Good point Johnny, and thanks for posting the URL Chris! Dragging out the old 'gigantism' and tunnel vision crap again. It is obvious that some would rather subscribe to such intellectual dishonesty than the archaeological evidence. The Philistines, who were feared and accomplished soldiers would not even remotely consider sending a half blinded 'Robert Wadlow' into battle as their chosen champion! Gimme a break....I have seen much evidence of the remains of true giants and their remains are to scale without any trace of the effects of 'gigantism'. Some of the skulls found were large enough to have enabled their owner to bite the head off of a normal adult human! And look at the cranial capacity! BTW, not a single example has been found of 'cradle boarding' (A barbaric procedure that involves cradling the heads of infants to boards to get their skulls to grow deformed and enlongated) where increased cranial capacity was achieved any where even remotely close to what is shown. It is my assertion that 'cradle boarding' by ancient cultures arose as an act of emulation by normal humans to appear as their one time 'gods', the giants of old did.
Here is but one of dozens of examples to be found of the remains of the 'Giants of old':
It is interesting to note that so many of these skulls were found buried absent their bodies.......I wonder how many were removed by their own swords like David of Judah!
Some of the skulls found belonged to bodies which would make them 16 feet tall! (that is unless one subscribes to the 'Giganticus Bobbleheadicus' theory) That is the height of the bottom power line on most street poles! Yes, we certainly would appear 'as grasshoppers' to them! As a hobby, I have studied cryptozoology for some time and it has provided many amazing discoveries, indeed. Some of you may remember the old native american legend of the 'thunderbirds', giant black birds that appeared before thunderstorms riding the leading edge of the storm front and grabbing children and even buffalo calves! I have seen footage on the Discovery channel taken by a man canoeing down a river in illinois of two of these giants taking off from a tree....that tree was later tracked down and the branch they were perched on was quite large. Here is link to a pic taken some time back in a Los Angeles Museum:
