Did giants really walk the earth… or are we just misreading the bones they left behind?
In this Sleepy Time History episode, drift off as we explore the true story behind giant legends: from ancient fossils mistaken for “bones of titans” to biblical giants like the Nephilim and Goliath, and the real medical conditions—gigantism and acromegaly—that inspired tales of men as tall as trees.
We’ll unravel giant hoaxes like the Cardiff Giant, examine the Smithsonian “giant bones” conspiracy, look at megaliths and who might have built them, and travel through global folklore filled with friendly giants, man-eaters, and forgotten tall peoples from real history.
Perfect for bedtime listening, this calm, documentary-style deep dive blends archaeology, mythology, the Bible, science, and legend to answer a timeless question: why does every culture remember giants?

Note on Process & Accuracy:
Every story on this channel begins with a deep respect for history. We act as directors and editors, using AI tools to help research and draft the script while we shape the narrative and verify facts. The narration comes from a digital replica of a professional voice actor, and the images are individually crafted artistic impressions using AI. Even with these tools, creating a story of this depth still takes hours of work.
Please note that while the narrative is thoroughly based on historical research, its primary purpose is storytelling for entertainment and relaxation. As such, it is not intended to be used as a formal academic or scientific source. Thank you for your trust and support.
