description: There were giants in the earth in those days... So runs the famous, or infamous, verse in the sixth chapter of Genesis. The eminent scholars who translated the Authorized Version had no hesitation in setting down this tantalizing statement, for was it not in the Book of Truth itself? But were there really 'mighty men' inhabiting the ancient lands of the Bible? And if there were, where did they come from, and, more importantly, why did they disappear?These are just some of the fascinating questions that this book sets out to answer. It follows a long and exciting road back into prehistory in tracking the echoes of a primal race of giants through myths as well as archaeological evidence to their source in the first ages of the world, and it finally uncovers the secret wisdom to which the giants laid claim and through which they achieved their primeval supremacy.
