I highly, highly doubt there is any crane, truck, or machine that can move this stone. This requires super-human strength or super-human technology that we simply do not have:

And the ONLY answer is in the Bible, the "nephilim" giants, when the fallen angels bred with women. Also, the book of Enoch

Even with this caveat we have yet to find any remains of 12 foot tall giants.

Your absolutely correct.

I was just citing King Og for an example.

The Great Pyramids date back to around 2600 BCE.

Were the nephilim around in 2630 to help build the oldest pyramid the Step Pyramid?

That's some 1300 years after the flood.

Well the Bible says the nephilim existed "also after" the flood.

This guy explains everything were talking about very well. Hes very, very knowledgeable about giants, nephilim, aliens, demons, angels, the ancient world, etc, much more knowledgeable than i am:

How about quit taking what some guy on the internet says, and research it yourself?

The only "giants" that the scripture actually says were Goliath and King Og.

I would like for you to show me where more are quoted.

Here we learn that King David and his men encountered several giants, other than Goliath, during his life before and after being made King over Israel. One of them was named Ishbibenob, whom David killed with the help Abishai (2Samuel 21:16). Another was Saph, who was killed by Sibbecai during a battle between the Israelites and Philistines at Gob (verse 18). A third man of huge stature, who apparently liked to fight, was killed by Jonathan, a son of one of David's brothers, at a battle in Gath (verse 20). All told, the Bible records at least three groups or races of people who produced giants after the flood. They were the Anakim (children of Anak), the people of Bashan, and the Philistines (Rephaim).

But, no height is given.

Remember King David stood relatively short in comparison. My sister stands about 4'-8", I stand about 6'-1". Next to her, I am a "giant".

God Bless

That's funny.

Do you know what a "hyperbole" is?

Do you really believe that in comparison, the Israelites were the size of a grasshopper?

"and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers;
little diminutive creatures in comparison of them; an hyperbolical exaggeration of the greatness of the giants, and of their own littleness:

and so we were in their sight;
but this they could not be so certain of, and could only make conjectures by their neglect or supercilious treatment of them. Jarchi makes them to speak of them more diminutively still, as that they heard those giants saying one to another,
``there are ants in the vineyards like men.''

Source

Until you or the science community can produce, with any tricks, a skeleton of a 40 foot giant like the op says, or a 450 foot "giant" like Enoch says, this is purely conjecture and argumentative.

They were clever builders in those days. They knew how to move things. They knew how to lift things. They had the manpower.

We have "manpower" today. And incredible technology- just look at CERN. Still doesnt even compare to what was going on in ancient days.

Correct. They had less than us but more in their ability to construct these massive structures. They were experts at their craft.

Are you going to stick to that story?

Have you ever seen the Coral Castle in Florida?



This picture is of a 9 ton piece of coral, set so perfectly and balanced so perfect that with one finger it can be opened and closed. This was built between 1930 and 1951.

How did he do it alone, singlehandedly?

"Psychic powers"?

"The coral walls fit together with amazing accuracy even though they were constructed without cement...A small statured man barely weighing one hundred pounds, Ed quarried one piece of coral from the earth weighing over twenty-eight tons and then erected it himself! His accomplishments include a rocking chair weighing thousands of pounds that can be rocked with a finger, and an underground structure reached by climbing down a one-piece spiral stone staircase to a subterranean refrigerator. A five thousand pound heart-shaped coral rock table with a red blooming ixora growing from its center, is believed to be the world’s largest valentine according to Ripley’s. Much of the site is calibrated to celestial alignments including an ingenious thirty ton telescope towering twenty-five feet above the complex, perfectly aligned to the North Star. A working sundial calibrated to noon of the Winter and Summer Solstice, is so accurate it tells time within two minutes. An area known as the “moon pond” comprised of three 18-ton pieces of coral represents the first quarter, last quarter, and the full moon. Nearby stand Mars, which Ed believed sustained life, and a ringed Saturn each the size of an automobile. An obelisk taller then the great monolith at Stonehenge stretches forty feet toward the sky weighing fifty-seven thousand pounds! In total Ed quarried over eleven hundred tons of coral rock for his Castle using tools fashioned from wrecking-yard junk, never revealing just how he managed to rise and position the massive coral blocks that make up his compound.

