In ancient times, there was a saying called "seven-foot boy", and many people were very curious about how tall the "seven-foot boy" was. According to modern unit conversion, one foot is about 33 centimeters, which means that the height of 7 feet is about 2 meters 3. In modern society, people's concept of 1 meter 8 is already very high, reaching 2 meters is already a giant-like height, and the ancients said that the height of seven feet is more than two meters, which is really difficult to accept. But in fact, the reality is not like this, according to the unit conversion of the ancients, the seven-foot boy is actually only about 1 meter 6, and it has not reached more than two meters. It can be seen that the rumor that the ancients were tall is not true, but experts once found an ancient site in the Shandong region, and found an ancient giant, expert: the height of the giant is shocking!
Giant corpses unearthed in Shandong
Although the conversion methods are different, there are indeed very tall people in the ancient period of our country, such as Guan Yu, and the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes Guan Yu's appearance in this way: "Nine feet long, two feet long, the face is like a heavy date, the lips are like grease, Dan phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, good looks, majestic." That is to say, Guan Yu's height is about 2.17, which is definitely a giant in modern times. In the last century, China's experts also found the giant's corpse in Shandong, this ancient site was discovered by experts during field investigation, and immediately after obtaining the consent of the state, it was immediately rescued and excavated, from which many precious cultural relics were excavated, providing important substantive materials for China's study of ancient civilization.
But these cultural relics are not the most important to experts, in the cleaning of the cemetery experts dug out a corpse, it is incredible that the height of this corpse bone reached more than two meters nearly three meters, this height is very rare in modern society, even the highest Yao Ming recognized by the Chinese people is only 2.26 meters, even foreigners rarely close to 3 meters in height, this discovery can be said to be very rare. The excavation of this skeleton is of great help to the study of history, allowing us to glimpse the social civilization that is so far away from us.
The identity of the giant is a mystery that has not yet been solved
Although the information provided by a skeleton is not much, at least it gives us a breakthrough understanding of ancient history, and there will certainly be more important discoveries in the future that will allow us to restore the civilization of ancient times. What is more curious than the first time is what the ancients relied on to make the height grow to 3 meters? Is there really a giant? In fact, there is no record of giants in our country. In the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the message of the giant was recorded: "The kingdom of the great man is in its north, and it is a great man, sitting and cutting the ship." "It is said that the people of the Giant Kingdom will be conceived in the belly of their mothers for 36 years before they mature and be born, and these giants will grow up to become infinitely powerful and tall.
This record is really too absurd for people to take seriously, but the appearance of this giant has to make people start to waver, maybe what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true? Did there really be giants in the age of primitive civilization? No matter how the facts are, this history is too old to be understood by us at all, and I hope that in the future scientific and technological society, our country can dig up more information about ancient history and unlock the secrets of giants!
