Transcript
In early 1946, in the region now known as the West Bank,
02:10
a group of Bedouin teenagers
02:12
were tending to their sheep and goats
02:14
near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
02:17
To pass the time, monotonous as it was,
02:20
they threw around the rocks they found
02:22
littered across the rugged desert terrain.
02:25
When one such rock was thrown
02:27
into the dark expanse of a cave,
02:29
the teenagers were surprised to hear a loud shattering noise
02:33
echoing from within.
02:35
Exploring, they found a collection of large clay jars,
02:39
one of which had been broken.
02:41
Though they did not know it at that moment,
02:44
these teenagers had made a historic discovery.
02:47
Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls.
02:50
In the years that followed this discovery,
02:53
archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters
02:56
would find additional scroll fragments
02:59
in 10 other caves in the area,
03:01
their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts
03:06
collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
03:09
Among these manuscripts were large portions
03:12
of a mysterious non-canonical religious text
03:15
which had long been forgotten.
03:17
It was called the Book of Enoch.
03:20
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books,
03:24
The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables,
03:27
The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions,
03:31
and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:49
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:53
In fact, the Book of Enoch provides
03:55
an entirely different recounting of the events
03:58
leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time,
04:01
that is a completely different doctrinal history.
04:05
It tells a story of the Watchers,
04:07
explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels,
04:11
sent to earth to watch over humans
04:13
at some undefined and ancient point in time.
04:17
Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans,
04:20
these Watchers became infatuated by human women,
04:24
and in short order, began to engage
04:26
in depraved sexual acts with them.
04:29
The Book of Enoch tells of the children born
04:32
through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans,
04:35
called the Nephilim.
04:37
These Nephilim were as described,
04:40
"giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,"
04:44
or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."
04:49
Angered with what the Watchers had done,
04:52
those described as gods
04:53
chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth.
04:57
Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
05:01
The Book describes Enoch's journeys between heaven and earth
05:05
in his role as an intermediary,
05:07
how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains
05:11
and the very ends of the earth from above.
05:14
Yet, despite Enoch's intervention,
05:16
the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become
05:20
must be punished.
05:22
Of course, the punishment would be a great flood.
05:25
This flood would destroy the Nephilim
05:27
and cement the Watchers in their prison.
05:30
Beforehand, however,
05:31
Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
05:35
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis,
05:37
which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions,
05:41
references the Nephilim in Chapter six,
05:43
describing "heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
05:48
This is not the only place in biblical canon
05:51
which the Nephilim appear.
05:53
In Numbers 13:32-33,
05:57
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim,
06:00
who are so large
06:01
they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.
06:05
Of course, many things in the Bible
06:07
are seen in modern times as allegorical,
06:09
that is, more philosophical myth than historical record.
06:13
There is archaeological evidence of a great flood
06:16
in the earth's past,
06:17
one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless
06:21
religious and cultural traditions across the world.
06:24
Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?
06:28
Surely there would be similar evidence.
06:31
What if there is?
06:33
In our 30-minute documentary video about giants,
06:36
which we linked in the description and comments,
06:38
we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons
06:41
unearthed across North America,
06:43
together with many newspaper articles
06:46
from the late 19th and early 20th century
06:49
suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real
06:52
and coexisted with early humans.
06:55
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States.
06:59
Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
07:02
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere.
07:06
In fact, stories of giants
07:08
permeate human history and tradition.
07:11
The famed explorer Marco Polo
07:14
once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were
07:17
"so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,"
07:21
while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
07:25
once claimed their city's founder was a giant named Antaeus.
07:29
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant's Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.
09:20
In a story popularized in modern times
09:23
by Dan Brown's seminal work The Da Vinci Code,
09:26
this canonization is remembered as happening,
09:29
somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea
09:32
in the 4th century.
09:34
There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine
09:37
and other high-ranking church authorities
09:39
shaped the Christian canon
09:41
to conform to their own secret agenda.
09:43
Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate.
09:47
The Council of Nicea
09:48
did not determine the official Christian canon.
09:52
Don't blame Dan Brown,
09:53
the famed philosopher Voltaire,
09:56
made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
09:59
But while the story may not be factually accurate,
10:02
it is accurate in a sense.
10:04
High ranking members of the church
10:06
certainly did pick and choose what to include
10:09
in the official biblical canon,
10:11
they argued, pulled strings,
10:14
cast their opponents as heretics,
10:16
and almost certainly sought to expand their own power.
10:19
It just didn't take place at a single council,
10:22
but rather, as a much longer process
10:24
between the 1st and 4th centuries.
10:27
It is generally understood
10:28
that by the end of the 4th century,
10:30
the process was complete and the Bible was officially set
10:34
without the Book of Enoch.
10:37
How could something as influential,
10:39
if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out?
10:42
To answer this question, one might examine other gospels
10:46
which were also censored from the final product.
10:49
Consider the Gospel of Peter,
10:51
a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886,
10:54
which tells the long-missing story
10:56
of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb
10:59
and features two gigantic angels
11:01
and a floating cross that talks
11:04
"And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying,
11:07
"'Thou hast preached to them that sleep.'
11:09
"And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'"
11:13
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary,
11:15
that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene
11:18
is named not only as one of Jesus' disciples,
11:21
but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife.
11:24
Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks
11:27
why he and the other disciples
11:29
should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds,
11:33
"If the Savior made her worthy,
11:35
"who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?
11:38
"Surely the Savior knows her full well.
11:41
"That is why he has loved her more than us."
11:44
Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary

