http://oddx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Nephilim.jpg (http://oddx.com/2012/10/nephilim/nephilim-2/)Nephilim were the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men” according to Genesis 6:4; and also gigantic men who inhabited Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. There is contention as to the exact meaning and etymology of the word itself. It probably derives from the Semitic root npl (נָפַל), which means “to fall” but also includes “to cause to fall” and “to kill, to ruin”. According to Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, a standard reference for Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, the meaning is “giants”. Adam Clarke, an 18thcentury theologian and Bible scholar, took the passive meaning of “fallen” or “apostates”. And Ronald Hendel argued that it is the passive form “ones who have fallen”.The contention over the meaning remains, but there is one consistency. The term Nephilim occurs only twice in the Hebrew Bible. The first occurrence appears in the book of Genesis 6:1-4, falling directly before the story of Noah’s ark. It reads as follows:

The stone is inscribed on all sides with a condensed version of the Ten Commandments or Decalogue, in a peculiar form of post-Exilic square Hebrew letters. The robed and bearded figure on the front is identified as Moses in letters fanning over his head.
The inscription is carved into a fine-grained black stone that only appears to be brown in the accompanying overexposed color photographs. It has been identified by geologists Ken Bork and Dave Hawkins of Denison University as limestone; a fossil crinoid stem is visible on the surface, and the stone reacts strongly to HCl. It is definitely not black alabaster or gypsum as previously reported here. According to James L. Murphy of Ohio State University, "Large white crinoid stems are common in the Upper Mercer and Boggs limestone units in Muskingum Co. and elsewhere, and these limestones are often very dark gray to black in color. You could find such rock at the Forks of the Muskingum at Zanesville, though the Upper Mercer limestones do not outcrop much further up the Licking." We therefore need not look any farther than the next county over to find a potential source for the stone, contrary to the previous assertion here that such limestone is not common in Ohio. [Paragraph updated 8/7/00, per personal communication from Murphy.]
The inscribed stone was found inside a sandstone box, smooth on the outside, and hollowed out within to exactly hold the stone.

The Decalogue inscription begins at the non-alphabetic symbol at the top of the front, runs down the left side of the front, around every available space on the back and sides, and then back up the right side of the front to end where it begins, as though it were to be read repetitively

If you actually look it up,
Photoshop. And fake.

The National Geographic Society has not discovered ancient giant humans, despite rampant reports and pictures.
The hoax began with a doctored photo and later found a receptive online audience—thanks perhaps to the image's unintended religious connotations.
A digitally altered photograph created in 2002 shows a reclining giant surrounded by a wooden platform—with a shovel-wielding archaeologist thrown in for scale.
​By 2004 the "discovery" was being blogged and emailed all over the world—"Giant Skeleton Unearthed!"—and it's been enjoying a revival in 2007.The photo fakery might be obvious to most people. But the tall tale refuses to lie down even five years later, if a continuing flow of emails to National Geographic News are any indication. (The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)
The messages come from around the globe—Portugal, India, El Salvador, Malaysia, Africa, the Dominican Republic, Greece, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya. But they all ask the same question: Is it true?
Perpetuating the Myth
Helping to fuel the story's recent resurgence are a smattering of media outlets that have reported the find as fact.
An often cited March 2007 article in India'sHindu Voice monthly, for example, claimed that a National Geographic Society team, in collaboration with the Indian Army, had dug up a giant human skeleton in India (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/places/countries/country_india.html).
"Recent exploration activity in the northern region of India uncovered a skeletal remains of a human of phenomenal size," the report read.
The story went on to say the discovery was made by a "National Geographic Team (India Division) with support from the Indian Army since the area comes under jurisdiction of the Army."

Suppose it is Greece and not India?

cadet. Now you've taken all of the fun out of the "WHAT IF" crowd, or anyone who is convinced those photo's are real.

There's another photo floating around that shows a large group of people standing behind the body of a GIANT crocodile on a beach.
Of course. Nobody wants to admit that photo was also Photoshopped....but depth perception, having those people stand SO FAR behind the actual animal...does make it look Larger than it actually is.
Conspiracy Junkies love that kind of stuff.

You can't trust those Africans. They do nothing but use photoshop. Forget how primitive it is there.

Found on a study site of crocodiles. The following cut and pasted.

Giant Niles
The last lap of the “skullology tour” had to be Africa. Everyone has seen the spectacular footage of wildebeests and gazelles being snapped up like rats by huge Nile crocs but just how big are they? Local intelligence was that the largest Nile crocs were at Lake Chamo, a Rift Valley lake in southern Ethiopia. We used some fancy military issue, range-finding binoculars to get very accurate distances between us (and camera) and the crocs. Then, combined with an ordinary digital camera and a bit of Photoshop magic we got some accurate remote measurements of Nile crocs, some over 18 feet long—saltie size. This is how it’s done: do the range-finding and picture simultaneously, put the picture onto Photoshop where the pixel length of the croc is easily converted to millimeters, multiply the pixel length by the recorded distance of camera-to-croc in millimeters (ie how big it actually was on the camera sensor) and then divide by the focal length of the lens. This gives you a reasonably accurate length of the critter.

We discovered a dusty little cubbyhole at the Arba Minch Crocodile Ranch near Chamo where skulls of crocs drowned in Nile perch nets were given their final rest. It was a bonanza of giant skulls and our excitement grew as we measured a dozen of the biggest. All we could think was “bloody hell, these are the biggest Nile croc skulls on record”. Our enthusiasm was obviously infectious, the Farm Manager, Assegid Gebre, got all the skulls cleaned up and the next time we visited he had them carefully mounted in glass cases. These are truly invaluable specimens, one measuring over 68 cm, the size of the Corrorboree Tavern saltie skull, the biggest we found in Australia. This Lake Chamo skull is the largest on record for C. niloticus!
