An ancient Egyptian papyrus held by the British Museum has been cited as possible evidence supporting some of the Bible's most controversial claims about giants. An Egyptian cubit measured roughly 20 inches, meaning the Shosu would have towered over most people of the era. The papyrus takes the form of a letter written during a time of war, detailing hostile terrain and military challenges. Advocates of the giant theory argue that the Anastasi I papyrus provides evidence outside the Bible that such people may have existed. They note there is no archaeological evidence of giants, such as skeletal remains or oversized dwellings.
