Experts have found a necropolis of the Byzantine Empire in the Crimea, where the tomb of a giant was located during archaeological investigations.
Archaeological excavation activity began nearby, while Mithridates’ staircase at Kerch underwent further repairs.
This exposed a necropolis of up to 100 square meters and contained the tombs of people who visited the shrine of John the Baptist.
So far, 27 graves have been found, including several twin and infant graves. as well
as additional components such as bronze bracelets or pendants.
They even discovered felt clothing in one of the graves. They were able to date the item, which was incredibly beneficial.
Giant’s tomb in the necropolis
Finding a burial box more than 2.30 meters long made the find, which was already unusual, considerably strange. They discovered what appeared to be the skeleton of a giant when they unearthed it.
Finding the skeleton of a guy over six feet tall is inconsistent with the facts, given the average physical characteristics of the inhabitants in the past.
There is no way to explain how the bones of this giant were buried in the region, since the average height of the population at the time was 1.60 meters.
The team’s anthropologist analyzed the bones in an attempt to determine the age of the individual buried there.
The remains need to be examined to determine where they came from. Difficult digging
The difficult and diverse terrain made excavation operations difficult and slow. In the old days, garbage was just thrown on the ground.
So, on top of all the ancient ruins, the necropolis was built in the Middle Ages. Because of this, archaeologists have found it difficult to pinpoint the specific origin of anything they have discovered.
Experts are currently negotiating with the diocese of Kerch-Feodosia to be able to recover the discovered bones and study them further.
The origin of the mysterious skeleton and the cause of its exaggerated size are still being investigated by experts. figuring out an explanation for its inception as well.
Despite the fact that traditional archaeology seeks to keep these types of artifacts hidden, giants were present in many ancient societies. However, finds like the one made in Crimea prove that they existed.
