Any comments on below (claimed to be an evidence found to support Quran):

QuoteAnother evidence of Quran found, recent gas exploration activity in the south east region of the Arabian desert uncovered a skeletal remains of a human of phenomenal size. This region of the Arabian Desert is called the Empty Quarter , or in Arabic, 'Rab-Ul-Khalee'. The discovery was made by the Aramco Exploration team. As Allah states in the Quran that He had created people of phenomenal size the like of which He has not created since. These were the people of Aad where Prophet HUD was sent. They were very tall, big, and very powerful, such that they could put their arms around a tree trunk and uproot it. Later these people, who were given all the power, turned against Allah and the Prophet and transgressed beyond all boundaries set by Allah. As a result they were destroyed. Ulema's of Saudi Arabia believe these to be the remains of the people of Aad. Saudi Military has secured the whole area and no one is allowed to enter except the ARAMCO personnel. See the attachment and note the size of the two men standing in the picture in comparison to the size of the skeleton. Unquote

It's an old hoax.

It's not just supposedly in Arabia - these fake pics have been 'made' all around the world from South America to Russia!

Thanks

I received this via chain of emails people circulate to each other without verifying the source.

Do you suggest that I reply to those spreading these rumours in the name of Quran and clarify about it. I am not sure, because most likely I'll get backfired.

Its sad that ignorant people spread such messages to support the unsupported.

a hoax :$
In general, don't accept information unless you verify it  (17:36 & 49:6)
Moreover, there is no mention of giant people in the Quran, there is in the bible

I was hoping Pazuzu could shed some light on that

As Allah states in the Quran that He had created people of phenomenal size the like of which He has not created since. These were the people of Aad where Prophet HUD was sent.

I have never seen a verse of the Quran that speaks of giant human beings, "the likes of which He had not created since". Whoever claimed this was perhaps confused between the people of A'd and the PILLARS that they erected. The Quran speaks of a city called "Aram of the Pillars" (incorrectly rendered as "Iram"). Here are the verses:

{Did you not see what your Rabb did to A'd? * Aram of the Pillars * The likes of which have not been created in the land? * And Thamud, who carved the rocks in the valley? And Far3oun of the Pegs? * They all transgressed in the land.}...[89:6-11]

So as you can see, they erected giant PILLARS. Nowhere does it say that they were giants themselves.  As for the location you mentioned, it is most probably correct. The people of A'd where destroyed by a violent sandstrom which originated in the region known as "Al-Ahqaf" (meaning: the giant sand dunes), which lies in the southern part of the Rub3-al-Khali desert, along the northern border of Yemen. Many artifacts and ruins are burried under those dunes, waiting to be uncovered. Unfortunately, the backward-minded tribes who live in those regions do not let anyone approach them, because they believe the areas to be "sacred". And the government of Yemen apparently doesn't give a damn about archeology, and even if it did, it has very little control of that region.

As for the photos, I believe they are 100% fake.

Allah says that he created us (Adam) in the perfect image. We were never 8 meters tall.

The Egyptians built pyramids in Giza that remained, for 4500 years, the tallest structures made by human hands. The Egyptians were normal-sized people.

Peace...
