| David defeating Goliath |
The Bible has been referenced earlier regarding Bigfoot. Bigfoot every bit Cain, Bigfoot every bit Nephilim, too Bigfoot every bit the Giant David defeated. We direct keep mixed feelings nearly this, later all BLC has a marrow belief that zilch is off the tabular array for discussion. It is the elementary reference that nosotros tire of, this ancient text has an oversized bi-ped, it must hold upwardly Bigfoot doesn't give us much also chew on.
The article below past times the Epoch times satisfies our appetite for multiple references and earthworks deeper into the bible for to a greater extent than obscure descriptions of creatures unfamiliar to the everyday life. Another summation to the Epoch article is the incorporating of Homo Florensis (the hobbit). Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Professor at Idaho State University, has claimed that the regain the hobbit has given respite to many academics who previously would non entertain the stance of multiple hominids leaving parallel to each other, including a modern Relict Hominoid (Sasquatch).
The article below digs deeper than most, too is definitely worth the read.
The Theory of ‘Three Human Species’
By Leonardo Vintini

The Old Testament tells a storey inwards which a diminutive David defeats the giant Goliath. Using exactly a sling to slay his enormous foe, this unlikely victor became the minute Hebrew monarch.
While many consider the tale to hold upwardly only a colorful allegory, a recent finding exhibiting the oldest known Philistine inscriptions suggests that Goliath may direct keep genuinely existed. This artifact—a small-scale clay shard—was constitute inwards State of Israel inwards 2005 past times Tell es-Safi University archeologists.
It is inscribed with the words “Alwt too Wlt” which, according to Professor Aaron Demsky, coincide with the shout out Goliath. Studies confirm that the carving was made around 950 B.C., which would position it inside lxx years of when biblical scholars believe this historic struggle occurred.
While the regain may lend some novel credibility to an ancient tale, it may also serve every bit a slice to some other puzzle that’s fifty-fifty to a greater extent than intriguing. One mightiness assume that, fifty-fifty if the epic battle genuinely did accept place, Goliath’s size was sure exaggerated for dramatic effect.
However, bear witness collected from around the globe over the concluding century suggests that the beingness of a existent giant may non direct keep been that foreign later all. In fact, these finds direct keep led some to believe that the mankind of antiquity may direct keep come upwardly inwards 3 distinct sizes: giants, humans, too hobbits.
In the autumn of 2004, a grouping of investigators working inwards Republic of Indonesia constitute remains of a race of “hobbit” men mensuration exactly over 3 feet. Researchers determined that these smaller humans had existed amongst human being until nearly 13,000 years ago.
The query team—including Indonesian paleoanthropologist Professor T. Jacob—dubbed the small-scale race Homo floresiensis, named later the Indonesian isle of Flores where the skeletons were uncovered. Some state these hobbits withal roam the jungle, prompting many visitors to the isle inwards recent years inwards search of a myth incarnate.
The wealth of bear witness for a race of giants is fifty-fifty greater. Remains of giant humans direct keep been constitute inwards practically every business office of the globe: Tunisia; Pennsylvania; Glen Rose, Texas; Gargayan inwards the Philippines; Syria; Morocco; Australia; too throughout the Urbasa mount make inwards Spain. Perhaps the most pop too scientifically recognized instance is the “Giant of Java,” constitute exactly southward of China.
Similar human remains that were constitute inwards nearby southern Communist People's Republic of China break large humans who possessed vi digits on each extremity. This polydactyl feature seems to direct keep been a regular designing inwards this race of men, every bit other examples direct keep shown. In Soviet Georgia, skeletons were constitute of men betwixt ix too 10 feet tall that also possessed vi digits on the hands too feet.
Among several biblical passages that cite the beingness of giants, Samuel 21:20 also observes this extra-digit phenomenon: “In withal some other battle, which took house at Gath, at that spot was a huge human being with vi fingers on each manus too vi toes on each foot—twenty-four inwards all.”
Despite the vast amount of skeletal evidence—as good every bit the unearthed tools too teeth that would otherwise examine comically large past times normal human standards—it seems that at that spot are withal non a peachy release of scientists dedicated to studying this phenomenon.
The modern public frequently regards cite of these different-sized human races inwards ancient texts too folklore every bit the production of a bright imagination—though many different cultures tape real similar accounts. However, inwards low-cal of the diverse remains uncovered throughout the world, maybe these “mythical” stories may direct keep genuinely been accurate depictions of life at that time.
If these races of diverse size did exist, why 3 sizes too where did the other ii go? Did they direct keep amicable or hostile social relations with our ancestry? Did they help each other? Ignore each other? What social structures did they have? For straight off nosotros tin entirely await to the stories of the distant past times too wonder how many to a greater extent than myths are waiting to break themselves with concrete evidence