11:48
and history-challenging stories.
11:50
Perhaps then, it should be no surprise
11:52
that these texts were censored out
11:55
by early power brokers of the official Christian canon.
11:59
It stands to reason that the Book of Enoch
12:01
may have been totally forgotten
12:03
if not for its survival in small orthodox sects
12:06
of Ethiopian Jews.
12:08
In fact, the only pre-modern version of the text
12:11
was written in Ge'ez, an ancient African language.
12:15
It was this version which Richard Laurence,
12:18
the Archbishop of Cashel, used in 1821
12:21
to produce the first ever English translation of the book,
12:25
the version used to inform study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
12:29
Curiously, though the Book of Enoch
12:32
was omitted from the established Christian canon
12:34
and subsequently forgotten
12:36
in all but the most obscure corners of religious tradition
12:39
and theological study,
12:41
the Bible does contain numerous references to it.
12:45
There are references to the Nephilim
12:47
in Genesis and Numbers.
12:49
Genesis also contains an extensive recounting
12:52
of Enoch's lineage.
12:54
The Book of Hebrews describes how
12:56
"God had taken Enoch away,"
12:59
seemingly a reference to his being taken to heaven
13:02
via fiery chariot before the Great Flood.
13:05
Jude, meanwhile, contains an entire paragraph
13:09
transcribed almost word-for-word from Enoch,
13:12
suggesting that the Book may, in fact,
13:14
have served as an early inspiration
13:16
for canonical biblical texts.
13:19
Further, Corinthians 11:5-6
13:23
contains instructions from St. Paul
13:26
that women should cover their heads while in church.
13:29
This, seemingly a direct reference
13:31
to the fact that the Watchers in the Book of Enoch
13:34
were attracted to women with long flowing hair.
13:37
This is a practice which remains
13:39
in Roman Catholicism and Islam to this day.
13:42
Though it was censored, even forgotten,
13:44
the Book of Enoch never truly disappeared.
13:47
There is something deeper behind the Book of Enoch
13:50
and its incredible stories,
13:52
something which goes beyond simply
13:54
whether or not it is part of the Christian canon.
13:57
It has been pointed out that Enoch,
13:59
the 7th patriarch of the Bible,
14:01
seems to reflect the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna,
14:06
in Babylonian tradition.
14:08
The ancient Greeks believed Enoch
14:10
to be the same as the god Hermes,
14:12
while ancient Egyptians had someone similar
14:14
in their own tradition.
14:16
The examples could continue, and so it must be asked,
14:20
why does Enoch, no matter his name,
14:22
keep appearing in the traditions of the ancients?
14:26
The answer may go back further than the Greeks,
14:29
Egyptians, or even the Babylonians,
14:31
back to the ancient Sumerians.
14:34
According to Sumerian texts,
14:36
earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings
14:39
sometime in the distant past.
14:41
These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition
14:45
in a way that is eerily similar
14:47
to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch.
14:50
Instead of Watchers, however,
14:52
Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki,
14:55
which literally means "those who came from the heavens".
14:59
They were gods, to the Sumerians
15:02
to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sitchin
15:04
and Erich von Däniken,
15:06
they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth.
15:10
Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories
15:12
of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers,
15:15
beginning to interbreed with human beings,
15:18
creating an entirely new species in the process,
15:21
reflecting the creation of the Nephilim.
15:24
Like the gods of the Book of Enoch,
15:26
the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth
15:30
and brought about a great flood.
15:32
Is it possible the Book of Enoch,
15:35
as well as other related traditions,
15:37
are simply retelling the older Sumerian story
15:40
of the Anunnaki?
15:42
Consider the Agricultural Revolution,
15:45
which began around 10,000 BCE,
15:48
during which time human beings transitioned
15:51
from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering
15:53
to one of agriculture and settlement.
15:56
According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE,
16:01
in what is now modern Kurdistan,
16:04
barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated,
16:07
oats, peas, and lentils were being grown,
16:10
while goats and sheep were domesticated.
16:14
Some 500 years after that,
16:16
copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region,
16:20
alongside weaving and pottery making.
16:23
Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture
16:25
was the first to develop a script,
16:27
standing as one of humanity's earliest literate societies.
16:32
Some have asked how human beings
16:34
could have made this jump so fast.
16:36
Interestingly, the Kurdish people
16:39
claim to be the descendants of the "Children of the Djinn"
16:42
the Children of Spirits.
16:44
Is this an ancient cultural reference
16:46
to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women?
16:50
According to the Sumerians,
16:52
it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge
16:55
and technology to human beings,
16:58
lending a helping hand, as it were,
17:00
to the progression of human civilization.
17:03
Many have suggested that this explains
17:05
seemingly impossible monuments
17:07
like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan,
17:10
those ancient monuments of
17:11
"extraordinary sophistication
17:13
"which is completely unexplained by the cultural
17:16
"and social circumstances of historical record."
17:19
Perhaps this also explains how human beings
17:22
were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers
17:25
to sophisticated civilizations
17:27
in a historically insignificant amount of time.
17:31
Incredibly, the Book of Enoch
17:33
describes an almost identical process taking place,
17:36
with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki
17:39
in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology.
17:43
They teach humans metallurgy and mining,
17:46
science and medicine, how to read and write,
17:50
and how to read the stars,
17:52
they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry
17:55
and reveal the secrets of the art of war.
17:59
The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads,
18:03
"And Azazel taught men to make swords
18:05
"and knives and shields and breastplates
18:08
"and made known to them the metals [of the earth]
18:11
"and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments
18:15
"and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids
18:18
"and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures.
18:22
"And there arose much godlessness
18:25
"and they committed fornication and they were led astray
18:28
"and became corrupt in all their ways."
18:31
Was the Book of Enoch, in this way,
18:34
merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki?
18:39
It is interesting that the most common example
18:41
given of something "completely unexplained by the cultural
18:44
"and social circumstances of historical record,"
18:47
that is to say, something the Anunnaki
18:49
must surely have helped ancient humans with,
18:52
are the Egyptian pyramids.
18:55
According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi,
18:59
these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid,
19:01
who lived before the Great Flood.
19:04
Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch.
19:10
Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch,
19:12
in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to
19:15
"the secrets of the lightnings"
19:17
and "the secrets of the thunder."
19:19
Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to
19:22
illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity.
19:26
Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki,
19:29
who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets
19:32
to human beings through crop circles for some time.
19:36
In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints
19:39
for Free Energy Devices,
19:41
we talked how in only the past few decades,
19:45
crop circles have appeared across the world
19:47
detailing complex mathematical equations,
19:50
magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers
19:54
and the field lines of an electrical charge,
19:57
the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki.
20:01
In fact, consider Enoch's description
20:04
of his journey to meet the gods
20:05
while keeping in mind the UFO sightings
20:08
which often accompany and compliment these crop circles,
20:12
"I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said.
20:16
"It was huge, like carved glass.
20:19
"The floor had glass plates.
20:21
"Through the floor you could see the stars
20:23
"we were crossing."
20:25
With this in mind, one might wonder
20:27
if the 'fiery chariot' which took Enoch away
20:30
before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft.
20:36
It may seem hard to believe
20:37
that stories as mind-blowing as these,
20:40
of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants,
20:43
stories which permeated ancient cultures
20:45
for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten,
20:49
the Sumerians erased
20:50
from the pantheon of ancient civilizations,
20:53
the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon.
20:57
However, given the way these stories
20:59
fundamentally reshape human history
21:01
and redefine what human beings are
21:03
their exclusion is perhaps no surprise.
21:06
Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased.
21:10
Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve
21:13
and the Garden of Eden.
21:15
Read it not literally, nor philosophically,
21:18
but as an allegory.
21:20
Read it metaphorically.
21:22
God creates Adam to watch over the earth,
21:25
much as the gods send the Watchers to do
21:27
in the Book of Enoch.
21:29
From Adam's rib, god creates Eve,
21:32
Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding
21:36
between the Watchers and human females.
21:39
Adam and Eve are told
21:40
they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden,
21:43
except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
21:47
Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge,
21:50
representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology
21:53
and knowledge to human beings,
21:55
which perhaps they were not
21:56
mentally evolved enough to handle.
21:59
Just as eating from the tree of knowledge
22:01
provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God,
22:04
so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers
22:08
"revealed the eternal secrets
22:10
"which were preserved for heaven,
22:12
"which men were striving to learn."
22:14
Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way,
22:17
it is easy to see the parallels between it
22:20
and the Book of Enoch.
22:21
And perhaps that is just the point.
22:24
Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve
22:27
were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch
22:30
in their own way,
22:31
retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki,
22:35
as so many across religions and cultures had before them,
22:38
inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically
22:42
into their own religious canon,
22:44
so that these ancient records could continue to exist.
22:48
What is human history?
22:51
Is it that which is understood
22:52
through officially sanctioned history books?
22:55

18:47
that is to say, something the Anunnaki
18:49
must surely have helped ancient humans with,
18:52
are the Egyptian pyramids.
18:55
According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi,
18:59
these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid,
19:01
who lived before the Great Flood.
19:04
Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch.
19:10
Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch,
19:12
in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to
19:15
"the secrets of the lightnings"
19:17
and "the secrets of the thunder."
19:19
Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to
19:22
illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity.
19:26
Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki,
19:29
who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets
19:32
to human beings through crop circles for some time.
19:36
In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints
19:39
for Free Energy Devices,
19:41
we talked how in only the past few decades,
19:45
crop circles have appeared across the world
19:47
detailing complex mathematical equations,
19:50
magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers
19:54
and the field lines of an electrical charge,
19:57
the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki.
20:01
In fact, consider Enoch's description
20:04
of his journey to meet the gods
20:05
while keeping in mind the UFO sightings
20:08
which often accompany and compliment these crop circles,
20:12
"I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said.
20:16
"It was huge, like carved glass.
20:19
"The floor had glass plates.
20:21
"Through the floor you could see the stars
20:23
"we were crossing."
20:25
With this in mind, one might wonder
20:27
if the 'fiery chariot' which took Enoch away
20:30
before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft.
20:36
It may seem hard to believe
20:37
that stories as mind-blowing as these,
20:40
of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants,
20:43
stories which permeated ancient cultures
20:45
for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten,
20:49
the Sumerians erased
20:50
from the pantheon of ancient civilizations,
20:53
the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon.
20:57
However, given the way these stories
20:59
fundamentally reshape human history
21:01
and redefine what human beings are
21:03
their exclusion is perhaps no surprise.
21:06
Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased.
21:10
Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve
21:13
and the Garden of Eden.
21:15
Read it not literally, nor philosophically,
21:18
but as an allegory.
21:20
Read it metaphorically.
21:22
God creates Adam to watch over the earth,
21:25
much as the gods send the Watchers to do
21:27
in the Book of Enoch.
21:29
From Adam's rib, god creates Eve,
21:32
Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding
21:36
between the Watchers and human females.
21:39
Adam and Eve are told
21:40
they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden,
21:43
except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
21:47
Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge,
21:50
representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology
21:53
and knowledge to human beings,
21:55
which perhaps they were not
21:56
mentally evolved enough to handle.
21:59
Just as eating from the tree of knowledge
22:01
provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God,
22:04
so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers
22:08
"revealed the eternal secrets
22:10
"which were preserved for heaven,
22:12
"which men were striving to learn."
22:14
Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way,
22:17
it is easy to see the parallels between it
22:20
and the Book of Enoch.
22:21
And perhaps that is just the point.
22:24
Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve
22:27
were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch
22:30
in their own way,
22:31
retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki,
22:35
as so many across religions and cultures had before them,
22:38
inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically
22:42
into their own religious canon,
22:44
so that these ancient records could continue to exist.
22:48
What is human history?
22:51
Is it that which is understood
22:52
through officially sanctioned history books?
22:55
Or is it something deeper, something more incredible,
22:58
if, perhaps, forgotten?
23:00
Maybe the answer has been hiding in plain sight
23:04
the whole time.

Kobojunkie:
More bullsheet! The book of Enoch, which I have read several times, does no such thing.

This is an analysis of the Book of Enoch.

