One Giant Step for Mankind w. Brad Olsen (7/1/24)

From Goliath in the Bible to Cyclopean mythology, the existence of ‘giants’ has been questioned from an unknown time. What might be a mere personification of nature and her forces in the form of mythological 'giant' beings, could otherwise be a ‘giant’ when simply compared to a smaller stature of people in ancient times. Ancient Egyptians were, on average, 4ft tall, a height today we would call dwarfism. An average 5ft 9 US man today would be equivalent to a giant in comparison, and there were people in those days who stood above six foot. In the 20th century Robert Wadlow was nearly 9 foot tall, the result of a growth hormone condition. Recent college basketball freshman Olivier Rioux has been in the news for his height, too, standing at 7ft 9. Ancient depictions of giants alongside proportional animals or humans are said to represent important people, though in other cases there are equally proportionate humans and large creatures like centipedes alongside smaller ‘normal’ sized creatures. Such images have been found in South American rock carvings. We must not forget massive flora and fauna, including redwood trees, are equally GIANT, as are the many mysterious things in our oceans.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: [email protected]: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: [email protected] / [email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
