5 meter man. Lemurians are giant people

Recently, archaeologists discovered the remains of ancient people of gigantic stature in the Kuban. They were buried about 4 thousand years ago... We talk about the phenomenon of giant people who lived in the Caucasus and other anomalous phenomena with Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the scientific research public association "Cosmopoisk". “Tomb of the Giants” - What other anomalous phenomena did this year mark? - Firstly, our expedition visited a man who was struck by ball lightning 5 times. He lives in Krasnodar region, in Ust-Labinsk. We went to see him immediately after the fifth lightning “attack”. They took the T-shirt he was wearing at the time of the impact. It is burned through, the edges of the hole are melted,
and we hope that fragments of the substance that makes up ball lightning remain there. We are going to study it in the laboratory.

Secondly,
we were in Ingushetia, where after a mountain collapse a cave opened up, which
local residents called the cave of the genies. I must say 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 suspended by their legs, etc. Immediately
after the rock collapsed, 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 no longer found the genies in the cave (laughs).

- You several years ago
discovered a “grave of giants” in the Caucasus. Were you able to explore it? How
since 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 several years ago
back, is an artificial mound. When looking at
There is no doubt in his mind that this is the grave of a gigantic creature.
The dimensions of the stepped pyramidal mound are comparable to those of Egypt
pyramids, the platform alone at the top is 80 meters long.
It is oriented strictly along the east-west line, which is typical for
many ancient burials. Previously, we probed the hill with a geolocator.
The device showed that there were “foreign” inclusions in the depths. Excavations
have not yet been held, but this year they were not needed: we were invited
on similar place, where a mudflow opened up a stone-lined underground
cavity. This is in Kabardino-Balkaria, near the Georgian border. We
climbed down into the cavity using 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 Caucasian legends about giant ancestors are not
are baseless.

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

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

Giant people
still existed, and direct evidence of this is the skeletons,
found in the Meshoko cave. A huge burial was discovered by local
population, which was immediately reported to the authorities. Archaeologists arrived
to the place of discovery, they confirmed that the bones indeed belonged to
Homo Sapiens. Previously, the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks, but
a recent mountain collapse revealed to humanity a large archaeological
riddle.

On March 29, experts cleared up the remains of the giants a little and already said
their exact height. Its indicators range from 3.5 to 4 meters. But this is still
Not all! The corresponding growth also suggested the presence of a huge cranial
boxes. This means that giant people could have been much smarter
Einstein and more capable than Leonardo da Vinci.

When the jaws of giant people were examined, it was discovered
A unique phenomenon for humanity - two rows of upper and lower teeth.
Of course, this is physiologically impossible in the mouth of a modern person,
Therefore, giant people had a sloping chin, which made it possible to fit
all the 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 provide more detailed comments. Skeletons
They are now clearing the ground and heading to Krasnodarsky’s laboratory
the edges. As WellNews.ru correspondents were told, the find
US scientists became interested. Perhaps some of the skeletons will be transported
for research in the American state.

Before the flood people were giants

3.02.2012 02:40

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

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

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 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, megantropus. The height of these people ranged from 210 to 365 centimeters. Megantropus are 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 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.

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 print was left by a man six meters tall. Three huge footprints, 60 centimeters long and 17 centimeters wide, were found near Malgoa. 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.

In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of giant people on the shores of Lake Elizi in Central Africa. 12 men buried in mass grave, during their lifetime they had a height of 350 to 375 centimeters. 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

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.

IN South Africa During 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 reliable evidence of the finds of huge skulls in the South East Asia and on the islands of Oceania.

At the beginning of the 16th century, one discovery made the entire French kingdom talk about itself: a complete skeleton of a man of gigantic stature who lived in a very specific era was found. This was the king of the Cimbri, one of the two tribes that attacked Gaul and was defeated by the Roman general Marius. Nicolas Habicot published in 1613 “A Dissertation on the Frame of the Giant Teutobochus, King of the Cimbri.” This skeleton was indeed impressive because it belonged to a man 25 feet tall. The discovery, which was considered genuine, was talked about for a long time, and the supposed skeleton of “Teutobochus” occupied its rightful place in the Natural History Museum for several generations. This was believed even 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 composed of real fossil bones, but these were not human bones at all: these were the bones of ... a mastodon, that is, a type of prehistoric giant elephant that disappeared even before the appearance of mammoths. This means that the clever “handicraftsman” simply figured out how to give the bones a “standing” position, so that the height and posture of the skeleton resembled that 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, of course, impressive, but there is no reason to claim that their creators were of gigantic stature. In the end, Cathedral in Strasbourg - also a huge building, but nevertheless, it was built by people of quite normal sizes, they just owned perfect technology.

