It turns out there were, however, a modern man “giant growth” seems, to put it mildly, small enough to use such a loud definition.
And yet judge for yourself: the highest pharaoh of ancient Egypt Sa Nacht, who ruled the country almost 5 thousand years ago, was a growth of 187 centimeters, although the average man at that far time did not grow above 160 centimeters.
So Sa Nacht, whose bones were discovered in 1901 near Beit Hallaf, about a hundred kilometers from Luxor, was for that time a real giant ruler. Even comparatively tall pharaoh Ramses II who ruled Ancient Egypt through a thousand years after Sa-Nacht, there was only 175 centimeters of growth.
University of Zurich Professor Francesco Galassi (Francesco Galassi) believes that the high growth of the pharaoh Sa-Nacht was caused by hormonal failure. This case is interesting even in the sense that this is the oldest case of such a disease known science.
True, Egyptologists disagree with the statement Swiss scientist, some believe that the pharaohs in general differed from ordinary inhabitants of ancient Egypt, and stood out they are often not only tall, but also strange elongated head shape. So it could well be representatives of more ancient civilization of the earth, for example, preserved Atlantes.
Unfortunately, no one can neither confirm nor deny such a seemingly fantastic assumption, and scientists specify that the highest pharaoh is Sa Nakht, does not have one hundred percent evidence.
