Have archaeologist found giant skeleton?

I found this today..

Have archaeologist found giant skeleton? Were there giant people in the past? Many stories and myths talk about the Nephilim? But have archaeologist found giant skeleton?

Is this a serious question? I hope you are aware that this is a sculpture, yes?

Looks like a modern take on Ozymandias.

Are you saying all those pictures on the internet showing giant skeleton are fake and there been no discovery of giant skeleton?

Well because many religions talk about giants in the past.

No, as pointed out above .

My heuristic: Whiteout any scientific evidence I would say that any human skeleton exceeding 280vm in length is a fake.

Take some much needed advice ...

People who have no cognitive filter, such as yourself, should stay off YouTube.

I am saying that applying a bit of critical thinking would be helpful. What is more likely, we found skeletons of giants but don't document it anywhere and keep it a secret everywhere except for some reasons on the internet. Or perhaps, it is something that someone built? Funny bit is the very internet also helps you to figure out what the source of the image is. But clearly, someone opts not to invest that particular time.

Yes of course they are not real. There is all kinds of stuff on the internet, a lot of it fictional or misrepresented. You must know that, surely?

Anyone with any sense will check the sources of what they find by browsing the internet, to see whether it is what it may initially seem to be and if it is genuine. This is basic critical thinking in the internet era.

When I saw your picture of the giant skeleton, I looked up "giant skeleton picture" on the internet and within 30 seconds I had a written explanation of this Milan sculpture, complete with telltale details about the long nose the sculptor includes as a "signature" feature and which you can see in the picture.

So the moral of this story is: do at least a bit of basic research before asking questions that risk making you look a fool.

It's a cautionary exhibit for the Milan Fashion Week, reminding models what happens when they diet too strenuously. Look how long those legs are: clearly an ex supermodel.

The sculpture is called Calamita Cosmica  (“Cosmic Magnet”) created by a reclusive Italian artist called Gino de Dominicis (1947-1998) who died in Rome of a heart attack aged 51 - not long after exhibiting this work for the first time. Apparently he was fascinated by Sumerian myths and immortality.

The Italian word calamita meaning a "magnet" has an interesting etymology. It probably comes from the Latin word calamus (“reed”, “stalk’  or “straw”) because early versions of mariner compass needles were made of lodestone, and were inserted into a reed or straw to float upon a bowl of water.

Pictures can be real but the object not be authentic. In this case, a real picture of a sculpture.

Religions talk about a lot of things. Doesn’t mean much without credible evidence. Legends and myths are often exaggerations of things or events that have some (small) basis in fact.

It looks like the pelvis and knees of a male to my inexpert eye.

Interesting example of a faux ami. I gather the English word calamity comes, via Old French, from Latin calamitas, which has no connection to calamus.

Modern Italian uses the word Magnete when referring to magnets in a scientific or engineering context.

Well religion talk about great flood and science has proven there was great flood in the past. That wiped out all the big giants.

What great flood has science proven? Please provide a reference.

If you're on land and the water level rises dangerously, which group would drown first, ordinary people or Calamita Cosmica people, who are around 28 meters in height?

I implied no gender with the term supermodel. Knowing virtually nothing about supermodels, I assume there can be male supermodels and that they too are long legged. My present operating hypothesis is that the supermodels are likely descended from the race of giants which partially survived the great flood, as well as a horrific string of gardening accidents. Their thinness is actually owing to the inadequate portion sizes of all the catered food at fashion shoots. Prove me wrong!!!

There have been floods, but science has shown the impossibility of a flood that covered the world as claimed in the Bible. As I said, exaggeration of a factual event.

I was merely deducing based on the skeleton.

To show them off in slinky dresses, of course!
