Real or a Hoax? |
This mummified giant finger was found in Egypt in 1988 by Gregor Sporri. The finger was said to be 40 centimeters long (about 16 inches). Some estimate the finger would have had to come off of something about 16 feet tall. Some suggested it might have come from a creature similar to Gigantopithecus Blacki, which is thought to be a gigantic ape species.
According to the story, the scientists were allowing people (Newsgroups) to take pictures. One of the men who came in to take pictures allegedly stole the finger. So now no one knows for sure if it was real or a hoax.
