"All the ancient traditions of the North agree in describing the first
inhabitants of Scandinavia as men of colossal stature and incredible
strength. These giants (or trolls, as they ware called by the eddas)
were alleged to have been a remnant of the Canaanitish Anakim
(descendants of Anek, derived from Canaan, the son of Ham, the son of
Noah), whom Caleb and Joshua, by Divine command, drove out of Palestine,
and who ultimately settled in Scandia after fighting many battles with
the Scythian emigrants from Asia."
From the book: The Pedigree and History of the Washington Family: Derived from Odin, the first king of Scandinavia.
