The claim of a “Shocking Discovery” of a “Mumbai Giant” is a fictional narrative and a modern hoax. There is no credible evidence to support the existence of a giant human skeleton, and all such stories and images that have circulated online have been thoroughly debunked as fabrications.

While no human giants have ever been discovered, India’s paleontological record is full of real, colossal animals. The myth of giants may have originated from ancient peoples stumbling upon the massive bones of these prehistoric creatures. Examples of such “giants” include the Gangesuchus, a colossal extinct crocodile, or the remains of giant tortoises and other megafauna that once roamed the subcontinent. These real fossils, which can be found in various parts of India, are the true “giants” that have captivated scientists for decades.

The real, and equally shocking, discoveries in the Mumbai region are in archaeology. Instead of finding fictional giants, archaeologists have unearthed ancient human settlements and artifacts dating back thousands of years. These finds provide invaluable insights into the history of human migration, trade, and culture in the region. These genuine discoveries, which tell the story of our own species and its journey, are far more profound and historically significant than any myth about a giant.
