giants, real or not?...

are they still among us?

are they just a fairy tail like peter pan?

i believe that the bible is correct when it says "giants walked the earth in those days". many human bones of enormous size have been dug up and even found in chinese medicinal shops which use bone ground into powder, in some of their herbal remedies.

theres even been a few documentaries about giants, and they also have shown much evidence to suggest they did/do infact exist, some giants recorded have been in excess of 35 foot tall!

there are many pictures all over the web and easily found which show skeletons of huge size being dug up.

theres also many photos from the past 100+ years showing modern men (yes and women) of extraordinary size.

"Jack Earle, who is a Deputy Sheriff from El Paso, Texas, has enrolled as a golf student in a Chicago golf school. He is 8 feet 7 inches tall, and is shown with a putter only 30 inches in length. (Dec. 12, 1928)

Born in Denver as Jacob Ehrlich in 1906 he took the screen name of Jack Earle when in the silent film industry. He was involved with circuses from 1926 to 1940 when he retired. Jack died at age 46 in 1952. "He was well proportioned, extremely likable, possessed a pleasing personality and remarkable intelligence." (from "Circus: Cinders to Sawdust")"

Jack Earle is just one person from the modern era who could be classed as a "giant", more profiles can be found here:

modern giant?

the egyptians also recorded their history and told Herodotus that their history stretched back 35,500 years and that the first kings of egypt were the "Gods" who were succeeded by the "Demi-Gods" who were succeeded by the titans who were succeeded by the giants. (if memory serves correctly, thats the correct line of succession).
all this was shown and proved to Herodotus and he reported it as having received this knowledge first hand. i think Herodotus can be classed as a reliable and very credible source of information because when ever he reported something he told us if the information given to him was first hand or by some other means and makes the distinction VERY clearly.

the egyptians have documented that giants once walked the earth and ruled egypt for a time, as well as the babylonians and many other ancient civilizations also reported and documented such things, not to mention the storys of david and goliath found in the bible and the epic of gilgamesh as well as MANY other tales (i do not include jack and the beanstalk as that is a "bed time" story as far as i am concerned).

so with so much evidence which point to giants walking the earth can anybody dismiss it as a "fairytale"?


this is just one source and there are PLENTY more out there so go look for yourselves, dismiss the evidence as crazy, then come back and call me mad :wink:

Define giants.

Ordinary people with a genetic anomaly that causes excessive growth?
Giants as in "homo giganticus", a complete subspecies of the primate family?
Giants as in a completely different lifeform?
Or Giants as in mythological Titans, Gods, Halfgods, Quartergods and other semi-divine or supernatural beings.



I believe in the existence of 1, 2, 3 and 4, but I am an exception as far as that is concerned. Speaking of exceptions, I make the very non-Greek move to state that it is irrelevant whether giants exist, seeing how we do either not, or fluently interact with them. Just as racial differences are (for the most part) irrelevant since we fluently interact (no qualifier given as far as human interaction goes) between races. The difference between dolphins and men is relevant, since we can not -effectively- communicate.

If earth were as fire, why would one make the distinction between earth and fire. :)


Anyway, giants. Giants have a website!

I went for the joke option

[spoiler]Number 7[/spoiler]

But seriously, it seems the issue 'giants' would be something that one does not believe in, as such, because it is the sort of thing that we should be able to find evidence for. I find it to be highly unlikely that biblical giants (weren't they meant to be the result of angel/demon intrebreeding?) ever existed.

Also, the website you posted a link to cites the work of Rex Gilroy, who is notorious for making wild, unverifiable claims about mythical creatures and history.

Many things can be considered debates and not all are in the debate section. There is always a reason to my madness, best it be kept far away from a point at which I start explaining myself to others.

that explains nothing mate :?

i've provided a huge amount of evidence backed up by pics and have posed a question to be debated and you moved it where as the bigfoot topic is based purely on speculation and opinion and thats not moved...please explain the logic cuz i just dont get it! :?

So can we get back to the Giants, or do we move to spam.


G, I asked a few questions, would appreciate it if you could think about an answer? :) Just to point me in the right direction. ;)
(And don't take those -my- links too seriously, they're a joke.)

my bad for forgetting to reply to you Lois :oops:

ok, define Giants was the main question...

unless someone can show me evidence (which if they could i would be HIGHLY skeptical) of Giants being say 100+ feet or Giants which could be classed as supernatural, such as those in the Ray Harryhausen films, lets stick with people of extraordinary size like those in the pics above.
Giants=8 foot+ but no more than 35 feet tall, anything more than that and i think the ice gets a bit to thin if you see what i'm trying to say.

as for what the Egyptians told Herodotus, i think its quite possible that they did indeed relay credible information to Herodotus with regards to their history and that the titans as well as the gods did walk among us...

but thats besides the point :wink:



good enough? :-)

i thought giants were jus people with a disease of a gland which controls growth? the gland messes up and makes people grow like a mofo. the david goliath thing can even be explained by this (maybe). people with this growth condition can be killed easily (sometimes) from a blow to the head. edit: dont try to kill tall ppl this way. its frowned upon.

perhaps a family will have a natural tendency to suffer from gigantism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantism) so it could lead to several people in one place who suffer from the condition. but this cant be considered as a natural or new species or anything of the sort. theres a family in india (i think) who walk on all fours. they arent a new species of goat-man. they are jus random genetics.

i dont see how there could be a natural species of giant human because:
:smt028 humans came from trees. giants dont fit in trees :?
:smt028 humans are not designed to grow to that size. the health problems would be many and severe.
:smt028 there would be more about them in history (the last thousand years)


in short. your nuts, giants are not real, people with gigantism are real, dogs cant look up. perhaps giants caused 9/11? is that what you are getting atm mr kma? thanks :-D
