Giants on Earth

Legends of giants believed to have inhabited our planet are generating great interest. In this article, we present fascinating finds that suggest these mythical creatures may have existed. From unusual human footprints in Tennessee, to giant skeletons excavated in California, to a fossilized skeleton found in Ireland, each of these discoveries raises questions about our past. Moreover, some of these finds contain unusual anatomical features, such as extra fingers or multiple rows of teeth, prompting reflection on human history and its mysteries.

Was our planet truly inhabited by the legendary giants that appear in the folklore of almost every nation? Here's some evidence:

- Six-toed human footprints with a heel 25 centimeters wide were found imprinted in hard rock in Brayton, Tennessee (USA). Even stranger, tracks from a "giant horse" were found nearby, measuring over 25 centimeters wide.

An extraordinary find was unearthed by soldiers building a gunpowder magazine at Lampock Rancho, California, in 1833. The find was the skeleton of a nearly four-meter-tall man. The giant had two rows of teeth in each jaw, and its body was surrounded by shells and stones adorned with unknown markings. A similar skeleton was excavated on Santa Rosa Island, California. This time, however, the strange creature possessed four rows of teeth.

A discovery from Crittenden, Arizona, from 1891. Workers working on the construction of an office building unearthed a large stone sarcophagus. Experts and local officials called to the site determined that the sarcophagus contained a human-shaped coffin. Inside, they found human remains, almost completely destroyed by the ravages of time. The strangest thing was that the man must have been at least four meters tall, and judging by the drawings carved inside the coffin, he had six fingers and six toes.

A fossilized giant discovered in 1895 by Dr. Dyer during mineralogical surveys in County Antrim, Ireland. The photograph above (published in the British magazine "Strand") shows it leaning against a freight wagon. It stood 12 feet 2 inches tall (approx. 3.7 meters), had arms 4 feet 6 inches long (1.37 meters), and weighed over 2 tons. Its right foot had six toes. After lengthy discussions to determine the owner of the find, it turned out that the giant's whereabouts remained unknown.

- Enormous human footprints found near the tracks of large carnivorous dinosaurs were discovered 12 km east of Mount Vernon, Kentucky (USA) and near the towns of Glen Rose and Walnut Springs, Texas (USA). Glen Rose is home to the Paluxy River, at the bottom of which, in a single geological layer (evidence that the tracks were made at the same time), dozens of human and dinosaur footprints were found. The human, five-toed tracks, this time, are approximately 50-70 cm long and about 20 cm wide. Most of them are larger than the tracks of prehistoric reptiles. This strange phenomenon remains a hotly debated topic among anthropologists and paleontologists

The examples presented above are only part of the circumstantial evidence that may suggest that once upon a time on Earth there lived representatives of a huge human race characterized not only by body size but also by other strange anatomical details, such as several rows of teeth or six fingers and toes.
