In distant antiquity, time has left us with many unsolvable mysteries. Among them, the mystery of the ancient giants is one of them. From the record point of view, the story of ancient giants exists at home and abroad, and from the perspective of biological evolution, the emergence of giants is also possible. Were there really giants in ancient times, and what was the reason for the extinction of giants? Next, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

In ancient China, there are many records about giants, and there is a story recorded in the "Chinese": the envoys of the State of Wu, once on an envoy to the State of Yue, saw the skeleton of a giant in the Country of Vietnam. How big is the skeleton of this giant? A single bone can fill a big car. So the messenger asked Confucius for verification. Confucius told him that the giant bones seen by the messenger were very interesting. He was the leader of the ancient windproof tribe, and when Dayu convened a meeting of tribal chiefs, he was killed by Dayu's order because he was late.
What is recorded here is a giant. In the Book of Han, it is also recorded that a group of giants: in the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, 12 strange people appeared in Lintao County. These freaks wear ethnic costumes and have long beards on their faces. Importantly, they reached five feet tall and six feet long. These giants also do not communicate with the locals, nor do they have contact. No one knows where they came from, where they went, or what group they were. Later, these people went to the mountains together and never came out again. It is said that Qin Shi Huang collected the world's weapons and forged 12 golden people who were related to these giants.
In addition to the records, there have also been archaeological discoveries of giants. "Shengjing Daily" reported on October 8, 1921: When people were digging a water canal in Daminghao, Xicheng, Beijing, eight giant skeletons were found underground at No. 40 downwind. According to measurements at the time, each of these bones was close to 3 meters, and the head was the size of a bull's head. Experts estimate that these people were all above 3 meters before they died. It is said that it caused a great sensation at that time, and many newspapers at home and abroad reported on it.
Therefore, in ancient times, there should indeed be giants on the earth. But how did these giants disappear?
Xiaobian believes that there are three main reasons for the disappearance of giants. One is because the giants are taller and more powerful than ordinary people, so in war, in line with the principle of making the best use of people, every time they line up to meet the enemy, the giants will be placed in front, on the one hand, as the image spokesman of the army, on the other hand, as a meat shield, when crashing. Even if you die in battle and fall, you can use it as a large cover. As a result, the giants who almost went up to the battlefield basically had only one ending in the end, that is, they were killed first. Even in the era of cold weapons without guns, the soldiers of the Giant Legion were difficult to keep even the complete corpse after death because of the charge.
The second possibility is that the giants were used as construction machines. At the end of the war, the giants were tall and powerful, and they were usually sent to the site of large-scale infrastructure projects, such as building the Great Wall and repairing palaces. In ancient times, they were undoubtedly the best cranes, transport vehicles. And the place where they were sent was likely to be a bitter cold place such as the border. In this way, the giants either do not adapt to the local climate and are gradually consumed by death, or they are exhausted after years of hard work.
The third possibility is that once the new regime is successfully established, the rulers will consolidate their new regime. The knives and guns are still in storage, and the horses can also be released back to Nanshan. And these simple armed people can become giants who can turn the end of the war, and their existence will only make the new rulers sleep badly. As a result, the giants have only one end - to be completely destroyed. Experiencing the elimination and selection of nature, the ultimate cause of the disappearance of the giants that once survived has yet to be further archaeological discoveries and studies. Look forward to the day when the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient giants can have a perfect answer.
