After any catastrophe, humanity is intent on re-establishing the pre-apocalypse civilization, which takes on legendary perfection and loses its dark shadows in the mists of time. Our own Western culture prides itself on the Renaissance, i.e. the Rebirth, of ancient culture, including the gods and demigods, after centuries of perpetual war plunging Rome’s civilization into the Dark Ages.
The same was true in the centuries following the diluvian apocalypse survived by only eight humans in that Dark Age – literally as we now know, from atmospheric analyses by Carl Sagan and others.
Hesiod’s Age of Heroes referred to the Mycenaean age and the stories told by Hesiod’s fellow poet Homer. Demigods whose power was traced to their lineages of the pre-Flood gods fought in the great wars between rival fledgling nation states coming into existence after the recent Flood.
The Greeks saw the “Age of Heroes” as transitional, standing between an earlier period in which gods and immortal giants inhabited the world and the current “Age of Iron,” defined by purely human toil and corruption. In this capacity, heroes were looked upon as powerful and even semi-divine ancestors who could act as benevolent helpers or dangerous avengers to their living descendants. The ancients’ definition of “hero” is recreated with the Marvel Comics world of superhumans.
Unlike the pre-flood demi-gods with the maximum amount of hyperdimensional DNA, as time passed the post-flood bearers carried lesser percentages of hyperdimensional genes with every generation mating with pure humans diluting the mix.
- Killed monsters.
- Founded a city, kingdom, or dynasty.
- Invented a new technology or trade.
- Participated in one or more “heroic” expeditions of a military or athletic nature.
Compelling reports and traces of fierce giants terrorizing the local population are found in virtually every ancient culture.
After the original reference in Genesis 6, the same word nephilim is used to refer to giants encountered by the Israelites scoping out the land of Canaan, where “great stature” is the indeed the key identifying feature.
“And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. And there we saw they giants/nephilim, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants/nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” (Nu 13:32-33)
“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span [9.5 ft].” (I Samuel 17:4-7)
These panic-stricken warrior spies were not using hyperbole when they reported that the inhabitants were being eaten up.
During the 10th and 11th centuries, ChacoCanyon, in western New Mexico, was the cultural center of the Anasazi homeland…populated by as many as 30,000 people. The Anasazi built magnificent villages such as ChacoCanyon’s Pueblo Bonito, a tenth-century complex that was as many as five stories tall and contained about 800 rooms. The people laid a 400-mile network of roads, some of them 30 feet wide, across deserts and canyons. And into their architecture they built sophisticated astronomical observatories.
But about 1250, many of the people began constructing settlements high in the cliffs—settlements that offered defense and protection…Anglo explorers who found them in the 1880s…name the absent builders the Cliff Dwellers.
Toward the end of the 13th century, some cataclysmic event forced the Anasazi to flee those cliff houses and their homeland and to move south and east…Today’s Pueblo Indians have oral histories about their peoples’ migration, but the details of these stories remain closely guarded secrets. Within the past decade, however, archaeologists have wrung from the pristine ruins new understandings about why the Anasazi left… “After about A.D. 1200, something very unpleasant happens,” says University of Colorado archaeologist Stephen Lekson.
cliff dwellings were not the Anasazi’s only response to whatever threatened them during the 1200s…Sand Canyon Pueblo in southwest Colorado…50 miles east…comprised 420 rooms, 90 to 100 kivas (underground chambers), 14 towers and several other buildings, all enclosed by a stone wall….created and abandoned in a lifetime, between 1240 and about 1285… “there were 50 to 75 large villages like Sand Canyon in the Mesa Verde, Colorado, region—canyon-rim sites enclosing a spring and fortified with high walls. Overall, the best defense plan against enemies was to aggregate in bigger groups. In southern Utah, where the soil was shallow and food hard to come by, the population density was low, so joining a big group wasn’t an option. They built cliff dwellings instead.”
In the 11th and early 12th centuries there is little archaeological evidence of true warfare, Lekson says, but…“There seem to have been goon squads…executed and even cannibalized them...” As late as 1700… attacked the Hopi pueblo of Awatovi, setting fire to the community, killing…and cannibalizing the victims. Vivid and grisly accounts of this massacre were recently gathered from elders…
An even more grisly picture emerges at Castle Rock…37 rooms, 16 kivas and nine towers, a complex that housed perhaps 75 to 150 people…built and occupied from 1256 to 1274—an even shorter period than Sand Canyon Pueblo existed…the site of a major massacre….“the massacre ended the occupation of Castle Rock”…the excavators at Castle Rock recognized that some of the dead had been cannibalized.
Turner’s 1999 book, Man Corn, documents evidence of 76 different cases of prehistoric cannibalism in the Southwest that he uncovered during more than 30 years of research.
