WASHINGTON – Maybe this is how the pyramids were built.

The website of European newspaper Bild has photos of a mummified, 15-inch human finger. The photos have not been scientifically verified, but they were allegedly taken in Egypt in 1988.

The size of the finger means the person would have been over 16 feet tall. Check out video of the photos below:
