Resurfaced 3,300-year-old Egyptian document hints at biblical giants being real

Resurfaced 3,300-year-old Egyptian document hints at biblical giants being real

Historians are scratching their heads at a resurfaced Egyptian scroll held by the British Museum that might support the claim that biblical giants were, in fact, real.

Genesis chapter 6 of the Bible is about God’s response to the widespread human “wickedness” and corruptness, which was supposedly caused by Nephilim, powerful beings that were the sons of “fallen angels” and human women.

It was these sons who were described as giant beings and referred to as “men of reknown” that caused widespread chaos which prompted God to cleanse the earth by “destroying all creatures under the sky” with “flood waters.”

The decades-old document has recently been resurfaced by the Associates for Biblical Research. British Museum

Fast forward to now, Anastasi I, a 3,300-year-old document that’s been in the British Museum since 1839 and has reignited the interest of the Associates for Biblical Research, a religious organization in Pennsylvania, has historians and researchers believing that these “men of reknown” giants may have actually been real.

The ancient document, that is believed to be from the 13th century, BCE, mentions run ins with the Shosu people, who were supposedly eight feet tall, which scared Israelites, as originally reported by the Daily Mail.

To connect the dots that Anastasi I is proof beyond what is said in the Bible that giants existed, Numbers 13:33, a verse from the Old Testament, also hints at Israelites coming across these large figures, “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

The scroll, which reseachers believe to be a letter written by a scribe says, “The narrow defile is infested with Shosu concealed beneath the bushes; some of them are of four cubits or of five cubits, from head to foot, fierce of face, their heart is not mild, and they hearken not to coaxing.”

“Four cubits or five cubits” tall, translates to a figure close to 8 feet tall.

With all that being said, historians remain skeptical as there is reportedly no physical proof or archaeological evidence that giants once existed.

On the flip side, claims of “supersized humans” from Central America roaming a remote town 90 miles northeast of Reno, Nevada are still baffling scientists all these years later.

While many believe these redheaded, pale-skinned giants to be legend, some reports of discoveries, lke when a pair of miners allegedly came across 60 human skeletons, some measuring between 7 and 8 feet tall, say otherwise.
