Today I came across an interesting article that suggests ‘Myths’ about giants are in fact true. Watermark argues that almost every country and religion tells stories of humans ‘of huge size, displaying great powers of intellect and hurculean strength’. This is seen in stories such as ‘Gilgamesh’ the Babylonian King (who is pictured holding 2 lions by the leg), David and Goliath, and artifacts such as mummified heads of Inca Kings that indicate they were 9 to 10 feet tall. Watermark feels if so many diverse cultures talk of giants then there must be some truth to the myths. Watermark goes on to tell us that giant human foot prints have been found next to dinosaur prints, which would suggest giant humans could have been wiped out with the dinosaurs. I don’t now about the accuracy of these comments or whether I believe him but it has got me thinking about depicting my Giantess as coming from an almost alien superhuman race, possibly similar to the reptilian creatures in ‘Doctor Who’ which are said to have ruled the earth before being forced underground by today’s human race.
