Real Giant Kojomkul Who Became A Folk Hero In Kyrgyzstan
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Few have heard his name, but to the people living in a small village in Kyrgyzstan, he was an extraordinary man and hero.
Kaba Uluu Kojomkul, whose name means Koschomkul, son of Kaba, was a real giant who was incredibly strong. Born in 1888 in Koschomkul, in the Suusamyr Valley, he left an everlasting impression on those he met, and his memory is still kept alive among the locals. That’s why the village where he was born is named after him.
Today, we might be impressed by his height, but to the locals who admired him so much that they built an unusual monument in his honor, he was much more than just a very tall and strong man. Kaba Uluu Kojomkul was a unique individual with a good heart, and that’s the reason he was nicknamed the gentle giant. He loved animals and people in general, and he was especially fond of children.
