he would have been about 3 meters or 9ft tall. and to all u calling the bible a book of fairy tales. many others called philistine the land of giants. even skeletons with heights of up to 3.2 metres have been found in Syro-Palestine. and a shard of pottery from gath has been found with Goliath's name on it saying he was a great champion of the army. but not in Hebrew mind u but Proto-Canaanite so he was a real champion of the philistine army

Given that the Bible is filled with parables and other forms of story-telling and interpretation, he was probably not an actual giant. It is more likely that he was a "giant" compared to his peers. Notice that, throughout history, people in general have gotten taller. People were probably, on average, significantly shorter in those days than people are today. This would also mean that a "cubit" represented a shorter distance back then than it does today.
I would guess, based on this information, that Goliath was probably between 7 and 8 feet tall.

He grew to become into between the huge names who did no longer p.c. a call, perchance via fact of his length and power. a million. 1975-1985 2. His length made him regularly occurring. He additionally had many fulfillment in and out of the hoop. 3. i do no longer think of so. look at what handed off with huge prepare, he grew to become into shown crying whilst he by twist of destiny hit AJ. the comparable difficulty (via that I propose he could prepare weaknesses and giants presently are no longer feared like Andre in his days) could ensue with Andre if he have been to debut in WWE interior the present. 4. If he grew to become into as sturdy as in the previous and if prepare wasn't around, then probable confident. 5. approximately 4-5. 6. i will in trouble-free terms think of of Undertaker as I wasn't in a position to witness wrestling from the 90s. 7. confident and no. Andre's length is sturdy for obvious motives and undesirable via fact it makes him sluggish. Taker's length isn't a topic via fact even nonetheless he's basically about a 7 footer, he continues to be speedy and would additionally be a severe flyer. 8. probable to offer Andre the respect of being champ back in the previous retiring yet i do no longer think of he mandatory it that factor provided that he grew to become into already a huge celebrity. Are my solutions sturdy adequate? Lol
