A small review: "An encyclopedia of giant lore that starts out by accepting the possibility that larger-than-usual humanoids once existed and goes on to collect evidence for that claim. DeLoach accepts the narratives of the Bible as accurate history, and relies on other sources that are at least open to question, but some of the more modern material he collects rests on stronger foundations."
No, I haven't read this book (yet). It's the only source I can think of for what you want.

Human anatomy does not support humans over 6'6'' very well. Even known 'giants' in the 7-8 foot range tend to suffer lots of health problems and die decades earlier.
Bipedalism as humans do it becomes very dangerous for something that is over 10 feet tall because of our center of mass and bone density, even a minor fall for someone that tall would almost certainly cause major bone fractures.
Giants as actual, physical, terrestrial entities are not real.
>>17593618
It's not physically possible for a creature to be thirty six feet tall with a human shape and skeleton.
>>17596074
Which is why the bones being those of other organisms makes the most sense.

If you believe in evolution then even entertaining this idea should have you realizing that whatever traits that would allow them to be giant sized would be selected for (IE not breaking your bones when you fall over). Extrapolating modern man's body to being giant sized something it was not meant for is not the same as saying giants existed.

This is the mosy likely scenario if giants existed, but they most likely existed way before humans did in one of the hundreds of millions of years before us, they may not have even been human just had similar traits through some sort of convergent evolution

Potential 'fathers' of the giants.
Giants were too big to stay alive. They would've needed special breathing masks to pump air into their lungs or something. If you took those off, they'd die.
>>17593618
It's not a myth, it's true, but they died out.
>>17596074
Bone mass density increases in relation to stress. The average human bone is almost as hard as concrete already. If it was a genetic commonality to be such a size, there Really shouldn't be any problem. Look at Shaq vs someone the same height that carries themself in a weak manor. The human framework could provide a perfectly reasonable structure for giants to a point.
kratos killed them
>>17604355
Precisely. An eight foot tall human will be lucky to live into his 50s. A 12 foot tall human is going to be an unhealthy mess
>>17593618
probably just myth based on reality. there have been recorded instances with proof of people being 7 or 8 feet tall, up to 8'11". most likely from a medical disorder. but you take someone who is 7 or 8 feet tall, put a helmet or hat on them that adds another foot or so, and they're almost double the height of the average person.

7' isn't super uncommon. Fucking rare, sure, but odds are you'll see one or two people that all in your lifetime. I think there's a handful of people in the 8' range on record though, that we actually know were that big, and yeah, they usually have gigantism in some form or another. Even the ones that don't tend to die incredibly young, because circulation is terrible in people of that height, even minor infections can go septic very quickly. Back problems are rampant, malnutrition is, arthritis is, they just don't hold up well.
In times where we have so much food readily available to us, and people of that size are still unable to get proper nutrition, the odds of it happening in a time where they relied on good harvests to be able to survive at all, let alone grow and thrive, or be able to select a diet based on nutritional needs are next to nothing. They just wouldn't have the required nutrients to get that big, and would likely die in their teens.

well, take this as a shitpost if you like, but on the creation of earth, the earth was inside a circle of floating ice that encircles the entire earth by that time, that would make the concentration of o2 much higher.
genesis 1: 6-9
additional info... the earth by that time was not tilted towards the sun, it was parallel thus existing no seasons, the ''ice'' layers block most of the sun ratiation by that time and the levels of o2 and quality of the products of the earth was so much that people might live till 900+ years...
then when god causes the flood (by presumably) casting an asteroid towards earth, destroying the ice barrier and tilting the eart (now we have seasons) and furthermore opening a crack on the vaults where most of the ocean where keep on, its no coincidence why after that huge change, he says that the men will no live longer than 120 years (genesis 6:3)

BUILD WALL
Seriously speaking, maybe they made these giant walls in acient times to protect the city from titans. I mean, you don't need a wall of 30 meters to defend your city from some 1,60 meters manlets.
>>17603966
don't forget the 7 foot land scorpions and 12 foot water scorpions that were around before dinos starting wandering about.
>>17593618
They weren't real.
If you look hard enough you'll find the workings that show they would be so heavy that their leg bones would shatter as soon as they started to run.
The bigger things get, the weaker they become in relative (to body weight) terms. These are natural limitations imposed by gravity chemistry and physics.

