![]() ![]() ![]() Kap-Dwa continued to amaze people and somehow ended up in Baltimore Md, in a strange, collection at Bob’s Side Show at The Antique Man Ltd in Baltimore, owned by Robert Gerber and his wife.Īccording to Gerber, Kap-Dwa was in fact found already dead on a beach with a massive spear embedded in his chest. There, his remains spent some 45 years on display until “Lord” Thomas Howard purchased the remains in 1959. In 1914, after being passed from one showman to another, the mummified remains of Kap Dwa ended up at Weston’s Birnbeck Pier. The story fades away after that, but it is believed that his mummified remains somehow got to England in the 19th century. ![]() The story begins in 1673 when this massive two-headed giant was captured by Spanish sailors where he remained captive until he was killed while trying to escape from his captivators, as the Spaniards killed him with a pike through the chest. Kap Dwa’s story is beyond fascinating and many find it hard to believe. Besides, from the scientific point of view, we cannot deny the fact that one of the giants could have had two heads, as such abnormality also rarely presents in modern humans.While there are many elaborate hoaxes that show massive bones and strange-looking skeletons all around the globe, there are some discoveries that challenge our understanding of life on Earth. The authenticity of this story is still doubtful, but there is some solid proof about the existence of giants.

Anyway, the test never happened in fear that it would result in bad consequences. Later, it was sold to Lord Thomas Howard who sent the mummified body of the giant to a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, the USA for proper analysis. The corpse passed through the hands of many showmen until it arrived at Weston’s Birnbeck Pier, located in North Somerset in 1914.

During the expedition, the sailors fired at the giant in fear, seriously injuring him. Terrified sailors decided to invade the island and head to capture the giant. The story of two-headed giant Kap Dwa begins in 1673, when Spanish sailors heard the rumors that a giant cannibal lived on a desert island near the coast of Patagonia. He described him as “quite naked, and who danced, leaped, and sang, and while he sang he threw sand and dust on his head.” During his expedition, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan saw a giant near Puerto San Julián, Argentina. įrom the earliest European account, it has been rumored that the South American region known as “Patagonia” was once the home of 12 to 15 feet creatures (maybe a different human race), and the giant Kap Dwa could be one of them.
