Giant Skeletons found

Apparently, it is said museums are taking these skeletons and hiding them, maybe because it proves the Bible to be more true.

Doubtful. If they existed these skeletons would be showcased as finding the missing link.

photoshopped?

Guaranteed.

Look up a guy named LA Marzulli he has 20 years into this stuff

This is pure hogwash.

Is this report from the same folks who claim vinegar and baking soda cures cancer?

Could this be the giants described in the Bible? I have always been skeptical at first about these skeletons thinking that it was a hoax a few years ago, but this seems real.

If it is posted on youtube then it must be true

I was dubious the first time I heard about this, but now I've received the same information from an independent source (i.e. you!), I realise it must be true.

Not true? Bbbbbut it's on youtube.

It hardly seems credible.

Very interesting! I personally cannot offer any other conclusion.

I clicked on this thinking you were talking about my closet!

Yep. These images circulating on the internet, well most of them anyway, originate from a photoshopping contest from the 2000's. The pictures were taken from that website, and unscrupulous individuals began sharing them, and thus an online hoax was born.

Here's a blog article from the relevant website about this.
Giant Skeletons Seem Too Real To Be A Hoax

Here's another relevant article, unfortunately since it's 11 years old the link to the original NatGeo article no longer seems to work.

So, no, no giant skeletons have ever been found, because there have never been giants. The giants of the Bible are not giants, they are regular human beings who happened to be unusually tall, such as Goliath who was remarkably tall compared to everyone else. Goliath wasn't supernaturally tall, standing at about 6'10 makes him not even as tall as a number of modern NBA players.

And, yes, I know that the Masoretic Text has Goliath taller, but the older texts (the LXX and DSS) give him a far more reasonable height, and so the much later Masoretic Text almost certainly contains an embellishment.

There's a very simple reason why there were no giants--it is physically impossible. I don't just mean biologically impossible, I mean it would defy the very laws of physics.

Just because some photos are frauds, doesn't make them all so. There are photos and accounts of giant bones dating back 100 years or more. I don't believe all have been proven to be fraudulent, and such a belief is consistent with the historical accounts of giants mentioned in the bible (e.g. Genesis 6) and elsewhere.

This is what some also said about manned flight.
