For several weeks, an incredible photo has been circulating on social networks. On this one, we see a huge man, almost 4 meters tall, in the middle of a crowd of other people. The grain of the picture and the way the characters are dressed makes it look very old. According to the Internet user who posted it, it was taken around 1901, and would show the “last human giant”.
Obviously, such a photo made the rounds of social networks! You can find it on this TikTok video for example, where it has been viewed over a million times! This would therefore be proof that giant human beings existed until about 100 years ago, and that their existence was hidden from us!
It’s a pretty incredible story, but it’s completely untrue. With Oh My Fake, we explain all this to you in the video placed at the top of this article.
