Re: 2,000 Year-Old "Book of Giants" Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out
All these comments...not one summary of how they

were 'taken out'...can anyone spare a paragraph

and in short, explain what it says happened to them????

Is it graphic in detail or just, "We got rid of them and killed them" and that's all?


1dunno1

Thanks!
 Quoting: 1guynAz


Noah’s flood wiped them out. The question is how they will come back. I read somewhere that the Cain -Seth connection has been totally debunked but I cannot remember where I read it. I will look for it.
 Quoting: Moppie


I find it troubling that Cain was the first to have an offspring named Enoch. Is that not troubling for you?
Why and how did the line of Seth of all the names available name the grandson, Enoch too after Cain had named his son.

Re: 2,000 Year-Old "Book of Giants" Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out
To learn, read the Chronograph[y] - the oldest book started to be written at the time of Moses...
The short history:
Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel.
Cain killed Abel.
Adam asked the Lord to have another son to "give" to Him.
Adam and Eve have been blessed and the third son was born - Seth.
Cain had children and these were "the children of the Man".
Seth had children and were called "the children of the Lord".
Cain told to Seth that his children never to marry to the children of Cain.

---snip---

-----------------------------------
Any other story is just a false description, is a fantasy, fiction of the writer.
 Quoting: L 70015407


So who did Cain marry and have children with if there was only supposed to be him, Adam, his mother and recently born Seth alive?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70896453


IMO they married brothers and sisters. I think the body and brain was wired differently at that time. Adam and Eve live very long lives and I think reproduction was possible well past 100 years old.

Perhaps genetics were completely different with each child kind of like none were genetically related. 1dunno1
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32183165


True. Adam and Eve had daughters as well. And the siblings married one another. They were closer to perfection and didn’t have the problems we have today marrying close relatives.

Re: 2,000 Year-Old "Book of Giants" Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out
I'd like to know what these Watchers and sons of Watchers, the Nephilim actually were. From a Christian perspective, they're the angels, fallen angels and the daughters of men, respectively.

But, in the Book of Giants, it says: "But God, in each epoch, sends apostles: Šīt[īl, Zarathushtra,] Buddha, Christ, . . .."

I'm quite curious about the mention of Zarathustra and Buddha in this Book of Giants. I understand this particular verse is based on a Manichaeist version which was believed to be translated from an Aramaic copy in the early 200's AD, so perhaps these names were added after by Mani (the founder of Manichaeism).

Either way, it's a curious addition to a work that describes the 200 fallen angels and Enoch's intercession.

It makes me wonder if there is a singular narrative among all the 'old' religions like those of Sumeria, Zoroastrianism, and Babylonian.

I read recently that the story of Moses has no supporting evidence that it ever took place in Egypt, and instead actually occurred in Canaan. This would place the roots of Judaism squarely with the Canaanites, who called the early Hebrews 'ilhm which means Elohim, which means children of El, or El Shaddai... [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

It seems to me there is a single thread that begins in Sumeria with the Annunaki and runs straight through all proceeding religions. Even some names are similar. Enlil might equate El, for instance. Or, what about the possibility that Noah's son Shem, is the same person/being as Shemyazaz of the fallen angels??

Anyway, I'd like to hear others' thoughts about the possibility that there might have been a single pantheon of god-like beings (nephilim, watchters), who founded and ruled cities, and who became known by different names as time progressed.. Enoch, Noah, etc. possibly even being among them.
 Quoting: BoatyMcBoatFace


I think from the Biblical reports that the Nephilim were drowned by the flood, but the fallen angels shed their meat suits and tried to take their proper place in heaven but it was closed to them and their dwelling place is in the vicinity of the Earth in and out of the spiritual realm. Because the seed of the Giants continued after the Flood it can be surmised that the wife of either Noah, or Shem, or Ham or Japheth was descended from the Nephilim.

I would guess Ham. Or maybe Japheth. What we know is that the genetics were tied to gigantism, double rows of teeth and red hair.

