Official science is still distrustful of hypotheses about the existence of gigantic people in the past. However, numerous studies by enthusiasts may well change the usual picture of the history of mankind.

Mysterious remains

Traces of the existence of giant people have been discovered repeatedly over the centuries. Messages about found skulls or bones of abnormally large sizes came from different parts of the planet - the USA, Egypt, Armenia, China, India, Mongolia, Australia and even islands Pacific Ocean. True, now you will not surprise anyone with a human height of over two meters. As photographs show, in the 19th century there were people whose height significantly exceeded two meters.

but we are talking about the findings, which can be used to judge the much more impressive dimensions of humanoid individuals. In 1911, near Lovelock in the US state of Nevada, guano mining was suspended, as scientists were interested in the found human skeletons with a height of 3.5 meters.

Archaeologists were especially struck by the jaw discovered away from the full skeletons: its size was at least three times the jaw of an average person.
During the extraction of jasper in Australia, the remains of giant people were also found, significantly exceeding three meters in height. But the real sensation was a human tooth 67 millimeters high and 42 millimeters wide. Its owner had to be at least 6 meters tall.

Perhaps the most striking find was discovered by the Indian military. Found in a remote area of ​​​​India "Empty Quarter" well-preserved skeletons reached a height of 12 meters! However, the place was immediately closed from prying eyes, allowing only a team of archaeologists to visit the ancient burial grounds.

Written sources

Information about giant people is contained in almost all known ancient texts - the Torah, the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas, as well as Chinese and Tibetan chronicles, Assyrian cuneiform tablets and Mayan writings.

In the book of the prophet Isaiah, there is a mention of how the Jews were sent by sea "to a strong and vigorous people, to a terrible people from the beginning to the present, to a tall and trampling people, whose land is cut by rivers."

But similar information is also found in later sources claiming historical authenticity. The Arab diplomat Ahmed ibn Fodlan in 922 described the remains of the murdered giant during his embassy to Volga Bulgaria: “And here I am near this man, and I see growth in him, measuring twelve cubits with my elbow. And now he has a head - the biggest cauldron that ever happens. And the nose is more than a quarter, both eyes are huge, and the fingers are each more than a quarter.

If we assume that the elbow of the Arab traveler was modest in size, then the growth of the giant was in no way lower than 4 meters.
Interestingly, the story of Fodlan is indirectly confirmed by local legends about a whole tribe of giants, recorded at the end of the 18th century by Russian explorers of the Volga basin.

stone artifacts

Silent witnesses of the existence of giant people can be traces of their material culture. During excavations in Australia near the gigantic remains, impressive stone tools were found - plows, chisels, knives, clubs and axes, whose weight ranged from 4 to 9 kilograms.

Similar finds were made during excavations of ancient settlements in the Okavango Delta. In the collection of the US Historical Society, a bronze ax is exhibited, the height of which exceeds 1 meter, and the length of the blade is half a meter. The weight of the find is 150 kilograms. A modern athlete would hardly have mastered such a tool.
Even more revealing artifacts indicating the possible presence of giants on our planet can serve as megalithic structures - we can find them on various continents. Of particular interest to scientists is the Lebanese Baalbek, which can only be called a city of giants. At least, researchers still cannot scientifically explain the appearance of stone slabs perfectly fitted to each other, weighing presumably up to 800 tons each.

Fake!

Between supporters and opponents of the existence of meganthropes in Lately a serious controversy unfolded, which does not accept compromises. So the anthropologist Maria Mednikova calls the information about the discovery of the bones of four-meter people an ordinary fake.

“From a formal point of view,” the scientist says, “it is not confirmed by documented archaeological excavations, there are no conclusions of specialists – anthropologists or forensic doctors – that could reasonably state what these bones are.”

Cases of outright falsification also cause a negative reaction from the scientific community. Thus, the "skeleton of the giant Teutoboch" - the king of the Cimbri, which stood for several centuries in the French Museum of Natural History, turned out to be a fake skillfully composed of the bones of a mastodon. Revelations of modern finds are not uncommon when carefully examined, they turn out to be the remains of large mammals. Also, the “defenders of the giants” are discredited by the cases of photoshop that have become noticeably more frequent recently.

Habitat

The weak point of the theory of meganthropes is the current terrestrial conditions. Official science assures that with the current atmospheric pressure, oxygen level, gravity and other nuances, people with a height of over 3 meters simply would not have survived for purely biological reasons.

