AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RECORD OF GIANTS
An ancient Egyptian document known as the Papyrus Anastasi I has reentered public discussion after being highlighted by Daily Mail and CBN. What it contains should make skeptics stop and take notice. This New Kingdom era papyrus describes the Shoshu people, a group described as powerful, terrifying, and unusually large. These were not gods or metaphors. This was an Egyptian administrative text describing real groups encountered in the land east of Egypt.
Long before modern debates, the Bible had already told us this world once contained giants. Genesis 6:4 states plainly that “there were giants in the earth in those days.” Scripture does not present this as legend or symbolism. It presents it as history. Papyrus Anastasi I now stands as an external witness that such beings were known, feared, and recorded outside the biblical record.
The Shoshu described in the papyrus were said to be extraordinarily tall, with some interpretations placing them near eight feet in height. The document emphasizes the fear they inspired. That detail matters. The Bible repeatedly describes fear as the defining reaction when ordinary men encountered giants. In Numbers 13, the Israelite spies reported that they felt like grasshoppers by comparison. This aligns perfectly with what the Egyptians recorded centuries ago.
This convergence is devastating to the claim that giants were a Hebrew myth. Egyptian scribes had no interest in validating Scripture. Yet they preserved the same reality. Powerful oversized people lived in the same regions Scripture identifies as the lands of the Rephaim and Anakim. The Bible and Egyptian history are not borrowing from each other. They are independently reporting the same world.
Scripture does not leave giants in the distant past of Genesis alone. It names them. One of the clearest examples is Og, king of Bashan. Deuteronomy 3:11 records that Og’s bed was made of iron and measured about thirteen feet long. Beds are built to fit bodies. This was not ceremonial furniture. It was functional. God preserved that detail to anchor the account in physical reality.
Og ruled in the very regions associated with the Shoshu and the Rephaim. He was not a mythological holdover. He was a living giant defeated by Israel through the power of God. We can't leave out the most famous name.. Goliath, who was slain by David.
Genesis 6 establishes the origin of giants. Deuteronomy records their continued presence after the Flood. Papyrus Anastasi I confirms that surrounding nations knew them, feared them, and documented them.
Modern voices often insist that the Bible exaggerates or mythologizes the past. Yet time and again, ancient records surface and quietly affirm what Scripture has always said. Giants were real. They were feared. They left impressions so strong that even Egypt wrote them down.
Genesis 6 was not poetry. Og and Goliath were not a metaphor. The Shoshu were not imaginary. The Bible does not bend to archaeology. Archaeology eventually bends to the Bible. Every rediscovered document like Papyrus Anastasi I is another reminder that God’s Word stands firm while human skepticism keeps retreating.
