Are Human Giants Real?

in history •  7 years ago 

Genesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards." This verse refers to the Nephilim, a giant race of men who, according to the bible, perished by the Great Flood. Scriptural writings of other religions also include similar tales of giant people who once walked the Earth. Enthusiastic believers advocate these stories as true, and in recent years many stories of archeological findings of giant men have appeared on the internet.

The most famous of these was the story about a giant human skeleton uncovered in the desert during a gas exploration in Saudi Arabia. Pictures were included linked with the Islamic story of the Prophet Hud and the powerful giant tribe of Aad.

Similar pictures and stories of biblical giants can be found, such as the alleged discovery of giants by archeologists in Greece. However, none of these claims have been proven, and the scientific community regards them as mere hoax stories accompanied with photoshopped images. There are, however, some real findings of ancient giants, although nowhere as dramatic as the aforementioned stories.

In 1890, French anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge found 3 bone fragments of a human leg in France. The height of the individual - popularly referred to as the "Giant of Castelnau" - is estimated to have been around 3.5 meters (11 ft 6 in). Studies showed that those bones dated back to the Neolithic period, and according to experts either represented a "very tall race" or were the result of "morbid growth."

I don't believe that Giants are real because Scientist and Archaeologists have used fossil evidence to piece together information about the earliest humans. Homo Heidelbergensis lived in Europe and Africa between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago, males stood at an average height of 5 feet 9 inches, while females were shorter, with an average height of 5 feet 2 inches. In other words, the height of the earliest humans was probably not much different than ours. We are probably as tall as we ever were.

Good point

But just because there were short people, doesn't discount the fact that there could have been a separate set of humans with genes mutated in a different way to make them much larger.

Yeah I don't understand the correlation there.. just because you find a fossil of a certain type doesn't make all the fossils the same from then after.

The cover up by the smithsonian is very real!

This gave me chills!

Yeah super creepy, right???

Definitely giants! The Bible tells me so.

Awesome!

It was real, but may be they suffered osteoporosis if there was same conditions like today :)

Is that really true?

Hard to say...I'm leaving it up to YOU GUYS to be the judge ;)

I want to believe in fairy tales))

Cool pictures! Definitely makes you wonder, could there have been actual giants?

What you need to ask is who benefits from a cover up of giants skeleton remains? If there were giants, and I believe there were, then that makes the Bible true.

That's a great question...makes you think about other conspiracies that have happened throughout history!

Bingo!

I do believe, back in old days
