Homo Capensis: Elongated Skull Giants of Forbidden Biblical Archeology – The Nephilim Demon Mutants of Genesis
Fee-fi-fo-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he alive, or be he dead
I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.
Charles Mackay proposes in The Gaelic Etymology of the Languages of Western Europe that the seemingly meaningless string of syllables “Fa fe fi fo fum” is actually a coherent phrase of ancient Gaelic, and that the complete quatrain covertly expresses the Celts’ cultural detestation of the invading Angles and Saxons:
Fa from faich (fa!) “behold!” or “see!”
Fe from Fiadh (fee-a) “food”;
Fi from fiú “good to eat”
Fo from fogh (fó) “sufficient” and
Fum from feum “hunger”.
Thus “Fa fe fi fo fum!” becomes “Behold food, good to eat, sufficient for my hunger!”
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
~Numbers 13:33
“And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy….”

“In keeping in mind that these legends materialized globally at approximately the same time – it’s more likely than not, in my opinion – that the universal story agrees with the record of every major culture of the ancient world in which the astonishingly consistent story is told of Gods that descended from heaven or came through spiral vortices to materialize in bodies of flesh. From Rome to Greece, and before that To Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, Sumer – the earliest records of civilization tell of the era when powerful creatures known to the Hebrews as Watchers and in the Book of Genesis as Bene Ha Elohim – The Sons of God – mingled themselves with humans, giving birth to part celestial part terrestrial hybrids known as Nephilim. “
~Tom Horn
People are rediscovering the ancient past, including the Nephilim: giant, coneheaded demons that originated with the fallen angels of Genesis 6 (the Watchers) mating with human women.
These Ancient Blood Sacrificing God Kings of the bloody past, are being labeled Homo Capensis by our modern scientists, if they dare to speak of them at all. After endless money was spent failing to prove the evolutionary model, and to find the “missing link” between man and ape, or any other species for that matter – modern scientism completely ignores Giants as a topic, because it gives weight to the biblical narrative and simultaneously debunks their evolutionary nonsense.
According to The Smithsonian Magazine:
“Homo capensis: In the early 1910s, two farmers stumbled across hominid fossils, including bits of a skull, near Boskop, South Africa. The bones were passed around to many anatomists—including Raymond Dart, who later discovered the first Australopithecus fossil—before ending up in the hands of paleontologist Robert Broom. Broom estimated the brain size of the skull (PDF): a whopping 1,980 cubic centimeters (the typical modern person’s brain is around 1,400 cubic centimeters). Broom determined that the skull should be called H. capensis, also known as Boskop Man. Other specimens from South Africa were added to the species, and some scientists became convinced southern Africa was once home to a race of big-brained, small-faced people. But by the 1950s, scientists were questioning the legitimacy of H. capensis. One problem was that the thickness of the original skull made it difficult to estimate the true brain size. And even if it were 1,980 cubic centimeters, that’s still within the normal range of variation for modern people’s brains, anthropologist and blogger John Hawks explained in 2008. Another problem, Hawks pointed out, was that scientists were preferentially choosing larger skulls to include in H. capensis while ignoring smaller skulls that were found in association with the bigger specimens. Today, fossils once classified as H. capensis are considered members of H. sapiens.”
Very little is admitted of “Homo Capensis” by modern academics, yet the historical, archeological, and genetic evidences continue to pile up on their true nature and name: The Nephilim, Biblical Giants and Enemies of God.
History is a Giant Lie
“The accounts of these giants remain are too numerous and too far-flung for all of them to have been lost, stolen, or secreted away. And yet, I truly believe the accounts. They are supported not only by an overwhelming body of evidence found in mythology, but an equally overwhelming body of archeological evidence.”
It doesn’t take much research to come to the conclusion that great lengths have been gone to in a global suppression of archeological findings of giant skeletons or human bones that when matched proportionally in size infer very very large people. One starts to ask themselves what would be the purpose to suppress said knowledge from the masses. Many conspiracy theories can be extrapolated as to why this is, what seems to be, a forbidden knowledge and requires a (men in black) team to keep it all on the hush.
Giant skeletons and elongated skull bodies found all over the world, with genetic tests confirming. Famous examples are the Star Child and King of Og’s Bed.

“In the days now long past the gods walked with men and the instructors from the invisible planes of Nature were still laboring with the infant humanity of this planet they chose from among the sons of men the wisest and the truest These they labored with preparing them to carry on the work of the gods after the spiritual hierarchies themselves had withdrawn into the invisible worlds With these specially ordained and illuminated sons they left the keys of their great wisdom which was the knowledge of good and evil They ordained these anointed and appointed ones priests or mediators between themselves the gods and that great mass of humanity which had not as yet developed the eyes which permitted them to gaze into the face of Truth and live.”

Ancient Aliens: Giant Hybrids Descended From Aliens
GIANTS ON THE EARTH
by Boyd Rice
October 2004
Since the offspring of the Nephilim were said to be giants, and because virtually every tradition relating to the Flood and the subsequent arrival of the tutelary gods also has to do with giants, I have spent several years making note of giant lore, both mythological and purportedly historical. I’ve even taken to the road in an attempt to verify reported discoveries of gigantic skeletons in parts of the United States and UK (without luck, unfortunately). Though such discoveries were widely reported in the mainstream press at the times in which they were made, whatever became of the skeletons remains a mystery.
Some maintain that the orthodoxy of the scientific/archeological community has created a conspiracy of silence around such anomalous finds because they can’t be adequately explained, and thus constitute some sort of threat to the prevailing paradigm. Of course, such finds can only be viewed as anomalies if taken singly. Many such discoveries would constitute the emergence of a pattern – a pattern possibly indicative of the need to rethink the prevailing wisdom.
Fortunately, the ancients charged with the transmission of their people’s history, myth, and folklore felt no need to alter it for public consumption. They simply retold the stories that had been passed down to them by their ancestors. And here too, a pattern emerges, because the creation myths central to so many ancient cultures contain nearly identical themes concerning a race of giants. Often the giants were father gods, tutelary deities, or mythic kings. Often there was a race of giants, frequently said to be the offspring of intermarriage between gods and mortals. Repeatedly, such figures are connected with the legend of a global deluge. What follows is a brief overview of some figures or groups central to giant lore:
- The Nephilim: These were the Sons of God who in Genesis interbred with humans, creating a race of giants. They were called “The Watchers” in The Book of Enoch.
- The Cainites: This was a race of giants descended from Cain who lived in an underworld kingdom called “Arka.” Note that the well-known statement in Genesis that “in those days, and after that, there were giants on the earth” is in fact not what the original text stated. What it really said was “giants in the earth.”
- The Anakim: This was another name for the Watchers. It means “the descendants of Anak”, or Enoch, Cain’s son. Though it was said that a flood had been sent to destroy them, there were still entire cities of Anakim in Canaan as late as the time of Moses. And Jewish chronicler Josephus states that even in his own day it was not uncommon for people to dig up gigantic skeletal remains. Spies sent by Moses to scout Anakim strongholds reported back that the Anakim were so large that the Hebrews seemed “like grasshoppers” in comparison.
- The Tritons: This was a race of giant gods, spawned by the interbreeding of Poseidon with a mortal woman named Cleito. In some versions of the story they are part-fish. Some are said to have escaped the flood that destroyed Atlantis.
- The Titans: These were a Greek race of giants born to Ouranos and Gaia. It is undoubtedly a later retelling of the Triton saga.
- Atlas: He was the King of Atlantis, and a Triton/giant. He was so large and so strong that he was often represented holding the Earth upon his shoulders.
