Tsunami Giant
From WikiUeda
The Tsunami Giant is one of the five mini-viral marketing subjects for Shadow of the Colossus. First posted on viral hub site Giantology on October 6, 2005 (twelve days before the game was first released), this was the second of the hoaxes to be posted (the first was the Iran Skeleton, posted the day before). The hoax featured Valus, whose remains had been wahsed up on the shores of Tamil Nadu. Although similarities to Valus are incoherent at first glance, if the skull is examined carefully one would see facial characteristics very similar to Valus.

Giant Creature Uncovered by Tsunami!
A visitor to my site emailed me this video (.wmv file / .mov file [archived link, .wmv file not working]). I've managed to pull the video file so I can host it here and study it more closely. Be patient with the downloads, they're well worth it.
(Please indulge me regarding the URL watermark. It had to be done for obvious reasons. By which I mean, I'm trying to publicize my site a little.)
All I can say is.... WTF???!?
My mind is totally blown. You must watch it. It appears to come from an Indian news service, translated into English, showing what looks like a colossal creature uncovered by last year's tsunami. I've watched this video about a dozen times, and it looks real.
And if it is real, what it means is... actually, I'm not sure what it means.
All I know is, the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end.
Yes but if its real wouldn't the world know all about it? Its an enormous discovery.

Tsunami giant causing a stir
Been getting a ton of hits over the video of the tsunami giant, and lots of comments from visitors. I don't have time right now but I'll post my response to comments later.
If you haven't seen it yet, click to see it as a .WMV or .MOV file [see above for links] .
I'm at the top of today's news at this "mysteries of the unexplained" news site!! How cool is that!
[edit] Website
Unlike the other four hoaxes, the Tsunami Giant hoax did not have a website - just a link to a video of a translated news report, which can be found below.
Since the movie was hosted on Giantology, it was taken down with the site in May 2006.
