Did prehistoric giants really exist?

The discovery of ancient giants has excited the archaeological and scientific communities. These discoveries give us a deeper understanding of history, but also make some people feel anxious and uneasy.

In myths, legends and historical records of many countries around the world, in addition to the great flood, there is another word that appears frequently, which is "giant". The concept of giants has existed in human history for thousands of years, they are often described as tall humanoid creatures with strong bodies and extraordinary strength.

Although giants are often considered mythical creatures, modern archaeological discoveries have shown that the origin of the myths about prehistoric giants is not entirely unfounded. Before entering today's topic, it is necessary to clarify that the content of this issue has not been proven and accepted by the majority of the scientific community, so it is only considered a story.

In Chinese mythology and legends , giants play an extremely important role. The most famous giant among them is certainly Pan Gu , who is considered the god who created the world.

Besides Pan Gu, there are other prominent giant figures in Chinese mythology. One of them is Xing Tian, ​​a mighty giant warrior known for his indomitable spirit and immense strength. Kua Fu is also described as a proud giant, legend has it that he chased the Sun but eventually died of exhaustion from running too long.

In addition to the legends of giants in China, there are also legends of giants in ancient Greece and Rome . According to legend, the Earth goddess Gaia gave birth to a family of Titans, these are legendary giants, they are tall, fierce and terrifying. Therefore, the Titans naturally arouse fear in people.

These giants of myth and fairy tales are often considered mythical creatures and have little to do with real giants. But modern archaeological discoveries show that legends of prehistoric giants are not entirely unfounded.

Unusually tall human skeletons have been found at archaeological sites around the world, their size and shape reminiscent of prehistoric myths and legends about giants. In the 1970s, some archaeologists accidentally discovered the remains of giants during archaeological excavations in Shandong, China, all of which were extremely large in size, with an average height of more than 1.9 meters (far exceeding the average height of ancient humans).

This shows that there was some kind of connection between humans and giants in Shandong more than 5,000 years ago that cannot be ignored. In particular, the tallest of these remains is even more than two meters, while the shortest is only 1.7 meters, considering the relatively difficult living conditions in ancient times, 1.7 meters can be considered quite tall.

The excavated remains were extremely large in size, with an average height of more than 1.9 meters. (Illustration photo).

It is worth mentioning that although there are individuals who are over two meters tall in modern society, they are only a minority and cannot form an independent race at all. However, these remains show that there were many "giants" in ancient times , so after in-depth research, archaeologists concluded that these giants really existed.

In addition to the discoveries in China, there are also some mysterious discoveries. There is a cave called Chuifa Cave, 35km southwest of Chuifa Town in Nevada, USA. This place carries a legend related to the Yuanlongte Indians . Long ago, they were threatened by a kind of red-haired giants, these giants were tall and fierce. After many years of fighting, they finally succeeded in driving away the giants.

However, this legend was not widely believed. Until 1911, some miners went to Chuifa Cave to dig for guano and unexpectedly discovered a tall mummy. The mummy was 2.2 meters tall and had red hair. It was later collected by the Humport Museum in Nevada. This discovery attracted widespread attention.

In addition, the remains of some tall prehistoric people have also been found in Europe. In the Lascaux Cave in France, archaeologists discovered a 3.4 meter tall human skeleton . This discovery shocked the entire archaeological community, because this type of stature is extremely rare in prehistoric people.

Similarly, some giant skeletons measuring up to 2.7 meters tall were also discovered at Stonehenge in England. These discoveries have triggered extensive research and discussion. Not only that, there are also new discoveries about ancient giants in the Americas. There is a mysterious pyramid in Peru, an unexpected event that led archaeologists to discover traces of ancient giants. In three ancient tombs of the pyramid, archaeologists found three different relics. After measuring, each skeleton was more than 3 meters tall. This discovery caused a stir around the world.

Myths and legends about prehistoric giants are not entirely meaningless. (Illustration).

Similar discoveries were made in a valley in Türkiye, where traces of ancient human life were also found. On the walls around the area, archaeologists discovered hieroglyphics used by ancient people to record events and communicate.

When archaeologists tore down these walls, they were surprised to find two mummies. One of the mummies was a woman lying quietly holding a child. Surprisingly, the height of this woman was not that of an ordinary modern woman but that of a tall ancient giant.

These archaeological discoveries show that myths and legends about prehistoric giants are not entirely meaningless . The appearance of ancient giants has excited the archaeological and scientific communities. These discoveries give us the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of history, but also make some people feel anxious and uneasy. If ancient giants really did exist, it would pose a serious challenge to Darwin's theory of evolution.

We will never know for sure whether prehistoric giants existed. (Illustration).

According to the theory of evolution, the common ancestor of human beings is primitive primates and the reason why humans have early thinking ability is the result of natural selection and evolution. Now, we seem to have found creatures with early human intelligence - ancient giants. Whether it is hieroglyphics or human hair, it shows that ancient giants already possessed the thinking ability of early humans.

This is certainly the biggest challenge to evolution. But the findings are not widely accepted. Some scientists believe the remains may be from other animals or the result of unusual human development.

Although some legends describe giants, these are not enough to prove the existence of giants. These depictions are probably just folk art images and not real historical facts.

We won't know for sure whether prehistoric giants existed until more research and scientific evidence emerges. So the truth about prehistoric giants remains a mystery.