Ed disputed contempory science and believed, “all matter consists of magnets which can produce measurable phenomena, and electricity.” Ed would say he had “re-discovered the laws of weight, measurement, and leverage,” and that these concepts “involved the relationship of the Earth to celestial alignments.”
Researchers have speculated that Ed learned the secret of levitation and one theory in particular caught the imagination of many. The planetary grid hypothesis postulates that the earth is covered by an invisible web of energy which is concentrated at points of telluric power, the convergence of which create unusal phenomena.

These telluric grid dynamics played a vital role in the construction of the Castle according to author Ray Stoner in his book, “The Enigma of Coral Castle.”

So, was it physic power, electro magnetism, or levitation?

Pretty remarkable considering.

Kinda knocks: "what was going on in ancient days." butt.

God Bless

DeaconDean, why are you arguing over what the Bible says so much? Do you not believe that the Bible is actually true? It sure doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you are trying to disprove the Bible in all honesty

No, I'm arguing that there were 40 foot or even 450 foot tall men as Enoch says.

I have admitted that there were some "giants" as in the case of King Og, who may have been somewhere between 12-15 foot tall.

And in fact, compared to the Israelites who were on average 4-9 to 5-5, any body of that size would have been a "giant".

Another prime example id Goliath. He stood almost twice as tall as King David.

But 40 foot tall?!?

There is no evidence. Period.

And then to suggest that the government told the Smithsonian to destroy any evidence, ths a "conspiracy theory"?

There is the fact that even today, occasionally men and women grow to abnormal heights. Would you say they were the descendants of the Antidilivans? Or the nephilim?

Because that is what is being said here!

Ya'll pull stuff out like the pictures you supplied, and there is nothing wrong with it.

I supply a picture of something that was done some 5000 years after the fact and I'm accused of not believing the Bible?

Who's using a double standard here?

There are a lot of things that have not been proven true or untrue.

Long before man invaded America, there were stories of the "Bigfoot".

In spite of the fact that thousands of pictures and thousands of feet of film has been shown, the "bigfoot/yeti" has not been proven nor disproven.

We find bone of the dinosaurs, but not of these "giants" or nephilim.

Yes, the scripture says there were "giants" but in the sense that Enoch gives.

And in spite of all that, you cannot take what Enoch says, run with it, and teach it as fact when in fact, Enoch is a non-canonical book and has been since before the New Testament era.

And I don't see anybody here sporting an "Ethiopian Church" icon for their denomination.

God Bless

Another fact is, when people should have their head in the bible, they're out chasing these fanciful stories.

Archeology can help us to understand where we came from. But, its not now nor will it ever be an exact science.

Science can teach us thing to reinforce the bible. If it wasn't for science, we all would still be under Rome's control and geocentricism would be the rule.

There are some questions that science will never be able to answer.

What is the boundary of space?

What is love?

How exactly does a thought form?

With the amount of water on the surface of the earth, what is to keep it from covering the land?

If God knew we would turn out as we did, why didn't He just simply wipe us out and create another human race that do as He said?

And the grandest question of all. What does the nephilim have to do with the salvation God provided in the person of His Son Jesus Christ?

God Bless

So many people try to make things out of nothing.

Like I said before, there is absolutely no 'real' evidence of gigantic people. None! Only via Photoshop.

People in ancient times were extremely skilled with working stone.

People take a few words from scripture and twist it so much to blend it in with what they believe!

I highly, highly doubt there is any crane, truck, or machine that can move this stone.

1. Google the weight of the stone

2. Google the lifting capacity of modern cranes

3. Realize the Romans didn't lift these stones, but slid them to where they were needed. The stone has even been carved on an angle so that it will nicely drop onto a set of rollers.
