Giants in Scripture and Mesoamerican Culture

This chapter explores the scriptural references to giants, particularly their implications in the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon concerning the Jaredites' journey. The discussion includes the Nephite perspective on these beings and speculates on their historical connections, particularly with ancient Near Eastern cultures. Additionally, it examines how Mesoamerican artifacts, like the Olmec colossal heads, may have influenced the myths and narratives surrounding giants in these texts.