- Quetzalcoatl: This was the giant white god who appeared to native South Americans and founded their civilizations, according to their folktales. He too is depicted supporting the Earth on his shoulders, and he told the natives that the civilization from which he originated was destroyed by a flood which he escaped by building a ship.
- Hercules: He is also a giant, and is said to have piloted an ark.
- Cuculainn: He is called the Irish Hercules, and came to Ireland in a ship when his homeland was destroyed by a flood. Interestingly, he seems to equate with the South American white god Kukulcan, a figure of “very tall stature” who arrived on a boat telling much the same story.
- Votan: This is yet another tall white tutelary deity of South America. Once again, we see the strange circumstance that his name sounds exactly like that of the Northern European god Wotan, a deity worshipped in an altogether different hemisphere.
- The Ari: These were a race of Sumerian deified kings. “Ari” is a royal title meaning “the Shining Ones.” They were obviously the prototypes of The Book of Enoch’s Watchers. Numerous Sumerian seals depict them as men of gigantic stature. They are often taller than members of their courts, even when depicted seated on thrones. In the numerous seals that show them standing, they tower above those standing next to them.
- The Tuatha de Danaan: This was a race of Celtic giants and father gods. Like the Cainites and other giants, they were said to dwell in underground kingdoms or inside hollow mountains. One of the chief deities was Lugus, a name that translates to “shining one”, revealing an astonishing connection to Sumer’s deified giant kings.
- The Ellu: This was a race of Mesopotamian kings said to be descendants of the gods. Yet again, “Ellu” is a royal court title which translates to “the Shining Ones.” It is thought that “Ellu” was the basis of the word “Elohim”, a term translated generally as “the sons of God.” The Elohim are considered by some to be synonymous with the Nephilim of Genesis.
- Albion: He was one of the Titan giants fathered by Poseidon. He came to England after the Flood and was for many years the island’s principal god. In those times England was actually called “Albion”, after their Titan god/king. In fact, many British places place-names retain the words “Albion” or “Albany” to this very day.
- Iberius: A Titan and brother of Albion, he went to Spain after the Flood. And likewise, Spain was for centuries named “Iberia” in his honor.
- King Arthur: There is some Arthurian lore which claims that he piloted an ark during the Deluge, and this legend also relates that he stood just over nine feet tall. King Henry II, inspired by stories that Arthur was buried at Glastonbury, dispatched a team there to excavate the area. At a depth of nine feet, they found a lead cross inscribed with the words: “Here lies the body of King Arthur.” Sixteen feet below that was a stone sarcophagus containing the bones of a man nine feet tall. Skeptics put forth the argument that the lead cross could have been forged by local abbots wishing to draw attention (and donations) to their abbey. Such an argument, however, fails to address the fact that the nine-foot skeleton discovered beneath the cross would tend to negate the notion that this could have been a mere hoax. Later, in the early 1500s, another gigantic coffin was disinterred, and found to contain a skeleton eight feet and three inches tall. History fails to record what became of these later bones, although those of Arthur were respectfully re-interred.
- The Cyclopses: The Cyclopses were one-eyed giants in Greek mythology. It was said that they built the city of Mycenae in Greece out of massive blocks weighing many tons each. This is why similar constructions found at Baalbek, Lake Titicaca and elsewhere are referred to as having “cyclopean” architecture.
- The Cabiri: This was a race of giant blacksmith gods said to live in hollowed-out volcanoes. They had tattoos on their foreheads of a large solar disc, leading to speculation that the myth of the one-eyed Cyclopses may have originated with them.
- The Cimbri: These were giants living in Celtic Gaul. They had long manes of blond hair and a fierce, warlike demeanor, all of which led them to be compared to lions. They were also known as the “Cimmerians”, which may be suggestive of a Sumerian connection.
It was difficult in writing the foregoing descriptions not to make them all sound incredibly redundant. But in order to state the basic facts in their simplest form, redundancy was a necessity, because all of these legends involve essentially the same story told over and over again. In some instances, not only were the stories identical, but so too were the names of the protagonists, such as Kukulcan/Cuculainn, and Votan/Wotan.
It is astounding enough that we should see identical myths in places as widely removed from one another as South America and the British Isles, but that the names of the respective flood heroes so echo one another is utterly remarkable. It would seem an altogether reasonable conclusion to draw from such evidence that perhaps these myths might have some basis in truth. Perhaps the figures were indeed real men, and perhaps those men were giants.
But if a real race of giants once inhabited the Earth, why haven’t people in recent centuries been digging up gigantic skeletons? According to author Stephen Quayle, they have. Quayle recently published Genesis 6 Giants, the result of over thirty years of research into Grail lore. The book is replete with biblical and extra-biblical accounts of giants, mythological accounts of giants, profiles on famous giants in history, and countless reports of people across the globe digging up the remains of giants. What follows are a few accounts of such excavations:
- Item: In 1891, at Crittenden, Arizona, some workers digging the foundation of a new building at a depth of eight feet struck a huge stone sarcophagus. When they were able to open the lid, inside were the remains of a nine-foot-tall giant which time had reduced mostly to a pile of dust.
- Item: While searching in a cave near the great canyon of Barranc de Cobre in northern Mexico in the early 1930s, explorer Paxton Hayes came across 34 mummified men and women. All had blond hair. All rose to heights between seven and eight feet.
- Item: In 1833, soldiers digging a pit at Lompock Rancho, California unearthed a twelve-foot-tall giant with double rows of teeth, both on top and on the bottom. The Lompock giant’s teeth, while unusual, were not unique. Another ancient skeleton later found on Santa Rosa Island off the coast of California showed the same dental peculiarity.
- Item: In 1879, some Indiana archeologists dug into an ancient burial mound in Brewersville, Indiana and unearthed a human skeleton that measured nine feet and eight inches in length. The bones, which were stored in a grain mill, were swept away in the 1937 Flood.
- Item: In the 1880s, while digging in a mound at Sayre in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, a reputable group of antiquarians found skeletons of humans measuring not only above seven feet tall, but having skulls with horns about two inches above the eyebrows.) The diggers, including two professors and a Pennsylvania state historian, turned what they found over to the American Investigating Museum in Philadelphia, but the bones were afterwards either misplaced, stolen, or lost.
- Item: In 1903, on an archeological outing at Fish Creek, Montana, Professor S. Farr and his group of Princeton University students came across several burial mounds. Choosing one to dig into, they unearthed the skeleton of a man about nine feet tall. Next to him were the bones of a woman who had been almost as tall.
- Item: Nature, in its December 17, 1891 issue, reported that at a depth of fourteen feet into a large Ohio burial mound, excavators found the skeleton of a massive man in copper armor. He wore a copper cap, while copper moldings encased his jaws. Copper armor also protected his arms, chest and stomach. At his side lay the skeleton of a woman, probably his wife.
- Item: In the 1860s, some excavators digging up a hill in Marion, Ohio uncovered thirty skeletons who ranged in height from seven to eight feet.
- Item: In the early years of the twentieth century, a team clearing out bat guano from a cavern near Lovelock, Nevada discovered several giant cadavers measuring well over eight feet in height. Their hair, still intact, was said to have been long and “reddish” in color.
The foregoing accounts, taken almost in their entirety from Quayle’s Genesis 6 Giants, have been culled from a wide variety of sources, and represent only a small sample of those documented. They are largely reports from the United States, but reveal striking similarities to kindred finds in Europe, South America, the British Isles, Africa, China, the Middle and Near-East, Australia, and New Zealand – that is to say, virtually every corner of the earth.
