Long ago when the earth was young things were different than they are today, they were BIGGER. There were bigger plants, insects, animals and people which were called GIANTS. An example of this is that there are fossil records of Alligators as big as a house, Kangaroos three times as big as normal human beings, and even Lobsters that were bigger than the average human being. The environmental an atmospheric conditions before the flood were very beneficial to all these species and allowed for them to grow greater in size. Scientists have recently created in small areas the atmospheric conditions that were similar to those back with the young earth and have been able to grow large fish and other animals that could not exist in our present conditions.
The Bible talks about GIANTS first in Genesis 6:4
“There were GIANTS in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
Races all over the world shared stories of GIANTS of old. Men at the smallest were twice the size of todays average man. These GIANTS were found to live in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, Central America and South America. Everywhere there were stories passed down from generation to generation.
These GIANTS were said to be highly developed , intellectually, artistically, and physically. They were said to have powers over birds and animals. History said that these GIANTS misbehaved and God decided to abolish them and replace them with normal ordinary human beings. They were known to be very violent people and also early records say many of them were even cannibals. People of regular height feared them and regularly fought against them.
It is said that the great flood of Noah’s day told to us by the Bible is what killed off the majority of the GIANT race. Later after the flood during the time of Joshua and the people of Israel GIANTS are mentioned again from the land of Canaan. It is mentioned that the Israeli spies went to Canaan and said everything was big there and they felt they were grasshoppers compared with the height and size of the Canaanite GIANTS.
In the Bible it speaks also of Og King of Bashan where GIANGTS also lived his iron bed stead measured 15.4 ft long. Deuteronomy 3:11,13
The GIANT Goliath, whom David the Israelite killed with stones and a sling, he was 10 feet tall. 1 Samuel 17:4
Also Beniah, is mentioned as a hero of David’s army who slew an Egyptian GIANT 8 ½ ft tall. 1 Chronicles 11:23
The American Indians told Buffalo Bill in 1879 about a race of men who were 3 times bigger than that race of Indians and who could run alongside Buffalo and scoop one up with their hands and tear off a leg of the Buffalo and eat it while the GIANT walked along the roadside.
In Africa they had stories of men who could look over the tops of tress that they were so tall.
I have done research from both the Internet and a book called Lost world of GIANTS by Jonathan Gray.
There have been bones, skeletons, and other body parts like teeth that have been found all over the world from GIANTS ranging in size from 7ft tall all the way up to body parts fitting bodies that were at the most 36 ft tall. That’s as tall as a building or taller than some, amazing.
One interesting fact is many of the GIANT fossils of man found had Skulls with Double rows of teeth and hands 2with 6 fingers and feet with 6 toes on them.
There have been archeological finds of large buildings and things like large chairs that must have been occupied by very large men.
Large tools have also been found for working or for making war weapons that could only have been used by very large men due to their weight and shear size.
Estimating the size of an average GIANT they would have weighed between 700 to 1,000 lbs and some really tall GIANTS would have weighed more and been very strong able to move big stones and logs by hand. It is thought that stone monuments like Stonehenge may have been buildt by GIANTS.
These GIANTS some of them lived when the Dinosoars were still around. There are footprints of Humans at same levels as Dinosaurs, sometimes in side Dino footprints found in old Limestone.
I’m fascinated with this History of GIANTS and I hope you are too. If you want to learn more just visit the Internet and type in GIANTS or the Nephilim.
Thanks and hope you enjoyed this presentation of a taste of GIANT History. Feel free to leave your comments.
