“Modern ‘experts’ firmly reject the idea that there have ever been entire races of giants, and are adamant that our distant ancestors were primitive apelike creatures much smaller than ourselves. Worldwide legends and traditions, on the other hand, assert that there were races of giants in days of old. Theosophy agrees, and says that just as many modern animal and plant species had giant ancestors, so did modern humans.1 Over the past few hundred years, humans have grown slightly taller, but the long-term trend, measured over millions of years, is towards a reduction in stature, with relative ‘dwarves’ and ‘giants’ probably existing in every age.

A surprising number of giant human skeletons have in fact been discovered, some of them reaching heights of 4.6 m (15 ft) or more. In many cases, the present whereabouts of the remains is unknown, and many details about the skeletons and the circumstances of their discovery are lacking, including indications as to their possible age. But to dismiss every such find out of hand as a delusion or hoax would seem to owe more to rank prejudice than to healthy scepticism.”

I thought Wadlow had a disease that caused his abnormal growth? Also I believe he died at age 21 because of it.

Given Senator Clintons 5'+ stature, the large, black man who is fig-leafing on the left appears to be about 10' tall. Making even the ginormous Bill Richardson appear small.

I realize some may say that its just perspective, but how do you explain his chair only be 20% bigger than Hillary's?

Don’t forget the jolly green giant. He made my steamed veggies. I have pictures of him, but the CIA won’t let me release them. So I coded the pictures into the text in issues of time magazine between April and October of 2004. You can find it if you line up all the ones and zeros. Standby for further instructions.

Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that

they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which

they chose.

Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always

strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days

shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and

also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the

daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the

same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of

renown.