This is correct. The ladder wasn't invented until the 17th Century. Before then, thatchers were trained from birth to jump really really high so they could put the roofs on houses.

Atheist believe in science. And science believes that if it can be proven then it is fact. Religious ideology can't be proven thus is discarded into the trash been where it belongs.
As to why atheist are assholes and they shouldn't bully religious fantastically well I say they should bully them. Believing in tall tells from books that have been altered by many people is being willfully ignorant and should be mocked and criticized. Stupidity shouldn't be tolerated

Yes cause the bible and quran are such a great source for factual information.
Even though that anon is shilling like a faggot, dont act like there is a logical way for 36ft people to exist, the requirements for sustenance in the enviorments they were recorded in is practically impossible to achieve without them having left cities behind or archeological proof of farming or their living quarters.
Up to 15ft is the highest for my reasoning, considering how myths are commonly exagerations.
Now if you want to roleplay your giantess fetish you have a couple boards to do that but dont be a faggot here.
Look at every overly tall person and how their body functions. Protip: it barely does.
Giants with human proportions are impossible.
>>17614225
Thats more a result of genes.
Its obvious if someone who is on average 5-6ft in height births something that grows to 10-11ft that it will have poor health. If however people who have a stable height of 10-11ft the complications in their health would be less severe with each generation, use your head retard.

Idk. I had a friend that was 6'7 and his dad was slightly shorter like 6'5 or some shit like dad. Poor sod still needed a couple of surgeries into his back and had terrible health.

It isn't easy living as a giant in the land of small people. I'm 6'1" and my back gets rekt just working at a normal counter height, I could only imagine that if I had another 6" on me it would be that much worse. Besides, it's quite convenient that you only know one or two people that are pretty tall like that and one of them had health issues.

OP of supossed shitpost here:
> Where's the ice?
in form of water and they are the current oceans, pre-flood earth didn't have oceans and/or rain.
note that there's no more ice layer that encircles the earth because a friggin asteroid destroy it.
> God said that on the 6th day he created man well when did he create dinosaurs?
if dinosaurs count as ''animals'' then yes he created them, also, we are talking about the possibility of men were like 10+ feet or more so, they could be like the size of a horse in comparision.
also in job they mention other creations labeled as ''monsters''.
> Where's the crater from that event?
...
there are multiples craters around the world, the most famous its the yucatan's one.

Sessile marine beings would be crushed by the increased pressure of the deeper ocean; the salinity of the ocean water would fall, killing many organisms.

''science'' as contemporary science a.k.a muh neil degrasse tyson fans promulgate its kind of religion too, just add some math that solves 1 problem and they engulf themselves claiming they know everything about everything.

>>17617742
That still would not explain the problem of the sessile (fixed) organisms that would have been crushed by the increased pressure of the temporarily deeper ocean.
There is also this problem: animals out of Eurasia wouldn't be able to reach the Ark.
>>17617755
They would have clearly died under the pressure of the water.
After the warning of a flood, how long did Noah have to build the ark before God said that He would flood the world?
>>17617745
That image is bad; use this one instead.
>>17617759
like 120 years or so, still not every animal like literal have to do it, even tho if they did, after the gigantic climatic and atmosferical change, a huge number of them plain died or did barely enough for future descendence being smaller in order to adapt the ''new'' earth

Titans aren't the same as giants. Titans were immortal, so no one would have ever claimed to have found remains of one. Cyclops on the other hand could be killed and were thought of as giants. Elephant skulls were mistaken for cyclops skulls because there is what looks like a giant eye socket in the middle of the skull.
