A mutant gene is thought to have been responsible for cases of human gigantism through the ages.Identified as the "gigantism gene" it was responsible for the enormous size of the 18th century "Irish Giant" who stood eight feet tall, it is believed that those inflicted inherited the gene from the same common ancestor up to 66 generations ago. A race of giants may have sprung from a mutant gene that first emerged around 1,500 years ago and causes uncontrolled body growth, scientists believe.

The "gigantism gene" was identified in the DNA of an 18th century man known as the "Irish Giant" who stood almost eight feet tall.

Finding Said to Boost Proof of Goliath

Archaeologists digging at the purported biblical home of Goliath have unearthed a shard of pottery bearing an inscription of the Philistine's name, a find they claimed lends historical credence to the Bible's tale of David's battle with the giant.While the discovery is not definitive evidence of Goliath's existence, it does support the Bible's depiction of life at the time the battlewas supposed to have occurred, said Dr. Aren Maeir, a professor at Bar-Ilan University and director of...

Nearly all the nations of the earth have their f...

While waiting out the effects of what an ancient nucleur war created on the surface, man went back to a more natural or should I say 'simplistic' culture.  By the time they once again surfaced to&nb...

Enoch, Nephilim, Sons of God, Daughters of Men

"The craving of demons for a body, evident in the Gospels, offers at least some parallel to this hunger for sexual experience." -Derek Kidner In 1947 an Arab boy tending his sheep accidentally discovered an ancient cave near the Dead Sea. In it were found a priceless collection of ancient scrolls which soon became known as the Dead Sea Scrolls or the Qumran Texts. Among these writings was one known as the Genes...

Giants, Myth or Reality?

By Patrick Cooke In the human experience, giants are literally the "elephants in the room". When our research first began on this paradigm, we had little knowledge of how extensive the evidence of their existence was. We now have a comprehensive database consisting of over 200 historical descriptions; over half from the United States and the U.K. history, alone. And, our unpublished files contain enough information to more than triple the current data we now have onlin...

Giants: Fact or Fiction?

The autobiography of the Tibetan lama Chagdud Tulku (Lord of the Dance, California: Padma Press, 1992, pp. 110–111) contains a fascinating reference to a Tibetan mountain giant and how a seeker of mystical relics was able to come across its remains.While on their way to the monastery of Chudo Gompa in the mountains to witness dancing and ceremonial pageantry, the lama and his retinue came across a stupa marking the site where the legendary hero Gesar had entombed a slain giante...

They Might Be Giants, Or Dwarfs

Their lives could have been the plot of a monster movie. Three-foot-tall humans recently discovered to have lived on an Indonesian island had to dodge giant lizards and rats the size of dogs. They were so tiny it appears they couldn't even overcome adult dwarf elephants, forced instead to hunt the animals' young. But their adult size -- comparable to a modern 4-year-old -- had an upside, too, apparently allowing them to survive in isolation for tens of thousands of years. The ex...