As confirmation of this, they cite as an example people suffering from gigantism - such people, as a rule, do not live for more than 40 years. However, their opponents have counterarguments. They believe that in the distant past, conditions on Earth were different, including gravity was lower and oxygen levels were about 50% higher.

The last figure is confirmed by the analysis of air bubbles "locked" in amber. Moreover, modern physicists have simulated conditions in which the force of gravity has become an order of magnitude lower than it is now. The conclusions are as follows: weak gravity, low atmospheric pressure and high oxygen content in the air contribute to the gigantization of biological species.

Here, official science does not particularly object - dinosaurs up to 30 meters high are a generally accepted fact. True, there is one more "but". The age of most machines of giant people is dated to millions of years, and during this time even the bones turn to dust, unless, of course, they are petrified.

"Borjomi Giants"

However, perhaps the giants lived not so long ago. The representative of the same official science, Georgian academician Abesalom Vekua, suggested that 3-meter people inhabited the Borjomi Gorge about 25 thousand years ago. The results of recent findings, in his opinion, could be sensational. “Pay attention to the femur,” the scientist says, “it differs from the bone of a modern person in its size and thickness. The skull is also much larger. These people lived and developed separately from the rest of civilization, and therefore differed in growth. In the scientific literature, they are referred to as giants, but there was no documentary evidence for this hypothesis. Thus, we stand on the threshold of a sensation. But this will be preceded by painstaking work.

With the advent of digital photography and video filming, the development of the Internet and telecommunications technologies, a stormy flow of information has poured into the average layman, including undermining modern scientific ideas about the structure of the world.

One of the main sensations, radically changing the theory of the origin of man, was the discovery of numerous skeletons of giants around the world. And now, on one site, then on another, surprised users began to find photos of multi-meter skeletons and huge skulls. At the same time, official science immediately renounced such artifacts, declaring them fake and reasonably stating that, they say, there are no skeletons themselves - there is no dialogue on a similar topic. Since then, for many years, there has been a secret war between supporters forbidden archeology and adherents of official scientific schools. Meanwhile, there is no need to dig deep and go on expensive expeditions - after all, the skeletons of giants have long been collecting dust in museums around the world! True, this information is not advertised, and the exhibits themselves periodically become the prey of thieves or victims of vandals.

MYSTERY OF NEVADA

The history of one of the most famous finds, indicating the existence of a race of giants, occurred in 1877 in the United States. That day, near the town of Evreki, Nevada, prospectors working on a gold pan, accidentally saw strange white bones appearing from the ground. When the workers climbed the rock to inspect the find, they were literally amazed - they saw a part of the foot and a shin with a patella of an ancient man. But the most surprising thing was that the doctors, who later examined the bones, stated that the owner of this limb during his lifetime should have been at least three meters sixty centimeters tall! Geologists affirmatively stated that the age of the rock in which the bone was found is 185 million years! When the news about the amazing find reached the researchers, they interviewed the local Indian population: are there any legends about the giants who once lived in these places in their folklore?

It turned out that such legends exist! They were preserved by the Paiute Indians. The epic of this tribe claims that once in ancient times, tribes of red-haired giants 2.5 to 4 meters tall actually lived on the territory of modern Nevada. The giants were strong and cruel, but not numerous, which allowed the Indians to kill almost all the giants during the bloody war, and force the rest to leave to live in Lovelock Cave near the city of the same name. Amazingly, in 1911, mummified remains of people more than two and a half meters tall were indeed discovered in this cave, but scientists, without motivating their decision, refused to explore them. True, a certain local resident nevertheless transferred some of the mummies to his barn, but it burned down! It would seem that the story of the lost artifacts, like many others like it, should have ended there. But no! One of the skulls found in the cave, about 30 centimeters tall, and some of the other bones ended up in the Humboldt Museum in Winemuka, Nevada. Another part of the mummified exhibits went to the Museum of the Nevada Historical Society in Reno.

GIANTS OF PERU

Strange enough in the light of the existing findings, official science looks like it simply tries not to notice them. Not surprisingly, many unique artifacts related to the race of giants are often lost, burned or destroyed in the most mysterious way. At the same time, there is a place on Earth where information about ancient people giants are not something that is not destroyed, but, on the contrary, is a national pride. This is Peru, the country with the most museums displaying the remains of giants. In the capital of Peru - Lima, in the Gold Museum, any of the tourists can freely see the royal robe, sewn for a person whose height should have been a little more than three meters.