And yet there are some very intriguing archaeological discoveries. Archaeologist Burkhalter, during excavations in Moravia, discovered a stone tool whose dimensions exceeded three by four meters and weighed three or four pounds! This, quite obviously, was a used tool, and not at all a symbolic item 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 a paradise lost from the very beginning, an initial high initiation followed by a fall.”

In the tales and legends of almost all peoples of the Earth there are references to people of enormous stature - giants. The fact that there used to be people on Earth whose height was much higher than that of modern humans is indicated by many archaeological finds found around the world.

The remains of giant people have been found in almost every part of the world:Mexico, Peru, Tunisia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Philippines, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Spain, Georgia, Southeast Asia, the islands of Oceania.

In 2008, near the city Borjomi, V Kharagauli reserve, Georgian archaeologists found a skeleton three-meter giant. Skull found in 3 times more ordinary human skull.

The remains of giant people were found in Australia, where anthropologists found a fossilized indigenous tooth 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. The owner of the tooth must have been about 7.5 meters and weight 370 kilograms. Hydrocarbon analysis determined the age of the find - 9 million years.

IN China fragments of jaws of people whose height ranged from 3 before 3,5 meters, and weight 300 kilograms.

IN South Africa, at diamond mines, a fragment of a huge skull as tall as 45 centimeters. Anthropologists have determined the age of the skull - about 9 million years.

Many remains of giants were found in the last century on Caucasus. In 2000, archaeologists discovered the skeletons of four-meter giants in a mountain cave in Eastern Georgia.

In 2001, on July 23, Marvin Rainwater, owner of a farm in Iowa (USA), while digging a well, a tomb was discovered with mummified giant people 3 meters tall.

IN Sahara near Gobero Stone Age burials have been discovered. The age of the remains is approximately 5000 years. In 2005 - 2006, about 200 burials of two cultures were found in the region - Kifian And Tenerian. The Kifians lived in this territory 8 - 10 thousand years back. They were tall, exceeding 2 meters.

Many giant fossilized bones were discovered in one of the mountain valleys Turkey. Fossilized human leg bone is long 120 centimeters, judging by this size, the person's height was about 5 meters. The Giant Race existed!

The end of the twentieth century was marked by a sensational discovery by an Anglo-French paleontological expedition that conducted research in remote parts of Southern Mongolia, in the Gobi Desert, which has long been considered a hive of secrets. There is a place there called Uulakh, about which a legend about a giant devil who lived in a stone gorge has been passed down from generation to generation. He was so huge that the earth could hardly bear him.

A group of paleontologists, led by Professor Higley, decided to check the authenticity of this legend. Persistent excavations in layers of rock, which are about 45 million years old, were crowned with success: a well-preserved skeleton of a humanoid creature was discovered. Moreover, scientists were amazed by its growth - about 15-17 meters. It turns out that the legend was true? But how did local residents know about the “gigantic shaitan” if he lived millions of years ago? There is only one plausible explanation: they have already seen his bones. The rock could have been washed away by water, which allowed the Mongols to see the remains, the legend of which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.

This means that human civilization has already existed for 45 million years - the Race of Giants!?

Independent experts pointed to another important factor: a fake of this scale cannot be manufactured and delivered to the required location in secret.

Noteworthy is the version put forward by Canadian scientist Roger Wingley, who noted that it is necessary to take into account the data of recent studies. It follows from them that for billions of years the Earth rotated around the Sun and around its axis much faster than at present. Calculations show that at that time a day lasted about 10 hours, and in one year there were almost 400 days. According to Wingley, such conditions made it possible for the existence of giants - dinosaurs, lizards and even humanoids. It is likely that this is the answer to the mysterious gorge.

Articles appeared in a number of British newspapers that called for a new look at the history of human development. The famous British scientist Dr. Tones expressed his view on the problem.

He believes that his colleagues made a unique find that does not belong to earthly civilization. The professor hypothesized that the creature discovered in the Gobi Desert developed and lived according to laws that are very far from earthly evolution. Therefore, this is not a representative of an extinct race from our planet, not a hoax, but a creature from outer space.

Historical chronicles of the 19th century often report the discovery of skeletons of abnormally tall people in different parts of the globe.

