https://www.theblaze.com/news/giant-hand-axes-ice-age-archaeology Archaeologists recently unearthed giant prehistoric hand axes in England. Scientists are bewildered at the sheer size of the 300,000-year-old tools and are not positive how humans from the Ice Age used the giant hand axes. The giant hand axes were crafted from flint stone and measure more than a foot long from tip to butt, plus have very thick bases. Scientists are baffled as to how prehistoric humans were able to use the large stone tools. "We think the artifacts date from an interglacial (warm period) between about 330,000 and 300,000 years ago. We have no human fossil evidence from the site, so no direct evidence of who was making it. However, we do know that Britain was populated at this time by early Neanderthal people, but there also could have been other archaic human species around." . . . Well ... there WERE supposed to be "giants" .... These artifacts don't fit even large modern humans. Now "giant" doesn't necessarily mean four or five meters tall. I'm not sure the human form could even work at that scale, circulatory problems would probably be lethal. However we see humans, athletes, pushing the 8-foot level these days. What size WOULD fit these artifacts ? 12-footers ? Something human-smart but not human ??? Gigantopithecus was BARELY that big - and has never been found outside of east asia , though they DO kinda fit the 300,000 year timeframe. Their teeth also suggest they ate little but plants, reducing the need for hand-axes. Their IQ is totally unknown, there have been no confirmed "cultural artifacts" associated with them. We can argue about myths and legends all we want, but THESE are tangible evidence. Even these sorts of hand-tools require time and effort to make ... I highly doubt some Neanderthal made them as some kind of joke. They were meant for real work by real 'people'. Close examination of the tool edges should prove very interesting. The oldest examples of anything we'd mostly call "human" were found in eastern Morocco - age about 300,000 years. However they were fairly SMALL. These tools weren't for THEM either.
