My Take: All I can say is wow. If true, what does it mean? Where did this giant come from? Is it alien? Does it come from the hollow earth? What other secrets does our planet hold? British-led Indian forces from neighbouring British India invaded the city in 1839, during the First Anglo-Afghan War, but withdrew in 1842. In November 1855 Dost Mohammad Khan conquered Kandahar. The British and Indian forces returned in 1878 during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. They emerged from the city in July 1880 to confront the forces of Ayub Khan, but were defeated at the Battle of Maiwand. They were again forced to withdraw a few years later, despite winning the Battle of Kandahar.

Marzulli asks “Mr. K” to describe the giant one more time: it had six digits on his hands and feet, and its nails were weird because they had some fungi-like, bulky things on them, and their edges were irregular. In a chat with YouTuber LA Marzulli (per Daily Star), the military contractor claimed to have been there during the savage killing of a killer he dubbed the Kandahar Giant. For 10 minutes the operator observed them, during which time he reported the giants tended their fire and performed other chores — you know, giant stuff. Marzulli discusses the "Giant of Kandahar" with a guy claiming to be a soldier on his YouTube channel, which is dedicated to connecting contemporary events to Biblical prophesies.
