In the Bible, the Vedas and the myths of various peoples, the race of giants who once inhabited our planet is mentioned. In ancient legends it is said that these were Atlantean giants who relied on their physical strength and challenged higher beings or God. For which the heavens punished this race, wiping it off the face of the Earth. Many "grammatists" who wish to interpret the sacred texts literally have been constantly looking for evidence for these quotations. From time to time, people came across huge vertebrae or fragments of other remains of large prehistoric animals. These findings gave food for speculation, as if they were giant human skeletons.
The adherents of the hypothesis about the extraterrestrial (alien) origin of life on Earth also contributed. But the public's interest in the ancient giants was further fueled by near-scientific publications, which from time to time published articles about supposedly sensational discoveries. In order not to be reputedunfounded, they also published pictures from the find site, which clearly show the skeletons of giant people. The photos showed the resting remains of a well-preserved giant, and next to him were small figures of archaeologists. Based on the average height of modern people, a person looking at such a picture can easily imagine the height of the deceased - about 20 meters.
However, a strange trend is alarming. Despite the various regions in which giant human skeletons were allegedly found - India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Greece, South Africa, Portugal and Kenya - everything followed the same pattern. The remains were stumbled upon by chance, during geological exploration or when laying roads. Immediately, the military came to the excavation site, cordoned off the region and hid the find from the eyes of the general public. Therefore, no other evidence was left in the hands of scientists, except for a picture taken from a helicopter.
At the same time, both articles and photos allegedly confirming the finds multiplied. The giant skeletons of people were either three meters, then eight, then a record 24. In addition, as if there were not enough photographs, clay tablets began to be found at the burial site - sometimes in Sanskrit, then in Arabic - that the giants belong to one or another an ethnic group mentioned in the Vedas or the Bible. The inscriptions, of course, were also confiscated by the evil military, for some reason interested in hiding the historical truth.
Finally National Geographic in 2007 conducted its own investigation of one of the images. It turned out that the background for the excavations, during which giant human skeletons were found, was the archaeological expedition of Cornell University. However, in fact, in the town of Hyde Park, New York State, on September 16, 2000, scientists did not find the remains of an ancient giant, but fragments of the skeleton … of a mastodon that lived 13 thousand years ago.
The author of the "sensational picture" was soon discovered. It turned out to be a certain Iron Kite. Moreover, this person did not want to mislead anyone at all. He simply submitted his photo montage to a graphic design competition run by one of the sites. Moreover, he even received an award there - third place. A variety of Photoshop masters took part in the competition, who presented their works to the jury - from frankly funny to such “almost serious” ones. In 2007, the National Geographic Society issued a statement that no remains of giants have been found, that giant human skeletons are a myth and falsification of esotericists.
