A simple google search will give you millions of answers and most of them believe the Nephilim's were some giant people.
It is possible that the Nephilim's were giants but also they could have been normal human size. The bible does state that they were giants according to the report of the spies. Growing up there was a time we moved from the city to the rural areas. That alone meant we became closer in the rural area because there was no distraction such as TV games and TV in general.
The only stories I remember were the stories told by the elders were ghost related or cannibals that lived in the land. South Africa in Zulu is called iNingizimu Africa. One day I woke up and hated this name because it made me feel like I was a cannibal. I just did not know why we still called it Ningizimu for real. How many people in South Africa eat humans? If they exist, they are very few and would not do that in public for sure.
So how can a land full of cannibals and ghosts becomes a land of giants (that is if you believe the Bible location is South Africa like me). Well, that was the process of scrambling the bible and making it look like these events took place in some foreign land. Fortunately or unfortunately some events are unique to African belief and other races have not been linked to such beliefs.
Numbers 13: 32- 33 reads So they brought a bad report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, "The land through which we have gone to spy out is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are of great stature. We also saw the Nephilim there (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight and so we were in their sight.
I have already mentioned the stories from elders of cannibals and ghosts and verse 32 kind of gives hint that the land of the Nephilim devoured its people. Only humans and animals eat, and the land not so much. We can see that the verse just used land instead of people. The people of that land were eating people living there. And that is exactly how South Africa is called in Zulu - Ningizimu (Ningi meaning many, Zimu meaning cannibals)
Now lets see how Ningizimu can become Nephilim
Luckily no R was thrown in unnecessarily.
So first Change the First I to E like so
Nengizimu
Remove the U at the end and get
Nengizim
Now change Z to L and get
Nengilim
Now change G to P and get
Nenpilim
Now change second N to H and get
Nehpilim
Now swap H and P and get
Nephilim
Yep.
Nephilim is from Ningizim meaning the land was full of cannibals
I suspect the ten spies demotivating the whole nation were Zulus, they carried this history of cannibals for years and even named the land Ningizimu.
