The Cardiff Giant was one of many hoaxes pertaining to the discovery of ancient giants.

Giants are one of two things. Either they are a race of humanoid beings, much larger than humans, that lived around the dawn of man or they are just very tall people. For the latter, there are some unfortunate people who suffer from a rare disease known as gigantism. As for the former, there are numerous written and oral legends of the existence of ancient giants. Some say there is even hard proof in the form of historical remains.
