An international team of archaeologists, including researchers from the University of Exeter and the Ethiopian Cultural Heritage Research and Conservation Authority discovered a long-forgotten city in eastern Ethiopia’s Harlaa region, known as the ancient ‘City of Giants,’ which was built in the 10th century BC.
Ancient folkloric stories of a gigantic cities built and inhabited by giants. It is a widely beliefs that there were giants who lived and walked on Earth. Numerous megalithic structures and other unusual objects from different periods of time in the history indicates the possibility of the existence of giants.
Biblical giants in the ancient history
Biblical stories and other extra-biblical literatures told us that giant-mens and other nonhuman entities walked on Earth long time ago. The Book of Genesis records the origin of this fearsome creatures, as it written:
“When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.” — Genesis 6:1-4 ESV
The Nephilim are mysterious beings or people in the Hebrew Bible who are large and strong; the word Nephilim is loosely translated as giants in some translations of the Hebrew Bible but left untranslated in others. Jewish explanations interpret them as offsprings of fallen angels.
Pagan stories of giants
Aside from the biblical information about the evidence of giants, pagan nations has their own mythological stories about ancient giants of the past civilizations.
According to Mesoamerican mythology, the Quinametzin were a race of giants tasked with erecting the mythological metropolis of Teotihuacán, which was built by the gods of the sun.
A variation on this theme can be found all over the world: huge cities, monuments, and massive structures that were impossible for normal people to construct at the time they were built, thanks to advances in science.

Latest discovery shows the enormous buildings constructed of massive blocks encircled the site of Harlaa. This indicates the widely belief of people that ancient giants lives in this particular place of what they called ‘City of Giants’.
Local residents have uncovered coins from various countries. They also found ancient ceramics over the course of the year. Another interesting thing in this discovery was the enormous building stones that could not be moved by ordinary people without the aid of modern machines and high-tech materials.
Local residents of the Harlaa region has a widely belief that all these things could only have been erected by nonhuman entities or giants, and it cannot be made by any ordinary human.
Researchers also found that this ‘City of Giants’ was a well-known commercial centre for the region only serves to demonstrate how important it was. Archeologist Timothy Insoll, a professor at the University of Exeter, said the discovery had a profound impact on archeology’s understanding of trade in the long-abandoned region of Ethiopia.