Though the tales vary in detail, the fundamentals of the stories are often quite cohesive: giants corpses, frequently with light-colored hair, generally buried at a depth of between nine and twelve feet, and often interred with artifacts made of copper. Some accounts report the presence of items bearing strange hieroglyphs or symbols. That several of these finds were excavated from burial mounds seems to lend credence to the stories told to early settlers by Native Americans, i.e., that they didn’t know who built the mounds, because they were already there at the time that the “natives” arrived.
A number of Native American tribes (such as those in Colorado) have folk tales relating that a race of giants lived in America at a time prior to when their ancestors came there. Still others tell the story that a group of giant white gods came to live among them, after their own homeland (called the “White Man’s Island”) was destroyed by a flood.
It is almost a certainty that some Native American tribes not only coexisted with the giants, but also interbred with them, because the earliest explorers to the New World repeatedly documented coming into contact with Indian tribes of gigantic stature. Such episodes are noted in the chronicles of Amerigo Vespucci, Magellan, Coronado, De Soto, and Sir Francis Drake, both in North and South America.
Though the numerous accounts cited earlier are compelling, and are certainly supported by the eyewitness accounts of some of the world’s most esteemed and illustrious explorers, the sad fact remains that the most persistent commonality between all of these tales seems to be that the bones – the physical evidence – have all somehow gone missing. In some instances, this can be explained by the fact that local authorities, presuming the remains to be the property of indigenous peoples (Native Americans, Aborigines, Maoris, etc.), simply turned them over to tribal chieftains for reburial, and this without taking a single photograph, X-Ray, or DNA sample for testing (so as not to profane the relics).
Of course, the lion’s share of these discoveries were made in the 1800s, and many far earlier, at a time in which the rights of indigenous peoples and regard for their religious institutions constituted a matter of far less circumspection than in recent years. If, as Stephen Quayle seems convinced, there is a concerted conspiracy of silence surrounding this archeological evidence, then it is a conspiracy of, well, gigantic proportions. The accounts of these giant remain are too numerous and too far-flung for all of them to have been lost, stolen, or secreted away. And yet, I truly believe the accounts. They are supported not only by an overwhelming body of evidence found in mythology, but an equally overwhelming body of archeological evidence.
Witness the ruins of the many cyclopean cities referred to earlier. No one knows with any certainty either who built them, or (more importantly) how they were built. Witness the vast complexes of tunnels and underground cities associated with the fallen angels, and recall that many of their myths include the detail that they dwelt in underground kingdoms. Again, no one knows who built these cities or how they were built. But an interesting fact to keep in mind is that the tunnels associated with them were generally nine, ten, or even twelve feet in ceiling height (the same average heights as those of the giant skeletons found). Such tunnels can be found in South America, the Middle East, and even the Pacific Northwest of the United States. They are reputed to exist still undiscovered in Europe, Egypt, and the British Isles.
Regular readers of this magazine will already be aware of what a pivotal role the story of the Watchers plays in regards to our own research into the Grail mythos and the bloodline connected to it. So many avenues of inquiry central to our own basic thesis seem to have a direct relationship to the Giant lore connected with the Watchers. The kings of Atlantis? Giants. The Shining Ones? Giants. King Arthur, a figure central to the Grail lore? Also, a giant.
One of the first well-known paintings on the theme of Arcadia, Et in Arcadia Ego by Guercino, depicts a fairly straightforward and seemingly insignificant scene of a man gazing upon an apparently trepanned skull. When I looked at it, there seemed to be no hidden symbolism discernable. Until, that is, I noticed what appeared to be an odd disparity in proportion. The skull, for as close as it was relative to the onlooker, seemed far larger than it should have been.
Since the painter’s execution of this painting seemed masterly in every other respect, I concluded that perhaps his intent was to portray an oversized skull. Perhaps it represented the skeletal head of one of the primordial patriarchs of the Grail bloodline. If, as has been said, the grave of an ancient sacred king was somehow at Rennes-le-Chateau, perhaps those discovering it would open the tomb of a giant, a descendant of the Nephilim.
As time passed, and our research progressed, this initially abstract idea seemed increasingly possible. After reading ancient apocryphal texts which indicated that a number of biblical patriarchs were giants, it seemed altogether probable. Ultimately, reading about Abraham’s burial in the Cave of Treasures, I came to suspect that something far more profound might lie in wait at Rennes-le-Chateau. Abraham was an astrologer and magician who was said to have “traced his ancestry back to the Giants.” Upon his death, his body was carried to the Cave of Treasures, an underground necropolis where the bodies of all previous patriarchs were also interred, down to and including Adam and Eve. (NemosNotes: This last sentence on Abraham is unlikely and does not match up with our research into the Lineages on this website)
In addition, the Cave included treasures, relics, and a sacred archive of his progenitors. While treasures and relics are of interest to archeologists and museum-going looky-loos, and sacred archives can be dismissed by academics as mere superstitious hyperbole, such items found in the context of a necropolis of gigantic skeletons might well constitute the basis for a rethinking of world history. These people constituted a living remnant of the antediluvian world, the mythological “First Time.” And since myth and history record that their final resting place was together, in a single location, I can only assume that they are still there.

The Biblical Enemies of God
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
~Genesis 6:1-6
Colossians 2:8 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Numbers 13:31-33 King James Version (KJV)
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
“Another reason for a giant cover-up I can sense is one of them protecting the Godless dichotomy of evolution. I can remember in Sunday school being told of the story of David and Goliath. I always hated when people stripped the story of its authenticity by explaining it as an allegory because their indoctrinated minds didn’t accept the existence of giants. It is in that very indoctrination that one can see the reason for the suppression. The existence of giants directly contradicts the religion of evolution and supports a more biblical view of mankind’s origins. In an evolutionary world view we should be in a constant forward evolution where we would be getting bigger, stronger, and smarter. However, the evidence that can be researched leans to just the opposite. When scientists examine the small allotment of elongated giant skulls we can see huge cranial mass. The seams in the skull are even different; that rules out ancient head binding tribes. Head binding tribes doesn’t explain the cranial mass, clear genetic differences, or often times second rows of teeth. Once again this leans to the opposite of evolution. I would be as inclined to say that in reality we are de-evolving and in a very strange way that I cannot really find the words to explain I believe it to be a divine plan for it to be this way. ”
Some believe that the watchers intended to help mankind as they left their first estate to gain favor with the Father through the redemption of man but were unaware of the allure of the flesh and the power of its persuasive nature, the captivity of it, and the slavery it brings onto one’s self when taken on. That their folly was one that also had its origins in deceit by the enemy. The carrot on the stick was the favor of the Father and they marched right off the edge reaching for it. I believe it was the enemy’s covert plan to corrupt the bloodline of man with the fallen angels to a point that Christ could not enter this world through flesh and negate The Fathers redemptive plan for man’s own folly at Eden. The giants of old both pre-flood and post-flood and their lingering spirits are just a byproduct of a thwarted plan to wreck man’s salvation. The Father in His perfect wisdom knew how to repair the damage His Angels had caused and protected the bloodline of His son. It would come in the form of a purge. It began with a clean slate as the earth was washed over by water. Then a plan of redemption and reclamation was loosed from the Father’s center and His word was sent forth to illuminate the path home.
The Nephilim Giants of Scripture – And Why Christians Should Care.
“9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.”
~Isaiah 14:9-11, Depicting the Nephilim kings of a bygone era now confined to Sheol, marveling that the rebel from Eden has been humbled like them.