Many Native American tribes from the Northeast and Southwest still relate the legends of the red-haired giants and how their ancestors fought terrible, protracted wars against the giants…
Others, like the Aztecs and Mayans recorded their encounters with a race of giants to the north when they ventured out on exploratory expeditions.
Who were these red-haired giants that history books have ignored? Their burial sites and remains have been discovered on almost every continent.
In the United States they have been unearthed in Virginia and New York state, Michigan, Illinois and Tennessee, Arizona and Nevada.
the story of the native Paiute’s wars against the giant red-haired men transformed from a local myth to a scientific reality during 1924 when the Lovelock Caves were excavated…
The Paiutes, a Native-American tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, told early white settlers about their ancestors’ battles with a ferocious race of white, red-haired giants. According to the Paiutes…the red-haired giants stood as tall as 12-feet and were a vicious, unapproachable people that killed and ate captured Paiutes as food…all the tribes in the area finally joined together to rid themselves of the giants…
archaeologists came to the inescapable conclusion that the Paiutes myth was no myth; it was true…thousands of artifacts recovered…two very large skeletons…8.5-feet tall…nearly 10-feet long.
Again, recognizing that the name Anak expresses the notable attributes of the individual to whom it was first designated, we discover that it derives from the root noun “neck” and the root verb “to suck”. We can link this with Enoch’s description of the pre-flood nephilim as biters (Enoch 10:13) to conclude that Anak and his descendants were biting into the jugular veins at the neck to suck out the life-blood.
“Why,” you might ask, “would God allow giant zombies to survive the flood when he had just used the flood to eliminate them?” Well, for starters, the flood was not a judgment against giants. The flood was a judgment against the wickedness and violence of humans. The destruction of the giants was collateral damage, fallout from the wickedness of mankind.
“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth…And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Genesis 6:5-13)
Obviously “all” flesh means all “types” of flesh, because at least two of every creature, clean and unclean, survived the flood in the ark to repopulate the earth.
Including the hybrid giants who cannibalized pure humans for nutrients not made by their incomplete human genome because that genome proved they were a species of human.
Howbeit, the giants who proceeded from angel fathers killed each other off prior to the flood.
“To Gabriel also the Lord said, Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication; and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth, and excite them one against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs.” (Enoch 10:13)
The phrase “length of days shall not be theirs” explains the purpose for not allowing any giants to survive the flood. The eight persons who survived the flood, along with their first generations of offspring, continued to experience the exceptionally long life-spans genetically preserved by the lessened solar damage of the ecosystem prior to the “windows of heaven” being opened. Any long-lived giant and giant offspring would have wiped out the human race before we got out of the starting gate.
In Greek mythology documented by Homer the deities personally walked the Earth. But by the time of Herodotus, we don’t find any giants, immortals, centaurs, fauns etc. running around. Was there any indication in the Greek written records by philosophers or historians why the supernatural creatures are missing?
The answers to this internet-posted question are:
- The Greeks did not consider them missing, simply invisible spirits. Along with other ancient writers and artists Herodotus featured a number of divinities participating in the 490 BC Battle of Marathon.
- Consistent with the biblical reports of hybrid giants resurfacing after the flood, Herodotus’ travelogue through the civilized world of his time c. 400 B.C. reports their continued existence in “the land of giants” in what is now South Sudan. The Makrobioi, “Long-Lifed” were exceptionally tall people with an average lifespan of 120 years. Pliny the Elder, a Roman writing in the 1st Century AD, relays an earlier report of a tribe of people in that same area of Africa with an average height exceeding twelve feet, which he called Syrbotai. These can certainly be the ancestors of today’s Dinka tribe, whose homeland, in South Sudan, continues to be called “the land of giants”. While loss of height over successive generations is to be expected, the Dinka people are still exceptionally tall in comparison to the other African tribes, and considered to be the tallest people in the world.
- Herodotus also reported the existence of human-animal hybrid Hemikynoi, “Half-Dogs,” Anubis-like people with dogs’ heads, and an entire nation of werewolves in Ukraine.
- In the Roman era, a staff member of Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-138) documented his examination of an embalmed Centaur – half man half horse – that had been killed in Arabia about 100 years previously, embalmed and sent to Claudius Caesar (A.D. 41-54) and maintained in the Empire’s treasury.
- Satyrs reported in Roman times are are similar to the Greek fauns, but were more humanoid with vestigial horns and unlike fauns who looked more like their goat father Pan, did not have goats’ heads or legs. As with the shortening height of the giants, this is consistent with increased human percentage of DNA over time in successive generations of fauns breeding with humans. The Greek geographer Pausanias (d. c. 180 A.D.) reported that a live Satyr from Libya was exhibited in Rome. In the 4th Century Saint Jerome reported that Emperor Constantine traveled to Antioch to view the preserved remains of a Satyr.
