The sensational news is published by the German edition BILD. Allegedly, in Egypt, the remains of a mummified finger of a creature similar to a person, but much larger in size, were discovered.
Until April 1, it seems, is still a long way off, so it doesn't look like a rally. The finger is 38 centimeters (13.8 inches) long. A banknote is attached for size comparisons. According to the publication, the photos were taken back in 1988, but are published for the first time and only in this German newspaper.
Photo by Gregor Spörri, a Swiss entrepreneur and passionate admirer of everything ancient Egyptian. According to him, in 1988 in Egypt, a private supplier promised to introduce him to the robber of ancient graves. A meeting was held 100 kilometers northeast of Cairo in a small rural house in Bir Hooker, where the Swiss was shown a finger wrapped in old rags.
“It was a smelly oblong bag. I was amazed at what I saw. I was allowed to take the relic in my hands and photograph it. For size comparisons, I have placed my banknote (Egyptian £ 20 bill) next to it. The finger was dry and weighed surprisingly little. I felt a lump in my throat. Incredible. In size, the creature's full height would probably be at least 5 meters …"
As proof of the authenticity of the relic, the tomb robber showed a photo with an X-ray of his finger. It was dated back to the 60s. The certificate of authenticity of the find (?) Was of a similar date. The Swiss begged to sell him a finger, but the robber did not agree, claiming that these were too important values for his family. Sperry flew out of Egypt with nothing.

Further, he tried to interest various museums with his photographs, but he was dismissed as an annoying fly.
“They said that the relic did not fit into their theory,” the Swiss told the German edition.
In 2009, Sperry eagerly returned to Beer Hooker to find his finger again. But he could not find a seller. Throughout the years, Sperry, in a passion, read all the stories about ancient giants that he could find. Were there giants in Egypt? Roman historian Josephus Flavius in 79 AD wrote that the last representatives of the race of giants lived in the XIII century BC. e. under King Joshua: "Their bodies were huge, their faces differed from ordinary human ones so much that it was amazing to see them, but to hear them speak is scary …".
The find shocked Sperry so much that in 2008 he gave up his profession and started a book about giants, which he recently published (in connection with which the newspaper apparently wrote about the finger). The book is called “The Lost God. Day of Destiny "(" The Lost God. Tag der Verdammnis ") and is a mystical historical thriller based on Sperry's fantasies.
“I'm not a scientist,” Sperry says honestly. “So I deliberately didn't write about the relic in a scientific style. Let the readers read for themselves and decide what to think.