ThePlainTruth:
11:48
and history-challenging stories.
11:50
Perhaps then, it should be no surprise
11:52
that these texts were censored out
11:55
by early power brokers of the official Christian canon.
11:59
It stands to reason that the Book of Enoch
12:01
may have been totally forgotten
12:03
if not for its survival in small orthodox sects
12:06
of Ethiopian Jews.
12:08
In fact, the only pre-modern version of the text
12:11
was written in Ge'ez, an ancient African language.
12:15
It was this version which Richard Laurence,
12:18
the Archbishop of Cashel, used in 1821
12:21
to produce the first ever English translation of the book,
12:25
the version used to inform study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
12:29
Curiously, though the Book of Enoch
12:32
was omitted from the established Christian canon
12:34
and subsequently forgotten
12:36
in all but the most obscure corners of religious tradition
12:39
and theological study,
12:41
the Bible does contain numerous references to it.
12:45
There are references to the Nephilim
12:47
in Genesis and Numbers.
12:49
Genesis also contains an extensive recounting
12:52
of Enoch's lineage.
12:54
The Book of Hebrews describes how
12:56
"God had taken Enoch away,"
12:59
seemingly a reference to his being taken to heaven
13:02
via fiery chariot before the Great Flood.
13:05
Jude, meanwhile, contains an entire paragraph
13:09
transcribed almost word-for-word from Enoch,
13:12
suggesting that the Book may, in fact,
13:14
have served as an early inspiration
13:16
for canonical biblical texts.
13:19
Further, Corinthians 11:5-6
13:23
contains instructions from St. Paul
13:26
that women should cover their heads while in church.
13:29
This, seemingly a direct reference
13:31
to the fact that the Watchers in the Book of Enoch
13:34
were attracted to women with long flowing hair.
13:37
This is a practice which remains
13:39
in Roman Catholicism and Islam to this day.
13:42
Though it was censored, even forgotten,
13:44
the Book of Enoch never truly disappeared.
13:47
There is something deeper behind the Book of Enoch
13:50
and its incredible stories,
13:52
something which goes beyond simply
13:54
whether or not it is part of the Christian canon.
13:57
It has been pointed out that Enoch,
13:59
the 7th patriarch of the Bible,
14:01
seems to reflect the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna,
14:06
in Babylonian tradition.
14:08
The ancient Greeks believed Enoch
14:10
to be the same as the god Hermes,
14:12
while ancient Egyptians had someone similar
14:14
in their own tradition.
14:16
The examples could continue, and so it must be asked,
14:20
why does Enoch, no matter his name,
14:22
keep appearing in the traditions of the ancients?
14:26
The answer may go back further than the Greeks,
14:29
Egyptians, or even the Babylonians,
14:31
back to the ancient Sumerians.
14:34
According to Sumerian texts,
14:36
earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings
14:39
sometime in the distant past.
14:41
These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition
14:45
in a way that is eerily similar
14:47
to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch.
14:50
Instead of Watchers, however,
14:52
Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki,
14:55
which literally means "those who came from the heavens".
14:59
They were gods, to the Sumerians
15:02
to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sitchin
15:04
and Erich von Däniken,
15:06
they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth.
15:10
Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories
15:12
of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers,
15:15
beginning to interbreed with human beings,
15:18
creating an entirely new species in the process,
15:21
reflecting the creation of the Nephilim.
15:24
Like the gods of the Book of Enoch,
15:26
the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth
15:30
and brought about a great flood.
15:32
Is it possible the Book of Enoch,
15:35
as well as other related traditions,
15:37
are simply retelling the older Sumerian story
15:40
of the Anunnaki?
15:42
Consider the Agricultural Revolution,
15:45
which began around 10,000 BCE,
15:48
during which time human beings transitioned
15:51
from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering
15:53
to one of agriculture and settlement.
15:56
According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE,
16:01
in what is now modern Kurdistan,
16:04
barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated,
16:07
oats, peas, and lentils were being grown,
16:10
while goats and sheep were domesticated.
16:14
Some 500 years after that,
16:16
copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region,
16:20
alongside weaving and pottery making.
16:23
Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture
16:25
was the first to develop a script,
16:27
standing as one of humanity's earliest literate societies.
16:32
Some have asked how human beings
16:34
could have made this jump so fast.
16:36
Interestingly, the Kurdish people
16:39
claim to be the descendants of the "Children of the Djinn"
16:42
the Children of Spirits.
16:44
Is this an ancient cultural reference
16:46
to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women?
16:50
According to the Sumerians,
16:52
it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge
16:55
and technology to human beings,
16:58
lending a helping hand, as it were,
17:00
to the progression of human civilization.
17:03
Many have suggested that this explains
17:05
seemingly impossible monuments
17:07
like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan,
17:10
those ancient monuments of
17:11
"extraordinary sophistication
17:13
"which is completely unexplained by the cultural
17:16
"and social circumstances of historical record."
17:19
Perhaps this also explains how human beings
17:22
were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers
17:25
to sophisticated civilizations
17:27
in a historically insignificant amount of time.
17:31
Incredibly, the Book of Enoch
17:33
describes an almost identical process taking place,
17:36
with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki
17:39
in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology.
17:43
They teach humans metallurgy and mining,
17:46
science and medicine, how to read and write,
17:50
and how to read the stars,
17:52
they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry
17:55
and reveal the secrets of the art of war.
17:59
The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads,
18:03
"And Azazel taught men to make swords
18:05
"and knives and shields and breastplates
18:08
"and made known to them the metals [of the earth]
18:11
"and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments
18:15
"and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids
18:18
"and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures.
18:22
"And there arose much godlessness
18:25
"and they committed fornication and they were led astray
18:28
"and became corrupt in all their ways."
18:31
Was the Book of Enoch, in this way,
18:34
merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki?
18:39
It is interesting that the most common example
18:41
given of something "completely unexplained by the cultural
18:44
"and social circumstances of historical record,"
18:47
that is to say, something the Anunnaki
18:49
must surely have helped ancient humans with,
18:52
are the Egyptian pyramids.
18:55
According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi,
18:59
these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid,
19:01
who lived before the Great Flood.
19:04
Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch.
19:10
Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch,
19:12
in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to
19:15
"the secrets of the lightnings"
19:17
and "the secrets of the thunder."
19:19
Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to
19:22
illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity.
19:26
Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki,
19:29
who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets
19:32
to human beings through crop circles for some time.
19:36
In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints
19:39
for Free Energy Devices,
19:41
we talked how in only the past few decades,
19:45
crop circles have appeared across the world
19:47
detailing complex mathematical equations,
19:50
magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers
19:54
and the field lines of an electrical charge,
19:57
the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki.
20:01
In fact, consider Enoch's description
20:04
of his journey to meet the gods
20:05
while keeping in mind the UFO sightings
20:08
which often accompany and compliment these crop circles,
20:12
"I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said.
20:16
"It was huge, like carved glass.
20:19
"The floor had glass plates.
20:21

20:23

15:42 Consider the Agricultural Revolution, 15:45 which began around 10,000 BCE, 15:48 during which time human beings transitioned 15:51 from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering 15:53 to one of agriculture and settlement. 15:56 According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE, 16:01 in what is now modern Kurdistan, 16:04 barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated, 16:07 oats, peas, and lentils were being grown, 16:10 while goats and sheep were domesticated. 16:14 Some 500 years after that, 16:16 copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region, 16:20 alongside weaving and pottery making. 16:23 Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture 16:25 was the first to develop a script, 16:27 standing as one of humanity's earliest literate societies. 16:32 Some have asked how human beings 16:34 could have made this jump so fast. 16:36 Interestingly, the Kurdish people 16:39 claim to be the descendants of the "Children of the Djinn" 16:42 the Children of Spirits. 16:44 Is this an ancient cultural reference 16:46 to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women? 16:50 According to the Sumerians, 16:52 it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge 16:55 and technology to human beings, 16:58 lending a helping hand, as it were, 17:00 to the progression of human civilization. 17:03 Many have suggested that this explains 17:05 seemingly impossible monuments 17:07 like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan, 17:10 those ancient monuments of 17:11 "extraordinary sophistication 17:13 "which is completely unexplained by the cultural 17:16 "and social circumstances of historical record." 17:19 Perhaps this also explains how human beings 17:22 were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers 17:25 to sophisticated civilizations 17:27 in a historically insignificant amount of time. 17:31 Incredibly, the Book of Enoch 17:33 describes an almost identical process taking place, 17:36 with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki 17:39 in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology. 17:43 They teach humans metallurgy and mining, 17:46 science and medicine, how to read and write, 17:50 and how to read the stars, 17:52 they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry 17:55 and reveal the secrets of the art of war. 17:59 The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads, 18:03 "And Azazel taught men to make swords 18:05 "and knives and shields and breastplates 18:08 "and made known to them the metals [of the earth] 18:11 "and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments 18:15 "and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids 18:18 "and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. 18:22 "And there arose much godlessness 18:25 "and they committed fornication and they were led astray 18:28 "and became corrupt in all their ways." 18:31 Was the Book of Enoch, in this way, 18:34 merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki? 18:39 It is interesting that the most common example 18:41 given of something "completely unexplained by the cultural 18:44 "and social circumstances of historical record," 18:47 that is to say, something the Anunnaki 18:49 must surely have helped ancient humans with, 18:52 are the Egyptian pyramids. 18:55 According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi, 18:59 these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid, 19:01 who lived before the Great Flood. 19:04 Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch. 19:10 Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch, 19:12 in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to 19:15 "the secrets of the lightnings" 19:17 and "the secrets of the thunder." 19:19 Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to 19:22 illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity. 19:26 Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki, 19:29 who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets 19:32 to human beings through crop circles for some time. 19:36 In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints 19:39 for Free Energy Devices, 19:41 we talked how in only the past few decades, 19:45 crop circles have appeared across the world 19:47 detailing complex mathematical equations, 19:50 magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers 19:54 and the field lines of an electrical charge, 19:57 the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki. 20:01 In fact, consider Enoch's description 20:04 of his journey to meet the gods 20:05 while keeping in mind the UFO sightings 20:08 which often accompany and compliment these crop circles, 20:12 "I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said. 20:16 "It was huge, like carved glass. 20:19 "The floor had glass plates. 20:21 "Through the floor you could see the stars 20:23 "we were crossing." 20:25 With this in mind, one might wonder 20:27 if the 'fiery chariot' which took Enoch away 20:30 before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft. 20:36 It may seem hard to believe 20:37 that stories as mind-blowing as these, 20:40 of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants, 20:43 stories which permeated ancient cultures 20:45 for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten, 20:49 the Sumerians erased 20:50 from the pantheon of ancient civilizations, 20:53 the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon. 20:57 However, given the way these stories 20:59 fundamentally reshape human history 21:01 and redefine what human beings are 21:03 their exclusion is perhaps no surprise. 21:06 Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased. 21:10 Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve 21:13 and the Garden of Eden. 21:15 Read it not literally, nor philosophically, 21:18 but as an allegory. 21:20 Read it metaphorically. 21:22 God creates Adam to watch over the earth, 21:25 much as the gods send the Watchers to do 21:27 in the Book of Enoch. 21:29 From Adam's rib, god creates Eve, 21:32 Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding 21:36 between the Watchers and human females. 21:39 Adam and Eve are told 21:40 they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden, 21:43 except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 21:47 Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge, 21:50 representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology 21:53 and knowledge to human beings, 21:55 which perhaps they were not 21:56 mentally evolved enough to handle. 21:59 Just as eating from the tree of knowledge 22:01 provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God, 22:04 so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers 22:08 "revealed the eternal secrets 22:10 "which were preserved for heaven, 22:12 "which men were striving to learn." 22:14 Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way, 22:17 it is easy to see the parallels between it 22:20 and the Book of Enoch. 22:21 And perhaps that is just the point. 22:24 Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve 22:27 were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch 22:30 in their own way, 22:31 retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki, 22:35 as so many across religions and cultures had before them, 22:38 inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically 22:42 into their own religious canon, 22:44 so that these ancient records could continue to exist. 22:48 What is human history? 22:51 Is it that which is understood 22:52 through officially sanctioned history books? 22:55 Or is it something deeper, something more incredible, 22:58 if, perhaps, forgotten? 23:00 Maybe the answer has been hiding in plain sight 23:04 the whole time. 23:08 Thank you for watching. 23:09 If you enjoyed the video, please hit the like button 23:12 and if you're new, hit subscribe and the bell next to it 23:16 for future notifications.

