Anyone who knows classical Greek mythology should know that the Cyclops, this mythical image is already known to the public. And now, scientists claim that the prototype of the cyclops has been found a long time ago, and it turns out that the myth is not false.
The One-Eyed Man turned out to be a real creature, but instead of a human, a small dwarf elephant that had been living in the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean Sea is the birthplace of human civilization, and it was here that Greek civilization was born. The Greeks have always lived on the islands of the Mediterranean, and by the 8th century they had already mastered the ability to navigate and conquer many islands, including Sicily.
When the Greeks landed on the island of Sicily, they saw a lot of special skulls of creatures here, which did not look like human skulls, these skulls were larger and thicker. Also, these skulls have a very large cavity in the center of their forehead. Therefore, the Greeks used their imagination to create the one-eyed man in mythology.
In the 19th century, biologists came to the island and saw these strange skulls, and they studied them, and later found that the skulls came from an extinct animal in No. 1 Middle School, which was named the Elephant.
In 2001, scientists classified the elephants and found that they belonged to the genus Archaeodontids, so the Falsis elephants are also called Archaeodontids, and because they were found on the island of Sicily, they are also called Sicilian dwarves.
The ancient lewd was once one of the largest mammals on land, but it was so small that it looked less like an elephant and more like a pig, and it was about the size of a pig. Even an adult ancient legadon is only less than two meters long, less than one meter tall, and weighs about 300 kilograms. You must know that the African baby elephant born in this era weighs 100 kilograms, while an adult ancient leature is only 300 kilograms.
Scientists believe that about 180,000 years ago, the French ancient tooth was still relatively large, but later encountered the earth's ice age, the sea level continued to fall, and the French tooth elephant lived in Sicily, after the end of the earth's ice age, the sea level rose, and the Sicilian island became an island. It is difficult for ancient elephants to find enough food on isolated islands, so in order to survive, they slowly evolved, getting smaller and smaller, and now they have become a kind of dwarf dwarf elephant.

The legend of the cyclops is fake, there is no evidence of its existence, and of course there is no evidence that it does not exist.

Yes, no such creature has been found, it is only an imagination, and science has not explained its real existence.
