According to Thatsnonsense, a site specializing in verifying news spread on social networks, in recent years, netizens have often shared photos showing moments when “giant skeletons” were discovered. Scientists or archaeologists excavate from underground.
The photos are not clearly captioned where or when they were taken, but they have a strange appeal and indeed make netizens curious and surprised. They are shared regardless on forums like Reddit, Quora or social networks like Twitter, Facebook.
For example, recently, Twitter users were buzzing about a photo of a large skeleton with the caption: “Discovered more than 20,000 skeletons of giants worldwide.”
This post immediately shocked many netizens because they did not understand where there were so many giants. Even below this post, another account also provided information that: ” The US Supreme Court has forced the Smithsonian Institution (a US government research academy and museum) to release documents secret documents from the 1990s, which revealed that the Smithsonian Institution itself destroyed thousands of giant human skeletons to protect its view of evolution over hundreds of years.”
However, this photo did not fool everyone, some observant netizens researched and discovered that this is actually a photoshopped photo!
The original photo was taken on August 2, 2008, edited with “Adobe Photoshop CS5.1” software, even stating the editing date as August 14, 2011.
Thatsnonsense also traced the source of the photo to “Photoshop” contests, regularly held on websites like DesignCrowd (formerly Worth1000).
However, not all images of giant skeletons are edited. The image below – is constantly circulating online with the caption that this is the body of Goliath in the bible. This photo is a work of art by Italian artist Gino De Domonicis, called Calamita Cosmica (Cosmic Magnet) and was first shared online in 2007.
This photo was spread thanks to the famous website World News Daily Report. This page spreads information that human skeletons were unearthed in Australia. However, these are not human bones but the bones of a giant mammoth in France.
Although there is countless “evidence” circulating online that attracts the attention of many people, to date no document about such a giant human skeleton has been published in scientific journals, or at least. is a museum.
Therefore, every time you press the “share” button, each person should carefully research the information they want to convey to their friends!
