Scientists all over the world are trying to explain the mysterious finds of archaeologists - giant human bones.
Today, scientists are increasingly saying that we know nothing about the past of our planet. And all ideas about what creatures inhabited it are extremely superficial. More and more new findings of archaeologists force researchers to seriously discuss the fact that tens of thousands of years ago people or humanoid creatures with a height of 3-5 meters, or even more meters, lived on Earth.
It would be impossible to believe in it if it were not for the ancient bones found by the Austrian archaeologist Klaus Dona.
This statement was made possible by the human calcaneus. No animal, including monkeys, has bones of this kind.
When Klaus showed the remains to experts and doctors, they were very surprised, but confirmed that the bones can only belong to humans. The bones are over 10 thousand years old.
If giants really inhabited our planet, then where did they go? The answer to this question can be given by a find made in Yakutia. Scientists have found a mammoth that has lain in the permafrost layer for about 12 thousand years. The animal was perfectly preserved, so much so that undigested food remained in the stomach. This means that the animal died instantly, and not from starvation due to a sharp cold snap and the onset of ice, as previously assumed. Perhaps it was some kind of global catastrophe - the fall of an asteroid, for example, after which everything on ancient Earth changed beyond recognition.
Another proof of this is the recent discovery in Brazil. There, near Rio de Janeiro, builders accidentally discovered another dinosaur unknown to science that lived on our planet. This dinosaur was a giant reptile. How exactly she looked is still unknown. But it was possible to find out that the animal ate grass.

All the same Klaus Dona in Bolivia made another strange discovery - the burial of people about 2 meters 60 or 80 centimeters tall.
It is generally accepted that modern man descended from a monkey and Homo sapiens is the highest representative of our civilization. But then how to explain all these findings? After all, the bones of giants are found not only in Bolivia and Ecuador. In the summer of 2008, in Georgia, local residents discovered the huge remains of an ancient man. Director of the Institute of Paleobiology, academician Abesalom Vekua was very intrigued by this discovery.
At first glance, it was clear: the growth of this creature reached three meters.
In addition to the leg bones, scientists have at their disposal the humerus, jaw, and teeth of a giant. That is, there is no doubt that these are human bones. This news then, several years ago, spread across all TV channels.
Scientists say dinosaurs evolved around 235 million years ago - long before humans. This means that no one has ever seen a living dinosaur. However, the latest discoveries of archaeologists are turning the usual ideas about our past.
In Turkmenistan, not far from the village of Khoja-pil-ata, scientists immediately discovered 2500 fossilized dinosaur tracks. There is no such number of prints anywhere else. But the most incredible thing is that among the numerous three-toed tracks left by ancient lizards, several five-toed ones were discovered, which reached a length of 60 centimeters. According to calculations, the creature that left them should have been almost 5 meters tall.
In Peru, near the city of Ica in the burials of the leaders, painted granite stones were found. Pictures from the life of ancient people are engraved on them.
In Mexico, near the town of Acambaro, antiquities were discovered in 1945, which made one think about the correctness of the theory of human development. These are Acambaro figurines - more than 30 thousand clay dinosaur sculptures. Among them there are easily recognizable prehistoric reptiles, as well as unknown winged animals, so reminiscent of European dragons. They are all depicted in motion, with great precision. Where did the ancients who made these images have such an accurate idea of what dinosaurs looked like?
The first dating of the figures showed that they were made 4 and a half thousand years ago. It is also claimed that during the excavations several human skulls, the remains of a mammoth and an ice age horse were found.
Some scientists doubt the authenticity of the find, but the facts tell a different story. Many stone fragments show traces of erosion, which indicates a long stay underground. Also, the figurines were fired on an open fire, which means that a lot of wood was needed for the manufacture, which is now practically absent in the Akambaro area.
Not so long ago, another proof appeared that in the era of dinosaurs people or creatures very similar to you and me could live. On the Kathiawar Peninsula, which is located in the Arabian Sea, in 1983, researchers of the ocean depths discovered unusual stone blocks that have a regular geometric shape. The hewn stones were not just scattered across the ocean floor, they seemed to create a whole complex of underwater structures.
In the course of careful research, it turned out that the perfectly carved blocks may be of artificial origin. When scientists managed to establish the age of the find, they began to call it the real discovery of the century. It turned out that the approximate age of the underwater ruins is 12,000 years. After many years of research and long-term expeditions, archaeologists even managed to create a three-dimensional computer model of an ancient structure, which was a harbor.
But, according to the theory officially accepted in the scientific community, 12,000 years ago man was still very primitive. And I could not build such structures from stone. Moreover, such a huge size and without the use of special equipment. Well, unless they were gigantic.
Once upon a time, everything on Earth was gigantic. The trees could reach hundreds of meters. And the size of the mushrooms reached six to eight meters in height.
In May 2014, archaeologists discovered a dinosaur cemetery on an Argentine farm 260 kilometers east of Trelew. Scientists said that among the remains were found the bones of a titanosaur - the most gigantic dinosaur that has ever lived on Earth. Its height was 20 meters, and its weight was 77 tons. That is how much 14 African elephants weigh.
