There are numerous myths from around the world which speak about "giants", which usually refers to humans which were remarkably large in stature. In the Old Testament from the Bible there are numerous references to giants, as well as before as after the great Deluge, and they are also mentioned in the Dead Sea scrolls. It is quite possible that they were the Titans from Greek mythology.
For 10,000 years or more, early modern man known as "Cro-Magnon man" did co-exist together with the the much shorter Neanderthals in Europe which averaged from 5.3 to 5.5 feet. The earliest Cro-Magnon men were in comparison quite large in stature, averaging from 6.1 to 6.7 feet (male), which is somewhat taller than the average height of current modern man, but the giants that were mentioned in the Bible were much taller.
Like
mentioned in the previous chapter, these giants from Biblical
texts including Genesis, were the offspring of "the sons of God"
and the "daughters of man". It makes sense that these "sons of God"
could possibly have been these quite large and possibly
extraterrestrial Cro-Magnon men. Could this also mean that the
daughters of man" were the shorter Neanderthal man, and could it
possibly be that their offspring was even much larger? The giant known
as "Goliath the Philistine", from the story of David and Goliath (1
Samuel, chapter 17), had been described as "six cubits and one
span" in height, which is approximately 10 feet and 6 inches.
There are other references to humans of gigantic height to be found in the Bible, like in the book Numbers, 13:33:
"32. And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size." 33. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
The book Deuteronomy 3:11 mentions the king Og of Basan as the last of the Rephaim and his bed, or coffin, was described as nine cubits long and four cubits wide, or thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide.
According to numerous reports from the past past centuries, there
had been found gigantic human bones at various places in the world.
Although these findings are being kept in museums, they are rarely or
not being put on display for a certain reason; Perhaps because of the fact that they simply
cannot explain these remarkable artefacts.
In the year 1911 there had been found the remains of red-haired giants with heights between 6.5 and 8 feet, in the cave that is now known as Lovelock Cave, near Lovelock in Nevada. In the year 1931 there had been found two giant skeletons within the lake bed of Humbold lake, where the first one had a stature of 8 feet tall and the second one had a stature of below 10 feet.

A news report from September 3th, 2011, mentioned that human remains of gigantic size were found in Georgia. The involved scientists are telling that the height of these human giants could range from 8.2 feet to 9.8 feet (2.5 to 3 metres). From the article at Trend.Az:
"Georgia,
Tbilisi, Sept. 3 / Trend N. Kirtskhalia /
The bones of
giant people aged over 25,000 years were found in the mountains of
the Borjomi Gorge (South Georgia). This is a sensational discovery,
academician of the Georgian Science Academy Abesalom Vekua told
media."
Prof. Dr. Abesalom Vekua, a leading scientific researcher
of the Georgian National Museum, further explained:
"Pay
attention to the lumbar bone,
it differs from the bones of modern man in size and thickness. The
skull is also much larger. These people have lived and evolved in
isolation from the rest of civilization, they are so different in
features and growth. In the literature they were referred to as giants,
but evidence supporting this hypothesis does not exist. Thus, we are on
the threshold of a sensation. But a confirmation will have to be
preceded by hard work."
