To date, the above question is still a controversial issue that has not yet come to an end. However, the mysterious phenomenon website Maestroviejo has pointed out some evidence and signs showing the existence of giants in history.
 

Legendary giant

Besides the Bible, giants are also mentioned in the Indian epic Mahabharata, in Greek mythology as well as present in the traditions, customs, and stories of the Aztecs, Egyptians, and Irish. or the Basque Country.

The ancient Aztecs once mentioned creatures called Quinametzin through their myths. Accordingly, the Quinametzin giants have dominated the earth since before the legendary Sun Rain (Nahui-Quiahuitl) period.

A Quinametzin is over three meters tall and weighs about 270 kg. The Quinametzin were punished by the gods for not paying homage. Their existence ended after countless terrible disasters that were said to have been sent down from heaven by “higher beings” because of the serious sins they committed.

According to some documents, Mexico’s Cholula pyramid, the greatest structure on earth, and the city of Teotihuacan (“Where Mortals Become Saints”) were single-handedly built by the Quinametzin race of giants.

In the Odyssey, Homer mentioned giants as a large and wild race under the rule of Eurimedon, a king who lived in the far west, on the island of Thrinacia. However, the giant was destroyed by Eurimedon himself because of his disrespectful and insolent attitude towards the gods.

Thus, in mythology, giants are certainly not something strange. But what about in reality? Do traces of giants exist or not?
 

“The Book of Giants”

Discovered more than half a century ago, the “Book of Giants” is one of the most interesting and controversial discoveries in the world. Mixed in with a series of other ancient texts, the book describes in detail the destruction of the Nephilim giants appearing in the Bible.

In 1947, a Bedouin shepherd accidentally discovered ancient manuscripts in the Qumran cave located northwest of the Dead Sea. By 1956, extensive archaeological excavations had found more than 900 manuscripts on parchment and papyrus dating back to BC. “The Book of Giants” is among these documents.
 

Tomb of the giant

In 2016, archaeologists began excavating a settlement dating from the late Neolithic period in a village near Jinan city, Shandong province, China. Here, they discovered remains of unusual height compared to human height at that time, up to 1.8 to 1.83 m. In particular, there is a set of remains reaching a height of up to 1.9 m.

“This is just an estimate based on bone structure,” said the head of Shandong University’s school of historical and cultural studies. “If he were a living entity, his height would definitely exceed 1.9 meters.”

People in Shandong province are still said to have superior height compared to other areas in China, but still cannot compare with the height of people found in the above tombs, experts said. assessment.
 

Giant encounters

In the diary of explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the first Portuguese to travel around the world, he recorded that he had encountered giants in what is now Patagonia in South America. year 1520.

At that time, when he saw a naked giant dancing on the beach, Magellan sent the crew members of the expedition team to approach and show goodwill by imitating the giant’s dance.

They succeeded and lured the giant to the shore of a small island, where Captain Magellan was waiting. Antonio Pigafetta, a scholar who also participated in the journey, described the scene in a diary that was later written into a book called “Magellan’s Journey: The Story of the First Trip Around the World”.

“When he stood in front of us, he began to be surprised and scared and pointed to the sky, asking if we had come down from heaven. He was so tall that the tallest among us only stood up to his waist,” Pigafetta describes in the book.

On that small island, Magellan and his companions gave the giant food and drink, but they made the mistake of showing him a mirror. “When the giant saw himself in the mirror, he panicked,” Pigafetta wrote. “Jumping back, he threw four of our men to the ground.”

But in the end, when things calmed down, the explorers succeeded in connecting with the giant tribe. They hunted together, and even built warehouses together to store their trophies.

In addition to the story of explorer Magellan approximately 5 centuries ago, most recently, British researcher Gerald Alston also asserted that he had met giants. According to him, in 1919, Alston was captured as a prisoner of war by giants living in the mountains of Guiana, southeastern Venezuela. They have an average height of about 3 m with dark brown skin. One time, a giant boy while playing accidentally broke his arm, causing Alston to suffer for months. After half a year, Alston escaped and recorded the story. However, it cannot be verified.

The owner of this finger is a retired tomb robber named Nagib who lives in Bir Hooker district, near Sadat city, about 100 km north of Cairo, Egypt. The finger is nearly 35 cm long and if it is real, it must definitely belong to a person between 4.57 m and 4.88 m tall. However, 24 years later, Sporri’s discovery was revealed, on March 9, 2012. Nagib told Sporri that the giant finger was found about 150 years ago and kept in his family for generations. It cost Sporri $300 to have her finger photographed.
