“we're talking about is what's referenced in the Bible, right? Let's let's assume, or at least the book of Enoch, the Nephilim, right? If we're talking about giants, like the thing about giants is like native Americans have stories about redheaded giants.”

“belief about giants. And this goes back to the Book of Enoch. And the idea is that this race of giants are not entirely human, they're hybrids, that when they die, you can still make contact with their spirits, with their souls.”

“And certainly the writers of the biblical narrative believe that. I mean, the writer of Genesis and then obviously in the New Testament, you have references to Enoch. And so when you think about this, the antediluvian world, the cataclysm that destroyed it seemingly overnight, the great civilizations that existed back then, you see a series of parallels in all the stories, all the ancient stories,”

“And I don't mean necessarily. The Book of Enoch that we have today. I mean the tradition of Enoch. Was there a manuscript that Enoch wrote himself? Enoch was the seventh from Adam. So he's one of those individuals on the Sumerian king's list.”

“And so the watcher designation is – you find it in Daniel. But then in the book of Enoch, it's much more specific. These were 200 of these watchers. These are non-human celestial entities. You could describe them as extraterrestrial entities.”

“They're looking down at the daughters of men. They see that they're beautiful. Yeah. The book of Enoch is even more explicit. The book of Enoch says that the angels of heaven, the watchers, lusted after the daughters of men and they desired to pro-generate families.”

“Now, the reason why I say that is because you have the story of the watchers as chronicled in the Book of Enoch, but then overlay the story of Atlantis. You have the same story.”

“And they're locked in this conflict. So I'm hoping people are picking up the parallels here with the Book of Enoch, with the story of Enoch. And in the midst of this conflict, what happens? Cataclysm ensues. Atlantis, but not just Atlantis.”

“and with the addition of the Book of Enoch. Because you cannot separate the Enochian narrative, the Enochic traditions from the Bible.”

“So I have a book called Birthright. And I also published commentary on commentary and introduction to the Book of Enoch with my friends. Oh, Cydonia. We're going to have to get to that. That's a whole other conversation.”

“Giants as like referred to in the Bible in history, the Smithsonian giants. That's right. Biblical and historical accounts of giants. So I was traveling around the world investigating giants.”

“that, these are the, in the New Testament of the Bible, these are the demons that possess people. This is the origin of demons, by the way, in Hebrew cosmology. So there's this pervasive idea, again, especially in the ancient Near East, that dead giants can be communicated with, and, and can possess living human beings, their spirits.”

“they would invoke the spirits of the mighty ones, the great ones, the giants of old, the Rephaim. The biblical account names various different clans of giants that inhabited the Levant during and after the conquest by Joshua and the, and the Hebrews. And you, you had, the Anakim who descended from the Nephilim.”

“These are various clans of giants that are specifically named in the Bible. Of course, we get Goliath of Gath. Gath is a Philistine city. After Joshua entered the promised land, they drove out and eradicated a lot of these giant clans. But some of them remained.”

“or is he talking about mastodons? And the issue is that there are giants in the Bible. And also that when he wrote when he penned this, these lecture notes, there were newspaper articles circulating in the United States announcing the discovery of the bones of giants in the mounds.”

“And so in the Bible you have these angelic beings, the sons of God, who are lusting. They're looking down at the daughters of men. They see that they're beautiful. Yeah. The book of Enoch is even more explicit.”

“Only in— Not in prophetic iconography, but in the historical narrative of the Bible, angels are never depicted with wings. They are depicted as operating what I would describe as advanced aerospace vehicles.”

“and with the addition of the Book of Enoch. Because you cannot separate the Enochian narrative, the Enochic traditions from the Bible. Well, Enoch is referenced in the Bible. And the only reason why the Book of Enoch is not in the canon of the Bible is because of some rabbis, right?”

“I have a book called Birthright.”

“That's the only reason we have the Book of Enoch today. The Ethiopian Bible. The Ethiopians preserved it, both the Beta Israel Jews, very, very ancient Jewish community, and the Tawahedo Orthodox Christians.”

“who was going around Peru and he wrote a book called the Extirpation of Idolatry in Peru. I think it was 1602. And he's, he's going around Peru with the, what are called, which were called the visitadores, who were the, these were, um, officials.”

“Especially in the latter part of the 1800s. How tall was it? I mean, it's just, it's a... Giant over 10 feet high, according to Lewis and Richard Collins' History of Kentucky. Now, the contention is, of course, that these are wildly exaggerated and that the newspapers were engaging in hyperbole.”

“that, these are the, in the New Testament of the Bible, these are the demons that possess people. This is the origin of demons, by the way, in Hebrew cosmology. So there's this pervasive idea, again, especially in the ancient Near East, that dead giants can be communicated with, and, and can possess living human beings, their spirits.”

“I think, let's put it this way, I think Graham Hancock makes a very compelling, very compelling case that they do. Have you read his book, The Sign and the Seal? Yeah. The whole depiction of these people that are the watchers of this thing get cataracts because it has some radiation properties. Very compelling narrative.”

“ones that we know about is called Kispim, the Rite of Kispim. And there's a fantastic book written by my, my friends, Derek and Sharon, Gilbert, called Veneration, where they detail the Rite of Kispim and this idea of making contact with the spirits of dead giants and the veneration of giants.”
