The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them.

“Founder Petrie an early Egyptian archeologist ....”

I believe you mean Flinders Petrie.

There’s no surprise that during that era there were men (Roman Soldiers) that were over 6 foot tall.

Yes someone wrote the article in the modern journalistic inflammatory style. Long on hyperbole & exaggeration short on factual information. Title written purely to catch your intention.

I don’t see the mystery, it was just small Shire Hobbits pressed into to service by the Romans.

My biological father was 6’8” and wore a size 13 boot/shoe. He was a mean, obnoxious SOB, but definitely not a Nephilim-he was of Hispanic ancestry with maybe 1/4 Eastern German. Neither of his 2 brothers were that tall/big-they were maybe 6’3”. My 100% Hispanic mom was 5’4”, my bro is 6’ft, and I’m 5’8”-we are both small, slender frame-not Nephilim. I’ll bet very tall people were more common than we have thought previously in ancient times-just not as common as now...

Grok is basically a more advanced search engine than the classic search engines.

I just asked it the size of a human if his sandals were 32.5cm.

According to Grok, 6’8-8’2, depending on his proportions.

They made giant shoes, left them by the gate. Enemies snuck up at night, took one look at those shoes, and ran away, scared shitless.

You would think the Romans would offer enlistment incentives for very big men. Then a size 13 shoe isn’t so remarkable.
