In the latest episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable, we delve into the intriguing lore of giants that has captivated imaginations from the biblical texts of Goliath to Cyclopean mythology. What exactly defines a 'giant'? Is it merely a personification of nature's forces or a literal description of ancient beings?

Exploring historical perspectives, we learn that ancient Egyptians averaged just 4 feet tall—a height that today would be considered dwarfism. This stark contrast brings new insights into how we perceive stature, especially when we consider that a modern-day average height of 5 feet 9 inches in the US would make someone a relative giant compared to those from ancient times. Remarkably, individuals like Robert Wadlow, who stood nearly 9 feet tall due to a growth hormone condition, challenge our understanding of what defines a 'giant'. And let's not forget the towering presence of recent college basketball players like Olivier Rioux, who stands at an astonishing 7 feet 9 inches!

Throughout history, ancient depictions of giants alongside disproportionately sized animals or humans may symbolize significant figures or events. Additionally, similar representations exist in South American rock carvings that feature humans alongside immense creatures, demonstrating the complex relationship between size and status. Our discussion even extends to the realm of nature, with massive flora and fauna, including towering redwood trees and mysterious ocean depths, reminding us that giants come in many forms.

Join us as we unpack the layers of mythology, history, and nature surrounding the concept of giants in our world.

Tune in now to explore this fascinating episode that questions perceptions of size and stature!
