Russian researchers discover giants' graves in Syria

[emad]

The grave of Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve, is the most famous and significant grave

A group of Russian scientists with Professor Ernst Muldashev at the head set off for an expedition to Syria, Lebanon and Egypt in the beginning of this year. Having visited many historical places of interest, the scientists tried to unravel the biggest mysteries of the human civilization. The research yielded sensational results. Researchers discovered the graves of gigantic people after the expedition found a giant's footprints in Syria.

Q: Many a legend and fairy tale say about giants and titans. Why do you think no giant bones have been found so far?

A: Ancient giants may have never buried their dead in the ground the way we do. Different people in the present-day world bury the dead differently. It is a custom in India to burn the dead and throw the ashes in water. It seems to me that ancient people put the dead bodies into sarcophaguses where the bodies dematerialized and turned into a kind of energy blobs that were used by living people for various purposes. That is why the bones of giant people may never be found.

Q: Did you find any?

A: No, we did not. But we found the graves of ancient giants.

Q: Could you please elaborate

A: The grave of Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve, is the most famous and significant grave. It is located in the vicinity of Damascus. A huge number of pilgrims from Arabian countries arrive here to worship. Druzes, members of an independent religious sect, have been guarding the grave for 300 years. They speak Syriac, a form of Aramaic used by various Eastern Churches. Jesus Christ spoke Aramaic at his time.

5. Old Russian joke: "Archaeologists announced today that

they had discovered the graves of Adam and Eve. The bodies had been found to be perfectly preserved and scientific investigation confirmed that this was THE authentic grave of the first humans on earth." "How did the scientists know that it was Adam and Eve?" "Because the preserved bodies had no belly-buttons"....

4. Is it April 1st already?

So no bones have been found of giants, no excavation of graves have been done, and we are relying on stories of giants from oral tradition to inform us on their existence.

7.5 meters is what, 22 feet tall? That is hard to swallow.

8. There's an engineering case to be made...

...that a 22 foot tall biped is not structurally feasible in Earth gravity.

It's called "Science News."

Apparently they take this stuff seriously over there.
