These quotes immediately provoke heated disagreement, so it would be best for us to keep an open mind and focus on the data.

At that time, this was a desolate region of South Africa known as the Eastern Transvaal, which was full of animals such as antelopes and lionesses.

It is still found in the same state as when it was discovered and the probability of it being a hoax is extremely minimal due to its isolated location. Even now, it is rare to find it.

The real mystery is how this incredible phenomenon happened – we have no idea – but it is here and we cannot wish it away.

Yes, it is gray; it is the most well-known geological feature in South Africa and is represented on all geological maps; that is why its trace is a mystery.

Robert Schoch standing near the strange graffiti print that has been controversially interpreted as a giant.

It can be described as “feo-crystic” graphite or as coarse porphyritic graphite that has undergone several cooling phases. The final product is a complex mixture of coarse and fine graphite.

This is why graphite traders want to extract it from this place, since the graphite will appear more “beautiful” once pale.

This outcrop is known as Mpυlυzi (Graphite) Batholith in South African geology, and official dating of this rock revealed dates of approximately 3.1 billion years.

“This is a true enigma that requires precise scientific investigation.”

The strange Magellanic specter with the 3-meter giants of Patagonia

In 1520, Ferdinand Magellan took time out of his busy schedule of sailing around the world to stop in what is now Patagogue, where he found the lost giant dancing and falling on the shore. Magellan ordered one of his men to make contact (the emissary’s somewhat hilarious reaction to this has unfortunately been lost to history) and to be sure to reciprocate the dances and cacophony to demonstrate friendship.

He failed. The man managed to guide the giant to a small island on the high seas, where the great captain was waiting for him. A scholar who accompanied him on the voyage, Atopio Pigafetta, described the scene and kept a diary of the trip that later became the book Magellan’s Voyage: A Narrative Account of Magellan’s First Circumnavigation: “When he was in front of us, he began to marvel and be afraid, and he raised his finger upwards, believing that we were seeing something from the sky. And he was so tall that the tallest of us only reached his summit,” and he had a powerful, resounding voice. The illustration above proves it: Patagoia was once inhabited by giants who dwarfed the celestial Europeans who would come to conquer them.

Okay, maybe it’s not irrefutable proof, but it could well be that the people Magellan encountered, the Tehélches, were in fact giants, and that therefore this myth has some basis in reality. And our faithful explorer would try to bring back proof in the most unpleasant way imaginable.
