Secret History
These 4 ancient hand recycling bins were found in the palace of King Khayan of the Hyksos, a West Asian people who once ruled over part of Northern Egypt - 2 in an outer portion of the palace and 2 just outside the throne room, indicating some ceremonial importance.
So, like, what the hell?
Actually, these large to very large hands are the very first physical evidence archaeologists have found of a practice that's widely represented in ancient Egyptian art.
Soldiers would lop off the right hands of their enemies and present them to their leaders, who would ceremoniously toss the hands into a pit and then unceremoniously toss each soldier a wealth of gold in exchange.
By taking the right hand, you were symbolically stealing the source of your enemy's power and literally stealing 50 percent of his ability to flip you off.
So were those soldiers large to very large men, some sorts of GIANTS? That's interesting and appropriately brutal and all.

where you can find no mention of 'large hands' at all. And there only is one picture of hands in a pit with wooden measuring tool from which I can't figure out how big the hands actually are. I don't know if the numbers are in inches or some other scale. Perhaps some of you may look at that and bring it back here
Historical giants are a fact with pics, dialogs, and Smithsonian confiscation stories in abundance.
I have watched this subject for more than 50yrs and it is definitely taboo. Don't ask questions! This is not factual! Move along, there is nothing to see here!
Yeah, right!
So, we eliminated another species to entertain the dogma and doctrine of our still current church.
Anybody get the idea they have been played for a fool?
Hmmm!
Comment: Numerous cultures throughout history have described giants in their myths and legends. There is also abundant archeological evidence of the existence of giants, although many of these discoveries are concealed from the public. See:
