Extraordinarily tall male skeletons have been unearthed by archaeologists throughout Eastern China, especially in the Jiaojia village where excavations of houses, graves, and sacrificial pits have been discovered and exposed a collection of 200 5,000-year-old graves. It was also noted that the remains found were strongly resembling the Biblical Nephilim who are believed to have played an important role in the Final Battle on Mount Zion at the End of Days.

This discovery leads the experts to believe that the male skeletal remains found in the village averaged a height of six feet and three inches, which would be considerably tall compared to today's standards where the average Chinese man stands at five feet and six inches tall.

Considering the rapid growth of human height since this era, the people who inhabited Jiaojia 5,000 years ago would have been absolutely gigantic by comparison.

This discovery in China is consistent with the giants found in the Bible who were remarkably tall and yet, despite their towering height, were still able to procreate with normal human women.

The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown. Genesis 6:4

According to Bible History Daily, "Genesis 6:1-4 tells the readers that the Nephilim, which means 'fallen ones' when translated into English, were the product of copulation between the divine beings and human women." Divine beings, in this case, refer to the fallen angels that rebelled with Lucifer. "It was once claimed that the mating of the sons of God and the daughters of Adam that resulted in the Nephilim, caused the flood, and this caused the Nephilim to have a negative reputation. This was believed because the next verse (Genesis 6:5) is the introduction to the flood narrative and because their name means 'fallen ones.'"

And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. Numbers 13:33

The text suggests that the Nephilim survived the flood and continued to reside on earth, particularly in Israel, where the Biblical text is set.