HIDDEN HISTORY of Giants
The Sumerian Civilization tells of a race of giants which ruled over the Sumerians, and there are many depictions of them. Sumerian records speak of a giant king by the name of Gilgamesh who ruled for 126 years. He is generally seen by scholars as an actual historical figure since inscriptions have been found which confirm the existence of other figures associated with him. In Ancient Egypt, there are hundreds of depictions of giants, and the Egyptian records describe the old pharaoh dynasties to be a race of tall giants, and hundreds of giant sarcophagus were also found, but the mummies there were long looted. The Book of Genesis, which is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, tells us the story of an ancient giant race called the Nephilim. The story of the Nephilim giants is further elaborated in another ancient manuscript – The Book of Enoch. Apparently, the Watchers who were fallen angels, interbred with the women on earth, and as a result, the Nephilim giants were born.
We now know Giants make up much of the land and mountains we see on earth. They were huge, Enoch says some were 3000 els, which is over 4000 feet tall! But there were also lots of smaller ones, from 9 to 30 feet, found worldwide. Men were shorter in the 1800’s too, which made a six foot man very big. As I said, we know the some of the big ones are in the mountains and the earth itself, who were drowned in the flood and were petrified.
This video contains just 20 of the over 3000 legitimate reports from newspapers kept at the library of Congress of giants and their remains, found all over the U.S and worldwide. Documenting finds from early America, the Grand Canyon, Lubbock Caves of New Mexico, Eastern American mound builders, copper giants, a case of a cyclops, even a thirty footer from early reports. Many of the burials include interesting artifacts. Most are lost now as the entities* (named below) that took the items now deny their existence. We can see from these reports that real giants are documented at hundreds of locations, with countless archaeological finds showing their culture and lifestyle, yet they’re ignored or called fake even when the evidence that they’re real is undeniable.
*From their website: *The Smithsonian Institution* was established with funds from James Smithson (1765-1829), a British ‘scientist’ (read operative) who left his estate to the United States to found “at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.”
“After eight years of sometimes heated debate, an Act of Congress signed by President James K. Polk on Aug. 10, 1846, established the Smithsonian Institution as a trust to be administered by a Board of Regents and a Secretary of the Smithsonian. Since its founding, more than 170 years ago, the Smithsonian has become the world’s largest museum, education, and research complex, with 19 museums, the National Zoo, and nine research facilities,”…
Clearly, for more than 170 years no less, the Smithsonian has been central in the plot to bury the truth of Giants and the amazing findings of technology and culture found along with them. They’ve tried to bury these facts, then tried to use the lack of giants as evidence that the Bible is untrue. They call this falsification of facts “a lack of evidence”, and have used this rationale to affect the physical sciences, such as the age of the earth and humanity’s place in that timeline.
The Bible tells us the Giants are real and they will come again. This can’t be acknowledged by secular society as they would have to rewrite all historic and scientific texts, and admit they were wrong.
The Book of Enoch says they were as tall as 3,000 els, or 4,000 feet, as tall as a mountain! The Holy Bible and many researchers have undeniable evidence and many archaeological sights which prove that giants and Nephilim are real. They were tremendous creatures who had an advanced worldwide culture. All archaeologists will tell you that human civilization springs from the earth fully formed, with advanced technologies like metallurgy, weapons, laws, arts and cities. The rule in archaeology is the deeper one digs, the higher the quality of the building structure, and the more advanced the concepts. We have had advanced technology from the beginning of human existence. This was the knowledge that was passed from the Fallen Angels to the Nephilim, the giants and all ancient human cultures. Which is why all ancient cultures have those correlated traits in their histories. The Hindu and Vedic texts of the Mahabharata tell of huge, powerful creatures doing battle in the air, so does the Book Of Giants, the Book Of Og, the mirrored myths in Babylon, Greece, Rome, Persia, Africa, The Americas (Sasqehana, Olmec, Inca, Maya, American Indians, The Moundbuilders who drained the copper mines near the great lakes)… the Philippines, Hawaii, Australia, China, Tibet, Russia… you name it….all over the world every culture mirrors these tales. They’re identical, aside from the names of the characters. (*All cultures have an Adam & Eve story and tell of a flood narrative, every single one.*) Interesting that the giants are said to have a home near Mt. Meru where they have 26 towns made for them, and that their language there was Arya-Vezan, or Aryan-Vedic (the two main splits of language on earth from east to west).
HIDDEN HISTORY – Nephil Children of The Nephilim
To write the adventures of Gargantua and Pantagruel, Rabelais was inspired by a popular legend of northern France, the legend of Gargantua and the Flanders Giants. This story is not unique: in Russia, Scandinavia, America, Australia, Dogon Yoruba or Inuit country, China, Japan, India or Middle-East, multiple sources tell the legendary adventures of the ancient giants. Where did these traditions came from?
“In the past, giants walked the earth.
The Bible often involve giants: Nephilim were semi-divine beings. The King Og had an iron bed 6.7ft by 14: he would be at least 12ft tall. Goliath, the gigantic rival that King David brought down with his sling, was 9.2ft tall.
The Bible, ancient legends and grandmothers tales looks hardly convincing to skeptics, some would say. Doubt is healthy, so I respect it.
If the ancient giants were imaginary, would they have left their mark everywhere on this planet?
A giant footprint called the “double footprint of god” can be seen in Ain Dara, Syria. 300% the length of normal men’s feet. Other huge footprints can be found in South Africa, South America, Arabic countries … The giants were everywhere, sooner or later everyone will admit.
In Rome about 235, they said the Thracian Maximinus Caesar had a 8.6ft skeleton.
Hindu mythology introduces giants of all kinds. The best known are the devas, lower gods manifested in the guise of excessive beings. The heroes like Krishna or Arjuna -both demigods- could take at will the appearance of giants.
Celtic mythology also mentions a lot of giants. First of all are the legendary Tuatha De Danann, the people of goddess Dana. To the Celts of Ireland, the Tuatha were the builders of the megaliths, defeated by the Celts at the battle of Mag Tuired.
North American Giants
We owe a special award to the North American legends. “The Iroquois, the Osage, the Tuscaroras, the Hurons, the Omahas, and many other North American Indians all speak of giant men who once lived and roamed in the territories of their forefathers. All over what is now the U.S. are traditions of these ancient giants.”
Hundreds of controversial discoveries resurface thanks to the internet join with the good work of amateur archaeologists -who are free to express their opinion when professional archaeologists are not.
Off the California coast, ancient articles are many. Thousands of giant skeletons have been reported with blond or red hair streaks. This story attracts the attention of tourists who visit the strange Ralph Glidden museum on Catalina Island …
In 1913 already, Dr. AW Furstenan – German naturalist – has taken hold of the case. He unearthed a 8 feet skeleton accompanied by different objects. People said that a giant of noble race formerly lived there and that he and his descendants had disappeared long before the white man arrived on the islands.
In other regions of the USA, legends but also old press clippings mentioned similar discoveries of tall men or giants, and of red hair big sized tribes. Do we see the traces of the famous Tuatha de Danann and later Norse and Celtic giants?
Sumer Giants
The Sumerians too said that the first men were giants. So were the former gods.
A fairly common thing is showed in their paintings. They show tall and small people together. At first glance, except for a specialist, one doesn’t really matter the difference in size between the characters, because one thinks that the little characters are in the background, so they appear smaller.
This is definetely a modern way of thinking. In the ancient times, the laws of perspective were unknown, the first and the background did not differ in size. So what did it mean?
The little characters are men. And the great ones are giants. Just compare them to the animals’ size.
In India, gigantic fossilized footprints has been honoured since the dawn of time. The fellow could cross a river in a single step. No seven-league boots for him!
The Heart Of A Giant
The mummified heart of a Norse giant was discovered in Scandinavia. The inscription on the casket is written in old Norse runes and reads: “Behold! Within this casket lies the heart of the fierce and terrible giant known as Hrungnir, slain this day by Fafrd the Red whose bravery and cunning shall live forever!”