14:26 The answer may go back further than the Greeks, 14:29 Egyptians, or even the Babylonians, 14:31 back to the ancient Sumerians. 14:34 According to Sumerian texts, 14:36 earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings 14:39 sometime in the distant past. 14:41 These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition 14:45 in a way that is eerily similar 14:47 to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch. 14:50 Instead of Watchers, however, 14:52 Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki, 14:55 which literally means "those who came from the heavens". 14:59 They were gods, to the Sumerians 15:02 to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sitchin 15:04 and Erich von Däniken, 15:06 they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth. 15:10 Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories 15:12 of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers, 15:15 beginning to interbreed with human beings, 15:18 creating an entirely new species in the process, 15:21 reflecting the creation of the Nephilim. 15:24 Like the gods of the Book of Enoch, 15:26 the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth 15:30 and brought about a great flood. 15:32 Is it possible the Book of Enoch, 15:35 as well as other related traditions, 15:37 are simply retelling the older Sumerian story 15:40 of the Anunnaki? 15:42 Consider the Agricultural Revolution, 15:45 which began around 10,000 BCE, 15:48 during which time human beings transitioned 15:51 from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering 15:53 to one of agriculture and settlement. 15:56 According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE, 16:01 in what is now modern Kurdistan, 16:04 barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated, 16:07 oats, peas, and lentils were being grown, 16:10 while goats and sheep were domesticated. 16:14 Some 500 years after that, 16:16 copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region, 16:20 alongside weaving and pottery making. 16:23 Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture 16:25 was the first to develop a script, 16:27 standing as one of humanity's earliest literate societies. 16:32 Some have asked how human beings 16:34 could have made this jump so fast. 16:36 Interestingly, the Kurdish people 16:39 claim to be the descendants of the "Children of the Djinn" 16:42 the Children of Spirits. 16:44 Is this an ancient cultural reference 16:46 to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women? 16:50 According to the Sumerians, 16:52 it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge 16:55 and technology to human beings, 16:58 lending a helping hand, as it were, 17:00 to the progression of human civilization. 17:03 Many have suggested that this explains 17:05 seemingly impossible monuments 17:07 like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan, 17:10 those ancient monuments of 17:11 "extraordinary sophistication 17:13 "which is completely unexplained by the cultural 17:16 "and social circumstances of historical record." 17:19 Perhaps this also explains how human beings 17:22 were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers 17:25 to sophisticated civilizations 17:27 in a historically insignificant amount of time. 17:31 Incredibly, the Book of Enoch 17:33 describes an almost identical process taking place, 17:36 with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki 17:39 in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology. 17:43 They teach humans metallurgy and mining, 17:46 science and medicine, how to read and write, 17:50 and how to read the stars, 17:52 they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry 17:55 and reveal the secrets of the art of war. 17:59 The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads, 18:03 "And Azazel taught men to make swords 18:05 "and knives and shields and breastplates 18:08 "and made known to them the metals [of the earth] 18:11 "and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments 18:15 "and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids 18:18 "and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. 18:22 "And there arose much godlessness 18:25 "and they committed fornication and they were led astray 18:28 "and became corrupt in all their ways." 18:31 Was the Book of Enoch, in this way, 18:34 merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki? 18:39 It is interesting that the most common example 18:41 given of something "completely unexplained by the cultural 18:44 "and social circumstances of historical record," 18:47 that is to say, something the Anunnaki 18:49 must surely have helped ancient humans with, 18:52 are the Egyptian pyramids. 18:55 According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi, 18:59 these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid, 19:01 who lived before the Great Flood. 19:04 Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch. 19:10 Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch, 19:12 in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to 19:15 "the secrets of the lightnings" 19:17 and "the secrets of the thunder." 19:19 Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to 19:22 illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity. 19:26 Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki, 19:29 who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets 19:32 to human beings through crop circles for some time. 19:36 In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints 19:39 for Free Energy Devices, 19:41 we talked how in only the past few decades, 19:45 crop circles have appeared across the world 19:47 detailing complex mathematical equations, 19:50 magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers 19:54 and the field lines of an electrical charge, 19:57 the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki. 20:01 In fact, consider Enoch's description 20:04 of his journey to meet the gods 20:05 while keeping in mind the UFO sightings 20:08 which often accompany and compliment these crop circles, 20:12 "I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said. 20:16 "It was huge, like carved glass. 20:19 "The floor had glass plates. 20:21 "Through the floor you could see the stars 20:23 "we were crossing." 20:25 With this in mind, one might wonder 20:27 if the 'fiery chariot' which took Enoch away 20:30 before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft. 20:36 It may seem hard to believe 20:37 that stories as mind-blowing as these, 20:40 of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants, 20:43 stories which permeated ancient cultures 20:45 for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten, 20:49 the Sumerians erased 20:50 from the pantheon of ancient civilizations, 20:53 the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon. 20:57 However, given the way these stories 20:59 fundamentally reshape human history 21:01 and redefine what human beings are 21:03 their exclusion is perhaps no surprise. 21:06 Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased. 21:10 Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve 21:13 and the Garden of Eden. 21:15 Read it not literally, nor philosophically, 21:18 but as an allegory. 21:20 Read it metaphorically. 21:22 God creates Adam to watch over the earth, 21:25 much as the gods send the Watchers to do 21:27 in the Book of Enoch. 21:29 From Adam's rib, god creates Eve, 21:32 Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding 21:36 between the Watchers and human females. 21:39 Adam and Eve are told 21:40 they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden, 21:43 except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 21:47 Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge, 21:50 representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology 21:53 and knowledge to human beings, 21:55 which perhaps they were not 21:56 mentally evolved enough to handle. 21:59 Just as eating from the tree of knowledge 22:01 provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God, 22:04 so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers 22:08 "revealed the eternal secrets 22:10 "which were preserved for heaven, 22:12 "which men were striving to learn." 22:14 Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way, 22:17 it is easy to see the parallels between it 22:20 and the Book of Enoch. 22:21 And perhaps that is just the point. 22:24 Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve 22:27 were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch 22:30 in their own way, 22:31 retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki, 22:35 as so many across religions and cultures had before them, 22:38 inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically 22:42 into their own religious canon, 22:44 so that these ancient records could continue to exist. 22:48 What is human history? 22:51 Is it that which is understood 22:52 through officially sanctioned history books? 22:55 Or is it something deeper, something more incredible, 22:58 if, perhaps, forgotten? 23:00 Maybe the answer has been hiding in plain sight 23:04 the whole time. 23:08 Thank you for watching. 23:09 If you enjoyed the video, please hit the like button 23:12 and if you're new, hit subscribe and the bell next to it 23:16 for future notifications.