Now, there is the story that the fraternal twin of Jacob, who was the older by some minutes Esau who was said to be quite large and red of head and beard.
That would point to the wife of Shem being of the Nephilim which would put them side by side as to the lineage.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77797702


The nephilim were all male and most likely sterile being hybrids. And a giant couldn’t mate with a regular sized woman anyway. So if anyone after the flood were giants it’s wasn’t from the nephilim.

Re: 2,000 Year-Old "Book of Giants" Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out
I don't know if there will ever be a record of what was supposed to have been wiped out, or if there will be much agreement among translators or interpreters, but clues exist today of what survived.

On another thread about the illuminati covenant active right now on this board, there is discussion that earth has long been colonized by beings not originally from this planet and it is from them that so many customs that oppress us remain.

These are colonization itself, slavery, the importance of gold, and bloodlines. Height is also an issue, as is a realm close to the physical that is termed "the astral."

All of these make us miserable, don't they? and they concentrate power in few hands, as though the rest of us were what's the phrase? useless eaters, when how could this be true because we are dear to our family members and/or friends.

That is why so many say that the antidote to evil is love, not the carnal kind that can be provoked by the aliens via the astral or the addiction to pron or preying upon the vulnerable, but what comes from the heart and does no harm.

2,000 Year-Old "Book of Giants" Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out


Published on Jun 5, 2016

2,000 Year-Old "Book of Giants" Describes How the Nephilim Were Wiped Out

More than 60 years ago, excavations at the Qumran Caves revealed almost one thousand ancient scrolls that offered important glimpses into humanity’s past.
Archaeologists were stumped to find one unusual text among these, a scroll that offers clues regarding the demise of the Nephilim. It is called The Book of Giants.

The Bible makes several references to the Nephilim and most of them can be found in the book of Genesis.

The bulk of information pertaining to these giants of old come from the apocryphal Book of Enoch. This ancient Jewish religious work is attributed to Noah’s great-grandfather, although some scholars date parts of it to around 300 BC.

Enoch is a puzzling character, to say the least. The book of Genesis tells us he lived on Earth for 365 years, before being taken by God; “he walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him.”

During his time down here, our planet was also inhabited by ‘angels’ who interacted freely with humans, eventually interbreeding with the “daughters of man” and giving birth to a race of unnaturally strong and giant hybrids called the Nephilim.

The origin of the word Nephilim isn’t fully understood but scholars have proposed several etymologies: “the fallen”, “apostates”, or “those that cause others to fall down.” Regardless of their name, the Nephilim have always been a synonym for giants.

Yes and great question. Those who created the Nephilim (which is the human race) could not directly mate with with Earth's original specie.

The creators were 9 feet in height. That's a full 3 feet over what we consider tall today. Earth's original primitive specie was likely between 4.5 to 5 feet in height.

The gods did take the offspring for wives, because noticed they were beautiful. This is recorded in Genesis.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76984449


You assume they were all male. The offspring were apparently both male and female. The "mythology" of heroes in the Greek or even Norse tales talk of both sons and daughters. These stories were handed down as tales of the Nephilim and the Mighty Men of Old. The mighty men were apparently the fallen angels and the Nephilim were their offspring. They not only mated with the daughters of men but also other creatures thus creating half men half ox and half men half goat, and half men half horse.

Of course these weren't "men" they had the appearances of men. You talk about hybrids as if they were like when a horse is bred to a burro or a lion and a tiger the offspring is sterile.

However, what you are overlooking is that the fallen angels were supernatural beings that could change their appearance and size, at will. They had sex with women because they made theirselves down to her size. However the offspring were large and often killed these women. They were blood thirsty and ate humans like as told in another tale handed down Fee Fie Foe Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.

What people think were tall tales and fables were based in facts. All the Nephilim did not die in the flood so at least one wife of the sons of Noah carried the genes of them and they resulted in tribes of giants after the flood.
Nimrod was said to be a giant, perhaps the first to manifest his genes in the first 4 generations after the flood.

