In 1988, Swiss pH๏τographer Gregor Spörri made a shocking discovery during his trip to Egypt. After meeting a family linked to tomb raiders, he paid $300 to see their secret treasures. Among them was a bizarre artifact: a mummified finger measuring 38 cm, stored in a musty old box.

The family even presented a certificate and an X-ray from the 1960s, claiming the finger belonged to a being 11.8 feet (3.6 meters) tall—something impossible by human anatomical standards. Could this be evidence of ancient giants?

EVIDENCE OF GIANTS?

1. The Astonishing Discovery

Spörri encountered the family while researching stolen artifacts in Egypt. The finger was well-preserved, with a long nail and mummified skin. The X-ray revealed clear bone structure, but the size defied all known human biology.

2. Legends of Giants

The finding echoes ancient tales like the Biblical Nephilim—hybrid beings born of “sons of God” and human women. Many cultures, from Greece to the Maya, have records of giant humanoids. Egypt itself has had reports of unusually large skeletons, but they often vanish mysteriously.

3. The Disappearing Evidence

In 2009, Spörri returned to Egypt but found the family had vanished. The giant finger and related documents were gone without a trace. Scientists remain skeptical, suggesting it could be an elaborate hoax.

AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY

The story of Egypt’s giant finger remains unexplained. Was it proof of an extinct race of giants, or just an elaborate scam? If real, why did all evidence disappear so mysteriously?