In 1821 in USA in Tennessee found the ruins of an ancient stone wall, and under it 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 in Utah Several burial mounds were discovered containing the burials of very tall people - 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 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 1890 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.

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.

Up close 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).

One of the most unique specimens in Klaus Don's collection is the bones of a giant. This is a genuine artifact. IN Ecuador in 1964 he found part of the calcaneus and occipital bone of a human skeleton. Based on calculations, he found out that this bone belonged to a man 7 meters 60 centimeters tall. The age of these remains is more than 10 thousand years. But that is not all. IN Bolivia he was also able to make a discovery. Klaus discovered a burial of people 260-280 centimeters tall. But the strangest thing is that they have unusually elongated skulls.

About giant people from other sources:

Helena Blavatsky

Theosophist, writer and traveler Helena Blavatsky formed a classification of existing earthly civilizations - Indigenous Human Races:

I race - angelic people,

Race II - ghost-like people,

III race - Lemurians,

IV race - Atlanteans,

V race - Aryans (WE).

In her book The Secret Doctrine, Helena Blavatsky writes that the inhabitants of Lemuria were the “root race” of humanity.

As Blavatsky writes, “the late Lemurians had a height of 10 - 20 meters. All major achievements of earthly technology come from them. They left their knowledge on “golden plates”, hidden to this day in secret places. The Lemurian civilization existed for many millions of years and disappeared 2 - 3 million years ago.

The Atlantean race was also a highly developed race, but to a lesser extent than the Lemurians. Atlanteans were 5-6 meters tall and were similar in appearance to modern people. The bulk of the Atlanteans died during the Great Flood 850 thousand years ago, but some groups of Atlanteans survived until a period of 12 thousand years ago.

The Aryan race appeared in the depths of the Atlantic civilization about a million years ago. All modern earthlings are called Aryans. The early Aryans were 3-4 meters tall, then their height decreased.”

Nicholas Roerich

The scientist, artist, and mystic philosopher Nicholas Roerich wrote about the Bamiyan statues: “These five figures belong to the creation of the hands of the Initiates of the Fourth Race, who, after the sinking of their continent, found refuge in the strongholds and on the peaks of the Central Asian mountain range. These figures illustrate the Doctrine of the gradual evolution of Races. The largest depicts the First Race, its etheric body was imprinted in solid, indestructible stone. The second - 36 meters high - depicts the “Later-Born”. The third - at 18 meters - perpetuates the Race that fell and conceived the first physical Race, born of a father and mother, the last offspring of which are depicted in statues on Easter Island. These were only 6 and 7.5 meters tall in the era when Lemuria was flooded. The Fourth Race was even smaller in size, although gigantic in comparison with our Fifth Race, and the series ends with the last.”

Drunvalo Melchizedek

Scientist and esotericist, Drunvalo Melchizedek in the book "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" writes about aliens from parallel worlds on the land of Ancient Egypt.

He describes the growth of people of different spatial dimensions:

1.5 - 2 meters - the height of people of the third (our) dimension,

3.6 - 4.5 meters - fourth dimension,

10.6 meters - fifth dimension,

18 meters - sixth dimension,

26 - 28 meters - the seventh dimension.

Drunvalo Melchizedek writes that egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten was not an earthling, he came from the Sirius star system, his height was 4.5 meters. Akhenaten's wife, Nefertiti, was about 3.5 meters tall. They were people of the fourth dimension.

Ernst Muldashev

Professor Ernst Muldashev, during an expedition to Syria, in the town of Ain-Dara, in an ancient destroyed temple, discovered traces of a giant man. The length of the giant's footprint was 90 cm, the width at the base of the fingers was 45 cm, the length of the thumb was 20 cm, and the length of the little finger was 15 cm. According to calculations, a person with such foot sizes should have been 6.5-10 meters tall.

In the East there is a very detailed description of the Buddha. From this description, called “60 features and 32 characteristics of the Buddha,” it is known that the Buddha had enormous height, webbing between his fingers and toes, and 40 teeth, which corresponds to the description of the people of the Atlantean civilization.

GIANTS TODAY

Nowadays, there are also giants, but, unfortunately, there is little fabulous in them. These are sick people suffering from increased function of the anterior pituitary gland, which produces growth hormone. Giants grow over 2 meters (the tallest man described in literature was 320 centimeters tall). In childhood, they look like ordinary people, but by the beginning of puberty (9-10 years), their growth accelerates sharply and lasts longer than that of ordinary people.

