The stories left a map. Ancient texts placed giants in specific cities, kingdoms and regions. Explore those locations on a modern map—and see what survives there today.

Gath → Rabbah of the Ammonites
Gath · Ancient Philistia
Tell es-Safi / Tel Zafit
Gath is identified with Tell es-Safi / Tel Zafit today, connecting the ancient textual tradition with a real archaeological site and a modern evidence trail.

The city where the text places Og's bedstead
Deuteronomy 3:11 places an iron bedstead associated with Og, king of Bashan, at Rabbah of the Ammonites. Ancient Rabbath-Ammon is associated with modern Amman; the Citadel preserves archaeological remains spanning the Bronze and Iron Ages and later periods.
Deuteronomy 3:11 describes the object as nine cubits long and four cubits wide and says it was at Rabbah of the Ammonites.
Rabbath-Ammon is ancient Amman. The Amman Citadel is an archaeological anchor for the city's long occupation history.
Using an 18-inch cubit gives about 13.5 × 6 feet (4.1 × 1.8 m). Our bed visualization is an artist's reconstruction; the original object has not been identified.
Evidence rule The text's dimensions are evidence for what the text claims—not archaeological proof that Og's bedstead has been found.

Real places. Ancient claims. Evidence kept separate.
Each qualified location connects an ancient textual tradition with its best-supported modern identification, documentary photography, archaeology, sources, and an explicit record of what the evidence does—and does not—establish.
