‘Were Giants Ever Real?’ (2020)

Furahan Biology and Allied Matters: The anatomy of giants in 'Game of Thrones': did they get it right?

Are we talking “Only in the movies”?

I’m sitting here indoors, wearing shades, because I’ve just come home from the eye doctor’s and my pupils are uncomfortably dilated. But at least that’s now out of the way.

Were Giants Ever Real?

So… Did giants ever exist? I mean real  giants. Not some guy who’s five-feet-ten and has a loud voice. It’s very hard to find a culture with no traditions or folklore about giants. You could say it;s a thing that it’d be only natural to imagine, and then point out that we have no giants’ tombs or weapons or underwear.

I won’t say there were no giants. I won’t even say they were only metaphorical giants.

When I was a boy, Gigantopithecus  was pitched to us as an enormous prehistoric human. Since then he’s been demoted and is now just an enormous ape… almost too big to believe in, but there he is.

Maybe our ancestors never expected Big G to be demoted.

‘Chronicles of the Nephilim’

You may remember the problems I had last year, reviewing books by “Abner Doubleday.” Well, these are the books–Chronicles of the Nephilim, by Brian Godawa–and here’s my review, as published in Chalcedon’s magazine.

Given how much I wound up disliking these books, I’d say my review was rather charitable.

And now it’s off to the eye doctor!

“This is not fake!” an organization called “Conspiratruth” assures us. Well, you coulda fooled me.

That “giants in the earth” verse in the Bible (Genesis 6:4) has inspired an awful lot of twaddle. The Hebrew word doesn’t mean “genuine 15-foot tall giants who require special exemption to the laws of gravity so that their otherwise human skeletons don’t collapse,” but never mind. You don’t have to call them “nephilim.” You can call them “Annunaki.” They’re from Orion. There is not really any such place as Orion, but never mind.

The folks in this footage, otherwise occupied by some kind of military parade, seem to take the giant in their stride.

How many people, educated at great cost to the public and to their families, believe in conspiracy theories? In Annunaki from Orion? In “You can keep your doctor”?

*Sigh*…
