Archeologists Discovered The Place
Where Goliath Lived, Yet Ancient
Goliaths Discovered In Israel Prove
The Bible

Archaeologists at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University
announced last week the discovery of a massive
gate and other fortifications in the ruins of Gath,
the hometown of the Bible’s Goliath. The ancient
gate is one of the largest ever discovered in
Israel and evidence of the Philistine city’s power
in the 10th and ninth centuries B.C.E. Gath even
made a brief appearance in the Bible when
David, Goliath’s slayer and future king of Israel,
“acted like a madman, making marks on the
doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his
beard.” While such a discovery adds much
credibility to the Bible, but what about
discovering Goliath? Are we awaiting to discover
a skeletal remains of a man so huge who will
baffle scientists? Fact is, they have discovered
several Goliaths in Israel and elsewhere that
match biblical description. And just as the Bible
described giants or what evolutionists call
“Neanderthals,” these Goliath bones were buried
side by side with humans as found on Mount
Carmel and other locations in Israel and
elsewhere in the world.
For example, Mugharet el-Zuttiyeh (“Cave of the
Robbers”), and Es Skhul (meaning kids), paleo-
anthropologists tell us, is a “prehistoric”
archaeological site in Upper Galilee, Israel which
also included both the alleged “moderns” and
the so-called “Neanderthals” of the region.
Es Skhul (meaning kids) (Arabic: ﺍﻟﺴﺨﻮﻝ ) is a cave
site situated c. 20 kilometers south of the city of
Haifa, Israel, and c. 3 kilometers from the
Mediterranean Sea. The prehistoric site, was first
excavated by Dorothy Garrod in the summer of
1928. The excavations revealed the first evidence
of the late Epipalaeolithic Natufian culture,
characterised by the presence of abundant
microliths, human burials and ground stone
tools. Skhul also represents one area where
Neanderthals. The cave also has Middle
Palaeolithic layers. The remains found at Es
Skhul, together with those found at the Wadi el-
Mughara Caves and Mugharet el-Zuttiyeh, were
classified in 1939 by Arthur Keith and Theodore
D. McCown as Palaeoanthropus palestinensis, a
descendent of Homo heidelbergensis.
In 1961, a Japanese team digging in a cave in
the Wadi Amud about 31 miles from Mt. Carmel
near the Sea of Galilee, discovered a shattered
Neandertal adult skeleton so high up in the
stratigraphy that it had Upper Paleolithic
artifacts and even pottery associated with
it. The youngest were radiocarbon dates of 5710
years. He was a robust man with a cranial
capacity (brain size) of 1740 ml in volume. A
huge skull by modern standards. Consider that
modern men and women are between 1200 and
1500 ml.
When it comes to the giant Goliath, he causes
lots of controversy, especially between
creationists and evolutionists, but the fact that
the Bible mentions them before paleo-
anthropologists discovered them makes a clear
case that the Bible was right.
It is when it comes to giants that exaggerations
are found everywhere. There are the conspiracy
theorists who post exaggerated photoshopped
images. Then we have the Nephilim mania
claiming that fallen angels married into humans.
The biblical “Nephilim” were giants, but not the
ridiculous images. Giants were huge in the
sense of their body mass and
capabilities. Goliath in the Bible was “six cubits
and a span” in height (First Samuel 17:4) – over
nine feet tall. Goliath wasn’t the tallest. The
tallest Neanderthal was discovered by the
anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge at
the Bronze Age cemetery of Castelnau-le-Lez ,
France. The height of this giant was estimated at
about 11 ft 6 dated to the Neolithic period.
Then we have the evolutionists, another
exaggeration who initially separated what they
termed “Neanderthals” from regular human
beings: Goliaths. These had thick heavy bones
with markings of powerful muscles and were at
least 30% larger than an average man and of
great muscular strength capable of enormous
exertion and endurance. They had low
foreheads, protruding brows, and large noses
with broad nostrils and were generally meat
eaters.
facial reconstruction of Neanderthal (Goliaths)
One of the things that convinced me about
Scriptures was that prior to my conversion from
Islam to Christianity, I regularly visited the
Rockefeller Museum were I was glued to watch
two fascinating skeletons displayed side by
side. One was of an ancient Canaanite woman
next to one of these magnificent robust huge
skeletons dug from Mount Carmel. The size of
this skeleton was quite amazing but was rarely if
ever discussed in major publications.
This skeleton can easily measure over seven feet
tall. Giants are not what is seen in fiction. When
it comes to the Bible and it’s ancient writers, a
mountain from their sense would be a hill in
modern western sense. Mount Moriah, Mount
Gerezim and Mount Ebal, for example, are simply
hills, yet they are called mountains in the Bible.
Rivers are the same. The Jordan River by
western standards is a creek. And so are the
giant Goliaths, I hate to call them Neanderthals,
they are simply seven to twelve feet tall human
beings, just as the Bible said and just as we dig
out from ancient burial sites.
