height was gigantic - three or four meters.

Let us give the floor to our friend Marcel Moreau: “Humanity keeps in its atavistic memory the memories of these giants of the highest intelligence, descended from the gods, giants who guided and taught people. Humanity remembers paradise, lost from the very beginning, about the initial high initiation, followed by the fall.