Matrine Van Buren Bates(1837-1919) - “giant from Kentucky”, hero of the American civil war, who fought on the side of the Confederacy (slave-owning south of the country). His height reached 243 centimeters and weight - 234 kilograms. In his youth, Martin worked as a school teacher, but after the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the army, rose to the rank of captain, became a legend among the northerners, was captured, was exchanged (according to another version, he escaped), and eventually decided to leave the service, taking a job to the circus. Despite their giant stature, such people are characterized by poor health. They rarely live to old age, sometimes have mental problems, are not sexually active, and suffer from visual impairment. Their gigantism is disproportionate - people often become freaks with excessively small heads and long limbs. However, despite this, many giants find the strength to live a normal life. They even manage to become famous.

The average height of a person in our time ranges from 165 to 180 cm. Anyone who exceeds these “standards” either ends up on the basketball team, or simply looks down on the whole world. And if the height exceeds two meters, then such people are called “giants” (however, there are dozens of other names that can rather be perceived as offensive nicknames). However, there are individuals in comparison with whom even your tallest friend will seem miniature. Today's list consists of just such, the tallest people on the planet!

Bernard with his family

Before being drafted into the army, Coyne indicated his height on the soldier’s card as 244 cm. However, the pathologists who examined the deceased stated that these data were slightly “underestimated” and his height was 257 cm. Bernard was born at the end of the 19th century in Iowa, where and was buried with full honors after the First World War.

The Sultan before the record commission in 2010

The Sultan is the tallest living person. His height is 252 cm. A similar anomaly was caused by hyperactivity of the pituitary gland, which had to be stopped in 2010. At the same time, Kösen’s height stopped increasing.

Angus and his "little" friend

The famous "Angus the Giant" was simply a huge, but well-proportioned man. No anomalies or abnormalities were found in his body. The Guinness Book of Records also claims that he was the strongest man who ever lived. He alone could easily lift anchors weighing up to a ton. In addition to all his other advantages, as his contemporaries claimed, Angus was a very impressive man and the owner of a beautiful velvety baritone.

Yao and father

This Chinese girl, like many giants, suffered from a tumor in the pituitary gland, which was the reason for her great growth. Yao died at the age of 40. Her height at that time was 238 cm.

The girl and her family

Tseng was the tallest woman on the planet. Due to the structure of her body, she could not fully straighten her back, so her height was 211 cm. If Tseng stood at attention, her height would be 248 cm. She was born in 1964 in China and died at the age of 17 from diabetes.

Ella and her parents in the photo

She was also known as the "Missouri Giant." Ella was born in 1872 and at the time of her maturity was the tallest living person on the planet. Despite constant ridicule about her appearance, Miss Ewing began to earn money for her family, showing off her features first at the Chicago Museum and then at the Barnaum and Bailey Exhibition. With a height of 256 centimeters, she had to spend a huge amount of fabric on dresses. Ella managed to make a small fortune, with which she bought a small farm for herself and her parents, where she peacefully ended her earthly journey.

Photo of Rogan in an anatomy textbook

John is considered the tallest African-American of all time. He was born in the late 780s of the 19th century in Tennessee. Until the age of 13, he was an absolutely normal boy, however, after that, his height began to increase rapidly until he reached 270 cm at the time of his death.

Bust of the Emperor in the Museum of Rome

This Roman emperor is famous for never having been to Rome. In addition, he was respected by ordinary soldiers for his unprecedented strength, which was considered a gift from the gods. Also known as Emperor Maximin the First, this giant rose from the very bottom of the military class. The Thracian ruled the Empire for three years- from 235 to 238 AD. His height was 249 cm.

Shaq before his three-point shot (a successful one, by the way)

Perhaps the most famous “big guy” of our era. Shaq was one of the best basketball players in NBA history. He is also known for his roles in films (many remember the genie he played in the film “Kazaam”). His height can be called relatively normal - 217 cm.

Sandy with talk show host

Sandy was the tallest woman in the United States of America. Her height was 234.5 cm. As her relatives note, she was an extremely pleasant, kind and sympathetic person. Miss Allen died in hospital at the age of 50. During her interview with the New York Times, Sandy said that she would have married and had a million children if not for her growing pains.

Rumisa and her parents

In 2014, Rumeisa was recognized as the tallest teenager on planet Earth. The girl is not only not ashamed of her height (214 cm), but is also proud of it. Her body achieved such “heights” due to Weaver’s syndrome, in which from birth a person begins to grow rapidly and this growth does not stop for a single day.

