Genesis 6:4

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which
were of old, men of renown.

Dunno. Are you sure those pictures are real? I know, I'm a
skeptic. While I'd like to believe they're real because they
fit my ideas about things, I still wonder if someone photo
shopped things to take advantage of people like me who would
like to believe them.

I don't know... I certainly didn't take the pictures nor was I
there... I haven't seen the bones myself in person... So they
very well could be fake... They appear pretty convincing to me
though especially the one under water...

I remember seeing these photos awhile back. According to
hoaxslayer, "the cleverly created image of the giant skeleton is
actually an entry in an image manipulation contest by artist
"IronKite" in which participants were instructed to create "a
picture of an archaeological discovery that looks so real, had
it not appeared at Worth1000, people might have done a double
take"....."Even if you do believe that a race of giants once
walked the Earth, you can rest assured that these photographs do
not depict some of their remains. In their original context as
part of a Worth1000 contest, the status of the images as purely
fictional "archaeological discoveries" is quite clear.
Apparently, however, some unknown prankster stole IronKite's
image from its original setting, added some seemingly relevant
text, and sent it on its way. Perhaps due largely to the talent
of its creator, the image has circulated ever since. In due
course, others have apparently added more Worth1000 images to
the hoax messages."

I did some digging. . . .

I had two reasons to doubt it. The skeletons are too big to
match up with the descriptions in the Bible, and someone that
tall would have serious physical problems -- curvature of the
spine and so on.

Yes they did. I guess that's why Ironkite won the contest or at
least I'm assuming that was the winning entry. It doesn't say
that in the information. It just says it was an entry in the
contest. But it should have been the winning entry. ;D

Yes I would think there would be deformities to the skeletons.
Some really good artwork and graphics can be done in photoshop
if one knows how to do it. I'm still trying to learn how to do
this. :-\
