115
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:10,322
It was not until his remains were discovered
116
00:05:10,422 --> 00:05:12,735
that the theory was put into question
117
00:05:12,835 --> 00:05:13,363
however
118
00:05:13,463 --> 00:05:17,865
as the skeletal structure and size of the ancient king showed Egyptologists
119
00:05:17,965 --> 00:05:21,630
that the ancient King's Son Act was actually a victim of gigantism
120
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:24,521
Gigantism in the scientific world
121
00:05:24,621 --> 00:05:26,395
refers to a special condition
122
00:05:26,495 --> 00:05:30,167
in which an individual experiences is excessive growth hormone
123
00:05:30,267 --> 00:05:31,566
during their childhood
124
00:05:31,666 --> 00:05:33,344
usually caused by an adenoma
125
00:05:33,444 --> 00:05:35,797
known as a tumor on the pituitary gland
126
00:05:35,897 --> 00:05:36,976
In the modern day
127
00:05:37,076 --> 00:05:39,588
this has led to individuals ranging in height
128
00:05:39,688 --> 00:05:41,973
from 7 feet to an incredible 9 feet tall
129
00:05:42,073 --> 00:05:45,380
The largest recorded height only recently made in 1940
130
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,238
Another interesting fact to look at
131
00:05:48,338 --> 00:05:51,092
is the depiction of the builders of the pyramids
132
00:05:51,192 --> 00:05:53,059
in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics
133
00:05:53,159 --> 00:05:55,827
It is a common fact known amongst Egyptologists
134
00:05:55,927 --> 00:05:58,061
that the ruling class of ancient Egypt
135
00:05:58,161 --> 00:06:02,219
was often depicted as two to three times the size of the average population
136
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:04,081
This is believed to be
137
00:06:04,181 --> 00:06:06,244
due to the importance of the figure
138
00:06:06,344 --> 00:06:10,383
and so it was a requirement to depict the ruling class in such a manner
139
00:06:10,483 --> 00:06:10,975
However
140
00:06:11,075 --> 00:06:15,398
it could be that these depictions were far more accurate than previously known
141
00:06:15,498 --> 00:06:19,180
and the ruling class of Egypt could have been advanced race of giants
142
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,801
Back in 820 AD
143
00:06:20,901 --> 00:06:22,831
the Sultan El Rashid Al Mamun
144
00:06:22,931 --> 00:06:25,159
dedicated to open the Great Pyramid
145
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:26,685
upon which he was told
146
00:06:26,785 --> 00:06:29,492
that the structure had been built by giants
147
00:06:29,592 --> 00:06:31,787
who were referred to as the shed eye
148
00:06:31,887 --> 00:06:34,718
which roughly translated to superhuman beings
149
00:06:34,818 --> 00:06:36,652
and that within these pyramids
150
00:06:36,752 --> 00:06:40,260
they had stored a great treasure beyond the knowledge of man
151
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:43,603
Given these strange discoveries of gigantism
152
00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:47,602
that researchers are only now beginning to understand in the modern day
153
00:06:47,702 --> 00:06:49,025
there are many wondering
154
00:06:49,125 --> 00:06:52,894
if the ancient depictions of giants from the past could have been true
155
00:06:52,994 --> 00:06:56,437
Depictions of creatures often seen as strange and possessing power
156
00:06:56,537 --> 00:06:58,390
that may not have been entirely human
157
00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:04,711
The Newport Tower
158
00:07:04,811 --> 00:07:05,670
Rhode Island
159
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:09,520
Found in the Toro Park located in Newport, RI
160
00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:12,430
there stands the remains of an old stone windmill
161
00:07:12,530 --> 00:07:15,609
that was once used as a major ammunition storage depot
162
00:07:15,709 --> 00:07:17,827
during the American Revolutionary War
163
00:07:17,927 --> 00:07:21,644
and stands as a symbol in the modern day of American independence
164
00:07:21,744 --> 00:07:26,102
Although many might dismiss it as another historical site of American history
165
00:07:26,202 --> 00:07:29,376
the tower itself has been at the center of intense debate
166
00:07:29,476 --> 00:07:30,722
relative to the reveal
167
00:07:30,822 --> 00:07:32,641
that its construction is believed
168
00:07:32,741 --> 00:07:35,583
to have predated the European colonization of the area
169
00:07:35,683 --> 00:07:38,900
and have been built by pre-Columbian Transoceanic Contacts4475
