Folklore and legends have been repeated throughout history, picturing vast cities built and inhabited by giants. A large number of megalithic constructions from various periods of history, as well as the traditions of many communities separated by seas, strongly support their presence.

The truly remarkable aspect of this Ethiopian region is its legacy of gigantic constructions built of giant blocks that encircle the Harlaa site, leading to widespread speculation that it was formerly home to a famous City of Giants.

Harlaa’s fabled lost city

Anthropologists discovered evidence in far-flung locations such as Egypt, India, and China, indicating the region’s trading capabilities. Experts also uncovered a mosque from the 12th century identical to those in Tanzania and an autonomous Somaliiland area, which is not recognized by the UN. These findings highlight a probable link between various Islamic groups in Africa during that period.

In terms of archaeology, a professor from the University of Exeter acknowledges that the findings had a significant impact on understanding the population and economic operations in Ethiopia’s long-abandoned area. The fact that it was a well-known commercial center further adds to its significance.

Based on the information provided, it seems that the Harlaa people were convinced that the colossal could move the stone blocks needed to create their region’s structures. However, after examining over 300 skeletal remains in nearby cemeteries, including adults and teens, experts came to the conclusion that these individuals were not giants at all, according to their average stature and height.

Locals, on the other hand, refuse to accept the archaeologists’ argument, claiming that they are not convinced. To be honest, this isn’t the first time that contemporary science has discarded a centuries-old tradition as nothing more than folklore. We don’t know how the indigenous people are so convinced about the hypothesis of the giants because they don’t seem to be interested in fabricating such stories.

Even while there is no proof of giants in the tombs, this does not rule out the idea that giants were involved in the construction of the site. Many people think that these creatures were not buried together with stones. Others, on the other hand, disagree.

In Mesoamerican mythology, the Quinametzin were a type of colossal entities associated with erecting the mythical metropolis of Teotihuacan, which was revered by the gods of the sun. Large cities, monuments, and gigantic structures – all variants on this subject – can be found in every corner of the globe, perplexing scientists who are trying to figure out how ancient people built them in the distant past, even with the assistance of current science.
