Ep 5. The Mystery of the Giants

In the fifth episode of the third season of Forbidden History, titled "The Mystery of the Giants," the show explores the possibility of giant beings existing in a forgotten part of history. The series host Jamie Theakston investigates the myths and legends of giants and whether they could actually be based on real events.

Through interviews with experts and visits to key locations around the world, Theakston unravels the various stories surrounding the existence of giants. One of the first segments of the episode focuses on the ancient Egyptian civilization and the legend of the "giant" pharaoh, Ramses II. The show aims to explore whether Ramses II was a real person and if he was indeed a giant.

Then, the investigation moves to Malta, where there are ancient megalithic temples believed to have been created by giants. In this part of the episode, the show looks into who these giants might have been and what their purpose was in creating these structures.

The show also delves into the history of The Bible and the existence of giants in the book. Theakston consults with religious scholars and experts, attempting to decipher whether the stories of David and Goliath depicted real events where giants existed or whether it was just a mythological tale.

In addition to that, the Forbidden History team also looks into the legend of King Arthur. They try to uncover whether the existence of Arthur's giant sword, Excalibur, is true and whether such giants were believed to have existed in the medieval era.

Furthermore, the episode also examines a fascinating and controversial topic regarding the discovery of "giant skeletons" by archaeologists in the 19th century. The team opens up a discussion on whether these discoveries support the theory that giants played a critical role in the world’s history.

Finally, the show concludes with an in-depth discussion about the possibility of whether giants could still exist in the world today. Theakston interviews various experts, including a cryptozoologist and an anthropologist, to get a sense of whether it's possible or not.

Overall, the show does an excellent job of presenting these topics. It gives the audience your typical dose of conspiracy theories and uncovers intriguing facts that will get you hooked. The team provides compelling evidence and enthusiasm to make it feel plausible. Whether the theory of giants is true or not, the way in which the show presents it is quite fascinating.
