Did Giants Exist Years Ago?

[pontifex]

So like the ghost hunter shows, there is no proof giants were real. Just like the ghost hunter shows, they will never find anything substantial as proof.

How do I know? Because it would be all over the fucking news.

Also, why is it that when someone finds a bigfoot footprint, it's just 1 print? There's never 2 or never a trail.

Because Bigfoot is a cunning motherfucker.

From what I understood if you lived beyond infant hood and had access to enough food you would live a relatively long and healthy life. Average lifespans were lower because infant mortality was so high and because they might not have had access to enough food.

Well yeah. Unless you had a cut that got infected. Or were born diabetic. Or got bitten by a snake. Or one of a million other things that don't impact lifespan much now that were a death sentence then. The lifespan of a human has not really changed, eliminating external factors like accidents, diseases and illnesses a human born thousands of years ago had about the same top end that humans have now. It was just a hell of a lot harder reaching the max life span, even if you made it through childhood.

I have a family tree that goes back 500 years. The women lived to be 80-90. The men...not so much. I obviously don't know how they died but I assume all the waring.

A lot people act like people died of old age younger.

Ole grandpappy Ezekiel was the oldest in our family. He lived to 37 :^D

No idea, eh? I've got an idea how they died :^D

The nagging. They wanted it all to end by 35

The first human beings to live on earth were indeed huge. Those skeletons they dug out are real.

They're not fat, they're just just...

Just because it is on the "History" channel doesn't mean the programming has any basis in reality. One look at the shows on there would tell you that.

Ancient Aliens
UFO Hunters
Nostradamus Effect

A lot of their programming is fictional nonsense.

The History Channel should rename itself the History Comedy Channel because most of their shows are comical -- unintentionally, of course. I always get a good laugh from Ancient Aliens.

I bet you work for The History Channel.

 

[Pocatello]

The Giants did exist, ask Tom Brady and the Patriots.

 

[Ichinisan]

If everything else was bigger too, were they really "giants?"

They might be.

There was a Mike Rowe AMA on reddit yesterday. Someone asked Mike about his narrating a Ghost Hunter show. Mike basically responded, "there's a lot of money in the paranormal"

 

[Kaido]

Yeah, but then David took out the last one with a slingshot & eradicated the Giant threat :awe:

 

[Vdubchaos]

It saddens me how stupid people are.

Lay off TV folks

I don't think you are familiar with the actual evidence. Also, free iPad?

Not exactly human, but there are certainly giant ape bones:

That's just an estimated size, since all they've found is jaw bones.

 

[HeXen]

Evidence suggests a thicker atmosphere leads to larger creatures. But I don't think our atmosphere has been thick enough for the past few million years to yield giant humans. There seems to be a lot of fake pics along with stories of a cover up conspiracy regarding tall tales from some "dude" of finding giant bones and Smithsonian or govt whichever is making them disappear.....fuhell people it's the same stupid nonsense that comes with every weird cryptochid, alien body, moon landing and moth man.....a bunch of known fake pics with only a few "supposed" real ones with innuendo's and suggestions, a cover up of some mass scale...across the globe as well mind you...It's the exact same crap over and over and over and over and .....over.

I love how the conspiracies always involve cover ups led by scientists in order to preserve our current model of evolution. As if every scientists everywhere wouldn't want the fame and recognition as the person who discovered these things.

Maybe it just had a giant head.
