Did big men of about 10 feet tall really exist?

Question

If so, why were there 10-feet tall men?

Answer 1

Giants were taller than that. If you look at Sumerian seals of the annunaki the indigenous Sumerians depicted Enlil and Enki like 10 feet taller than them and their sons' Giants' 10 feet taller than the gods. To the gods we look like toddlers to the giants we look like ants. Moses even spoke about the existence of Giants.

Answer 2

There is some evidents to support that claim.

Answer 3

History is riddled with giants but I don't think they were necessarily "Giants"

I think what's going on is that through the centuries, the average height of humans has increased... But there were still bands of people who were just taller.

If you were, say, 5'2" and you came across somebody who was 6'8", you might think he was a giant... Especially if you have never seen anybody that tall before. Then when you told somebody about it later, the mental image would eventually make him 10 feet tall...

Just mid nineteenth century, the average height of a U.S. soldier was something like 5'7" while today the average is around 5'9". I know 2 inches doesn't seem like a big deal but we're talking averaging of troops, where height is not a requirement... And this was only 100 years ago.
