Yeah its wild how people think that glyph depictions of legends on a wall (and people looking at that and going “Ah yeah, this is depicting a scene from their legends we have text versions of too”), somehow think we’re arguing giants were real.

To that I just will say that it’s likely “giants” legends were just born through the simple fact way back in the day, people were a lot less homogenous and that people’s height had a lot more variation, due to how secular living was (instead of taking a plane to the other side of the world in a single sitting, you would take multiple days just to go 1 village over)

As a result you had a lot less genetic “sameishness”, so you likely had some areas where people were a lot shorter, and then other areas where people were taller. In particular colder climates had shorter people, and hotter taller.

Due to people’s nomadic natures, it’s pretty likely most legends of both “wee folk” and “giants” were just tall as fuck people from country A meeting up with short as fuck people from country B.

We literally, right now, have humans who you can put em side by side and person A is over twice the height of person B.

So yeah, it’s not hard to imagine if you had a whole family of tall ass people meet up with a family of short ass people, you’ll get through word of mouth (and a bit of story telling), you’ll get legends of “giant” folk.

In particular the folk of europe, especially vikings who travelled quite far and wide, had some pretty fuckin huge populations in terms of height.

And inversely we also had a fair number of fairly short and stout folk from other countries in the middle east.

If one were to meet the other, I mean, it’s not hard to see where the legends would get spun from, lol