14:26 The answer may go back further than the Greeks, 14:29 Egyptians, or even the Babylonians, 14:31 back to the ancient Sumerians. 14:34 According to Sumerian texts, 14:36 earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings 14:39 sometime in the distant past. 14:41 These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition 14:45 in a way that is eerily similar 14:47 to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch. 14:50 Instead of Watchers, however, 14:52 Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki, 14:55 which literally means "those who came from the heavens". 14:59 They were gods, to the Sumerians 15:02 to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sitchin 15:04 and Erich von Däniken, 15:06 they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth. 15:10 Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories 15:12 of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers, 15:15 beginning to interbreed with human beings, 15:18 creating an entirely new species in the process, 15:21 reflecting the creation of the Nephilim. 15:24 Like the gods of the Book of Enoch, 15:26 the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth 15:30 and brought about a great flood. 15:32 Is it possible the Book of Enoch, 15:35 as well as other related traditions, 15:37 are simply retelling the older Sumerian story 15:40 of the Anunnaki? 15:42 Consider the Agricultural Revolution, 15:45 which began around 10,000 BCE, 15:48 during which time human beings transitioned 15:51 from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering 15:53 to one of agriculture and settlement. 15:56 According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE, 16:01 in what is now modern Kurdistan, 16:04 barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated, 16:07 oats, peas, and lentils were being grown, 16:10 while goats and sheep were domesticated. 16:14 Some 500 years after that, 16:16 copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region, 16:20 alongside weaving and pottery making. 16:23 Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture 16:25 was the first to develop a script, 16:27 standing as one of humanity's earliest literate societies. 16:32 Some have asked how human beings 16:34 could have made this jump so fast. 16:36 Interestingly, the Kurdish people 16:39 claim to be the descendants of the "Children of the Djinn" 16:42 the Children of Spirits. 16:44 Is this an ancient cultural reference 16:46 to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women? 16:50 According to the Sumerians, 16:52 it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge 16:55 and technology to human beings, 16:58 lending a helping hand, as it were, 17:00 to the progression of human civilization. 17:03 Many have suggested that this explains 17:05 seemingly impossible monuments 17:07 like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan, 17:10 those ancient monuments of 17:11 "extraordinary sophistication 17:13 "which is completely unexplained by the cultural 17:16 "and social circumstances of historical record." 17:19 Perhaps this also explains how human beings 17:22 were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers 17:25 to sophisticated civilizations 17:27 in a historically insignificant amount of time. 17:31 Incredibly, the Book of Enoch 17:33 describes an almost identical process taking place, 17:36 with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki 17:39 in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology. 17:43 They teach humans metallurgy and mining, 17:46 science and medicine, how to read and write, 17:50 and how to read the stars, 17:52 they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry 17:55 and reveal the secrets of the art of war. 17:59 The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads, 18:03 "And Azazel taught men to make swords 18:05 "and knives and shields and breastplates 18:08 "and made known to them the metals [of the earth] 18:11 "and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments 18:15 "and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids 18:18 "and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. 18:22 "And there arose much godlessness 18:25 "and they committed fornication and they were led astray 18:28 "and became corrupt in all their ways." 18:31 Was the Book of Enoch, in this way, 18:34 merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki? 18:39 It is interesting that the most common example 18:41 given of something "completely unexplained by the cultural 18:44 "and social circumstances of historical record," 18:47 that is to say, something the Anunnaki 18:49 must surely have helped ancient humans with, 18:52 are the Egyptian pyramids. 18:55 According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi, 18:59 these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid, 19:01 who lived before the Great Flood. 19:04 Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch. 19:10 Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch, 19:12 in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to 19:15 "the secrets of the lightnings" 19:17 and "the secrets of the thunder." 19:19 Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to 19:22 illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity. 19:26 Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki, 19:29 who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets 19:32 to human beings through crop circles for some time. 19:36 In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints 19:39 for Free Energy Devices, 19:41 we talked how in only the past few decades, 19:45 crop circles have appeared across the world 19:47 detailing complex mathematical equations, 19:50 magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers 19:54 and the field lines of an electrical charge, 19:57 the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki. 20:01 In fact, consider Enoch's description 20:04 of his journey to meet the gods 20:05 while keeping in mind the UFO sightings 20:08 which often accompany and compliment these crop circles, 20:12 "I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said. 20:16 "It was huge, like carved glass. 20:19 "The floor had glass plates. 20:21 "Through the floor you could see the stars 20:23 "we were crossing." 20:25 With this in mind, one might wonder 20:27 if the 'fiery chariot' which took Enoch away 20:30 before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft. 20:36 It may seem hard to believe 20:37 that stories as mind-blowing as these, 20:40 of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants, 20:43 stories which permeated ancient cultures 20:45 for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten, 20:49 the Sumerians erased 20:50 from the pantheon of ancient civilizations, 20:53 the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon. 20:57 However, given the way these stories 20:59 fundamentally reshape human history 21:01 and redefine what human beings are 21:03 their exclusion is perhaps no surprise. 21:06 Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased. 21:10 Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve 21:13 and the Garden of Eden. 21:15 Read it not literally, nor philosophically, 21:18 but as an allegory. 21:20 Read it metaphorically. 21:22 God creates Adam to watch over the earth, 21:25 much as the gods send the Watchers to do 21:27 in the Book of Enoch. 21:29 From Adam's rib, god creates Eve, 21:32 Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding 21:36 between the Watchers and human females. 21:39 Adam and Eve are told 21:40 they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden, 21:43 except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 21:47 Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge, 21:50 representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology 21:53 and knowledge to human beings, 21:55 which perhaps they were not 21:56 mentally evolved enough to handle. 21:59 Just as eating from the tree of knowledge 22:01 provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God, 22:04 so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers 22:08 "revealed the eternal secrets 22:10 "which were preserved for heaven, 22:12 "which men were striving to learn." 22:14 Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way, 22:17 it is easy to see the parallels between it 22:20 and the Book of Enoch. 22:21 And perhaps that is just the point. 22:24 Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve 22:27 were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch 22:30 in their own way, 22:31 retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki, 22:35 as so many across religions and cultures had before them, 22:38 inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically 22:42 into their own religious canon, 22:44 so that these ancient records could continue to exist. 22:48 What is human history? 22:51 Is it that which is understood 22:52 through officially sanctioned history books? 22:55 Or is it something deeper, something more incredible, 22:58 if, perhaps, forgotten? 23:00 Maybe the answer has been hiding in plain sight 23:04 the whole time. 23:08 Thank you for watching. 23:09 If you enjoyed the video, please hit the like button 23:12 and if you're new, hit subscribe and the bell next to it 23:16 for future notifications.

00:00
What is human history? 00:02 It is a record of the victors, of power and purpose. 00:06 Evolution, the agricultural revolution, and so on, 00:10
most are at least vaguely familiar with these concepts.
00:14
But what if it is not quite so simple?
00:18
What if the stories of the ancients,
00:20
tales of gods and angels, of giants and disasters,
00:23
are more literal than they might seem upon first glance?
00:28
Look closer, and an alternative history of the human race
00:31
may be revealed.
00:33
One which totally upends conventional knowledge
00:36
and the history of power.
00:38
This is an alternative history
00:40
which has been censored out of human understanding,
00:43
mostly forgotten or ignored.
00:46
Until now.

02:05
In early 1946, in the region now known as the West Bank,
02:10
a group of Bedouin teenagers
02:12
were tending to their sheep and goats
02:14
near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
02:17
To pass the time, monotonous as it was,
02:20
they threw around the rocks they found
02:22
littered across the rugged desert terrain.
02:25
When one such rock was thrown
02:27
into the dark expanse of a cave,
02:29
the teenagers were surprised to hear a loud shattering noise
02:33
echoing from within.
02:35
Exploring, they found a collection of large clay jars,
02:39
one of which had been broken.
02:41
Though they did not know it at that moment,
02:44
these teenagers had made a historic discovery.
02:47
Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls.
02:50
In the years that followed this discovery,
02:53
archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters
02:56
would find additional scroll fragments
02:59
in 10 other caves in the area,
03:01
their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts
03:06
collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
03:09
Among these manuscripts were large portions
03:12
of a mysterious non-canonical religious text
03:15
which had long been forgotten.
03:17
It was called the Book of Enoch.
03:20
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books,
03:24
The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables,
03:27
The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions,
03:31
and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:49
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:53
In fact, the Book of Enoch provides
03:55
an entirely different recounting of the events
03:58
leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time,
04:01
that is a completely different doctrinal history.
04:05
It tells a story of the Watchers,
04:07
explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels,
04:11
sent to earth to watch over humans
04:13
at some undefined and ancient point in time.
04:17
Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans,
04:20
these Watchers became infatuated by human women,
04:24
and in short order, began to engage
04:26
in depraved sexual acts with them.
04:29
The Book of Enoch tells of the children born
04:32
through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans,
04:35
called the Nephilim.
04:37
These Nephilim were as described,
04:40
"giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,"
04:44
or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."
04:49
Angered with what the Watchers had done,
04:52
those described as gods
04:53
chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth.
04:57
Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
05:01
The Book describes Enoch's journeys between heaven and earth
05:05
in his role as an intermediary,
05:07
how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains
05:11
and the very ends of the earth from above.
05:14
Yet, despite Enoch's intervention,
05:16
the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become
05:20
must be punished.
05:22
Of course, the punishment would be a great flood.
05:25
This flood would destroy the Nephilim
05:27
and cement the Watchers in their prison.
05:30
Beforehand, however,
05:31
Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
05:35
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis,
05:37
which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions,
05:41
references the Nephilim in Chapter six,
05:43
describing "heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
05:48
This is not the only place in biblical canon
05:51
which the Nephilim appear.
05:53
In Numbers 13:32-33,
05:57
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim,
06:00
who are so large
06:01
they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.
06:05
Of course, many things in the Bible
06:07
are seen in modern times as allegorical,
06:09
that is, more philosophical myth than historical record.
06:13
There is archaeological evidence of a great flood
06:16
in the earth's past,
06:17
one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless
06:21
religious and cultural traditions across the world.
06:24
Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?
06:28
Surely there would be similar evidence.
06:31
What if there is?
06:33
In our 30-minute documentary video about giants,
06:36
which we linked in the description and comments,
06:38
we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons
06:41
unearthed across North America,
06:43
together with many newspaper articles
06:46
from the late 19th and early 20th century
06:49
suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real
06:52
and coexisted with early humans.
06:55
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States.
06:59
Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
07:02
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere.
07:06
In fact, stories of giants
07:08
permeate human history and tradition.
07:11
The famed explorer Marco Polo
07:14
once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were
07:17
"so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,"
07:21
while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
07:25
once claimed their city's founder was a giant named Antaeus.
07:29
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant's Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.
09:20
In a story popularized in modern times
09:23
by Dan Brown's seminal work The Da Vinci Code,
09:26
this canonization is remembered as happening,
09:29
somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea
09:32
in the 4th century.
09:34
There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine
09:37
and other high-ranking church authorities
09:39
shaped the Christian canon
09:41
to conform to their own secret agenda.
09:43
Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate.
09:47
The Council of Nicea
09:48
did not determine the official Christian canon.
09:52
Don't blame Dan Brown,
09:53
the famed philosopher Voltaire,
09:56
made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
09:59
But while the story may not be factually accurate,
10:02
it is accurate in a sense.
10:04
High ranking members of the church
10:06
certainly did pick and choose what to include
10:09
in the official biblical canon,
10:11
they argued, pulled strings,
10:14
cast their opponents as heretics,
10:16
and almost certainly sought to expand their own power.
10:19
It just didn't take place at a single council,
10:22
but rather, as a much longer process
10:24
between the 1st and 4th centuries.
10:27
It is generally understood
10:28
that by the end of the 4th century,
10:30
the process was complete and the Bible was officially set
10:34
without the Book of Enoch.
10:37
How could something as influential,
10:39
if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out?
10:42
To answer this question, one might examine other gospels
10:46
which were also censored from the final product.
10:49
Consider the Gospel of Peter,
10:51
a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886,
10:54
which tells the long-missing story
10:56
of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb
10:59
and features two gigantic angels
11:01
and a floating cross that talks
11:04
"And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying,
11:07
"'Thou hast preached to them that sleep.'
11:09
"And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'"
11:13
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary,
11:15
that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene
11:18
is named not only as one of Jesus' disciples,
11:21
but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife.
11:24
Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks
11:27
why he and the other disciples
11:29
should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds,
11:33
"If the Savior made her worthy,
11:35
"who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?
11:38
"Surely the Savior knows her full well.
11:41
"That is why he has loved her more than us."
11:44
Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary

s Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.

ThePlainTruth:
11:48 and history-challenging stories. 11:50 Perhaps then, it should be no surprise 11:52 that these texts were censored out 11:55 by early power brokers of the official Christian canon. 11:59 It stands to reason that the Book of Enoch 12:01 may have been totally forgotten 12:03 if not for its survival in small orthodox sects 12:06 of Ethiopian Jews. 12:08 In fact, the only pre-modern version of the text 12:11 was written in Ge'ez, an ancient African language. 12:15 It was this version which Richard Laurence, 12:18 the Archbishop of Cashel, used in 1821 12:21 to produce the first ever English translation of the book, 12:25 the version used to inform study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. 12:29 Curiously, though the Book of Enoch 12:32 was omitted from the established Christian canon 12:34 and subsequently forgotten 12:36 in all but the most obscure corners of religious tradition 12:39 and theological study, 12:41 the Bible does contain numerous references to it. 12:45 There are references to the Nephilim 12:47 in Genesis and Numbers. 12:49 Genesis also contains an extensive recounting 12:52 of Enoch's lineage. 12:54 The Book of Hebrews describes how 12:56 "God had taken Enoch away," 12:59 seemingly a reference to his being taken to heaven 13:02 via fiery chariot before the Great Flood. 13:05 Jude, meanwhile, contains an entire paragraph 13:09 transcribed almost word-for-word from Enoch, 13:12 suggesting that the Book may, in fact, 13:14 have served as an early inspiration 13:16 for canonical biblical texts. 13:19 Further, Corinthians 11:5-6 13:23 contains instructions from St. Paul 13:26 that women should cover their heads while in church. 13:29 This, seemingly a direct reference 13:31 to the fact that the Watchers in the Book of Enoch 13:34 were attracted to women with long flowing hair. 13:37 This is a practice which remains 13:39 in Roman Catholicism and Islam to this day. 13:42 Though it was censored, even forgotten, 13:44 the Book of Enoch never truly disappeared. 13:47 There is something deeper behind the Book of Enoch 13:50 and its incredible stories, 13:52 something which goes beyond simply 13:54 whether or not it is part of the Christian canon. 13:57 It has been pointed out that Enoch, 13:59 the 7th patriarch of the Bible, 14:01 seems to reflect the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna, 14:06 in Babylonian tradition. 14:08 The ancient Greeks believed Enoch 14:10 to be the same as the god Hermes, 14:12 while ancient Egyptians had someone similar 14:14 in their own tradition. 14:16 The examples could continue, and so it must be asked, 14:20 why does Enoch, no matter his name, 14:22 keep appearing in the traditions of the ancients? 14:26 The answer may go back further than the Greeks, 14:29 Egyptians, or even the Babylonians, 14:31 back to the ancient Sumerians. 14:34 According to Sumerian texts, 14:36 earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings 14:39 sometime in the distant past. 14:41 These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition 14:45 in a way that is eerily similar 14:47 to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch. 14:50 Instead of Watchers, however, 14:52 Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki, 14:55 which literally means "those who came from the heavens". 14:59 They were gods, to the Sumerians 15:02 to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sitchin 15:04 and Erich von Däniken, 15:06 they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth. 15:10 Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories 15:12 of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers, 15:15 beginning to interbreed with human beings, 15:18 creating an entirely new species in the process, 15:21 reflecting the creation of the Nephilim. 15:24 Like the gods of the Book of Enoch, 15:26 the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth 15:30 and brought about a great flood. 15:32 Is it possible the Book of Enoch, 15:35 as well as other related traditions, 15:37 are simply retelling the older Sumerian story 15:40 of the Anunnaki? 15:42 Consider the Agricultural Revolution, 15:45 which began around 10,000 BCE, 15:48 during which time human beings transitioned 15:51 from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering 15:53 to one of agriculture and settlement. 15:56 According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE, 16:01 in what is now modern Kurdistan, 16:04 barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated, 16:07 oats, peas, and lentils were being grown, 16:10 while goats and sheep were domesticated. 16:14 Some 500 years after that, 16:16 copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region, 16:20 alongside weaving and pottery making. 16:23 Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture 16:25 was the first to develop a script, 16:27 standing as one of humanity's earliest literate societies. 16:32 Some have asked how human beings 16:34 could have made this jump so fast. 16:36 Interestingly, the Kurdish people 16:39 claim to be the descendants of the "Children of the Djinn" 16:42 the Children of Spirits. 16:44 Is this an ancient cultural reference 16:46 to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women? 16:50 According to the Sumerians, 16:52 it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge 16:55 and technology to human beings, 16:58 lending a helping hand, as it were, 17:00 to the progression of human civilization. 17:03 Many have suggested that this explains 17:05 seemingly impossible monuments 17:07 like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan, 17:10 those ancient monuments of 17:11 "extraordinary sophistication 17:13 "which is completely unexplained by the cultural 17:16 "and social circumstances of historical record." 17:19 Perhaps this also explains how human beings 17:22 were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers 17:25 to sophisticated civilizations 17:27 in a historically insignificant amount of time. 17:31 Incredibly, the Book of Enoch 17:33 describes an almost identical process taking place, 17:36 with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki 17:39 in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology. 17:43 They teach humans metallurgy and mining, 17:46 science and medicine, how to read and write, 17:50 and how to read the stars, 17:52 they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry 17:55 and reveal the secrets of the art of war. 17:59 The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads, 18:03 "And Azazel taught men to make swords 18:05 "and knives and shields and breastplates 18:08 "and made known to them the metals [of the earth] 18:11 "and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments 18:15 "and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids 18:18 "and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. 18:22 "And there arose much godlessness 18:25 "and they committed fornication and they were led astray 18:28 "and became corrupt in all their ways." 18:31 Was the Book of Enoch, in this way, 18:34 merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki? 18:39 It is interesting that the most common example 18:41 given of something "completely unexplained by the cultural 18:44 "and social circumstances of historical record," 18:47 that is to say, something the Anunnaki 18:49 must surely have helped ancient humans with, 18:52 are the Egyptian pyramids. 18:55 According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi, 18:59 these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid, 19:01 who lived before the Great Flood. 19:04 Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch. 19:10 Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch, 19:12 in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to 19:15 "the secrets of the lightnings" 19:17 and "the secrets of the thunder." 19:19 Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to 19:22 illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity. 19:26 Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki, 19:29 who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets 19:32 to human beings through crop circles for some time. 19:36 In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints 19:39 for Free Energy Devices, 19:41 we talked how in only the past few decades, 19:45 crop circles have appeared across the world 19:47 detailing complex mathematical equations, 19:50 magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers 19:54 and the field lines of an electrical charge, 19:57 the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki. 20:01 In fact, consider Enoch's description 20:04 of his journey to meet the gods 20:05 while keeping in mind the UFO sightings 20:08 which often accompany and compliment these crop circles, 20:12 "I was taken to a kind of floating palace," Enoch said. 20:16 "It was huge, like carved glass. 20:19 "The floor had glass plates. 20:21 "Through the floor you could see the stars 20:23 "we were crossing." 20:25 With this in mind, one might wonder 20:27 if the 'fiery chariot' which took Enoch away 20:30 before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft. 20:36 It may seem hard to believe 20:37 that stories as mind-blowing as these, 20:40 of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants, 20:43 stories which permeated ancient cultures 20:45 for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten, 20:49 the Sumerians erased 20:50 from the pantheon of ancient civilizations, 20:53 the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon. 20:57 However, given the way these stories 20:59 fundamentally reshape human history 21:01 and redefine what human beings are 21:03 their exclusion is perhaps no surprise. 21:06 Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased. 21:10 Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve 21:13 and the Garden of Eden. 21:15 Read it not literally, nor philosophically, 21:18 but as an allegory. 21:20 Read it metaphorically. 21:22 God creates Adam to watch over the earth, 21:25 much as the gods send the Watchers to do 21:27 in the Book of Enoch. 21:29 From Adam's rib, god creates Eve, 21:32 Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding 21:36 between the Watchers and human females. 21:39 Adam and Eve are told 21:40 they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden, 21:43 except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 21:47 Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge, 21:50 representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology 21:53 and knowledge to human beings, 21:55 which perhaps they were not 21:56 mentally evolved enough to handle. 21:59 Just as eating from the tree of knowledge 22:01 provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God, 22:04 so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers 22:08 "revealed the eternal secrets 22:10 "which were preserved for heaven, 22:12 "which men were striving to learn." 22:14 Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way, 22:17 it is easy to see the parallels between it 22:20 and the Book of Enoch. 22:21 And perhaps that is just the point. 22:24 Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve 22:27 were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch 22:30 in their own way, 22:31 retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki, 22:35 as so many across religions and cultures had before them, 22:38 inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically 22:42 into their own religious canon, 22:44 so that these ancient records could continue to exist. 22:48 What is human history? 22:51 Is it that which is understood 22:52 through officially sanctioned history books? 22:55 Or is it something deeper, something more incredible, 22:58 if, perhaps, forgotten? 23:00 Maybe the answer has been hiding in plain sight 23:04 the whole time. 23:08 Thank you for watching. 23:09 If you enjoyed the video, please hit the like button 23:12 and if you're new, hit subscribe and the bell next to it 23:16 for future notifications.