Unfortunately, no date was on the inscription. It is not known whether mummified heart tissues were examined by scientists to determine if it is indeed an oversized human heart.
Giant Skeletons
Over the centuries, many giant human fossils have been unearthed that scientists can no longer speak of singularities. But prestigious institutions such as the Smithsonian Institute, are strongly suspected of having destroyed the embarrassing evidence … An impressive list of giants listed in the US is visible here.
A Nevada Indian legend mention the existence of 12 ft tall red-haired giants who lived in the area when the Indians first arrived. The story says the Native American had killed off the giants down in a cave. Excavations of guano in 1911 turned up this human jaw. Here it is compared to a casting of a normal man’s jawbone. In 1931 two skeletons were found in a lake bed. One was 8′ tall, the other just under 10′ tall. Have a look at this huge fossilized bone belonging to a gigantic humanoid.
Many tombs containing giants were uncovered there. Near Gargayan (Philippines), were found the bones of a giant who measured no less than 17 ft. His incisors were 2.75″ long and 1.9″ wide. Bones belonging to a 9 ft. tall human have been discovered in Southeast China. Dr. Pei-Wen Chung, world-renowned paleontologist, said the remains date back 300,000 years.
In 1577, in the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, an uprooted oak reveals a human skeleton over 20 ft. In 1613, near the castle of Chaumont (F) a nearly complete 26.3 ft skeleton was exhumed.
In 1879 a 8.7 ft human skeleton was recovered under a mound of stone, Brewersville (USA).
In 1931, two 11.6 ft skeletons were found, one in a Italian coal mine and the other in Humboldt Lake (USA).
Different Sizes
From the human scale to that of the Carthaginian giants, giants’ fossils of all sizes have been identified until now.
The most incredible discovery took place near Carthage, when the city still existed 23 centuries ago: the diggers unearthed two 36 ft skeletons!
Near Agadir, Morocco, a prehistoric workshop tools was unearthed dated to 300,000 years. Among other things, there were two axes with a weight of 17.6 lb and grasping requires the hand of a giant at least 13 ft.” In Texas, the Valley of the Giants, Dr. CN Dougherty reports that they found “hundreds of dinosaur tracks of different species and in each case, they were accompanied by traces of giant human footprints.”
In Mount Victoria, Arkansas, USA, same scenario. In Mount York, Australia, same scenario. In Valence, France, same scenario.
Dr. Rex Gilroy, Australian archaeologist, director of the Mount York Natural History Museum, recently discovered “fossil imprints of feet of giant whose authenticity could not be questioned.”
Not to mention the discovery near Valence (France) in 1456, a skeleton that measured more than 7 meters.
Even if the pictures are missing – and for good reason – the testimony of trustworthy people excludes any fake.
Still in 2014, Dr Robert Schoch was pictured next to an imprint of a giant. The scene is in South Africa where a bunch of new archaeologists had a congress. The giant foot is 1m50 long.
It means a twelve meters tall man. Definitely not a hobbit! This giant footprint seems to give credence to both their presence on earth and their ability to soften stone, as may be judged.
In this photo, we see the detail of the print, realistic enough not to be a fake. However real, these footprints seem too huge for science interest.
The Giant Skulls of USA
Many giant skulls and skeletons have been found over centuries in Texas, USA. Hereare the references for those who want to check it out.
“Now thousands of skulls dug up with arrow points in them. A major archaeological discovery recently occurs in Kansas. The greatest prehistoric battle and burying ground yet discovered in the United States has just been found near the little town of Redlands, Kansas. It lies on the northern border of the Choctaw Indian reservation and near the Arkansas River.
Prof. Edwin Walters, the archaeologist who discovered it, states that from extensive excavations he has made he believes that nearly 100,000 warriors met death at that point and that the battle occurred 20,000 years ago. He goes a step further and declares the battle was fought between the mound builders and the Maya Toltec race, the latter coming from Yucatan and striving to wrest the Mississippi valley from the mound builders.
The skulls have narrow, retreating foreheads and projecting chins and the skeletons vary greatly in length, some seeming to be those of dwarfs and others of a giant race.
The Giant Child of Peru
Down is a mummy skeleton of a giant toddler, found in Cuzco, Peru. “It is currently housed at the Ritos Andinos Museum, which is located far southeast of Lima. A hole in the mummy’s skull indicates that it had a fontanel, which is an area of connective tissue atop a baby’s head that later fills in with bone.
Like modern babies, the skull is larger than the rest of the body. But the strangest feature is that the skull is 20 inches long, which is larger than normal adult skulls. And it has molars that usually appears between approximately 13 and 19 months. So we are looking at a child under two years old with an enormous head.”
In the book “Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum,” Archbishop Adalbert’s team of Frisian explorers told of encountering giant human beings living in caves and underground hollows during their 1035 Polar expedition.

GIANTS IN THE LAND: A BIBLICAL THEOLOGY OF THE NEPHILIM, ANAKIM, REPHAIM (AND GOLIATH)
(Partial Excerpt from article by Zachary Garris)
Christians, including many pastors and scholars, tend to gloss over the references to giants in the Bible. Yet giants play an important role in the biblical story, particularly in relation to their occupation of the Promised Land. As will be seen, Israel initially refused to enter the land because of giants, and only men of great faith (Joshua, Caleb, and David) were able to defeat them.
The Sons of God and Giant Nephilim (Genesis 6:1-4)
The first mention of giants in the Bible is the Nephilim in Genesis 6:1-4. I have previously argued that the “sons of God” were spirit beings that mated with women and produced the Nephilim. The phrase “sons of God” elsewhere refers to spirit beings/angels (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7), and Genesis 6:1-2 contrasts this group with all of mankind (not some subset such as Cain’s line), meaning they are non-human. The common view that this was the mixing of the lines of Seth and Cain assumes that everyone in Seth’s line was godly and everyone in Cain’s line was wicked. This is not something the text ever claims. Furthermore, alternative views (also including the kingly-line view) fail to explain how this intermarriage produced mighty (giant) warriors:
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown (Genesis 6:4).
It is important to note that Genesis 6:4 never explicitly calls the Nephilim “giants.” However, the Nephilim have often been considered giants because of the description of the giants in the land as those who come from the Nephilim in Numbers 13:32-33. Also, the Septuagint translates both the Hebrew נְּפִלִ֞ים (Nephilim) and גִּבֹּרִ֛ים (gibborim, “mighty men” or “men of renown”) in Genesis 6:4 as γίγαντες (gigantes, “giants”).[1] (It may be that the Septuagint translated Nephilim as “giants” because of the account in Numbers 13, though some think Nephilim comes from the Aramaic word naphiyla for giant.[2])
Whether descendants of the Nephilim were actually in the land of Canaan is uncertain, as the Israelite spies may have been exaggerating their account. However, exaggeration is unlikely because Genesis 6:4 says the Nephilim were on the earth “in those days, and also afterward” and the link between the Anakim and Nephilim in Numbers 13:33 seems to be an editorial comment (possibly referring back to Numbers 6:4). At minimum, the claim in Numbers 13:33 shows that the Israelites were aware that the Nephilim of old had a reputation of being giants (more on this below).
In the context of Genesis 6, God sent the flood to wipe out violent humans, including the Nephilim, seen in the language of “all flesh” (Genesis 6:12-13). God continued the human race through Noah, a new Adam, who was not tainted by Nephilim blood. Noah’s direct lineage is given all the way back to Adam (Genesis 5:1-32), and he is said to be “blameless in his generations” (Genesis 6:9), possibly referring to his pure line—notice the plural “generations” (דֹֽרֹתָ֑יו). In spite of the flood, giants eventually made a comeback and dwelt in the land of Canaan.
