DNA?  From a sculpture that was commissioned to be "anatomically correct" and "to scale" from those reportedly found in the 1950's?

Not that easy.

Oops! I guess there's no supporting evidence then.  Where did the original bones disappear to?

Years ago folks were much smaller... case in fact, go to the Alamo and look at Davey (David) Crokett's clothes..... very small indeed.

Absolutely positively one of the best comedy routines EVER.

Its even better if you get to catch a video of cosby doing it.
THE perfect facial expressions only accentuate it.

One of my best parts. is when "Noah" is giving God a hard time about collecting the animals

::God:: "How long can you tread water? hehehehe"


Here is an audio only version of the routine

It's hard being Green.... *note* You never see Al Gore and Kermit at the same time.... things that make you say Hmmmmm....

Darth = Al Gore: "Hhhhh... Come here my Pretty...Hhhhh"

Enter John Edwards pic flash combing his hair...: Auntie Em, Auntie Emm.....

Enter Nancy Pelosi: as a Flying Monkey, Sheehan and Ted Kennady... no dammm directions...but Ted can get off the ground and runs off a bridge into a River.... Nancy barks at the Moon and Sheehan...is still Sheehan.

Human average height was vastly varying up and down during the history. Climate, nutrition, diseases had all a long term impact on average human heights.
In the early middle ages, european people were considerably taller than their descendants in the late middle ages, the low point being in the 17th & 18th centuries

And if you decide to go into it deeper I beleive you will find that it also coincides with climate shifting.
Mainly the warming and cooling of the earth.

Doa  search on the "mini ice age"
There are several really good articles written on the subject

I agree that human physiology wouldn't support a 16 ft body.  A giraffe's cardiovascular set up is adapted to such an extreme.  DNA extraction analysis would prove it a hoax.

You're probably right there. But unlike the norm, the guy was very strong and fit!
Lived to be an old man.
We had a copy of the ring he used to wear, - I have normal fingers, or rather strong probably, - and I could fit some 3 through it!
