Description

In 1869, the world was shocked by a discovery that was made outside of the town of Cardiff, New York. 


Two workers discovered what was claimed to be the remains of a 10 foot tall, petrified human being. 


The claim set off a fiery debate between those who thought it was proof of the Bible and those who just thought it was a long lost statue. 


It turned out, neither group was correct. 


Learn more about the Cardiff Giant and one of the biggest hoaxes of the 19th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