Nephilim and Anakim in the Land of Canaan (Numbers 13:21-33)
Numbers 13 is the key passage on giants in the land of Canaan. When Israel left Egypt and was in the wilderness seeking to enter the Promised Land, Moses sent 12 Israelite spies (one from each tribe) to Canaan. The spies were to scout out the land and assess “whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak” (Numbers 13:18). The spies returned to Moses after 40 days and gave a good report about the land—“It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit” (Numbers 13:27). However, they gave a bad report about the people in the land:
However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan (Numbers 13:28-29).
Caleb, one of the spies, urged Israel to go up and occupy the land, but the other spies (except Joshua) said they were not able because the people there were stronger (Numbers 13:30-31). Then the “bad report” got even worse:
The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them (Numbers 13:32-33).
The spies lacked faith and were rightly judged for their unbelief. Israel was made to wander the wilderness for 40 years (one year for each day of spying) so that the adults would all die out. God even killed the 10 unfaithful spies with a plague, sparing only Caleb and Joshua (Numbers 14:20-38). However, what concerns us here is the report of giants in the land. Was their report accurate? If so, this would help explain why the spies were so fearful.
While it is possible that the spies were exaggerating their account of the people in the land, this exaggeration must be limited. This is because Moses confirms the spies’ account in Deuteronomy 9:1-2, where he says that Israel would cross the Jordan to “dispossess nations greater and mightier than you, cities great and fortified up to heaven, a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the sons of Anak?’” (cf. Deuteronomy 1:28; 2:10). The people in the land, particularly the Anakim, were in fact tall and mighty.
Who were the Anakim? They were descendants of a man name Anak, whom we are told had three sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai (Joshua 15:14; Judges 1:10, 20). Joshua later devoted the Anakim to destruction, only leaving them in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod (Joshua 11:21-22). (1 Samuel 17:4 says that Goliath was from Gath, leading us to conclude he was a descendant of Anak.) Caleb is said to have driven out the Anakim from Hebron (Joshua 14:12; 15:14; Judges 1:20), a city that was formerly called Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, who “was the greatest man among the Anakim” (Joshua 14:15; cf. Judges 1:10).
Numbers 13:33 mentions that these sons of Anak “come from the Nephilim” (which is the only explicit connection between the Anakim and Nephilim in Scripture). Is this claim correct? Since Moses never mentions the Anakim as coming from the Nephilim, this may be the part that the spies fabricated in order to support their case against entering the land. However, there are three reasons for believing the statement in Numbers 13:33 is correct and that the Anakim in fact came from the Nephilim:
Genesis 6:4 says the Nephilim were on the earth at a later time—“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward.” The “afterward” is presumably after the flood. Numbers 13:33 is the only other mention of Nephilim in Scripture, so this would explain the comment in Genesis 6:4.
The spies’ claim to have seen the Nephilim in Numbers 13:33 is followed with what reads like an editorial comment that seeks to connect the reference of the “sons of Anak” in 13:28 with the reference to Nephilim in 13:33—“the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim.” In this case, the author of Numbers considered the spies’ report of the Nephilim accurate and then added his own explanation that the Anakim came from the Nephilim.
This connection between Anakim and the Nephilim in Numbers 13:33 is the only apparent explanation as to why some of the Canaanites were so tall. While some scholars suggest that these were only giants relative to the shorter Israelites (meaning six feet would be tall), Og’s bed and Goliath’s height suggest these were in fact genuine giants over nine feet tall (see below).
If the giants in the land came from the Nephilim, how did this happen when the Nephilim were wiped out in the flood? While some argue that the flood was only local, this would still be an unlikely explanation because the flood was intended to wipe out the Nephilim in Genesis 6. Thus there are two likely explanations: (1) The same event transpired later in history, as spirit beings again bred with women and produced more Nephilim; (2) Nephilim genes were passed down through Noah’s daughters-in-law. These wives of Ham, Shem, and Japheth were not descended from Noah and thus potentially had Nephilim genes in them.
Moses Defeats Og of Bashan, One of the Last Rephaim (Deuteronomy 3)
Israel was afraid of the giants in the land of Canaan, and it would have to be a later generation that dealt with the giants under Joshua’s leadership. However, Israel still had to deal with a giant while in the in the wilderness, Og of Bashan. As Israel went up the way to Bashan, King Og came out against them for battle.
Yahweh gave Og into Israel’s hand, and they “devoted” Og’s people to destruction (herem), leaving no survivors, just as they had done to Sihon king of the Amorites (Deuteronomy 3:6). (This victory is celebrated in Psalm 135:11 and 136:20.) We are told that both Og and Sihon were considered Amorite kings (Deuteronomy 3:8). Then we read this fascinating verse:
For only Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron. Is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the common cubit (Deuteronomy 3:11).
Seeing that a cubit was about 18 inches, Og’s bed was about 13 feet 6 inches long. This suggests he was a giant. On top of this, Og is said to be the last remnant of the Rephaim. Both Joshua 12:4 and 13:12 also say Og was of the remnant of the Rephaim, which the LXX interestingly translates as “giants” (γιγάντων).
Who were the Rephaim? They were likely the descendants of a giant named Rapha. Rapha (רָפָה) is mentioned six times in the Bible (2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20, 22; 1 Chronicles 20:6, 8), in contrast to the more common plural Rephaim (רְפָאִ֥ים). Though some translations like the ESV take this as “giants,” Rapha is probably a proper name.
Deuteronomy 2 provides some interesting information about the Rephaim. It says the Rephaim were as “tall as the Anakim,” but were mostly wiped out by Yahweh (Deuteronomy 2:21). The Ammonites called the Rephaim by the name “Zamzummim” (Deuteronomy 2:20). Deuteronomy 2:10-11 says that the “Emim” were also as “tall as the Anakim,” but then it says that both the Anakim and Emim “are also counted as Rephaim.” This is important, as it links the Anakim with the Rephaim. While Og was one of the last of the Rephaim, there were still Rephaim in the land, namely the Anakim and the “descendants of Rapha” in 2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20, 22.
The prior information sheds interesting light on Genesis 14:5-7, where Chedorlaomer “defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the Horites in their hill country of Seir,” in addition to defeating Amalekites and Amorites. It seems Chedorlaomer fought three groups of giants—the Rephaim (the Septuagint actually translates Rephaim in Genesis 14:5 as γίγαντας, “giants”), the Zuzim (which is probably the Zamzummim of Deuteronomy 2:20), and the Emim (Deuteronomy 2:10-11). The Amorites may also have been giants. Amos 2:9-10 says, “the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars,” and Og was also an Amorite (Deuteronomy 3:8).
What is all the more fascinating is that Abraham then went and defeated Chedorlaomer—the giant killer—in order to rescue his nephew Lot (Genesis 14:14-17). These groups, including the Amalekites, Amorites, and Anakim-Rephaim, were still in the land during the time of Joshua (Numbers 13:29, 33). Thus Abraham’s victory in Genesis 14 is a foretaste of Joshua’s later victories over the giants in the land of Canaan.
