Giants & Nephillim

The "real-life giants hypothesis" generally refers to the idea that legends of giants found in folklore, mythology, and religious texts (such as the Nephilim in the Bible) are based on the historical existence of actual, exceptionally tall human beings. Supported by attested recoveries of giant skeletons from excavations conducted in Native American burial mounds during the early 19th Century, proponents argue this is a forgotten aspect of human history.
