Some traditions hold that King Og of Bashan was not just a powerful ruler, but truly one of the last living giants, belonging to an ancient race known as the Rephaim. His kingdom in Bashan was famous for its sixty fortified cities, with massive stone walls and gates so large that later generations believed only giants could have built or inhabited them. The Bible records Og’s iron bed as being over thirteen feet long, a detail that has fueled centuries of speculation about whether the giants of old were more than myth. Even today, the land of Bashan is covered with mysterious megalithic ruins and dolmens built with stones so heavy that their construction seems almost beyond the ability of ordinary humans in that age. These remnants, alongside the ancient stories, keep alive the possibility that tales of giants were not merely legends, but memories of a time when beings of unusual size walked the earth.
