Gigantism

An ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled 4,700 years ago was a giant, scientists have announced. The remains, believed to belong to King Sanakht, who ruled during the third Dynasty, are believed to represent the oldest case of gigantism ever found—indicating the condition was not associated with social isolation.

The sad and touching story of a 9-year old boy from India, who suffers from a rare case of gigantism is making news around the world. Mohammad Kaleem lives with his parents in Jharkhand, one of the poorest provinces in India and he is shunned by his community.