Photo comparing Boupré to "ordinary" people

This Canadian was born in 1881 and from an early age attracted surprised glances from the public. His dream was simple and romantic: to go to the Wild West and become a cowboy, fortunately for this he had enormous strength - he could lift a horse. His height was 252 cm. Anomalies of the pituitary gland, which caused hypergrowth, caused his death at the age of 17 years.

Computer model of de Frankenpoint's skeleton

A man with such a respectable name was the personal bodyguard of the Duke of Brunswick at the beginning of the 15th century. According to the latest data received, Antoine was the first officially recognized “giant” with a height of 243 cm. There is not a single evidence that before him there were people of the same impressive size. De Frankenpoint's skeleton is now kept in the anatomical museum in Marburg.

Don with a cash check for participation in the competition of unusual people

Don was born in Montana in 1925. What is noteworthy is that he had a twin sister, whose height did not exceed the norm. Mr. Köhler was 250 cm tall, but gravity forced him to constantly hunch over. Don died at the age of 55 from heart failure.

Matt on the set of Tim Burton's film

Matthew is the tallest actor in the world. Many viewers remember him well from the film “Big Fish” by Tim Burton, where Matt played the charismatic giant Carl. Mr. McGoy also appeared in the films “Men in Black 2” and “Bubble Boy”. However, there were other films in his career, albeit less famous ones. His height was 232 cm. Matthew died at the age of 32 in 2005.

John and his doctor

Also known as the "South Buffalo Giant". His height is 244 cm. If John straightened up, it would add another 20 cm, but due to the pressure on the spine this was impossible. Like most giants, Mr. Carroll had a diseased pituitary gland. John worked as a park ranger and, as his colleagues say, there was not a single person who would not be charmed by this good-natured giant. In addition, Carroll positively radiated a love of life, infecting those around him with it. Friends and acquaintances jokingly called him “red big guy” because of his bright red hair.

Indian giant during a parade in Delhi

Vikas was the tallest man in India. He continued to grow throughout his life and in 2005 his height was an incredible 270 cm. Mr. Uppal died in 2007 during an unsuccessful operation to remove a brain tumor. Unfortunately, the commission did not have time to measure his height and enter it into the Guinness Book of Records.

Yao while playing for the Rockets

Perhaps one of the most famous giants, his face has become a meme (you can easily find tens of thousands of pictures with him). Min is a professional basketball player and surpassed Shaquille in height (231 cm versus 217). In 2011, Yao ended his sports career due to joint and ankle diseases. In the NBA he played for the Houston Rockets, and in China for the Shanghai Sharks.

Hafthor throws a stone cannonball weighing 40 kg

Remember the huge pile of muscle named Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane from the film adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones series)? This is one of the strongest people on the planet, Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson. What’s remarkable is that he was barely 28 years old (and you couldn’t tell by looking at it). His height is 210 cm.

One of the most famous photographs of Veino

The height of this Finnish giant was 256 cm. Veino served in the army and is still considered the tallest soldier in the history of mankind. Died in 1963.

Margot during a game in the NBA Women's League

A Polish basketball player and simply spectacular woman, Margot lived a full life with a height of 219 cm. She died in 2011 from a heart attack.

Robert and his family

Newspapers nicknamed him the "Illinois Giant." Robert was born in 1918 and died in 1940, barely reaching adulthood. At the age of six he was already taller than his parents. At the time of his death, he was on tour with a circus troupe. Robert's height was 247 cm and he had to use not only a cane, but also leg braces and a corset to walk.

Brock with his mother

Brock is an ordinary teenager from Michigan with only one problem: he suffers from a rare genetic disease, Sotos syndrome. Because of this disease, he grows by 20 cm every year. Now his height is 240 cm and buying clothes is a serious expense item from the family budget, since everything has to be sewn to order. This is exactly the case when buying clothes “to grow” will no longer work.

Brahim during a tour of Paris

His height is 247 cm and he holds the “silver” title for the tallest man alive today. But he can boast of the longest foot - size 58. There is no factory that produces shoes in these sizes, so each pair is created specifically for Brahim. However, the Moroccan government sponsors the production of shoes for Brahim, so the problem can hardly be called significant.