A giant's skull is also stored there, several times larger than a human one, two skeletons of huge people and a lot of robes that would fit only giants. But the main thing is that in Peru such museum exhibits are not at all uncommon, they can be found almost everywhere. The age of the giant skeletons presented in Peruvian museums is only a few hundred years. And this clearly indicates that the race of giants lived on Earth quite recently and, of course, intersected with modern humanity.

AND THE GIANT IS NOT REAL!

An amazing find was made in 1613 near Chamont Castle in France. The opened ancient tomb contained the bones of a man whose height was more than seven and a half meters. Along with the skeleton, a lot of household utensils and ancient coins lay in the grave, and the wall above the burial was decorated with a Gothic inscription: "King Tentobohtus rests here." For a long time it was believed that the ashes found belonged to the king of the Germanic tribe, who, together with the Teutons, invaded France in the 2nd century. n. e.

The unique skeleton was transferred with due honors to the Museum of Natural History, where it lay until the 19th century, when the famous naturalist Georges Leopold Cuvier discovered that the skeleton was not real! A meticulous scientist, having examined each bone, found out that they all do not belong to a person, but to various large prehistoric animals: a mastodon and a giant elephant. However, the version of a double forgery is not ruled out. The 19th century is a time of major naturalistic research and the triumph of the theory of evolution. Therefore, it is likely that the remains of the German king were simply skillfully discredited.

OPEN-AIR MUSEUM

Often there are cases when the authorities or the scientific community seem to want to hide an amazing find, but due to objective reasons, this is simply impossible to do. Examples include the case in Sri Lanka. In this state, there is Mount Adama with a height of 2,240 meters, revered by adherents of the four largest religions in the world. The fact is that at the top of the mountain formation, in the rock, to the top of which you can climb 5,000 steep steps, there is a rock human footprint.

It would seem that this is unusual? But the point is that researchers Old Testament located near this mountain paradise! The foot of a man, pressed into the rock, according to believing Muslims and Christians, is the footprint of the first man Adam. The footprint is 160 cm long and 75 cm wide. It is noteworthy that Marco Polo also believed that the grave of the first person was located on this mountain. Hindus have a different opinion about whose footprint is sunk in the rock: in their opinion, Shiva visited here. And Buddhists believe that the footprint belongs to the Buddha.

FIVE METER TURKS

The Asian region did not stand aside either. In the 1950s, in Turkey, during the construction of a road near the Euphrates, workers discovered the burial places of giant people. Joe Taylor, director of the Texas State Fossil Museum, managed to buy back some of the bones. After serious research work, he established from a hip bone 120 centimeters wide that during his lifetime, its owner had to have a height of at least five meters and a foot length of half a meter.

In Ireland, almost late XIX century, the mummy of a six-fingered giant was known to be about four meters tall. Moreover, for a long time, anyone could not only look at her, but even take a picture with the curiosity, since the mummy was regularly shown to the public at exhibitions in Dublin, Liverpool and Manchester. She later disappeared, but a high-quality photograph of her was preserved, which was published at the end of 1895 in Great Britain.

So, being in Peru, Sri Lanka or the USA, any of our readers will be able to see for themselves that human history is not at all the same as it is taught in modern educational institutions. And if the existence of giants turned out to be a reality, then it is possible that mermaids, gnomes or dragons also once lived on Earth, and one day archaeologists will confirm their existence.

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 108-94 million years, you can see how tenacious myths are. And also to understand why they are often provided with 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: easier explanation the more they believe him.

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.

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". No wonder time fell into the number of philosophical categories, extremely general concepts, no longer amenable to formal definitions. What they write about categories in explanatory dictionaries, encyclopedias - 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.

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.

Supreme Court The United States has ordered the release to the Smithsonian of classified documents dating back to the early 1900s proving that the organization was involved in a major historical cover-up of evidence showing that gigantic human remains numbering in the tens of thousands were found across America and destroyed on the orders of senior leaders to protect the mainstream. chronology of human evolution that existed at that time.

Suspicions from the American Institute for Alternative Archeology (AIAA) that the Smithsonian Institution had destroyed thousands of giant human remains were taken aback by the organization, which responded by suing the AIAA for defamation and attempted to damage the reputation of the 168-year-old institution.
New details surfaced during the trial when a number of Smithsonian insiders acknowledged the existence of documents that supposedly prove the destruction of tens of thousands of human skeletons ranging in size from 6 to 12 feet tall, according to AIAA spokesman James Charward. ; 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 gigantic human bones. This evidence blew a hole in the defense of the institute's lawyers, as the bone was stolen from the organization by a high-ranking curator in the mid-1930s, who kept it all his life and wrote a written confession on his deathbed about the cover-up operations of the Smithsonian Institution.

