South America — A team of archaeologists working in the remote highlands of South America has uncovered a massive skull unlike anything previously recorded, igniting international controversy and renewed discussion about humanity’s ancient past.

The skull, discovered partially buried beneath dense layers of untouched soil, measures nearly twice the size of a modern human cranium. Early structural analysis suggests the being could have stood more than twelve feet tall, challenging established scientific understanding of human evolution.

Lead researcher Dr. Emilio Vargas described the discovery as “anatomically extraordinary,” noting that the skull’s unusually thick bone density and oversized jaw do not match any known hominid species. “We cannot immediately classify it,” he said. “This find raises questions we are not yet prepared to answer.”

Local Indigenous communities have long preserved legends of sky-born “Titans” — colossal beings said to have walked the Earth before being buried beneath mountains by the gods. While many regard these tales as mythology, the new discovery has prompted some to reconsider their origins.

Scientific opinion, however, remains sharply divided. Some researchers argue the skull may belong to an undiscovered species of ancient hominid native to the region. Others warn it could be an elaborate forgery intended to attract attention or mislead the public.

To determine authenticity, DNA testing and carbon analysis are now underway at three independent laboratories. Authorities have restricted access to the excavation site to prevent interference, sparking speculation and fueling online theories.

Regardless of the results, experts agree the discovery has already captured global attention and could have significant implications for archaeology, anthropology, and the interpretation of ancient myths.

More updates are expected as scientific teams release their findings in the coming weeks.