Andre "The Giant" before the fight with Hogan

Known to many thanks to his role in the fairy tale “The Princess Bride” (who hasn’t watched it, be sure to fill this gap). However, he also has another achievement: he filled stadiums during wrestling matches and even competed with Hulk Hogan (although we all know what wrestling is). Andre's height was 221 cm. He is sometimes called the “eighth wonder of the world.” He became the first fighter to be inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1993 (posthumously).

Anthropologists argue that in the process of evolution, people will become shorter and shorter. Therefore, it is possible that in one or two generations only legends will remain about the giants. I would like to believe that not a single person on this list will be forgotten (as well as all the others who were not included in it).

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

Top 10 largest human skeletons in the world

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

Big skull

The top 10 giant remains include:

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

The Giant of Castelnau is one of the giants of France

The expression "Giant of Castelnau" refers to three parts of the incredibly large human skeleton: the humerus, the tibia, and the femur. According to scientists, the finds were located in a Bronze Age mound, possibly dating back to the Neolithic era. According to archaeologists working on the excavation, the skeleton found may belong to one of the largest people in the world ever known to exist. Based on the size of the skeletal bones of this large man, scientists estimate that he could have been about 3.5 meters tall.

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

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

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

18 skeletons in Wisconsin - number is in doubt

In 1912, the New York Times reported the discovery of 18 of the world's largest human skeletons at an archaeological site near Lake Delavan in Wisconsin. Their heights ranged from 231 to 304 cm, and their skulls were much larger than those of any race inhabiting America today. They had a double row of teeth, 6 fingers and toes.

Pictured are skeletons of giants from Wisconsin.

Many reports say that the largest human skeletons were sent to the Smithsonian Institution, but officials at the institution deny these claims.

Giant skull from Peru - a dark story with DNA

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

Large skeleton found in Peru considered alien

Scientists around the world have conducted DNA tests based on materials from this skeleton, but reliable data on their results has never been made public. This raises a number of theories about the alien origin of the largest skeleton.

Is the five-meter skeleton from Australia a fake?

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

The world's largest skeleton may be a fake

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

Roman giant - records of the past

At 202 centimeters tall, the man was considered a giant in third-century AD Rome, where men averaged about 167 centimeters tall. However, today such growth characteristics are not surprising, because in the modern world the tallest person is 251 centimeters tall.

Nevertheless, such skeletons are discovered extremely rarely, because the fact of gigantism itself is rare: today only about three people per million worldwide suffer from this disease. Changes begin in childhood when malfunctioning pituitary gland causes abnormal growth.

Skeletal bones of a Roman giant

The unusual skeleton was found in 1991 during excavations in the necropolis of Fidenae, an area administered by Rome. Even at the time of the initial excavations, the archaeological department of Rome, which led the project, noted that the found human tomb was abnormally long. However, it was only during a later anthropological examination that the bones were also recognized as unusual. Soon after, they were sent for further analysis to the team of Simon Minozzi, who led this archaeological research. To find out whether the skeleton had gigantism, the team examined the bones and found evidence of skull changes that were consistent with a pituitary tumor. It destroys the organ by causing an excess of human growth hormone.

Cemetery of Giants in China - large for the period

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

5,000-year-old human skeletons from China

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

A giantess from Poland - the difficult fate of an unknown giantess

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

The largest female skeleton found in Poland

Researchers analyzing what remains of the woman's skeleton say she lived a short life filled with trauma and illness:

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

The location of her burial in the cemetery is also curious. While the heads of all other bodies were buried facing west, her head was located towards the east. Both of her arms were bent rather than fully extended.

Kentucky Giant - Museum Exhibit

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

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

Robert Wadlow - a devastating disease

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

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

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

Irish giant - controversy surrounding remains

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

The largest skeleton comes from the 18th century

According to the memoirs of Dr. Thomas Muinzer, who researched Byrne's life, there were many remarkable reports in the newspapers of that time about how he lit his pipe from lamps in the streets in Edinburgh because he was so tall. He arrived in London in his early 20s and continued to show himself off in public, collecting a tidy income as crowds flocked to witness his gigantic stature for themselves. Lifetime images of the giant have been preserved, but in the photo you can only see his skeleton.

Documents from the time reported that he told friends he wanted to be buried at sea out of fear that surgeons might locate his body if he was buried in the cemetery. However, despite this, after his death his remains were taken to the Royal College of Surgeons Museum in London, where they were reduced to bare bones. Despite calls from scientists and human rights activists to honor Byrne's last wishes, his large skeleton remains on public display.
