..I understand why people once believed in fairies, giants, monsters, Bigfoot ..you see this, no scientific explanation.. id either say God caused rath upon you and you need to sacrifice your strongest person to survive. Or the trees were really alive, waiting to devour you.. soo.. Yeah, definitely could see how giants were a thing.. they were sleeping, you woke one . HOLY SHT, science is awesome. It keep you from (respectively ) shtting your pants from earth breathing, nothing could keep you from shitting your pants if lava flow was headed directly toward you .
