The story of David and Goliath is one of the most iconic scenes in the Bible. Armed with nothing but a sling, the young shepherd boy takes down the fearsome Philistine giant.
Although it’s a beloved and popular tale, there’s one unusual problem with it: and that’s Goliath’s height: no one can quite agree on his size. In this video, let’s explore the height of the biblical giant Goliath. Delving into everything from ancient forms of measurement, growth conditions like gigantism, and even a few biblical typos for good measure. As we ask the question: How tall was Goliath?
I had lots of fun making this one, and put many hours into the animation. I hope you enjoy. I'm off for a nap! Oh, and thank you all for 387k subscribers.
