Archaeologists in China have made a stunning discovery, finding graves bearing the ancient remains of a 'giant' people buried approximately 5,000 year ago.

The bones, uncovered during an excavation in Shandong Province in south-east China, reveal at least one male individual who would have reached 1.9 metres (6 ft, 3 in) in height, along with others measuring 1.8 metres (5 ft, 11 in) tall – making them giants in their time who would have towered over their neolithic contemporaries.

"This is just based on the bone structure," the head of Shandong University's school of history and culture, Fang Hui, explained to China's state-run news agency, Xinhua.

"If he was a living person, his height would certainly exceed 1.9 metres."

Before you get too excited and start hearing the opening music for The Twilight Zone,1.9 meters is roughly 6 feet,3 inches.

I lived in Asia for several years in the 60's,and have personally seen LIVE Chinese men taller than 6'6" tall. Lots of people don't realize this,but the Chinese population is not all of one group of people. The really tall ones of today come from a tribe in a mountainous area of China. Most seem to be really wide and heavy,too. Or at least the ones I have seen.
