It’s something like ‘chitlins?’

    OP, this screenshot is missing additional context to actually say if this is a insane Facebook post or not

    At best with the image alone you could say it could be an insane Facebook post due to ambiguity or the post could be describing details from sumerian mythos

    Whether or not this is a depiction of ancient gods as giants, or just adults and an oddly proportioned child…

    You cannot just take everything ever written or depicted literally.

    The Sumerian list of their supposed ancient kings goes back nearly a million years. They claim to have kings that reigned for thousands and tens of thousands of years, similar to how many of Adam’s descendants lived hundreds of years.

    Like, when you read up on Egyptian beliefs about the dead, do you think that is evidence that Anubis is actually real, or Ra or Osiris or Isis? Do you think that Medusa and the Minotaur are actually real from Greek Mythology, or that even the Roman myth of how Rome was founded is literally true?

    Apparently this is how many people do actually think.

    King Arthur? Herakles?

    Totally Real.

    Hamlet? Critias?

    100% historically accurate, down to every word.

    Even fucking Herodotus, the ‘Father of History’ has been determined to have in many cases just repeated tall tales and exaggerations he heard.

    It’s like believing Paul Bunyan was actually real, actually had a big blue ox.

    I mean they go thru the effort of putting trees in this, and they look like a palm type. I would guess these people that are the same size as them to be larger then myself, but I dont know the tree they reference so I would have to look into it more. But also it doesent look like a scene where they are ‘making’ us either so I am not sure this is really talking about that, if anything its like like look we labored together as they could reach the fruits, so we didnt have to climb.

    They’re called people with dwarfism, in this case it looks like proportionate dwarfism. “Little people” is a generally accepted term in the community, but it’s best not to assume with things like that, so just call them a person. It’s actually a very woke carving.
