After carefully examining the giant bones, Confucius replied, "I heard that when Dayu was in charge of water control, he ordered the leaders of all tribes in the world to attend a meeting in Huiji. The leader of the headwind family is very tall, but he is late. Dayu was furious and ordered the leader of the headwind family to be put to death. This bone belongs to the leader of the anti-wind family. " It can be seen that giants did exist in history, and their fossils were unearthed in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are records about the existence of giants on the earth not only in China, but also in other parts of the world.
There are records and legends of giants all over the world. In more than 400 BC, Herodotus recorded in the History of Persian War that some complete giant bones had been unearthed in Europe at that time.
In the famous Greek epic Odyssey, it is also written that the Greek hero Odysseus met the cyclops on the island. The Bible Genesis also records: "There were giants on the earth at that time." In America, the myth about giants is more common. According to the legend of local Indians, these giants were very ferocious and once invaded the Inca Empire, which brought heavy disasters to the Inca Empire.
So how tall are these giants? The jade version of the chart says that "Longbo people are thirty feet long", and the natural history records: "In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shihuang, there were twelve adults. Lintao found that they were five feet long and six feet long." We calculate according to Qin's ruler. The Qin ruler is about 23 centimeters, 30 feet long, that is, more than 69 meters, 50 feet long, that is, 1 1 meter, and one foot 6 feet long, that is, 1.3 meters. Where did these giants come from? According to the fact that ancient great ape fossils have been found on the earth, it is concluded that the so-called giants in ancient books are those great apes that have disappeared. However, there are two doubts about this inference: first, three kinds of great ape fossils found in the world today are Indian files; Wuming and Liucheng in China and Jianshi Gaoping in Hubei. Among them, the excavation data of Jianshi is more detailed, and more than 300 great ape fossils have been unearthed in * * *. From the research of anatomical restoration, the skeletal structure of these great apes is similar to that of apes, with teeth four times larger than that of modern people, long forelimbs and short hind limbs, and they can't walk upright at all, and their weight can reach 150-300 kg.