00:00
What is human history? 00:02 It is a record of the victors, of power and purpose. 00:06 Evolution, the agricultural revolution, and so on, 00:10
most are at least vaguely familiar with these concepts.
00:14
But what if it is not quite so simple?
00:18
What if the stories of the ancients,
00:20
tales of gods and angels, of giants and disasters,
00:23
are more literal than they might seem upon first glance?
00:28
Look closer, and an alternative history of the human race
00:31
may be revealed.
00:33
One which totally upends conventional knowledge
00:36
and the history of power.
00:38
This is an alternative history
00:40
which has been censored out of human understanding,
00:43
mostly forgotten or ignored.
00:46
Until now.
00:47

02:05
In early 1946, in the region now known as the West Bank,
02:10
a group of Bedouin teenagers
02:12
were tending to their sheep and goats
02:14
near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
02:17
To pass the time, monotonous as it was,
02:20
they threw around the rocks they found
02:22
littered across the rugged desert terrain.
02:25
When one such rock was thrown
02:27
into the dark expanse of a cave,
02:29
the teenagers were surprised to hear a loud shattering noise
02:33
echoing from within.
02:35
Exploring, they found a collection of large clay jars,
02:39
one of which had been broken.
02:41
Though they did not know it at that moment,
02:44
these teenagers had made a historic discovery.
02:47
Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls.
02:50
In the years that followed this discovery,
02:53
archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters
02:56
would find additional scroll fragments
02:59
in 10 other caves in the area,
03:01
their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts
03:06
collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
03:09
Among these manuscripts were large portions
03:12
of a mysterious non-canonical religious text
03:15
which had long been forgotten.
03:17
It was called the Book of Enoch.
03:20
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books,
03:24
The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables,
03:27
The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions,
03:31
and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:49
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:53
In fact, the Book of Enoch provides
03:55
an entirely different recounting of the events
03:58
leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time,
04:01
that is a completely different doctrinal history.
04:05
It tells a story of the Watchers,
04:07
explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels,
04:11
sent to earth to watch over humans
04:13
at some undefined and ancient point in time.
04:17
Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans,
04:20
these Watchers became infatuated by human women,
04:24
and in short order, began to engage
04:26
in depraved sexual acts with them.
04:29
The Book of Enoch tells of the children born
04:32
through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans,
04:35
called the Nephilim.
04:37
These Nephilim were as described,
04:40
"giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,"
04:44
or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."
04:49
Angered with what the Watchers had done,
04:52
those described as gods
04:53
chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth.
04:57
Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
05:01
The Book describes Enoch's journeys between heaven and earth
05:05
in his role as an intermediary,
05:07
how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains
05:11
and the very ends of the earth from above.
05:14
Yet, despite Enoch's intervention,
05:16
the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become
05:20
must be punished.
05:22
Of course, the punishment would be a great flood.
05:25
This flood would destroy the Nephilim
05:27
and cement the Watchers in their prison.
05:30
Beforehand, however,
05:31
Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
05:35
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis,
05:37
which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions,
05:41
references the Nephilim in Chapter six,
05:43
describing "heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
05:48
This is not the only place in biblical canon
05:51
which the Nephilim appear.
05:53
In Numbers 13:32-33,
05:57
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim,
06:00
who are so large
06:01
they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.
06:05
Of course, many things in the Bible
06:07
are seen in modern times as allegorical,
06:09
that is, more philosophical myth than historical record.
06:13
There is archaeological evidence of a great flood
06:16
in the earth's past,
06:17
one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless
06:21
religious and cultural traditions across the world.
06:24
Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?
06:28
Surely there would be similar evidence.
06:31
What if there is?
06:33
In our 30-minute documentary video about giants,
06:36
which we linked in the description and comments,
06:38
we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons
06:41
unearthed across North America,
06:43
together with many newspaper articles
06:46
from the late 19th and early 20th century
06:49
suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real
06:52
and coexisted with early humans.
06:55
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States.
06:59
Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
07:02
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere.
07:06
In fact, stories of giants
07:08
permeate human history and tradition.
07:11
The famed explorer Marco Polo
07:14
once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were
07:17
"so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,"
07:21
while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
07:25
once claimed their city's founder was a giant named Antaeus.
07:29
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant's Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.
09:20
In a story popularized in modern times
09:23
by Dan Brown's seminal work The Da Vinci Code,
09:26
this canonization is remembered as happening,
09:29
somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea
09:32
in the 4th century.
09:34
There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine
09:37
and other high-ranking church authorities
09:39
shaped the Christian canon
09:41
to conform to their own secret agenda.
09:43
Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate.
09:47
The Council of Nicea
09:48
did not determine the official Christian canon.
09:52
Don't blame Dan Brown,
09:53
the famed philosopher Voltaire,
09:56
made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
09:59
But while the story may not be factually accurate,
10:02
it is accurate in a sense.
10:04
High ranking members of the church
10:06
certainly did pick and choose what to include
10:09
in the official biblical canon,
10:11
they argued, pulled strings,
10:14
cast their opponents as heretics,
10:16
and almost certainly sought to expand their own power.
10:19
It just didn't take place at a single council,
10:22
but rather, as a much longer process
10:24
between the 1st and 4th centuries.
10:27
It is generally understood
10:28
that by the end of the 4th century,
10:30
the process was complete and the Bible was officially set
10:34
without the Book of Enoch.
10:37
How could something as influential,
10:39
if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out?
10:42
To answer this question, one might examine other gospels
10:46
which were also censored from the final product.
10:49
Consider the Gospel of Peter,
10:51
a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886,
10:54
which tells the long-missing story
10:56
of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb
10:59
and features two gigantic angels
11:01
and a floating cross that talks
11:04
"And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying,
11:07
"'Thou hast preached to them that sleep.'
11:09
"And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'"
11:13
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary,
11:15
that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene
11:18
is named not only as one of Jesus' disciples,
11:21
but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife.
11:24
Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks
11:27
why he and the other disciples
11:29
should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds,
11:33
"If the Savior made her worthy,
11:35
"who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?
11:38
"Surely the Savior knows her full well.
11:41
"That is why he has loved her more than us."
11:44
Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary

s Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.

02:05
In early 1946, in the region now known as the West Bank,
02:10
a group of Bedouin teenagers
02:12
were tending to their sheep and goats
02:14
near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
02:17
To pass the time, monotonous as it was,
02:20
they threw around the rocks they found
02:22
littered across the rugged desert terrain.
02:25
When one such rock was thrown
02:27
into the dark expanse of a cave,
02:29
the teenagers were surprised to hear a loud shattering noise
02:33
echoing from within.
02:35
Exploring, they found a collection of large clay jars,
02:39
one of which had been broken.
02:41
Though they did not know it at that moment,
02:44
these teenagers had made a historic discovery.
02:47
Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls.
02:50
In the years that followed this discovery,
02:53
archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters
02:56
would find additional scroll fragments
02:59
in 10 other caves in the area,
03:01
their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts
03:06
collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
03:09
Among these manuscripts were large portions
03:12
of a mysterious non-canonical religious text
03:15
which had long been forgotten.
03:17
It was called the Book of Enoch.
03:20
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books,
03:24
The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables,
03:27
The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions,
03:31
and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:49
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:53
In fact, the Book of Enoch provides
03:55
an entirely different recounting of the events
03:58
leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time,
04:01
that is a completely different doctrinal history.
04:05
It tells a story of the Watchers,
04:07
explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels,
04:11
sent to earth to watch over humans
04:13
at some undefined and ancient point in time.
04:17
Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans,
04:20
these Watchers became infatuated by human women,
04:24
and in short order, began to engage
04:26
in depraved sexual acts with them.
04:29
The Book of Enoch tells of the children born
04:32
through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans,
04:35
called the Nephilim.
04:37
These Nephilim were as described,
04:40
"giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,"
04:44
or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."
04:49
Angered with what the Watchers had done,
04:52
those described as gods
04:53
chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth.
04:57
Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
05:01
The Book describes Enoch's journeys between heaven and earth
05:05
in his role as an intermediary,
05:07
how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains
05:11
and the very ends of the earth from above.
05:14
Yet, despite Enoch's intervention,
05:16
the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become
05:20
must be punished.
05:22
Of course, the punishment would be a great flood.
05:25
This flood would destroy the Nephilim
05:27
and cement the Watchers in their prison.
05:30
Beforehand, however,
05:31
Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
05:35
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis,
05:37
which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions,
05:41
references the Nephilim in Chapter six,
05:43
describing "heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
05:48
This is not the only place in biblical canon
05:51
which the Nephilim appear.
05:53
In Numbers 13:32-33,
05:57
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim,
06:00
who are so large
06:01
they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.
06:05
Of course, many things in the Bible
06:07
are seen in modern times as allegorical,
06:09
that is, more philosophical myth than historical record.
06:13
There is archaeological evidence of a great flood
06:16
in the earth's past,
06:17
one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless
06:21
religious and cultural traditions across the world.
06:24
Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?
06:28
Surely there would be similar evidence.
06:31
What if there is?
06:33
In our 30-minute documentary video about giants,
06:36
which we linked in the description and comments,
06:38
we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons
06:41
unearthed across North America,
06:43
together with many newspaper articles
06:46
from the late 19th and early 20th century
06:49
suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real
06:52
and coexisted with early humans.
06:55
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States.
06:59
Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
07:02
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere.
07:06
In fact, stories of giants
07:08
permeate human history and tradition.
07:11
The famed explorer Marco Polo
07:14
once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were
07:17
"so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,"
07:21
while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
07:25
once claimed their city's founder was a giant named Antaeus.
07:29
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant's Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08

