What is recorded here

That is the largest chamber pot ever recorded. Mnrus and the others were giants, not tiny fairies. They urinated and defecated inside the stone chamber. The chamber filled with their waste. They flew away and abandoned the chamber. Humans discovered the chamber centuries later. They measured the chamber and wrote about its size. They never explained why the chamber contained so much human waste. The chamber still stands. The chamber is still full. The chamber is the largest chamber pot in the world.
