The idea that giants once roamed North America may sound like the stuff of fantasy novels, but according to Genesis Apologetics, history, and perhaps even the Bible, suggests otherwise.
Their recent video, “The Nephilim: Was There a Giant Problem in America?”, pieces together a compelling case that giant beings, possibly linked to the biblical Nephilim, lived and were recorded by early explorers, Native American tribes and even archaeologists in the United States.

From the Hopewell Mounds to Lovelock Cave, reports of massive skeletons—some allegedly up to 10 feet tall—have surfaced for over 200 years. These discoveries, often buried under layers of historical suppression, raise an eyebrow. Why do so many early accounts from farmers, government officials and even the Smithsonian Institution describe enormous human remains, yet today, those remains seem to have vanished?
The Biblical Connection
For those who study Genesis 6:4, the mention of the Nephilim—giants born from the union of fallen angels and human women—has always sparked intrigue. The Bible describes these beings as “mighty men of old, men of renown,” suggesting they played a significant role in the ancient world. The video argues that after the flood, some version of these giants re-emerged and that Israel’s battles with the Anakim, Rephaim and other giant tribes in Canaan were not just poetic exaggerations.
If we take the biblical record seriously, it’s hard to dismiss the idea that giants were a part of human history. Joshua, David and their warriors fought against them. The legendary Goliath, slain by David, was described as over nine feet tall and wielding weapons of immense size. These same types of oversized weapons—massive stone axes, copper hammerheads and spearheads weighing more than modern soldiers could handle—have been unearthed across North America.
History Lost, or History Hidden?
A major question posed in the video is: why don’t we hear about this in history books? While early 20th-century newspapers and even Smithsonian records mention discoveries of massive skeletons, the artifacts have seemingly disappeared. Some believe scientific institutions actively suppressed these findings, either due to evolutionary biases or the implications they could have on the accepted history of human origins.
Native American traditions also tell of red-haired giants, man-eating creatures and warfare against towering beings—stories that strangely align with biblical accounts of violent, corrupted giants who defied God’s order. Could it be that these cultures were describing the same beings from Genesis 6?
The Days of Noah: A Future Revival?
One of the most thought-provoking aspects of this discussion is what Jesus said about the end times:
“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man,” (Luke 17:26).
Many believe this means a return of moral corruption, but could it also hint at a resurgence of the Nephilim?