But, in the Book of Giants, it says: "But God, in each epoch, sends apostles: Šīt[īl, Zarathushtra,] Buddha, Christ, . . .."

I'm quite curious about the mention of Zarathustra and Buddha in this Book of Giants. I understand this particular verse is based on a Manichaeist version which was believed to be translated from an Aramaic copy in the early 200's AD, so perhaps these names were added after by Mani (the founder of Manichaeism).

Either way, it's a curious addition to a work that describes the 200 fallen angels and Enoch's intercession.

It makes me wonder if there is a singular narrative among all the 'old' religions like those of Sumeria, Zoroastrianism, and Babylonian.

I read recently that the story of Moses has no supporting evidence that it ever took place in Egypt, and instead actually occurred in Canaan. This would place the roots of Judaism squarely with the Canaanites, who called the early Hebrews 'ilhm which means Elohim, which means children of El, or El Shaddai... [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

It seems to me there is a single thread that begins in Sumeria with the Annunaki and runs straight through all proceeding religions. Even some names are similar. Enlil might equate El, for instance. Or, what about the possibility that Noah's son Shem, is the same person/being as Shemyazaz of the fallen angels??

Anyway, I'd like to hear others' thoughts about the possibility that there might have been a single pantheon of god-like beings (nephilim, watchters), who founded and ruled cities, and who became known by different names as time progressed.. Enoch, Noah, etc. possibly even being among them.

I think from the Biblical reports that the Nephilim were drowned by the flood, but the fallen angels shed their meat suits and tried to take their proper place in heaven but it was closed to them and their dwelling place is in the vicinity of the Earth in and out of the spiritual realm. Because the seed of the Giants continued after the Flood it can be surmised that the wife of either Noah, or Shem, or Ham or Japheth was descended from the Nephilim.

I would guess Ham. Or maybe Japheth. What we know is that the genetics were tied to gigantism, double rows of teeth and red hair.

Now, there is the story that the fraternal twin of Jacob, who was the older by some minutes Esau who was said to be quite large and red of head and beard.
That would point to the wife of Shem being of the Nephilim which would put them side by side as to the lineage.

The nephilim were all male and most likely sterile being hybrids. And a giant couldn’t mate with a regular sized woman anyway. So if anyone after the flood were giants it’s wasn’t from the nephilim.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76984449


You assume they were all male. The offspring were apparently both male and female. The "mythology" of heroes in the Greek or even Norse tales talk of both sons and daughters. These stories were handed down as tales of the Nephilim and the Mighty Men of Old. The mighty men were apparently the fallen angels and the Nephilim were their offspring. They not only mated with the daughters of men but also other creatures thus creating half men half ox and half men half goat, and half men half horse.

Of course these weren't "men" they had the appearances of men. You talk about hybrids as if they were like when a horse is bred to a burro or a lion and a tiger the offspring is sterile.

However, what you are overlooking is that the fallen angels were supernatural beings that could change their appearance and size, at will. They had sex with women because they made theirselves down to her size. However the offspring were large and often killed these women. They were blood thirsty and ate humans like as told in another tale handed down Fee Fie Foe Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.

What people think were tall tales and fables were based in facts. All the Nephilim did not die in the flood so at least one wife of the sons of Noah carried the genes of them and they resulted in tribes of giants after the flood.
Nimrod was said to be a giant, perhaps the first to manifest his genes in the first 4 generations after the flood.

The fallen angels and their offspring were all male. And the nephilim did not have children of their own. Since they are children of angels and women they would be hybrids and would be sterile. So there are no descendants of them.

To this day people of certain people are called 'Lahy' and their country Lahestan, and funnily those that use this name to this day don't even know the origin of the word, but the truth is it stems from the same core as Al-Lah, El-Lah and El-Lahim/Elohim, as -istan/stan just means 'land of...'

Point of fact - Laheystan actually translates as "Eternal Night of the Shit Abyss"
