From Eliyahu
Even if only by the David and Goliath story, everyone knows there are giants
in the Bible. Goliath, for example, is reported to have been about 10 feet
in height (1 Samuel 17:4). My presentation tonight will talk about a race of
giants that dominated the region east of the Jordan River who were defeated
and driven out by the armies of Israel.
Some modern people dispute these Biblical claims of giants, thinking giants
to be mythical creatures and therefore not real. Here the question arises:
Have actual remains of giants, similar in height to Goliath, been reported
by credible sources outside of the Bible?
In fact, many such reports were published in America in the 1800s and early
1900s. Admittedly, as with any unusual topic of public interest, sensational
stories abound of people who have ‘seen’ everything from Bigfoot to giant
space aliens. Trust me, I wouldn’t insult the intelligence of my readers by
repeating that kind of nonsense here. What you will find below are copies of
news articles that have been verified against the original sources as free
of any later editing for dramatic effect. These are actual news reports from
legitimate news organizations, most of them from the New York Times.
I have bolded and italicized height sizes for your convenience.

MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE
Western Giants in their Slumber.—The Burlington (Iowa) State Gazette
says that while some workmen were engaged in excavating for the cellar of
Governor Grimes’s new building, on the corner of Maine and Valley streets,
they came upon an arched vault some ten feet square, which, on being opened,
was found to contain eight human skeletons of gigantic proportions. The
walls of the vault were about fourteen inches thick, well laid up with
cement or indestructible mortar. The vault is about six feet deep from the
base to the arch. The skeletons are in a good state of preservation, and we
venture to say are the largest human remains ever found, being a little
over eight feet long.--Calendar (Hartford).
THE NEW YORK TIMES,
NOVEMBER 21, 1856
SKELETON OF A GIANT FOUND.
A day or two since, some workmen engaged in subsoiling the grounds of
Sheriff WICKHAN, at his vineyard in East Wheeling, came across a human
skeleton. Although much decayed, there was little difficulty in identifying
it, by placing the bones, which could not have belonged to others than a
human body, in their original position. The impression made by the skeleton
in the earth, and the skeleton itself, were measured by the Sheriff and a
brother in the craft locale, both of whom were prepared to swear that it
was ten feet nine inches in length. Its jaws and teeth were
almost as large as those of a horse. The bones are to be seen at the
Sheriff’s office. – Wheeling Times.

NEW YORK TIMES,

REPORTED DISCOVERY OF A HUGE SKELETON.
From the Sank Rapids (Minn.) Sentinel, Dec. 18.
Day before yesterday, while the quarrymen employed by the Sank Rapids Water
Power Company were engaged in quarrying rock for the dam which is being
erected across the Mississippi, at this place, found imbedded in the solid
granite rock the remains of a human being of gigantic status. About seven
feet below the surface of the ground, and about three feet and a half
beneath the upper stratum of rock, the remains were found imbedded in sand,
which evidently had been placed in the quadrangular grave which had been dug
out of the rock to receive the last remains of this antediluvian giant. The
grave was twelve feet in length, four feet wide, and about three feet in
depth, and is to-day at least two feet below the present level of the river.
The remains are completely petrified, and are of gigantic dimensions. The
head is massive, measuring thirty-one and one-half inches in circumference,
but low in the asfrontis, and very flat on top. The Femur measures
twenty-six and a quarter inches, and the Fibula twenty-five and a half,
while the body is equally long in proportion. From the crown of the head to
the sole of the foot, the length is ten feet nine and a half inches.
The giant must have weighed at least 900 pounds when covered with a
reasonable amount of flesh. The petrified remains, and there is nothing left
but the naked bones, now weigh 304¼ pounds. The thumb and fingers of the
left hand, and the left foot from the ankle to the toes are gone; but all
the other parts are perfect. Over the sepulchre of the unknown dead was
placed a large, flat limestone rock that remained perfectly separated from
the surrounding granite rock.

MONSTER
SKULLS AND BONES
CARTERSVILLE, Ga., April 4.—The water has receded from the Tumlin Mound
Field, and has left uncovered acres of skulls and bones. Some of these are
gigantic. If the whole frame is in proportion to two thigh bones that were
found, the owners must have stood 14 feet high. Many curious
ornaments of shell, brass, and stone have been found. Some of the bodies
were buried in small vaults built of stones. The whole makes a mine of
archeological wealth. A representative of the Smithsonian Institution is
here investigating the curious relics.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, FEBRUARY 9, 1890
A RACE OF INDIAN GIANTS.
MAY’S LANDING, N. J., Feb. 8.—For over a week past crowds have been flocking
to the site of the unearthed Indian graveyard near Edgewater-avenue in
Pleasantville. The first lot of skeletons unearthed was about one thousand
yards from the city Post Office and embraced eight bodies, closely laid
together in a deep chamber, snugly packed in with tortoise, oyster, and clam
shells. One of this number had bead and shells decorations, which together,
with its extreme height, points to the fact that it must have been the
powerful old chief Kineawaugha, whose descendants still own farms along the
shore.
Prof. C. H. Farrel of Baltimore, Charles K. Simpson of New-York, John H.
Cooley, Jr., of New-Haven, Conn., and several gentlemen from the University
of Pennsylvania immediately went to the scene. Messrs. Risley and Farr, the
owners of the land, gave to the Archaeological Association of the University
of Pennsylvania the right to search for relics on their land. These
researchers have been watched by thousands of people with great interest.
Besides weapons of war savage ornamental war decorations and numerous
valuable shells, stones &c., over fifty skeletons have been exhumed.
Dr. Charles R. Abbot, curator of the association, is continuing the search,
and the skeletons are to be shipped to the university at once. They run in
size from a small child to several of seven feet in height, and one,
supposed to be an old medicine man, Wauneck, must have been at least
eight feet in height. About fifty students were on the ground this
morning and continued their search until stopped by rain.
The citizens gaze in silent wonder on these relics of a race that at one
time ruled the land. For seven miles along the shore can be seen large
mounds of clam and oyster shells left here by Indians who used to congregate
by hundreds to open oysters for Winter food, and it is near these shell
mounds that the great number of skeletons have been taken up. In some
instances weapons of war made of stone and flint have been found lying close
beside some exceedingly large skeletons. The relics will be put on
exhibition at the museum of the university in Philadelphia.

