Is it true that there were giants in Canaan when the Israelites left Egypt?

Answer 1

A:Archaeologists have uncovered thousands of graves in what was once known as Canaan. If there was any truth in the biblical tradition of giants in the land, then at least some of these graves would have held the remains of giants, but none has ever been found. No extra-large houses with high ceilings. No cooking or eating utensils appropriate for a race of giants. Nothing.

In fact, the idea of an Israelite conquest of Canaan has been largely abandoned by mainstream scholars, who say that the real origins of the Israelites was as Canaanite peasants who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. There was no conquest and there were no giants.
