Giants

The traditions of peoples all over the world are quite unanimous in
asserting that an an earlier time a race of giants lived on the earth,
that most of the race were destroyed in great catastrophes; that they
were of cruel nature and were furiously fighting among themselves;
that the last of them were exterminated when after a cataclysm a
migration of peoples brought the forebears of the peoples of today to
their new homelands.

The Japanese narrate that when their forefathers after a great
catastrophe about two and a half or three thousand years ago, came
from the continent and invaded the isles, they found there
long-legged, furry giants. These giants were called Ainu. The
forefathers of the Japanese were defeated in the first encounter, but
in the second encounter they were victorious.

Ixtlilxochitl described the wandering of peoples of the western
hemisphere in the four ages of the world. The first age came to its
end in the Flood. In the second age, called "the sun of the
earthquake," there lived the generation of the giants, which was
destroyed in the cataclysm that terminated this age. The third peiord
was "the sun of the wind," called so because at the end of this period
terrible hurricanes annihilated everything. The new inhabitants of the
new world were Ulme and Xicalauca who came from the east to find a
foothold at Potouchan: here they met a number of giants, the last
survivors of the second catastrophe. The fourth age was called "the
fire sun," because of the great fire that put an end to this epoch. At
that time the Toltecs arrived in the land of Anahuac, put to flight by
the catastrophe: they wandered for 104 years before they settled in
their new home.

Also F. L. Gomara in his Conquista de Mexico, in the chapter about
"cinco soles que son edades," wrote:

The second sun perished when the sky fell upon the earth; the
collapse killed all the people and every living thing; and they say
that giants lived in those days, and that to them belong the bones
that our Spaniards have found while digging mines and tombs. From
their measure and proportion it seems that those men were twenty
hands tall--a very great stature, but quite certain.^[4](1)

The Hebrew scriptures as preserved in the Old Testament and in the
Talmud and Midrashim, narrate that among the races of the world in a
previous age were races of giants, "men of great size and tremendous
strength and ferocity," who were destroying other races, but also were
turning upon each other and destroying themselves.

The Book of Genesis (6: 4) narrates that in the antediluvial time
"there were giants in the earth in those days." The Greek Book of
Baruch narrates that over four hundred thousand of the race of giants
were destroyed by the Flood. After the Flood there were only a few
districts where some of them remained alive.

When after a number of centuries another catastrophe ruined the world
and the Israelites left Egypt and sent a few men to explore Palestine,
those reported that the people of the land were generally of tall
stature, and that besides "there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which came of the giants, and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so were we in their sight."

This description clearly differentiates between the people of a tall
stature and the giants, and the supposition that the Israelites found
in Palestine a normal race only taller than themselves, and thought
them to be giants, is not supported by the text.

A similar distinction is made in Deuteronomy (1: 28): "The people is
greater and taller than we . . . and moreover we have seen the sons of
the Anakim [giants] there." they--a few families--lived in Hebron
(Numbers 13: 22).

At the time when the Israelites approached the fields of Bashan in the
Transjordan, "only Og king of Bashan" remained of the remnant of the
giants (Joshua 13:12 and Deut. 3:11). The other individuals of
monstrous size had been annihilated in the meantime. "Behold, his
bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children
of Ammon? nine cubits is the length thereof, and four cubits the
breadth of it, after the cubit of a man." The text implies that at the
time the book of Deuteronomy was written the bedstead of Og was still
in existence and was a wonder for the onlookers.

The giants were the remnant of a race close to extinction. Og was "of
the remnant of the giants that dwelt in Ashtaroth and Edrel" (Joshua
12: 4). They were also called Emim, or the furious ones. "The Emim
dwelt therein [in Moab of the Transjordan] in times past, a people
great and many, and tall as the Anakim, which also were accounted
giants, as the Anakim; but Moab calls them Emim" ( ). This branch of
the giants was already extinct; but two cosmic ages earlier, in the
days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Abraham the Patriarch, Eimim
flourished in the Transjordan (Genesis 14: 5).
