Robert Wadlow, the tallest verified human, with his average-size father

According to the Guinness World Records, the tallest human in recorded history was Robert Wadlow of the United States (1918–1940), who was 272 cm (8 ft 11 in). He received media attention in 1939 when he was measured to be the tallest man in the world, beating John Rogan's record, after reaching a height of 267 cm (8 ft 9 in).

There are reports about even taller people but most of such claims are unverified or erroneous. Since antiquity, it has been reported about the finds of gigantic human skeletons. Originally thought to belong to mythical giants, these bones were later identified as the exaggerated remains of prehistoric animals, usually whales or elephants.[1][2][3][4][5] Regular reports in American newspapers in the 18th and 19th century of giant human skeletons[6][7][8] may have inspired the case of the "petrified" Cardiff Giant, a famous archaeological hoax.[7][9][10]

(age at death)
Italy 1010 cm 33 ft Unknown Several skeletons, some reportedly 30 and 33 ft (9.1 and 10.1 m) tall, found in Sicily.[168] In the Middle Ages, they were mistaken for the bones of cyclops or giants who settled in caves after the Flood.[1] Later studies have shown that these bones belong to Elephas (Palaeoloxodon) antiquus, Elephas mnaidriensis, and Elephas falconeri, so-called dwarf elephants from the Middle and Late Pleistocene.[1][5] Middle to Late Pleistocene. Originally thought to be from the Classical Antiquity.
India 960 cm 31.5 ft Unknown A skeleton 31.5 ft (9.6 m) long, found in the river bank in the Jubbulpore district on August 8, 1934.[169] Initially believed to be a giant human, it was identified as a giant non-human ape soon after unearthing.[170] Unknown
France 760 cm 25 ft Teutobochus (Theutobochus) A left part of a huge skeleton was discovered in a sand quarry in Dauphiné in 1613.[171] These bones were thought to belong to an ancient giant king 24–25 ft (7.3–7.6 m) tall.[168][172] Later studies have shown that it is a Late Miocene proboscidean Deinotherium or close relative.[2][173] The existence of a large tombstone from early reports has not been confirmed, the coins found along with the bones belong to Marseille Republic and were found a few years before the discovery of the skeleton.[3] Late Miocene. Originally thought to be from 105 BC.[2][171]
United States 610 cm 20 ft Unknown A giant human skeleton from Tennessee, found in 1845. It was estimated at 18 ft (5.5 m) but the living man was believed to be "at least" 20 ft (6.1 m) tall. However, even in 1845 it was reported that the discovery was not confirmed.[174] This skeleton as well as an 8 ft 9 in (2.67 m) tall specimen found in the Rocky Mountains in 1838, is very likely the remains of an extinct animal.[7] Unknown
Tunisia 590 cm 19.4 ft Giant of Utica A gigantic remains including teeth discovered near Utica by Saint Augustine in 412 AD and later by Thomas d'Arcos [ca] in 1630. The bones crumbled to dust during the extraction, but two enormous teeth were saved. It was assumed that this skeleton and similar specimens from the nearby localities are the remains of the giants, Hercules or Adam.[3] However, already in 1631, Peiresc suggested that these remains belong to a marine animal or an elephant. More recent research indicates that this giant's preserved upper molar is most likely belongs to a Pleistocene relative of the modern African elephant.[3] Pleistocene. Originally thought to be a 600-years old giant who died 4000 years before his remains were found.[3]
Switzerland 580 cm 19 ft Unknown A giant skeleton found near Lucerne in 1577.[175] In 1786, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach concluded that these remains actually belong to a mammoth.[176] Pleistocene. Originally thought to be from the antediluvian times.

A 1615 report about a grave with bones of the giants in Puerto Deseado could have been initiated by fossil finds.[177] c. 1520[178]
Syria (Bashan) 410 cm 13.5 ft Og As it is claimed in Bible, Og's sarcophagus (bed[179] or probably couch[180]) was nine cubits long and four cubits wide which is approximately 4.1 m × 1.8 m (13.5 ft × 6 ft).[181][182] Historicity of Og is disputed,[181] his sarcophagus could be a dolmen.
