Well here is a disease analysis of a 5000 year old man found in ice:

it's really irrelevant what you believe. the only speculations of neanderthals being diseased humans comes from shyster creationists selling misconceptions to dim witted individuals who don't know better.
Problem is the internet has a bunch of false crap on it. However some in Christian circles believe that these giants were hybrids from the fallen angels and humans. I'm on the fence but Gen 6 is where this idea comes from and the Book of Enoch. Also the myth and lore of a lot of cultures have stories of beings coming down out of the sky and even procreating with humans. The Greek/Roman God's and though this maybe myth I believe in myth is truth. Also the Maya and Aztecs. I've seen these pics and looked at some of these sites myself about giant humanoid skeletons but I'd like to see one for myself. LOL

Some of those are Hoaxed. I'm pretty sure that is one of them. The Giant mentioned in the Holy Bible, called Goliath, was about 9 feet tall. So I would seriously doubt any 36 feet tall giants unless the scientific community is in agreement that humans of this size have actually been dug up.

Giants not just Goliath are mentioned. Og was a Giant also. The question is how tall or big? NBA we get the occasional 7' er but the cubit into feet depending on which cubit is used puts Goliath between 7' to 9' so not out of the realm of possibility.

You believe in 36 feet tall giants?
Don't knowe because your book doesn't tell you?
Think!!
All photos of giants are not fake.
No, I do not believe in 36 ft tall giants.
Giants are mentioned in the Book, but only Goliath was measured.
Look at The Guinness Book of Records for the tallest giants of modern times.

Originally posted by RJHinds How tall were these other giants? Book, chapter, and verse would be helpful. I don't recall any other giant being measured.

Deut. 3:11 declares that his "bedstead" (translated in some texts as "sarcophagus" ) of iron is "nine cubits in length and four cubits in width" (13.5 ft x 6 ft) according to the standard cubit of a man.

But that was a measure of his bedstead and not him.
