sal megalithic buildings, cities, towns, roads, and walls (enclosures), They may have had other forms of advanced technology, though all that remains of their technology is very large stone artifacts, some primitive tools, and skeletal and funerary remains. It seems that the earliest megalithic remnants appear to be the most sophisticated, with the largest and best dressed megaliths at or near the bottom of ancient construction, with newer materials, both smaller and less sophisticated are built over and on top of the larger stones.
Over time those disasters left surviving 'groups' in isolation from each other in specific 'pockets' around the world. Based on Haplogroup X markers, O neg blood type, and linguistic roots, the related areas and groups are; The North Berbers of the Atlas range, Canary Islanders, the Basque, the Druze of Lebanon, the Celts, the Sumerians, as well as other groups in Kashmir, Western China, the Gobi, North America, South America, and areas of the Pacific rim.
In the impoverished environment which followed the last Super Catastrophe 7,000 years ago, degeneration was accelerated. However, for some time there persisted a significant, though decreasing proportion of hominids who retained enormous stature. It is a possibility that remnants of those giants still exist today as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Alma, etc.
There seems to be several different form characteristics, with three distinguishing features. The first is that some earlier ancestor giants were not only of giant stature, but also long lived, with lifespans several times that of modern humans. Others descendants of the original Nephilim, 'devolved' or degenerated to what seems to be a larger form of marginal Neanderthals. And last there appears to be significantly different body sizes and types. One feature is that 'some' specific (but not all) giants had 6 fingers and 6 toes, and a double row of teeth. This distinctive trait is seen all over the world. Another trait is that 'some' (but not all) giants were 'red skinned or red men', and some had red or russet hair.
The most significant characteristic is the difference in size range. Using the historical record, the size range of the early current Epoch giants and predecessors were 9' to 16' in height. That is for the giants that we have specific records of.
(OG the king of Bashan) was a little over 12' tall. About 400 years later, the general size had been reduced to between 9' and 10.5” (Goliath and his brothers), which suggests a significant 'survivable' population) The average size of the giants up through the post Colombian era seems to be about 7.5' to 10' tall. This group includes the Patagonian Giants and other North and South American giants.
The above information is taken from historical records. There are thousands of additional records of various giants found in all kinds of circumstances, with various degrees of evidene including skeletal remains, oversized tools and reliable first hand reports over the last 2,500 years. It is not the intention of this paper to add information that is widely available elsewhere on the internet. The purpose of this paper is to look at the historical records, and determine if the credible testimony contained in that record will substantiate the existence of giants in our current Epoch. (From 7,000 years ago to present) That such giants lived in and near the City of Bashan and Mt Hermon; and were hunted to near extinction by Moses and Joshua are historically recorded facts. The city of Bashan stands in mute testimony to their presence.
The evidence for Giants in our Epoch, indicates they are descendents from a race of Giants that co-existed with Modern Humans, Cro Magnon, Neanderthals and other hominid species prior to the Last Great Cataclysm of 7,000 years ago. They, like other giant flora and fauna declined in stature, and then finally going nearly extinct as a species sometime in the last 1,500 years, with a very few remote and isolated pockets, like the Patagonia Giants surviving into a post Columbian period.
As a final note, I would include the dis
