On Facebook, a certain Jason abadi1 posted, “Over 40 giant nephilim skeletons found in Nevada cave” which, for some odd reason, included the following hashtags, “#anunnaki #nephilim #giant #nibiru #conspiracytok #fyp #shots #tiktok #viral #comedy #prank #harryporter #superhero.”
I, True Freethinker, noted
What makes you think they were “giant nephilim” skeletons (FYI: biblically contextually, “giant nephilim” means “nephilim nephilim”).
Julie Hoselton commented
pictures of the skulls when you could find them had the double row of teeth and the massive size common to the giants.

Friend, I’m unsure how you can reply that way to the question, “What makes you think they were ‘giant nephilim’ skeletons” since you failed to answer the question.
Matthew J Carson chimed in with
nephilim means “fallen ones” from the Hebrew root word, “nephal”. “Ghibor,” which means “mighty man of renown” is the Hebrew word used to describe giants.
“Anakim” (sons of Anak) is another Hebrew word for giants. Nephilim are any progeny between the watchers and mortal creatures. Those produced by human women were said to be hundreds of feet tall.
However, Scripture says that they began to sin against all of creation. That means that not all nephilim were born of human women. You can be quite certain that Zeus did not appear as a bull to seduce Europa, but [******] a cow; and Greeks couldn’t have that in their mythology. Nords on the other hand…

Please mind your manners.
Thanks friend, I literally wrote the book on the linguistics, Bible Encyclopedias and Dictionaries on Angels, Demons, Nephilim, and Giants: From 1851 to 2010
To say, “Ghibor[im]…is the Hebrew word used to describe giants” is myopic since it’s a generic term and used to described Nephilim and Angels and some of David’s soldiers and Giddon and Boaz and God, etc.
But as for, “to describe giants” and the unsupportable assertion, “‘Anakim’ (sons of Anak) is another Hebrew word for giants” the key questions are:
What’s the usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants” in English Bibles?
What’s your usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants”?
Do those two usages agree?
As for, “said to be hundreds of feet tall” said by whom where and when?
It’s a non sequitur to conclude that “not all nephilim were born of human women” based on “Scripture says that they began to sin against all of creation” and, besides, it doesn’t say that.
That brought the discussion to an end as no more replies were forthcoming.
