GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
John F Carroll 8’7″
John Carroll (born in 1932) was born in Buffalo, New York and was
known as the Buffalo giant. Despite a large number of medical
treatments, he grew at a very rapid rate. He grew seven inches in a
matter of a few months. He died in 1969 and while his height was not
recorded at the time, it is believed that he was very close to nine feet.
John Rogan 8’9″
John Rogan was born in 1868 and he grew normally until the age
of 13. His height was not officially recorded until his death at
which point he was 8’9″ tall. Due to illness he weighed only 175
pounds. He is the tallest African American ever. He died in 1905
due to complications from his illness.
Johan Aason 8′ 9-1/4″
Johan was born in America the year that his mother moved there
from Norway. He beats John Rogan to the second spot on this list by
a mere 1/4 of an inch. Interestingly his mother was also a giant, at
7’2″. According to his death certificate from Mendocino State
Hospital, at the time of death he was 9’2″ – if this is true then he is
the tallest recorded human – beating our number 1 spot by 3 inches.
He is buried in Montana.
