Nephilim Descendants: Giants Among Us Today?

According to the Book of Giants, the Nephilim were typically tall and powerful, and caused chaos and destruction on Earth.

The Qumraï caves, located near the Dead Sea in Israel, were the site of a remarkable archaeological discovery in the 1940s and 1950s. The excavation yielded a vast collection of ancient Jewish texts, collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. These scrolls include various biblical texts, sectarian writings, and other works that were highly significant to the Jewish community of the time.

The Book of Giants, or more precisely, the Fragments of the Book of Giants, is one of the texts found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, it is important to note that the book is fragmented and large portions of it are missing or damaged, making it difficult to fully interpret its counterparts. Furthermore, it is written in Aramaic, a common Semitic language.

The Book of Giaпts literally speaks of fallen angels, humans, and the punishment that giants receive as a result. It mentions the existence of the Nephilim, who are described as the offspring of angels called Watchers and human women.

The book describes how the Nephilim lived on Earth, suggesting that they were a powerful and fearsome race. They were said to have gigantic stature, being noticeably taller and stronger than ordinary humans. They possessed exceptional skills and abilities, both physical and intellectual.

The Book of Giaпts relates that the Nephilim introduced war, violence, and corruption to humanity. They also taught humans forbidden practices, such as magic, divination, and sorcery. They were said to consume the flesh and blood of their fellow humans, i.e., capitalist practices.

However, the Book of Giaпts also describes the Nephilim as destructive and morally corrupt beings. Their reign over Earth is described as a time of great chaos, violence, and anarchy. The Nephilim, along with their human allies, oppressed and enslaved humanity, causing widespread suffering and distress.

The book also features the well-known legendary character Noah, who plays a prominent role in other well-known Jewish texts, such as the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The narrative in the Book of Genesis ties into the biblical story of the flood, in which the evil of the Nephilim and other famous depictions led God to purify the Earth, leaving Noah as a beacon of hope for humanity.

The Book of Gypsies, shrouded in mystery and fragmented in its original state, offers us a glimpse into a forgotten era. Its existence within the Dead Sea Scrolls shows the rich tapestry of an ancient Jewish history and provides a deeper understanding of the interplay between mythology and theology, and perhaps of a lost history.
