The soldier looks a bit on the short side anyway, but that guy is just massive reminds me of jaws from the bond films lol. Theres been lots of study into how people could have been a lot larger many years ago, its just that either the evidence hasnt been found or its been covered up, but the theory is there. its plausable.
i think it was in ireland or switzerland, like in 1930 or something they found a real giant nephilim mummy in a wooden coffin, it was about 12.6 foot tall.
I dont suppose you have any links to information regarding this find do you? i would really like to have a look at it.
Thanks

I think you missed my point mate My point is that what looks like a Roman (or Greek) statue and smells like a Roman statue is, most likely, A ROMAN STATUE.
It's clearly a statue, sorry to say mate.

Back in 1869 in Cardiff New York, an avowed atheist named George Hull got into an argument with a preacher from a travelling revival show over whether or not the Bible should be read literally. The specific verse in question was Genesis 6:4. The preacher argued for the complete and absolute truth of the passage. Hull got an idea.
He secretly arranged for the carving of a 10 foot giant statue of himself which he buried on his brother-in-law's farm. On October 16, 1869 contractors hired to dig a well "discovered" the statue, and believers promptly declared it to be the fossilized remains of a biblical giant, proving the accuracy of Genesis 6:4
Hull and his brother-in-law were making a nice little side-income by charging believers 50 cents a head to view the "fossil" when investors offered them $30,000 for it so they could display it in Syracuse New York where larger crowds could be expected.
PT Barnum was so impressed by how well the Syracuse exhibit was doing, he offered $60,000 just to borrow the "fossil" for three months. When he was turned down, he made a plaster copy which drew bigger crowds than the original.
Eventually, the Cardiff giant drew the attention of scientists and a Yale paleontologist examined it. Quickly finding clearly identifiable chisel marks in the stone which would not be present in a genuine fossil and which would have somewhat eroded in a long-buried ancient statue, he declared the giant to be a fake.
And yet, people continued to pay to see the biblical giant even though most now recognized it was all a hoax. The original can be seen to this day in the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown and Barnum's copy is in Marvin's Museum near Detroit.
Now it gets even more unbelievable.
In 1895, a fossilized giant was apparently discovered in County Antrim, Ireland and shipped to London where it was photographed and the picture published in The Strand magazine. This giant was reportedly taller than the Cardiff Giant at over 12 feet. Somehow in spite of its size, the "Fossilized Irish Giant" managed to disappear shortly after this picture was taken.
Unfortunately, no scientist ever managed to examine this particular "fossil" before it was "lost." As a result, there are still those today who use the Irish Giant as clear and convincing evidence of the literal truth of Genesis 6:4 (Just do a web search on Fossilized Irish Giant.)
Three things to note:
1. Look at the similarities of pose between the proven fake Cardiff Giant and the mysteriously missing Irish Giant. Does this not suggest that someone copied PT Barnum's idea of copying the Cardiff Giant?
2. Does the perspective look right in this photograph? Is the "giant" really taller than that freight car in the background. Or is this a carefully selected camera angle to make a much smaller statue look immense? Is the photograph of the fake itself a fake?
3. The Strand[1] was primarily a fiction magazine. It also published puzzles and brain-teasers.
And yet today there are those who believe the Irish Giant was real.

The Stone-Giant is not a "Roman Statue".
Sure, it may be a fake, but it is not a Statue from Rome. Get a grip. Roman statues didn't look like that at all, and nor did the Romans usually make their statues with six toes.