The answer to the question why everything was such a great scientist was given by ordinary amber. In ancient deposits of this mineral, air bubbles are conserved. It turned out that in the era of the dinosaurs, the atmosphere contained more oxygen than today - about 33% versus 21% today.
Experts Robert Berner of Yale University and Harry Landis of the American Geological Society have calculated that the level of oxygen in the atmosphere has varied greatly over the entire history of the planet. About 300 million years ago, it rose to 35%, then fell, then rose again to 25% during the Cretaceous - 100 million years ago. And in an atmosphere with 30 percent oxygen, life looks different.
For a long time, modern science has argued that 65 million years ago, our planet collided with a huge meteorite. A space body about 10 kilometers in size crashed into the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, as a result of which volcanic eruptions began on earth, a tsunami several kilometers high. Huge columns of dust and burning for several decades obscured the sunlight, gradually the planet began to cool down, turning into an ice ball. The dinosaurs that inhabited the earth did not survive a terrible catastrophe, and their huge population disappeared without a trace.
The Chicxulub crater is located in Mexico. Its diameter is 180 kilometers, its age is 65 million years. It was this crater, according to scientists, formed after the fall of a meteorite, which led to the death of all dinosaurs. Recently, however, American seismologists have created a unique model that repeats the shape of the earth, which was 65 million years ago. They calculated the height of the mountains, the depth of the oceans, everything that allowed them to trace how the seismic waves generated by the meteorite impact moved across the planet. Their calculations showed that the impact of a cosmic body on the earth was 2 million times more powerful than the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, but even this power would not have been enough for irreversible processes to begin on the entire planet, which led to the complete disappearance of all living things.
More and more scientists agree that the hypothesis of a meteorite attack does not hold water. After all, as the geological data show, similar cosmic bodies have repeatedly fallen on our planet. One of the last happened about 35 million years ago: according to scientists' calculations, at least three large meteorites fell with a short time interval. The first of them hit the territory of Siberia, as a result of which the famous Popigai crater was formed, the diameter of which is about 100 kilometers. The second hit eastern North America. This is how a giant crater arose, called the Chesapeake. The third meteorite, scientists believe, fell in Toms Canyon, near the current city of Atlantic City. Its crater diameter is about 20 kilometers. But what is the result? Despite the massive bombardment of the Earth,no significant cataclysms and mass extinctions occurred 35 million years ago.
But if not the fall of a celestial body, then what killed the dinosaurs? According to another version, as a result of powerful volcanic eruptions, a colossal release of gases and ash into the atmosphere occurred, which caused the cold.
However, today this theory seems fantastic to many scientists. Indeed, as the latest calculations by climatologists show, this process would be protracted, which would allow dinosaurs to easily adapt to changing conditions. But that did not happen.
Today, some researchers believe that the main reason for the disappearance of dinosaurs on Earth was increased gravity.
It is believed that the most feared lone predator of the dinosaur era was the tyrannosaurus. Its body length is 15 meters, its height is almost 7 meters, and the tyrannosaurus weighed about 8 tons. On a day, such a monster needed at least 60 kilograms of meat, which is why he was called the most terrible killer among the ancient reptiles.
But over time, under the influence of external factors, the appearance of dinosaurs began to change. The bones became smaller, the brain, on the contrary, increased, and the whole body began to be covered with a thick cover of feathers or wool. This theory was recently confirmed by unusual finds in the Chita region. There, paleontologists discovered a whole cemetery of dinosaurs that were not at all like their counterparts. Scientists found that the bodies of these dinosaurs were covered in feathers. But the most incredible thing is that these dinosaurs, compared to all other species, were just Lilliputians.
Moreover, paleontologists found out that the dinosaurs found belonged to the order of carnivores. But who could these little monsters hunt? In terms of bloodlust these schools of small dinosaurs were not inferior to the ferocious tyrannosaurs, paleontologists from England are sure of this, who discovered the smallest dinosaur in the world in the south of the country. The fossil reptile was less than 40 centimeters long, and, according to experts, weighed about 200 grams during its lifetime. Although scientists had only the posterior cervical vertebra at their disposal, they were able to roughly describe the creature. Apparently, it was a predator whose body was partially covered with feathers.
After these finds, some researchers put forward a version that it was the small dinosaurs that became one of the main reasons that their giant cousins became extinct. The fact is that it was difficult for large dinosaurs to keep track of their offspring. This was used by small predators that ate eggs and baby dinosaurs.
Some scientists believe that gravity is constantly increasing on our planet. And if this is really so, then this may mean that humanity, just like dinosaurs, risks perishing under its onslaught. According to scientists' calculations, in the event of an increase in gravity, the appearance of a person of the future will radically change. If you believe this theory, then perhaps the giant people, whose bones were found in different parts of the planet, died out just like dinosaurs. They were simply ousted by other bipeds - much smaller.
