The myth of giants as the first inhabitants of countries is a common legend shared by different cultures across the world. Many believe that giants really once roamed on Earth while others are not so convinced with this extraordinary existence. Science accepts the giants but through another way called ‘gigantis’<\/a>. And it’s also true that mainstream archaeologists never accepted nor they found any remains of so-called ‘ancient giants’. But is this completely true?<\/p>\n

In March 2012, a piece of sensational news was published by the German edition of Bild<\/a> which stated that the remains of a giant were found on the territory of Egypt. It was a mummified finger of a creature that resembles a human, but far exceeds its size.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian Giant Finger reaches 38 centimetres in length.\u00a0To compare the size, there is a banknote next to it.\u00a0According to the publication, the photos are dated 1988, but they were provided for the first time, moreover, exclusively for this German newspaper.<\/p>\n

These photos were taken by a Swiss entrepreneur and a passionate admirer of the history of Ancient Egypt, Gregor Spoerri. According to him, in 1988 one of the private suppliers in Egypt promised to organize a meeting with the robber of ancient burials.\u00a0The meeting took place in a small house in Bir Hooker, a hundred kilometres northeast of Cairo.\u00a0He showed the Spoerri a finger wrapped in rags.<\/p>\n

According to Spoerri, it was a strong-smelling, oblong-shaped bag, and its contents were amazing. Spoerri was allowed to hold the relic, as well as take a few pictures because he paid them $300 for it. For comparison, he put next to a bank-note of 20 Egyptian pounds. The finger was very dry and light. Spoerri noted that it was unbelievable, the creature to which it belonged should have been at least 5 meters (almost 16.48ft) in height.<\/p>\n
