There are many similarities between the Sumerian texts and the bible. According to Graham Hancock, this was the catalyst for a worldwide flood that sent ancient tribes and communities into a world of darkness. Recently, evidence for the flood was found in a crater in the Atlantic Ocean formed by a comet at the time of the Younger Dryas. Plato mentions the flood and Atlantis, dating the destruction to the time of the Younger Dryas around 9,600BC. The Nephilim are said to be “large and strong” and in old Jewish texts are likened to “fallen angels.” They’re described as being men of the old times, or the times that preceded the flood, which also aligns with the Vedic sources.Īrchaeologically speaking, the evidence we have for the flood is scant but it is emerging more and more. Here we have another clue about who these humanoids are. It’s at this time that God was said to have wiped out all the “Nephilim” on Earth with the flood. Let’s wind back even before David and Goliath to the time of Noah and the flood. If the Vedas are correct, then does that mean all humans were giants? Well, not quite. Ancient evidence especially in Canaan is especially scant which makes it hard for archaeologists to paint a comprehensive picture of the past. If giants did live mostly in these very ancient times, that would make sense as to why we don’t have any skeletons of them today. This lines up pretty perfectly when it comes to mythology and archaeology so according to the Vedas, Goliath and the race of giants is highly plausible. Goliath belonged to the Philistines which historians know lived from the 12th century BC. For comparison, Goliath is said to have been between 7 feet and 11 feet tall. By the epoch of Dwapara Yuga (3,100 BCE) humans were said to stand between 8 feet - 6 feet tall. This matches the height of a giant that we would expect today.Īs time goes on however, humans decreased in size. In Satya Yuga humans are 32 feet tall which is about 9.7m tall. Giants were said to live during the golden age or Satya Yuga. In the Vedas, time is measured in epochs called Yugas, which each Yuga lasting several thousand years. They’re almost presented as the ancestors of modern humans. In Indian mythology, called the Vedas, giants are mentioned as early humans. If we look at the mythology from different cultures, a more detailed view of giants begins to emerge. They’re rarely are helpful to humans and are usually the antagonist force (probably because of their sheer height and strength). You might be surprised to learn that these large humans are found in many different cultures around the world. In the bible, the story of David and Goliath presents our first encounter with these humanoids. Many of us first learn about the history of giants on earth as children. However, if we look at different mythologies from around the world, could it be possible that a history of giants exists? Could giants be real? Despite their recurrence in mythology worldwide, we still view giants as fictitious. In our stories of mythology, they have been recorded and alluded to over and over again. Giants are recorded in ancient cultures across our world today.