It is of note that the region of Bashan was in the land of the Rephaim. Og was king of Bashan, and Og was one of the Rephaim giants. But Deuteronomy 3:13 makes this land connection explicit—“The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, all the region of Argob, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of Rephaim . . . ” Scripture calls this both the “land of the Rephaim” (Joshua 17:15) and the “Valley of Rephaim” (Joshua 18:16; 2 Samuel 5:18, 22; 23:13; 1 Chronicles 11:15; 14:9; Isaiah 17:5). Bashan is seen as a place of darkness in the Old Testament and may even be called the “mountain of the gods” (Psalm 68:15). The Hebrew הַר־אֱ֭לֹהִים (har elohim) can be translated as “mountain of God” (as per the ESV) or “mountain of gods” (so false gods/spirit beings) which may make more sense due to the negative associations with Bashan elsewhere.
The Rephaim are also associated in the OT with Sheol, the place of the dead. They are said to be inhabitants of Sheol in the following passages: Isaiah 14:9; 26:14, 19; Psalm 88:10; Job 26:5-6; Proverbs 2:18; 9:18; 21:16. The Hebrew Rephaim is in every one of these passages, yet you would never see this in the English if reading translations like the ESV, NASB, or KJV. Instead, the ESV uses words like “shades,” “dead,” and “departed.” If we leave Rephaim untranslated, this may reveal the role of the dead giants in Sheol, which is distinguished from other dead beings there. The Rephaim are said to rise up to greet the Babylonians when they sink down to Sheol in death (Isaiah 14:9). The false gods that Israelites at times worshipped are described as dead Rephaim that will not rise (Isaiah 26:14). The Psalmist asks whether the Rephaim will rise up to praise God (Psalm 88:10-11; cf. 88:3). The other passages highlight the Rephaim as inhabitants of Sheol (Job 26:5-6; Proverbs 2:18; 9:18; 21:16).
Joshua and Caleb Drive Out the Anakim (Joshua 11; 14–15)
Once Israel entered the land of Canaan under Joshua’s leadership, they had to face the Anakim that the spies in Numbers 13 had feared 40 years prior. Joshua had to be strong and courageous, but with Yahweh fighting for them, he was able to drive out the Canaanites, including the giants (Deuteronomy 1:30-31).
Joshua and Caleb were the only two of the 12 spies who believed that Yahweh would give them victory over the giants in the land (Numbers 13:30; 14:6-9), and thus they were the only two allowed to enter the land 40 years later (Numbers 14:30). It is therefore fitting that Joshua and Caleb drove out those giants, which they did by faith in Yahweh:
And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction with their cities. There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain (Joshua 11:21-22).
Joshua cut off the Anakim and “devoted” (herem) them to destruction (Joshua 11:21), thus carrying out Yahweh’s command for Israel to “devote” the Canaanites to destruction (Deuteronomy 7:1-2). This practice is known as “the ban,” or simply by its Hebrew term חרם (herem), which means to “devote” something to God. The Israelites were to kill the Canaanites as an offering to Yahweh. Though not the primary point of God’s command, the destruction of the Canaanites included the giants who were in the land. Joshua only left the Anakim in three Philistine cities—Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod (Joshua 11:22).
Caleb went to Joshua and said that he was as strong at 85 years of age as he was at 45, after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness (Joshua 14:6-11). Caleb then asked Joshua for Hebron, the land of the Anakim:
So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the LORD said. Then Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel. Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba. (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim.) And the land had rest from war (Joshua 14:12-15).
Hebron was the land of the three sons of Anak (Numbers 13:22). So Caleb received the land of Hebron and drove out the “three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak” (Joshua 15:14; cf. Judges 1:10, 20). Together, Joshua and Caleb drove out the giants that the 10 other spies feared 40 years before.
David Kills Goliath (1 Samuel 17)
As we have seen, Joshua left some Anakim remaining in the Philistine cities of Gath, Gaza, and Ashdod (Joshua 11:22). This is significant for several reasons. First, this means the task that God gave Israel to drive out the Canaanites was not complete (seen more clearly in Judges 1–2). Second, the Philistines, with whom the Anakim remained, became Israel’s chief enemy during the time of Samuel. And third, the Philistines’ champion in 1 Samuel 17 was from Gath.
This puts David’s battle with Goliath in proper context. Goliath was from Gath, one of the three Philistine cities where Anakim remained. Goliath also receives the most explicit description of a giant in all of Scripture:
And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron (1 Samuel 17:4-7).
David did not just defeat some random giant that Saul and the Israelites feared. Rather, Goliath was a remnant of the Anakim that Israel was supposed to drive out of the land of Canaan. The Anakim apparently became aligned with Israel’s new enemy, the Philistines. In killing Goliath, David was finishing the task of herem in Deuteronomy 7 that Joshua began to carry out.
Moreover, Goliath is called a gibbor (גִּבּוֹר), a “mighty man,” in 1 Samuel 17:51, associating him with the gibborim-Nephilim of Genesis 6:4. (The ESV translates gibbor as “champion” in 1 Samuel 17:51, but this is a different Hebrew word than that for “champion” in 17:4.) David, of course, proved to be his own gibbor in defeating Goliath (1 Samuel 16:18).
There has been much discussion over Goliath’s height. The Hebrew text says he was six cubits and a span tall. A cubit was approximately 18 inches and a span nine inches, making Goliath 9 feet 9 inches tall. Many scholars prefer the reading of the Septuagint and an early Hebrew manuscript from Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls), both of which say that Goliath was only four cubits and a span, or about 6’9”. In general, we should prefer the Hebrew Masoretic Text, unless we have good reason to go with alternate readings. There are problems with the MT textual tradition of 1-2 Samuel, so there may be a good reason to favor the alternate readings.[3]
However, thinking 9’9” is too tall for a giant is not a good reason to reject the Hebrew text. We already saw that Og of Bashan had a bed that was over 13 feet long, which cannot be explained well if he were under seven feet tall. This should at least make us open to the idea of Goliath being closer to 10 feet tall. The four cubit and a span reading (6’9”) would make Goliath’s height less impressive, nine inches shorter than the five cubit (7’6”) Egyptian man killed by Benaiah, one of David’s mighty men (gibborim) (1 Chronicles 11:23-24).
There is the possibility that the Septuagint used the longer Egyptian cubit in its description, meaning the Septuagint was essentially in agreement with the Hebrew.[4] The alternative is that there are two variant manuscript traditions, with one of them in error. Most text critical scholars seem to favor the Septuagint and Hebrew DSS reading, but this position is not certain (and still has to explain why the MT has a different number). One principle of text criticism is to prefer the harder reading, and the 9’9” measurement is certainly the harder reading.
It is also important to mention that Goliath wore “scale armor” (שִׁרְי֥וֹן קַשְׂקַשִּׂ֖ים, shiryon qasqasim) (1 Samuel 17:5). This armor weighed over 125 pounds, implying he was massive. Everywhere the term קַשְׂקַשִּׂ֖ים (qasqasim) is used in the OT, it means “scales” (Leviticus 11:9-10, 12; Deuteronomy 14:9-10; Ezekiel 29:4). The ESV only makes one exception, as it translates the word as “coat of mail” here in 1 Samuel 17:5. Though this translation is understandable because chain mail would resemble scales, it obscures an important connection with the serpent (and possibly Dagon).
Scale armor ramps up the significance, as it connects Goliath with the serpent himself. Goliath was the seed of the serpent, and David was of the seed of the woman. Whether Goliath was the biological offspring of the serpent (through the Nephilim) or merely the spiritual offspring, there is a connection with Genesis 3:15. David killed Goliath with a stone to the head, and then he cut off Goliath’s head (1 Samuel 17:48-51). David, the seed of the woman, crushed the head of the seed of the serpent. Thus David’s defeat of Goliath is ultimately a picture of Christ conquering the devil.
