Giant Skeleton Found: 3-5 Meters of Mystery

According to historian Mohd Fuad, he discovered some bone fragments exposed in the above-mentioned cave while searching for new archaeological relics authorized by the Malacca State Government. This finding may be evidence to support the claim that the first people who settled in Malacca, even during the Malay Kingdom, had very large body sizes.

He said that based on the size of the skull and the length of the bone fragments discovered above, it can be confirmed that this skeleton belongs to a person with a height of 3 to 5 meters.

The length of the skeleton also matches the size of the large tombs of King Ariffin and his seven warrior brothers at Pulau Besar in the state of Johor, Malaysia. These tombs have not yet been excavated, so the story of the giants remains a mystery. Research into the above find may help clarify this question.

In addition, historian Mohd Fuad also found two unusually large tombs located about 1.2 km from the aforementioned cave. These two tombs are 5 m long and 0.5 m wide and are located about 20 meters apart. However, he has not yet carried out any excavations. Instead, he has informed the authorities.

Previously, Malaysia also discovered other giant tombs at Pulau Besar, which is believed to be the resting place of Muslim leaders from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, India and Java, who came to Malacca to preach during the early days of the Malacca Kingdom.

According to Dr Mohd Jamil Mukmin, chairman of the Malaysian Historical and Patriotic Research Association, these graves are much larger than normal. The reason may be that the body size of the people buried below is too large, or they are simply buried in large graves to honour their contributions to the spread of Islam in the world. gender.

Mohd Jamil added that Pulau Upeh was once the base of Javanese religious leaders, who came to the port of Malacca to teach classes on Islam to local people and traders since the 15th century, while the giant tombs of Pulau Besar are mainly burial places of religious leaders from Yemen.
