Please see the discussion "The Nephalim" and "Who were the men of old/reknown" This quote is thoroughly discussed in those threads. I have no knowledge of the Hindu epics. Is there a story that refers to giants breeding with human maidens?

Hmm. I am a citizen of the US. I don't believe any of the above statement. Nor do I have any knowledge of Gematria. Heck, I don't even think George Bush has any belief in Gematria, though I can't speak for him. This is the first I've heard of the white US citizens being the only one's...

This is an interesting way to look at it, mythologically speaking. The story follows a common motif; that of Humankind striving to obtain more; Weather this is more than is allotted to them, or more than they are capable of, remains to be seen. In the Icarus legend it is clear that Icarus...

What you are describing is the "Hanging Gardens", not the "Tower of Babel", unless, of course, the two are one. I would imagine that the Tower of Babel story predates the hanging gardens. Anyone know when the hanging gardens were supposed to have been built?

Anybody want to come to my backyard this weekend? I'm going to be boiling a kid in its mothers milk! Yes, some of the rules we see in Deuteronomy and Leviticus may seem foreign, odd, and out of place with regard to modern morality. One thing about the Bible that you must remember is...

Measurements of the relative proportions of the radioisotops of Pottasium and Argon, in addition to the measurements of the location of the earths crust using paleomagnetic allignments simply do not support the idea that humankind was around at the time pangea split into the northern and...

There is another possibility; That Akhenaton was the pharoah of the Joseph Story. I have read a book recently that discusses this in detail; It equates Joseph with an egyptian vizier named Yuya (Yusef-YHWH: the egyptianized name of Joseph). The book is buried in a box in my room somewhere...

Wow! I'll have to check that book out. I'm assuming this is the same Robert Graves of "I, Claudius" fame... In my own research, (and I don't speak hebrew) I have read (Practical Kabbalah, Rabbi Laibl Wolf) that the word "Neph" is the hebrew word for "breath" or "Soul" (as in breath of life...

In addition, Nimrod was known as "The great hunter". For those anthropologists out there, this might tie him to a more ancient hunter gatherer tradition that survived into what was then "modern" memory. As far as his descent: "The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and...

With all due respect, there are some things about the flood myth and atlantis/lemuria as interpreted today, that really bother me. I am not much of a believer in "the flood" as an actual event. Yes, many societies have a story of the flood. It is not surprising when you think that ancient...

This info on Soloman/Amenhotep etc. is all new to me. I read a book by someone who's name escapes me (I'll get the reference soon) that promotes the theory that Joseph was Yuya, supposedly one of the only nobles buried in the Valley of the Kings, and the father of Queen Tiy (akhenaton's wife)...