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

The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered the Institute to release classified information about anything related to 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.

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 of skeletons of people of abnormally tall stature.

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 above the average height of the Aboriginal Indians. The latter did not make these burials and could not provide any information about them. In 1885, in Gusterville (Pennsylvania), a stone crypt was discovered in a large grave mound, in which there was a skeleton 215 centimeters high. Primitive images of people, birds and animals were carved on the walls of the crypt.
In 1899, miners in the Ruhr region in Germany discovered fossilized skeletons of people ranging in height from 210 to 240 centimeters.

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

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 deposits, 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 megantropus, excavated at a depth of up to three meters from the surface of the earth. Australian researchers found, among other things, a petrified molar 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. The owner of the tooth had to be at least 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kilograms! Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the finds, amounting to nine million years.

In 1971, in Queensland, farmer Stephen Walker, while plowing his field, came across a large fragment of a jaw with teeth five centimeters high. In 1979, in Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains, locals found a huge stone protruding above the surface of the stream, on which one could see the imprint of part of a huge foot with five fingers. The transverse size of the fingers was 17 centimeters. If the print had been preserved in its entirety, it would have been 60 cm long. It follows that the imprint was left by a man of six meters in height.

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

Other evidence of giants

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

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 was knee-joint and completely preserved 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 1960s American show Tonight, once shared with the public a curious story about a letter he received from a certain Alan McShir. The author of the letter in 1950 worked as a bulldozer operator on the construction of a road in Alaska. He reported that the workers found two huge fossilized skulls, vertebrae and leg bones in one of the grave mounds. The skulls were 58 cm high and 30 cm wide. The ancient giants had a double row of teeth and disproportionately flat heads. Each skull had a neat round hole in the upper part. North America. The vertebrae, as well as the skulls, were three times larger than those of modern 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 to find the last refuges of our distant ancestors or traces of their economic activity do not stop.

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 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 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 very large sizes, almost per 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, 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 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 discovered tibia or the hip bone, when I applied it to my leg, was much longer.”

Human bone found at excavations in Armenia. Shot from the film "City of Giants". Although human growth, according to the authors, reached 2 meters, it still did not reach the “giant”
Movses Khorenatsi (representative of Armenian feudal historiography, lived in the 5th-early 6th centuries) wrote that the cities of the giants were also located in the gorge of the Vorotan River. This is the Syunik region, located in the southeast of Armenia. Here in the mountain village of Khot in 1968 they built a monument to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. When the top of the mound was leveled, ancient tombs with unusual remains were opened. 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 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 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.
archeologyA 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.

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

Many legends of the world tell about giants, giants, titans in all ancient written sources. We are often informed about the finds in different parts of the globe of the skeletons of people of abnormal growth. So maybe our ancestors were giants?


Burials of the Stone Age have been discovered in the Sahara desert. The age of the remains is approximately 5000 years. In 2005-2006, about 200 graves were found. All of them were distinguished by high growth, more than two meters.

Giant fossils have been found in Turkey. The human leg bone is 120 cm long. Based on this, the human height should have been 5 meters.

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

Anthropologists found a petrified tooth 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. According to estimates, the owner of the tooth had to be 7.5 meters tall and weigh 370 kg. Analyzes determined the age of the find - 9 million years

A jaw was found in one of the caves. But despite the resemblance to a human, the size of the found bone seems abnormally large.

It is assumed that all the main monuments of antiquity (Egyptian pyramids, stonehenge, sphinx) were built by these giants. According to scientists, the giants are the race that preceded us (not to be confused with the current concept that characterizes belonging to a particular nationality). They took possession of psychic energy and "life force" unusual for us.

The Aryan race appeared in the bowels of the Atlantean civilization about 1 million years ago. All modern earthlings are called Aryans. The early Aryans had a height of 3-4 meters, then the growth decreased

Anthropologists have even found drawings on Inca stones. They were found in Peru. And these drawings show that humans lived with dinosaurs. Comparing these figures, the scientists found amazing fact: man and dinosaur have roughly similar proportions! Perhaps in the era of dinosaurs, giant people lived. And a man in the mouth of a dinosaur, and a dinosaur with a severed head ... a dinosaur