The scale armor may also connect Goliath with the Philistine god Dagon, who was possibly a god of the sea. Goliath had cursed David “by his gods,” but in the end it was Goliath who was cursed (1 Samuel 17:43). Like his god Dagon, Goliath fell facedown and his head was cut off (1 Samuel 17:49-51; cf. 5:3-4). Israel’s first king, Saul, fought a serpent in his first battle against Nahash (Hebrew “serpent”), king of the Ammonites, and here David faced his own serpent. David passed the test by defeating the giant serpent and cutting off his head. David was better than Saul, the tall man who feared the Philistine giant (1 Samuel 17:11).
David and His Men Finish Off the Giants (2 Samuel 21; 1 Chronicles 20)
In addition to Goliath, David and his men killed four other giants—all from Gath:
. . . And Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of the giants, whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of bronze, and who was armed with a new sword, thought to kill David. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid and attacked the Philistine and killed him . . . Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was one of the descendants of the giants. And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was descended from the giants. And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck him down. These four were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants (2 Samuel 21:15-22).
Comparing the parallel passage of 1 Chronicles 20:4-8, we observe the following about these giants. Abishai killed the giant Ishbi-benob. Sibbecai killed the giant Saph. (1 Chronicles 20:4 says Sippai, which is probably a variant of the same name). Elhanan killed Goliath the Gittite (though 1 Chronicles 20:5 says he struck down “Lahmi the brother of Goliath”).[5] And Jonathan (David’s nephew) killed the unnamed 24-digit giant.
These four men are described as Rapha (רָפָה), which the ESV translates as “giants” (2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20, 22; 1 Chronicles 20:6, 8). The description of Rapha is related to the word for Rephaim (רְפָאִ֛ים). This connection is made explicit in the use of the plural Rephaim (רְפָאִ֛ים) in 1 Chronicles 20:4 for Sippai and the use of the singular Rapha (רָפָה) for Saph in 2 Samuel 21:18. (Saph and Sippai are likely variant spellings of the same name.) While 2 Samuel 21:15-22 uses the singular Rapha four times, 1 Chronicles 20:4-8 uses Rapha once and the plural Rephaim twice (1 Chronicles 20:6, 8).
As noted above, Rapha is probably a proper name of a giant from whom Goliath was descended. To make the connections clear, the Anakim were “considered” Rephaim (Deuteronomy 2:11, 21). This makes sense, as Goliath and his relatives are associated with both the Anakim and the Rephaim. They were killed by David and his own “mighty men” (גִּבֹּרִ֖ים, gibborim, contra the “mighty men” of Genesis 6:4) (2 Samuel 23:8).
Conclusion—Giants Today
The story of giants starts with the mysterious Nephilim in Genesis 6:4, who were wiped out by the flood. However, the Nephilim are linked with the later Anakim and Rephaim. Ten of the 12 Israelite spies feared going into the land of Canaan because they saw giant Anakim there, and Numbers 13:33 says they came from the Nephilim. Deuteronomy 2:11 says the Anakim were part of the giant group known as the Rephaim. And while in the wilderness, Moses defeated the giant Og of Bashan, who was one of the remaining Rephaim. After wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, Joshua and Caleb—the two faithful spies—then drove out the giant Anakim from Canaan. They “devoted” the Anakim to destruction, though they left some Anakim in Philistine territory (Joshua 11:21-22). One of those cities was Gath, from where Goliath hailed.
Thus the giant Goliath represented not just the Philistines, but the dreaded Anakim—which even Joshua could not fully defeat. Goliath and his fellow Anakim were also considered Rephaim (2 Samuel 21:15-22; cf. Deuteronomy 2:11). And if the Anakim were descended from the Nephilim (as Numbers 13:33 claims) and the Nephilim were the children of fallen angels and women (Genesis 6:4), then this would make Goliath the biological offspring of the serpent (Genesis 3:15). Goliath’s connection to the Nephilim is strengthened by his description as a gibbor, a “mighty” one (1 Samuel 17:51; cf. Genesis 6:4). Furthermore, Goliath wore serpent-like “scale armor” (1 Samuel 17:5). This was a battle between the seed of the woman, David, and the seed of the serpent, the giant gibborim-Nephilim-Anakim-Rephaim warrior named Goliath. By defeating Goliath and his relatives, David completed the conquest that Joshua began.
Papyrus Anastasi is an Egyptian literary text from the 19th Dynasty (around the 13th century B.C.). It is a “scribal training” sheet that includes numerous important historical details about the early Levant, including the names of towns throughout Canaan and Syria.
The text mentions a Levantine tribe called Shasu and its warriors: “The [valley region] is infested with Shasu … some of them are of four cubits or of five cubits, from head to foot, fierce of face, their heart is not mild, and they hearken not to coaxing.” (Source) https://substack.com/redirect/9d3721f3-576c-4b00-93a2-c82f7234e20b?j=eyJ1IjoiMXVkcHE5In0.GwRPQgc-g__1bsYkYBI8crS_C7MXjY_arOuNW8MiTVY
In modern terminology, four to five Egyptian cubits are about 7-8 feet tall

Notes on Cephalic Index (skull Size)
Cephalic index
Cephalic index is “The shape of the human head – by which we mean the general proportions of length, breadth, and height, irrespective of the “bumps of the phrenologist – is ONE of the best available tests of race known” (The Races of Europe, Chap. III, p. 37).”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalic_index
One interesting fact this writer mentions is that the “long-headed” people have any affinity to the sea which the brachycephalics don’t possess. The writer quotes again from Professor Ripley (p. 89 of the above):
“Yet there can be no doubt that certain aptitudes do belong to certain races and breed true from generation to generation. The flat occiput has never shown any aptitude for the sea. All the races which have commanded the sea – the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, Norwegians and British – have long heads with prominent occiputs. It is remarkable that even at the present day the German navy recruits its crews from the western shores, where a long-headed element still manages to survive (ibid., p. 720)”
And so I would suggest that the Cephalic Index does support your position that the Israelites did sojourn in Germany for some time, but have now largely moved on. There remains a small minority of Israelites among the Germans, but apart from the north-western coastal area, they are not a significant minority.
The writer postulates that the Sacae (Saxons) did sojourn for some time in Germany, but then largely moved to western Europe, the British Isles and to Scandinavia. The Sacae were classified as dolichocephalic (long-headed) and archaeological studies reveal that they were present in Germany for some time, but were replaced by brachycephalic (broad-headed) and mesocephalic (round-headed) tribes who also moved into Germany after the Sacae migrations. He also finds that there are still some long-headed (Sacae) Germans living in Germany, although they are limited to the north-west corner of Germany. As one moves from north-west Germany heading south and east, the incidence of dolichocephalic shaped heads significantly decreases to a small minority, and the incidence of the broad-headed individuals predominates.
“We shall soon see from the Bible, and also from secular history that the “original Hebrews” (by which Dr. Kephart meant the Israelites) were primarily an Aryan or Nordic type people after all!”
THE ISRAELITES WERE PREDOMINANTLY NORDICS
Now let us go to history and also to the Scriptures to prove what the pre-captivity people of the Twelve Tribes of Israel were really like. Professor Sayce makes the following significant comment: The names of the Jewish towns captured by the Egyptian King Soshenk … recorded on the walls of the temple of Karnak are each surmounted with the head and shoulders of a prisoner. Casts have been made of the heads by Sir Flinders Petrie, and the racial type represented by them turns out to be Amorite and not Jewish (Sayce, Races of the Old Testament, pp. 115,116).
Note on Ham, Cush, Canaan, Nimrod, etc – These men were seen as the ancestors of the ruling class in various ancient civilizations, and their names were associated with the development of astronomy, astrology, and magic.