WISCONSIN MOUND OPENED
Skeleton Found of a Man
Over Nine Feet High with an Enormous Skull.
MAPLE CREEK, Wis., Dec. 19.—One of the three recently discovered mounds in
this town has been opened. In it was found the skeleton of a man of
gigantic size. The bones measured from head to foot over nine feet
and were in a fair state of preservation. The skull was as large as a half
bushel measure. Some finely tempered rods of copper and other relics were
lying near the bones.
The mound from which these relics were taken is ten feet height and thirty
feet long, and varies from six to eight feet in width.
The two mounds of lesser size will be excavated soon.

FIND SKELETON OF A GIANT
Interesting Relic of Ancient Mound Builders Discovered in Ohio
A giant skeleton of a man has been unearthed at the Woolverton farm, a short
distance from Tippecanoe City, Ohio. It measures eight feet from the
top of the head to the ankles, the feet being missing. The skull is
large enough to fit as a helmet over the average man’s head. This skeleton
was one of seven, buried in a circle, the feet of all being towards the
center. Rude implements were near. The skeletons are thought to be those of
mound builders.

GIANTS' SKELETONS FOUND.
Cave in Mexico Gives Up the Bones of an
Ancient Race.
Special to the New York Times.
BOSTON, May 3.--Charles C. Clapp, who
has recently returned from Mexico, where he has been in charge of Thomas W.
Lawson's mining interests, has called the attention of Prof. Agassiz to a
remarkable discovery made by him.
He found in Mexico a cave containing
200 skeletons of men each above eight feet in height. The cave was evidently
the burial place of a race of giants who antedated the Aztecs. Mr. Clapp
arranged the bones of one of these skeletons and found the total length to
be 8 feet 11 inches. The femur reached up to his thigh and the
molars were big enough to crack a cocoanut. The head measured eighteen
inches from front to back.
PORTLAND, OREGON SUNDAY OREGONIAN,
MARCH 13, 1910
PREHISTORIC MAN’S BONES ARE FOUND
Skeleton 10 Feet Long Discovered in Southern Idaho Cave
BOISE, Idaho, March 12.—(Special)—Unmoved, unseen and untouched for hundreds
of years and hidden in the recesses of a deep cave 25 miles north of
Shoshone, Lincoln County in Southern Idaho, is the skeletons of a
giant, ten feet tall evidently of prehistoric origin. It was
recently discovered by a hunting party from this city.
As corroborated proof the members are now exhibiting the rusty and worn
flint lock barrel of what appears to be an ancient gun weighing between 25
and 30 pounds, resembling a flit-lock rifle. This they say was picked up
beside the skeleton.
These bones will be taken out of the cave at the earliest possible date and
carefully packed and forwarded to the Smithsonian Institution. It is
believed by those who have seen the skeleton there will be an invasion of
the caves in that section of Idaho by students seeking knowledge of the
earlier inhabitants of America.

REPORTS FIND OF BONES OF MEN 8 FEET TALL
Mining Engineer Tells of Discovery in
Sonora by Laborers Digging in Cemetery.
TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 1 (AP).—Discovery
of apparent remains of a race of giants has been made at Sayopa, Sonora, a
mining town 300 miles south of the Mexican border.
J. E. Coker, a mining engineer, reports
that laborers clearing ranch land near the Yaqui River dug into an old
cemetery where bodies of men, averaging eight feet in height,
were found buried tier on tier.
The heads of the skeletons, Coker said,
were especially large. Carved native stone bracelets were found on the
bones. Beside the bodies, the crudest kind of stone weapons and implements
were buried.

Of course, the best proof that giants existed is the inspired Word of God
itself. Tonight we will be learning details about the giants that Israel
encountered east of the Jordan, defended themselves against in battle, and
subsequently totally defeated and drove out. This had to happen, because the
giants were the source of some horrible and shocking behavior, some of
which, amazingly, survives today. This program will clue you in on one
particularly heinous practice with the potential of effecting all of us.
Plenty of warning is given in advance in the program for the content that
may be disturbing to children, so be aware when that warning is given. We
are sharing this so you can take steps to deal with something that may
effect you, that you may not know about. Please join us
