Subject: [Fwd: Interesting discovery]
FYI. Just got this Email, only God knows better about this story, but check it out:
Recent gas exploration activity in the south east region of the Arabian desert uncovered a skeletal remains of a human of phenomenal size. This region of the Arabian desert is called the Empty Quarter, or in Arabic, 'Rab-Ul-Khalee'. The discovery was made by the Aramco Exploration team. As God states in the Quran that He had created people of phenomenal size the like of which He has not created since. These were the people of Aad where Prophet Hud was sent. They were very tall, big, and very powerful, such that they could put their arms around a tree trunk and uproot it. Later these people, who were given all the power, turned against God and the Prophet and transgressed beyond all boundaries set by God. As a result they were destroyed.
Ulema's of Saudi Arabia believe these to be the remains of the people of Aad. Saudi Military has secured the whole area and no one is allowed to enter except the ARAMCO personnel. It has been kept in secrecy, but a military helicopter took some pictures from the air and one of the pictures leaked out into the internet in Saudi Arabia. See the attachment and note the size of the two men standing in the picture in comparison to the size of the skeleton !!

Analysis: Oh, codswallop. What are the odds that a real archaeological discovery this mind-boggling would go completely unreported in the mainstream media? Answer: zilch. This is a giant hoax.
The above image first surfaced in October 2002 as an entry in a Photoshop contest run by the website Worth1000.com. It was created by altering an actual photo of a Cornell University excavation of a mastodon skeleton to make it appear that the fossilized bones belong to a 25-foot-tall human being. The text is bogus too, obviously. The version above began circulating with the image in March 2004.
The story of the Prophet Hud and the people of Aad (also spelled A'ad or 'Ad) indeed comes from the Quran, which mentions the Aad's "great" or "tall" stature among their peers — interpreted more literally by some as meaning they were actually gargantuan in size.
This and other fake photographs purporting to show the discovery of giant fossilized skeletons have also circulated under the pretext of documenting the existence of the Nephilim, an ancient race of supposed giants mentioned in the Bible.
Needless to say (or is it?), no real archaeological evidence of humans this large has ever been discovered.
