This tall giant island is Martinique in the Eastern Caribbean, a typical tropical island that is currently an overseas province of France.
martinique
In 1502, in the third voyage of the famous navigator Columbus, he found the island, and claimed that its sovereignty belonged to the Spanish royal family, from then on Martinique, began the tragic experience of nearly a hundred years of colonization, through history, it is not difficult to know that in the process of black trade, there are many black people due to natural disasters, diseases, hunger, colonists' atrocities, etc., most of them died in the middle of the road, and very few of them can reach their destination.
Triangular trade
On the night of April 7, 1830, a slave ship crashed into a reef and sank into the sea, killing many black slaves. Then the Martinique sculptor Laurent erected more than a dozen stone figures on the hillside by the sea where his father had an accident, and these stone people had a characteristic: "straightening their waists, bowing their heads, kneeling on the ground, facing the sea", and since then there has been a custom on the island - never bending down, even if the most precious things fall on the ground, you can not "bend down and bow your head". The custom has been preserved to this day, adding a unique culture to the island.
The stone people of the island
According to the data of 2021, the world's average male height is the highest in the Netherlands up to 182.5 cm, while the average highest female in Latvia is 170 cm, while in our country in the 18 to 44 years old age group, the average height of men is 169.7 cm, the average height of women is 158 cm, even in the age group of 20 to 25 years old, as a best reference, relative to the Philbara people on Maktiny Island, it is not worth mentioning at all!
The average height of males aged 20 to 25 in China
The average height of women aged 20 to 25 in China
On the other hand, the average height on Martinique: "the average height of men is more than 1.9 meters, and the average height of women is more than 1.74 meters", which can indeed be proud of the world. If the young man on this island is less than one meter eight tall, he will become the object of ridicule by his peers.
And not only people, but even the animals and plants on the island grow very fast, which is simply incredible. Some of the island's small animals have grown several times more than usual in the 10 years since 1948, especially mice, which are as big as cats.
This island can not only make the locals grow taller, foreign tourists here, after living for a period of time will also grow tall to 3 to 10 centimeters, once more than 40 years old Brazilian zoologist Felipe, after staying on the island for three months, when leaving the island is 4 centimeters taller than before, 60-year-old French scientist Dr. Greix and his 57-year-old assistant Dr. Rilian, after living on the island for two years, also increased by 8.25 centimeters and 6.6 centimeters, respectively, because of this miracle, Martinique was once called " Islands that can make people grow taller" and "islands that increase heights" attract countless tourists every year. Many people who have been frustrated by their height and inferiority have found a place of spiritual belonging, and this has become the most desirable place for "short people" who are eager to grow tall again.
Later, scientists conducted a series of explorations on this mysterious island, and even came up with a bizarre conjecture - gravity effects, the small gravity of this island, which contributes to people's height. Some scientists have come up with theoretical evidence: "There were two Soviet astronauts who stayed on the International Space Station for half a year, both grew three centimeters tall, and the analysis was affected by gravity"; some people believed that "a large number of radioactive minerals - mesa crystals are buried on the island, which can change human body functions to a certain extent and stimulate the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone", and what is even more outrageous is: "Some people think that the alien spacecraft once landed here, affected by the radiation of the spacecraft falling debris, changed the bodily functions of the locals"; however, none of these speculations can be fully confirmed at this time.
So the question is, is there really a somatolite that can make people grow tall? Yes, but it is said that the energy emitted by the overall mine of symite is strange and difficult to probe, and it is unknown whether it can make people grow taller!
In fact, this lie that "black crystal can make people grow tall" was punctured by professionals at a very early age (Dr. Glayware found experiments with mice and teenagers in the growth period), many people went to the island, did not grow tall, and since 2000 the island has not been censused, how to average height statistics! From a normal medical point of view: "After the epiphyseal line of adults is closed, it basically stops growing, unless it is increased by some large bone surgery." The reason why I don't know is because those scientists have not understood the "black crystal", and I am not good at blindly drawing conclusions. (But people's height can indeed be assisted by some growth drugs at a young age, and it is more affected by genetic factors.) ）
In fact, after the discovery of the solitary, it was the local tourism management department deliberately engaged in gimmicks, publicized around the world, in order to promote tourism there, this lie has a huge impact, probably since 2011, some people on the Internet began to hype the island can grow tall magical phenomenon, and even I also found some depictions of the island in a certain year's version of the "Five Years..., Three Years" true inscription book, and then did not say that it was false, and people who did not know were really "devils".
Despite the broken lies, it has become a paradise for many divers with its unique natural and cultural resources, and has also attracted tourists from all over the world to vacation there!
