Strange stories about giants have always intrigued people. Among them, the story of Kap Dwa – the two-headed giant – is becoming a controversial legend.
This story spread through documents and legends, creating curiosity and controversy surrounding the truth of whether giants really existed or not.
According to legend, Kap Dwa is a giant who lives in Patagonia, a land located in the territory of Chile and Argentina, considered the end of the Earth. This person is very tall (3.66m) and has 2 heads.
The story tells of an encounter with Kap Dwa, where he was captured by Spanish sailors and later stabbed to death in a battle.
Kap Dwa’s mummy is on display at various locations and is currently owned by a man named Robert Gerber and his wife.
However, the authenticity of the Kap Dwa story has been questioned. There are suggestions that Kap Dwa may have been a hoax, especially when it involves the famous circus entrepreneur Phineas Taylor Barnum, who often exhibited mysterious creatures to attract attention.
Scientists have also been involved in studying Kap Dwa’s mummy. They suggest that, if Kap Dwa really existed, he may have been a case of ‘gigantic disorder,’ a condition that causes abnormal growth.
Some have also suggested that he may have been a dicephalic parapagus twin, meaning two heads shared on one body.
