For me I had always had a intense interest in stories and legends of Giants, particularly in the Bible. A interest that has never weakened. Years ago when I first took a interest in the Bigfoot subject I did so because of their relation to those legends and stories. Huge hairy people, 7-12 feet tall, covered in hair, living completely wild and in tune with nature. Giants, yes indeed. Problem is as I eventually found out, Bigfoot is apparently not the same thing as the Giants referred to in the bible and in native american culture, and native american cultures that I am familiar with(Who still survive anyway) have always held that the two things are very different, Bigfoot are Giants, but not all Giants are Bigfoot. In the context of the Bible, the Bigfoot are the closest thing we have today to Adam and Eve(I guess God figured they were so damned impressive he just had to keep these originals alive and doing good, and to my understanding they are actually very helpful and make good teachers to those who would listen to them as friends and neighbors, the bigfoot having different understandings and views on the nature of reality and the Earth than most people have, as one of my native friends put it "They do not view things as separate, but rather as whole, singular"), the original humans on this planet. After Adam and Eve fell I suppose it could be said, they were directly changed to something much more like us to sum it up poorly and loosely, the Bigfoot still live and do well considering having to live alongside modern man, though. They are completely in tune with nature...do not have to cook food, blend in with their surroundings, and do not need tools for anything whatsoever. They are born ready to survive in any environment from desert to arctic, whereas we are born handicapped, as out of tune with nature as imaginable.
What the "Giants" are, referred to as Anakim directly in the Bible if you prefer that source, however, would be more of a "Demi-god", a real life superman. Part "alien", part us(Us who are incidentally, part alien, part bigfoot in a over generalized way), better physically(And probably mentally too) in every way, and as it turned out, at our expense. Probably only looking like enormous super powerful versions of ourselves, rather than the heavy, wild, animalistic and hairy Sasquatch. Some native american stories tell of them being so huge and strong they could kill a large buffalo and throw it over their shoulder to carry off with only one arm, they tell of them often being a sinister cannibalistic peoples, the ultimate enemy of man, who were eventually wiped out after much conflict by environment and our numbers(And incidentally their own super-human arrogance).
I made this thread to discuss the topic, either of the relationship between the bigfoot and the apparently now extinct Giants, or either separately, let's get to talkin' people!
