Chronicles of evangelizers in New Spain and New Spanish historians tell us that in ancient times there were giants in what is now known as Mexico. They were called quinametzin, a term used in Mesoamerican mythology for people of great height.
After the conquest, massive bones were found. A story by friar Andrés de Olmos, famous for his work as a Náhuatl, Huasteco, and Totonaco philologist, states that in the palace of the first viceroy of New Spain, Antonio de Mendoza, bones of a human foot were found. Each toe measured almost the palm of a hand.
