A. Present day modern man which averages about 6-feet tall + or - several inches or more.
B. 15-foot human skeleton found in southeast Turkey in late 1950's in the Euphrates valley during road construction. Many tombs containing giants were uncovered here. This pertains to the picture of the giant human femur and myself above.
C. Maximinus Thrax Ceaser of Rome 235-238 A.D. This was an 8' 6" skeleton.
D. Goliath was about 9 feet + or - a few inches. I Samuel 17:4 late 11th century.
E. King Og spoken of in Deuteronomy 3:11 whose iron bedstead was approximately 14-feet by 6-feet wide. King Og was at least 12-feet tall, yet some claim up to 18.
F. A 19'6" human skeleton found in 1577 A.D. under an overturned oak tree in the Canton of Lucerne.
G. 23-foot tall skeleton found in 1456 A.D. beside a river in Valence, France.
H. A 25' 6 " skeleton found in 1613 A.D. near the castle of Chaumont in France. This was claimed to be a nearly complete find.
I.Almost beyond comprehension or believability was the find of the two separate 36-foot human remains uncovered by Carthaginians somewhere between 200-600 B.C.

It's fake.

The first picture was sent in for a photoshop contest, and someone then sent it out as a chain mail letter, I'll try and find info on it in a bit.

It'd be cool if it was real, but it's fake.

many factors speak against the fact that giants existed. the anatomy for example:
Our back wouldn't be able to support such a weight without thickening,
just look at the evolution of the small swamp animal to a steppe Horse, the whole bone structure changed, even the bone order.
