CRYPTO HUMAN

 

Giant human skeleton found in Saudi Arabia

An enormous human-like skeleton has been uncovered by a gas exploration team in Saudi Arabia, according to a Bangladeshi independent news source.
Workers from the Saudi national oil company Aramco made the discovery in the deserts of south east Saudi in a region called Rab al-Qalee or Empty Quarter.
It has been reported that Saudi military have closed off the area allowing only Aramco personnel throught the perimeter.
 
EXPLANATION: The image first surfaced as an entry in an October 2002 Photoshop contest run by Worth1000.com. It was created by manipulating an actual photo of a Cornell University excavation of a mastodon skeleton.
The text, which is obviously bogus (apart from the loosely synopsized Qur'an story of the Prophet Hud and the people of Aad), was created much later and first found circulating with the photo in March 2004.
