They are photoshoped? Well that's for experts(and if you are one please tell us the detail on how these pictures could be surmised as fake) to say otherwise it's just speculation.

The elongated skulls are created by binding the skulls of infants and forcing the skull to develop into such a shape by not allowing the bones oof the skull to fuse properly causeing the extra bone growth. The suposed giant pictures are been known to be fakes, besides IF those were real they would be studies by paleontologists. Unless you are proposing some kind of a world wide conspiracy.

The giant images are from a photoshoping competition.

With that being said, this is a recuring myth often rehashed and reused by creationists, I have seen it resurfacing periodicaly over the last few years, though the images used change occasionaly.

Pfft. They're a complete fraud.

The photo, experts suspected, could be manipulated with a photo-editing software. In fact, a close look at the picture revealed that the light falling on the catwalk and the two men in white shirts comes from a different angle and is of different intensity than the light falling on the skeleton. The long shadow in front of the skull does not match with other shadows in the photo. An extremely enlarged version gave further proof that the picture was coined together from different elements. It seemed to be an authentic photo of an excavation with a superimposed human skeleton.

Yea, because if they were real... We would see them in a museam somewhere, or learn about them when learning about evolution in school.

Wow!

I'm was an atheist and a scientist, but after seeing those pictures I've converted to Satanism.

Thank you for providing conclusive, incontrovertible proof of the existence of devils.

I would guess that a scientist would say "I would need to see more data than those pictures before making any judgements".
