The Bible clearly states that giants (the Nephilim and their descendants) existed. Mainstream academia dismisses this as mythology. Yet there is substantial historical and archaeological evidence that has been systematically suppressed.
This workbook examines the biblical account, historical evidence, and the documented cover-up.
1Giants in Scripture
What the Bible Says
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Elohim 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." - Genesis 6:4
Biblical References to Giants
Nephilim (Genesis 6:4) - Before and after the Flood
Anakim (Numbers 13:33, Deuteronomy 9:2) - "Sons of Anak"
Emim (Deuteronomy 2:10-11) - Moabite name for giants
Zamzummim (Deuteronomy 2:20) - Ammonite name
Og of Bashan (Deuteronomy 3:11) - Bed was 13+ feet long!
Goliath (1 Samuel 17) - Over 9 feet tall
Og's Bed
"For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron... nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it." - Deuteronomy 3:11
9 cubits = approximately 13.5 feet long!
Key Point
Giants aren't mentioned just once - they appear throughout the Old Testament as real historical peoples that Israel encountered and fought.
South American: Patagonian giants (documented by Magellan)
Irish: Fomorians, giant legends
Hindu: Daityas and Rakshasas
Why would EVERY ancient culture have giant legends if they were purely mythological?
Ancient Historians
Josephus (1st century): Wrote about giant bones being displayed
Herodotus: Mentioned giant remains
Augustine: Wrote of seeing a giant's tooth
Pliny the Elder: Documented giant skeletons
"And the Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; Which also were accounted giants." - Deuteronomy 2:10-11
Consider This
If giants never existed, why do we find giant legends in cultures that had no contact with each other?
3Discoveries in America
Documented Newspaper Reports
Sample Newspaper Headlines (1800s-1900s)
"Giant Skeleton Found" - New York Times, 1902
"Skeleton of Giant Found in Wisconsin" - 1912
"Nine-Foot Skeleton Found" - Various papers
"Giant Indian Skeletons" - Multiple reports
Note: Hundreds of such reports exist in archived newspapers.
Documented Finds
Lovelock Cave, Nevada (1911): Red-haired giants reported by Paiute tribe
Various mounds (Ohio, Wisconsin, etc.): Giant skeletons reported
Stonehenge: Massive stones transported long distances
Puma Punku: Precisely cut giant blocks
Sacsayhuaman, Peru: Giant fitted stone walls
How did "primitive" people move stones that modern cranes struggle with?
Giant Tools and Artifacts
Oversized stone axes found worldwide
Giant stone hammers
Massive stone doors and thrones
Artifacts too large for normal human use
The Logical Question
If giants existed and had great strength:
Megalithic construction makes sense
Giant tools make sense
Ancient "impossible" achievements become possible
"The same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." - Genesis 6:4
Discussion
How does the existence of giants help explain "impossible" ancient construction?
6Giants and the Flood
Before and After
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that..." - Genesis 6:4
Pre-Flood Giants
Result of "sons of Elohim" and "daughters of men"
One reason for the Flood judgment
Corrupted the human bloodline
Called "mighty men" and "men of renown"
Post-Flood Giants
Scripture says "also after that" - giants continued
Possibly through Ham's wife or another line
Canaan was full of giant tribes
Israel was commanded to destroy them
Why Destroy the Giants?
Yahuah commanded Israel to completely destroy certain peoples (Deuteronomy 20:16-17). These were specifically giant-inhabited regions:
The land was corrupted by Nephilim bloodlines
Their practices were abominable
They were connected to fallen angel corruption
Preserving the Messianic line required their removal
"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
7Why This Evidence Matters
Implications of Giant Evidence
If Giants Existed...
The Bible's historical accuracy is confirmed
Genesis 6 describes real events
"Mythology" may be corrupted history
Supernatural intervention in human history is real
The evolutionary timeline is challenged
Why Suppress It?
Giants confirm biblical authority
Giants suggest supernatural origins
Giants challenge evolution's story
Giants connect to fallen angels (unpopular topic)
Academic careers depend on the mainstream narrative
The End Times Connection
Yahusha said the end times would be "as in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37). The days of Noah involved:
Nephilim on the earth
Great wickedness
Corruption of humanity
Understanding giants helps us understand prophecy.
"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." - Matthew 24:37
