I know a lady who believes Ancient Giants were real, and that there's a massive world-wide cover-up to keep it quiet.
She told me to check it out on the internet. So, I googled.

There's plenty of links to all kinds of "information".


Thoughts?

Were there once "giants" on planet Earth?
Is there a concentrated effort by some elite group of powerful people trying to keep it quiet?
If so, why? What's to fear about an extinct line of giants?
Or, are they extinct?
 
2800 people are currently over 7 feet tall. One per 1.6m. They leave bones.
 
The Giants were from the New York area.

  • Mabye
Are they extinct?
  • Yes.
Is there a concentrated effort by some elite group of powerful people trying to keep it quiet?
  • No.
Notice how putting the questions in a logical sequence highlights the absurdity of someone or some group that is indeed "elite" bothering itself to hide the fact of an extinct creature's former existence.
 
I absolutely beleive there was a chance that tthere was freak giants but im not sure about a whole race. Maybe 2 peoples genetics just met some weird crazy criteria and it produced a giant, like when a lion and a tiger breed together. Or maybe 20,000 years ago we had sasquatche type "things" that had a slight chance to breed with humans. I think vikings had lore of giant beast men raping women and making super hero type men.



They say there used to be an ancient island with a tribe of giant men... (if they did exist at one point in time they would have been killed / captured by some king and wed prolly never know about it) Just like their might be an ancient immortal dragon bound hidden underground somewhere is King Atlantis' basement.
 
Andre the Giant was 7 foot 4, and not the tallest person in the world. I would not be surprised that past accounts of giants, were just people with similar growth hormone issues
 
I've got a bridge for sale, bit of a cash flow problem, so it's going cheap.

Andre might have been 7 feet - at the very most - when he was at his greatest height before he started shrinking. Pro wrestling used heights just like Barnum and the carnival did.

notice this from the net

André the Giant
French professional wrestler
André René Roussimoff, best known as André the Giant, was a French professional wrestler and actor. He famously feuded with Hulk Hogan, culminating at WrestleMania III in 1987. Wikipedia
Born: May 19, 1946, Coulommiers, Seine-et-Marne, France
Died: January 27, 1993, Paris, France
Billed weight: 520 lbs
Shoe size: 24
Billed height: 7 ft 4 in (224 cm)
Cause of death: Heart Ailment

Not the phrase BILLED HEIGHT.

I know Andre was officially measured as a youth when he had not yet fully grown but know of no official measurement that came later when he was supposedly over 7 feet tall. Hogan was billed at six-foot 8 inches most often and he is actually 6 feet 5. Tiny Lister was also 6 5 and they stood eye to eye and were the same exact height.

Heights and weights in pro wrestling are worked - just like the action is.

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Much like the worldwide flood, legends of Giants exist in almost every culture in the world. From the bible to ancient texts of India, the vedas to native American folklore to ancient Greece. Usually myths and legends begin with a grain of truth, then added to and exaggerated.

Could giants have existed, yeah, they could have. Robert Pershing Wadlow lived in the good old USA and grew to almost nine feet tall. Can you imagine some ancient in one or two thousand BC coming across his bones? Especially when the average height was around five feet.

I don't get why the government or the elites trying to cover up the existences of giants though.

Took the Nobel Committee much to long to consider lyrics as literature, poetry

Greetings, Pero. :2wave:

Some fear knowledge of giants on earth just as they fear the knowledge that aliens have visited this planet and likely are still on it today. It is knowledge that some fear. Yes, as you suggest, powerful people do not want this knowledge to become mainstream because of its implications for conventional theories regarding human history.

Never existed, no cover up, just a myth.

Seems the footage is bogus.

However, this footage has a far more pedestrian origin than any of the theories would have it. The video is actually a scene from the 2007 movie Big Man Japan, a film that featured a wide range of bizarre giant creatures:"

I think the footage is old (probably some old movie?) But it was remade in 2007 (with extremely ****ty graphics)

 
Youre right. Just got halfway through the movie and its him explaining about his Grandpa lol.
