Re: No giants...
Well depends on what you define as giants, neanderthals ranged up to 2,5 meters and that number probably excludes any of them having giants syndrome where you don't stop growing so there should have been at least a few instances of them ranging to 2,8 3 meters. And i would classify that as being a giant.
So giants existed.
But there is a problem with such large size overheating skin does not scale to mass very well so such individuals would need to drink loads of water.

Plus im pretty sure i saw a discover channel documentary that had some hypothesis or theroy that neanderthals somewhere got outperformed because of size and skin ratio but its a long time since iv seen it.

There be giants
Dosent matter the guiness world record guy passes for a giant. And therefore there was at least one giant on earth. Therefore there be giants.
Dont have the time to really check though im willing to give my left nut that i saw some documentary that had some really tall homos, i think it was neandertals but i get that it might be a typo.

Re: There be giants
Giganto is far more likely to be the direct ancestor to Bigfoot than to be part of a race of giants during biblical times.
Yea but there are quite a lot of teeth, curious that its just teeth but it could be a dwarf cock thing.
But think about it today you see individuals that surpass 2,5 m, but 2-2.2,m aint that rare, now add that to the average size being smaller do to nourishment issues they would call them giants.
imagine a bunch o 1,5-1,6 m tall guys seeing a farm bread 2,1 m tall guy they would consider him giant.
And i can totally see a giant person like this die to a little guy in some battle way back when and trough generations of oral traditions it being written down, in some holy book.
still not lending any credence to there being a god, there are cars in harry potter doees that mean harry potter really existed?

There be loads of legends of Giants
There be a legend in a land not fare from me just over the hill along a windy road. It speaks of a man Martin Krpan that liked to trafic wit salt whiteout paying the Cezar's taxes. And this man was a Giant. One evening when a frightful blizzard sowed on a narrow road. He happened upon the Cezar, Make way cried Cezar charrioter but there was no place for the giants although small horse but fully loaded to go. Realising whose chariot it was martin picked up his fully loaded horse by the belly with both hands and moved him away. Curious Cezar asked what are you transporting said Cezar, Sharpening stones my Cezar, he answered. And cezar went and checked a saddle bag and as he opened he saw sharpening stones, but he did not know the stones where only hiding precious salt deeper in the bags. Cezar remembered this years later when all his knights falied to defeat a turkish champion, one on one he challenged scores and none could touch him. so he sent for martin, so as story goes he goes on testing weapons and all of them are useless so he makes an axe, then he chops down a large linden tree in Cezar back yard makes a mace, then he asks for a horse he pulls out every horse Cezar has out of the stable by the tail, then asks his men to try and do that to his horse they cant, so he challenges the turk they ride down the turk slashes his sword it gets traped in the linden mace he knocks him from his horse chops of his head Cezar asks what he wants as a reward he says to trafic salt tac free. and the tax man was pissed.
And there is some evidence for this legend from 300-400 years ago.
