Giant human skeletons found? Or hoax?

Don't be discouraged, there are plenty of ATS members who thrive on being purely skeptical of any and everything.
The fact of the matter is, there are hundreds of accounts of giant skeletons being uncovered all over the globe over the past 200 years or so. Just look into the burial mounds in the midwest for example. Also, I find the Egyptian artifacts found in a cavern in the grand canyon back in the early 1900s to be extremely interesting too....Especially considering that this particular area is off limits to any visitors whatsoever, which to me could be a good indicator of evidence that might discredit the things we've been taught for so long. And why did i mention the grand canyon/Egyptian enigma? Because GIANT mummies were supposedly found there.

Oh dear! As far as I know this has been debunked to death, dug up and resuscitated and brought back to life then debunked to death again!!!
If you believe in those giant skeleton remains then I've got some grade A fairy dust you might be interested in purchasing?

See the problem with your thinking is that I am not talking about ONE particular set of bones......I am talking about literally hundreds of skeletons found over a few hundred year period.
Not to mention legends of old worldwide that have described different races of GIANT humans. Now can you debunk it all? I highly doubt it.

But I could quote hundreds of stories worldwide about fairies, hobgoblins, sea monsters and the Easter bunny but it doesn't make it fact. I eagerly await a link which shows some credible evidence that giant humans once walked the earth. I've seen the pictures and they are easily replicated. . . Stories are, I'm sorry to say, just stories and legends very rarely have any basis in fact. Remember Jack And The Beanstalk? You've already bought into the idealogy of giants, I await you're post about the reality of magic beans!

Wow this many replies and nobody has actually said ho these pictures came to be? I for one have seen this topic on ATS now atleast 5 times and from my recollection it was viral advertising for a playstation 1 game... I will try find the game (and real advertisement) and post it back here soon.

It was.

The game was called Shadow of the Colossus.

Unlike Ico, Shadow received far more exposure, due in part to Sony putting its weight behind a massive advertising campaign.[55] It was advertised in game magazines, on television and on the internet, including a viral marketing campaign launched in October 2005. The site posted links to several websites claiming that the remains of five giants resembling certain colossi had been discovered in various parts of the world.

Mintwithahole. You could be a blind man and see that there is tons of proof. You are just the kind of person that wakes up when its too late. If you dont believe or want to,why are you still trying to debunk this? Did you bother to even look at the links?

P.S. everyone,thanks for destroying my thread!

Good job, man. You come here asking if the pictures of these giant skeletons are hoaxes, people tell you that yes, they are hoaxes, and then you whine about your thread being destroyed.



And what the eff is this thread doing in the Aliens & UFOs forum anyway.

Nothing blind about me! For instance I can see quite clearly that you are the kind of gullible wingnut who these type of ridiculous topics are aimed at. I don't have to debunk this- it's already been debunked to death!!!
I've seen far better evidence than you supply here but I'm still not convinced. It's all too easily replicated. I rate the existence of giants in earths past in the same way as I rate the existence of lizard people or those who believe the plant is hollow.

Sure some were proved as doctored or hoaxes,while some seem to be un answered. And as for why it is posted under aliens and ufos is because the giants were supposedly created by aliens. No one is whining but you. I guess you joined ats to talk about politics,so maybe you should stick with that.

I'm telling you this subject has plenty of plausibility. Just because you haven't seen one up close doesn't mean that they don't exist. I did provide some good links to evidence pointing towards the possibility. Also,judging from how rude you are,why would anyone want to take your word for anything?

If you read the commentary below the pics it explains that it is a hoax.

Just saying.

Here is a picture of some of the Euphrates Valley giants

Okay, sorry about being rude. There was no call for it and I apologise. The reason I don't take any of this seriously is purely because the photographs you produce have all been revealled to be hoaxs. They can be easily created on any computer! Also, you and others have produced photographs of modern giants! people above average height but they are a long way removed from the twenty foot plus skeleton remains that appear in the hoax pictures.
Honestly, I wish it was true as well. It would be marvellous to get hold of some hard proof that we do indeed have our history wrong, but this doesn't in anyway come under the caption of proof.
Show me something tangible and I'll only be too pleased to read it but photo shopped pictures wont do.
Once again, sorry about the wingnut thing.

No problem,everyone has their own opinion,that's what ATS is all about.

The "giants" in that first picture seem to be caused by perspective. The skeletons are normal sized, but they're in the foreground while the people in the background giving the illusion that the skeletons are huge.

Having given this topic a lot of thought I have one big question which I would like you all to consider.
If archeologists have dug up skeleton human remains of above average size would the powers that be allow them to freely report their findings? I, like many, have stated that there is no evidence for giant skeletons but at the same time, I have to admit, I don't think they would be allowed to publish their findings because they went against the current scientific thinking.
Would those in power dare risk telling us that our history is bunk and that sometime, hundreds if not thousands of years ago, giant humanoids walked amongst us?

Those are great pictures of modern day giants. However, they are giants because of genetic abnormalities. I would like to see some photos of an actual giant race. Like a village where the people there are all very large. 6'6"+. I believe there, at some point, may have been "giants'. It would be very hard, without solid evidence, to prove either way

Esteay812 here is what you are looking for I believe, its about the Giants of North America.
