Quote:Agraveyard of 'giants' buried 5,000 years ago has been uncovered by archaeologists in eastern China.
The men, whose bones were discovered in Jiaojia village near Jinan City in Shandong province, would have towered above many of their contemporaries.
Quote:Many of the men discovered in the graveyard measured 1.8 metres (5ft 11in) tall and would have seemed like giants to the average person 5,000 years ago.
One of the men in the ancient burial ground measured 1.9 metres (6ft 3in), making him a 'giant' of his day.
“This is just based on the bone structure. If he was a living person his height would certainly exceed 1.9 metres,” Fang Hui, head of Shandong University's school of history and culture, told China Daily.
Quote:Archaeologists say their large tombs suggest they were likely considered powerful, high status individuals who had access to better food than the average person.
But what made them so tall? “Already agricultural at that time, people had diverse and rich food resources and thus their physique changed,” Fang Hui explained.
Today, men aged 18 living in the region have an average height of 1.753 metres (5ft 9ins), which is higher than the national average of 1.72 metres (5ft 8ins).
Archaeologists have discovered a number of artefacts at the site from the Longshan Culture, renowned for its eggshell black pottery, from the Neolithic period.
They began excavating the ruins of 104 houses, 205 graves and 20 sacrificial pits in the village last year, China Daily reports.

That is interesting isn't it @"Mystic Wanderer" ?
I've heard that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding bones of giants.
Have you heard anymore about your Nazca Mummies?

@"guohua", yes, they have had a few more shows since I posted, but they are speaking in Spanish (I think), so I have no idea what they said. I think there is a place to get the transcript on GAIA, but I haven't yet.
