In an article on hindulife.nl it is said they found some pretty big skeltons in the north of India als know as The Emptu Quarter.
Anyway, the pictures:

Mirror of the article (in dutch), since hindul.nl seems to be a little very slow right now.

The photos are from Worth1000 and probably used without permission.

Heh. I was just going to say it was obviously photoshopped.

I don’t have photoshop, but own a number of similar tools and have even created a couple of W1000 ‘entries’ for practise. No way I’d post them though, I’d end up being threatened with legal action for using my own images[*].
