Many historical documents including the old testament and Sumerian writings suggest they did..

The answer to your question however is, of course, no.


Giant humans on the scale represented in that video can not and could never have existed. Not only "unlikely" but flat-out unpossible in the literal sense of my made-up word.


I leave it as an exercise for the ignorant yet easily swayed to figure out why. (In case that was too subtle, that's you Cori )

There have been MANY MANY giant skeletons found across the Earth. To say there were none is stupid.

Of course "mainstream science" and Snopes claim there is nothing to any of this. Mainstream science once thought the Earth was flat and Snopes has been shown to have bias in recording information.

No, it didn't.


But do keep dredging up myths like that... after all, without people like you and Cori, Snopes would be out of business.

In any case, muscle and bone strength does not scale properly to have human-like giants.
