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 God 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 God and the Prophet and transgressed beyond all boundaries set by God. 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. It has been kept in secrecy, but a military helicopter took some pictures from the air and one of the pictures leaked out into the internet in Saudi Arabia. See the attachment and note the size of the two men standing in the picture in comparison to the size of the skeleton !!

I am really surprised to see the change in the story. Also it is difficult to differentiate religion from history. Is it not? When we speak of our history, we really mention our religion because religion was an integral part in shaping the morals of the people in the society then.
Coming to the great 21st Century, Hi-Tech manipulations of the 'News', anyone can 'blah blah' anything, when they are 'cunning enough' to prepare a curry.
We need not feel scared or ashamed to mention a religion. We should be sane enough to uphold the values taught by it.

Thanks to Badarinath and Saleem!
As Saleem pointed it out, it's really pity to believe these type of crap stories in this 21st century.
On top of of this mad story, there is a religion again.
I wish Hindus and Muslims won't start fighting for this skeleton :-)
Let all of us march towards progress and overall development of India and the World!

My point is not to argue about hindu gods creation or allah's creation. But to show how the news gets twisted around and original source looses its authenticity. Anyway I think using a photoshop or any image editor , It can be produced.
