I believe there were real giants in the beginning until David killed Goliath and and his men killed the last four giants.

Giants of Davids time:
Goliath, Lami, Ishbibanob, Saph and Gath.

Jewish writers even wrote about the large bones that still existed in thier days, two thousand years ago. They believed since there was no written word of God, He sent angels to teach men righteousness and they became enamored by the daughters of men. This created the seed of the serpent, a race of giants.

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis CH.6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 that the sons of God (B'NAI ELOHIM)saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Standard cubit: elbow to end of middle finger 20".

De 3:11
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

Og's height = 9 cubit at 20"/cubit , 1ft/12" = 15 feet tall.

1 Sa 17:4
And there went out a champion out of the camp
of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath,
whose height was six cubits and a span.

Goliaths Height = 6 cubit at 20"/cubit + 9") 1ft/12" = 10.8 feet

Numbers 13:33
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them

Numbers 13:28
But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

Deuteronomy 1:28
Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose heart. They say, 'The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.

Deuteronomy 9:2
The people are strong and tall--Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: "Who can stand up against the Anakites?"
