*A real, 21 foot tall giant was on Thailand TV news? But now it’s “just an art installation”…?*
A Thai news station reported the archaeological discovery of a real Giant’s skeleton at 6.5 meters or 21.3 feet.
Later it was claimed to be an art installation.
What do you think?
*Claim: A photograph shows the skeleton of a giant who died battling a large serpent.
Fact check by Snopes: False*

*The false claim that an image shows the archeological discovery of a giant skeleton has reemerged on social media. The claim has been circulating for several years but has been reshared in posts like this one in recent weeks.
The photograph appears to show an excavation site with a giant human-like skeleton, alongside the bones of a large snake.
On Facebook, the image has been captioned: “The skeleton of this giant was discovered in November 2017 in a cave in Krabi, Thailand. This was made public a few months ago. The skeleton appeared to have fought a big horned snake to death.”
The work was created by Taiwanese artist Tu Wei-cheng (here) for the Thailand Biennale, an international exhibition of contemporary art.
According to the Taiwan Ministry of Culture, the “Giant Ruins” sculpture “explores the boundaries between the realms of real and fictional to rethink history.”*
There you go, if the fact checkers say it’s false…
Thank you,
God bless you.
