Besides, from the scientific point of view, we cannot deny the fact that one of the giants could have had two heads, as such abnormality also rarely presents in modern humans. The authenticity of this story is still doubtful, but there is some solid proof about the existence of giants.

Later, it was sold to Lord Thomas Howard who sent the mummified body of the giant to a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, the USA for proper analysis. The body is unusual not just in its gigantic stature, but also in the fact that it has two heads. The corpse passed through the hands of many showmen until it arrived at Weston’s Birnbeck Pier, located in North Somerset in 1914. Kap Dwa is alleged to be a Patagonian giant discovered off the coast of South America. It was owned by a showman to attract audiences with a promise of unique experiences and genuine chills.

During the expedition, the sailors fired at the giant in fear, seriously injuring him. Terrified sailors decided to invade the island and head to capture the giant.