08:10

08:12

08:22

08:25

08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.

08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37

08:40

09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.
09:20
In a story popularized in modern times
09:23
by Dan Brown's seminal work The Da Vinci Code,
09:26
this canonization is remembered as happening,
09:29
somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea
09:32
in the 4th century.
09:34
There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine
09:37
and other high-ranking church authorities
09:39
shaped the Christian canon
09:41
to conform to their own secret agenda.
09:43
Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate.
09:47
The Council of Nicea
09:48
did not determine the official Christian canon.
09:52
Don't blame Dan Brown,
09:53
the famed philosopher Voltaire,
09:56
made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
09:59
But while the story may not be factually accurate,
10:02
it is accurate in a sense.

and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:49
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:53
In fact, the Book of Enoch provides
03:55
an entirely different recounting of the events
03:58
leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time,
04:01
that is a completely different doctrinal history.
04:05
It tells a story of the Watchers,
04:07
explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels,
04:11
sent to earth to watch over humans
04:13
at some undefined and ancient point in time.
04:17
Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans,
04:20
these Watchers became infatuated by human women,
04:24
and in short order, began to engage
04:26
in depraved sexual acts with them.
04:29
The Book of Enoch tells of the children born
04:32
through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans,
04:35
called the Nephilim.
04:37
These Nephilim were as described,
04:40
"giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,"
04:44
or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."
04:49
Angered with what the Watchers had done,
04:52
those described as gods
04:53
chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth.
04:57
Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
05:01
The Book describes Enoch's journeys between heaven and earth
05:05
in his role as an intermediary,
05:07
how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains
05:11
and the very ends of the earth from above.
05:14
Yet, despite Enoch's intervention,
05:16
the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become
05:20
must be punished.
05:22
Of course, the punishment would be a great flood.
05:25
This flood would destroy the Nephilim
05:27
and cement the Watchers in their prison.
05:30
Beforehand, however,
05:31
Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
05:35
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis,
05:37
which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions,
05:41
references the Nephilim in Chapter six,
05:43
describing "heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
05:48
This is not the only place in biblical canon
05:51
which the Nephilim appear.
05:53
In Numbers 13:32-33,
05:57
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim,
06:00
who are so large
06:01
they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.
06:05
Of course, many things in the Bible
06:07
are seen in modern times as allegorical,
06:09
that is, more philosophical myth than historical record.
06:13
There is archaeological evidence of a great flood
06:16
in the earth's past,
06:17
one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless
06:21
religious and cultural traditions across the world.
06:24
Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?
06:28
Surely there would be similar evidence.
06:31
What if there is?
06:33
In our 30-minute documentary video about giants,
06:36
which we linked in the description and comments,
06:38
we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons
06:41
unearthed across North America,
06:43
together with many newspaper articles
06:46
from the late 19th and early 20th century
06:49
suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real
06:52
and coexisted with early humans.
06:55
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States.
06:59
Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
07:02
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere.
07:06
In fact, stories of giants
07:08
permeate human history and tradition.
07:11
The famed explorer Marco Polo
07:14
once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were
07:17
"so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,"
07:21
while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
07:25
once claimed their city's founder was a giant named Antaeus.
07:29
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant's Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.
09:20
In a story popularized in modern times
09:23
by Dan Brown's seminal work The Da Vinci Code,
09:26
this canonization is remembered as happening,
09:29
somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea
09:32
in the 4th century.
09:34
There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine
09:37
and other high-ranking church authorities
09:39
shaped the Christian canon
09:41
to conform to their own secret agenda.
09:43
Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate.
09:47
The Council of Nicea
09:48
did not determine the official Christian canon.
09:52
Don't blame Dan Brown,
09:53
the famed philosopher Voltaire,
09:56
made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
09:59
But while the story may not be factually accurate,
10:02
it is accurate in a sense.
10:04
High ranking members of the church
10:06
certainly did pick and choose what to include
10:09
in the official biblical canon,
10:11
they argued, pulled strings,
10:14
cast their opponents as heretics,
10:16
and almost certainly sought to expand their own power.
10:19
It just didn't take place at a single council,
10:22
but rather, as a much longer process
10:24
between the 1st and 4th centuries.
10:27
It is generally understood
10:28
that by the end of the 4th century,
10:30
the process was complete and the Bible was officially set
10:34
without the Book of Enoch.
10:37
How could something as influential,
10:39
if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out?
10:42
To answer this question, one might examine other gospels
10:46
which were also censored from the final product.
10:49
Consider the Gospel of Peter,
10:51
a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886,
10:54
which tells the long-missing story
10:56
of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb
10:59
and features two gigantic angels
11:01
and a floating cross that talks
11:04
"And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying,
11:07
"'Thou hast preached to them that sleep.'
11:09
"And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'"
11:13
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary,
11:15
that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene
11:18
is named not only as one of Jesus' disciples,
11:21
but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife.
11:24
Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks
11:27
why he and the other disciples
11:29
should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds,
11:33
"If the Savior made her worthy,
11:35
"who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?
11:38
"Surely the Savior knows her full well.
11:41
"That is why he has loved her more than us."
11:44
Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary

s Causeway
07:33

07:35

07:39

What is human history? 00:02 It is a record of the victors, of power and purpose. 00:06 Evolution, the agricultural revolution, and so on, 00:10
most are at least vaguely familiar with these concepts.
00:14
But what if it is not quite so simple?
00:18
What if the stories of the ancients,
00:20
tales of gods and angels, of giants and disasters,
00:23
are more literal than they might seem upon first glance?
00:28
Look closer, and an alternative history of the human race
00:31
may be revealed.
00:33
One which totally upends conventional knowledge
00:36
and the history of power.
00:38
This is an alternative history
00:40
which has been censored out of human understanding,
00:43
mostly forgotten or ignored.
00:46
Until now.
00:47
Before we continue, we'd like to thank Express VPN

02:05
In early 1946, in the region now known as the West Bank,
02:10
a group of Bedouin teenagers
02:12
were tending to their sheep and goats
02:14
near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
02:17
To pass the time, monotonous as it was,
02:20
they threw around the rocks they found
02:22
littered across the rugged desert terrain.
02:25
When one such rock was thrown
02:27
into the dark expanse of a cave,
02:29
the teenagers were surprised to hear a loud shattering noise
02:33
echoing from within.
02:35
Exploring, they found a collection of large clay jars,
02:39
one of which had been broken.
02:41
Though they did not know it at that moment,
02:44
these teenagers had made a historic discovery.
02:47
Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls.
02:50
In the years that followed this discovery,
02:53
archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters
02:56
would find additional scroll fragments
02:59
in 10 other caves in the area,
03:01
their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts
03:06
collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
03:09
Among these manuscripts were large portions
03:12
of a mysterious non-canonical religious text
03:15
which had long been forgotten.
03:17
It was called the Book of Enoch.
03:20
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books,
03:24
The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables,
03:27
The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions,
03:31
and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.

which tells the long-missing story
10:56
of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb
10:59
and features two gigantic angels
11:01
and a floating cross that talks
11:04
"And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying,
11:07
"'Thou hast preached to them that sleep.'
11:09
"And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'"
11:13
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary,
11:15
that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene
11:18
is named not only as one of Jesus' disciples,
11:21
but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife.
11:24
Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks
11:27
why he and the other disciples
11:29
should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds,
11:33
"If the Savior made her worthy,
11:35
"who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?
11:38
"Surely the Savior knows her full well.
11:41
"That is why he has loved her more than us."
11:44
Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary

s Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08
It is interesting to note that for centuries,
08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51
Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts
08:55
which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition.
08:58
As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus,
09:01
the burgeoning Christian church needed to know
09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.

What is human history? 00:02 It is a record of the victors, of power and purpose. 00:06 Evolution, the agricultural revolution, and so on, 00:10
most are at least vaguely familiar with these concepts.
00:14
But what if it is not quite so simple?
00:18
What if the stories of the ancients,
00:20
tales of gods and angels, of giants and disasters,
00:23
are more literal than they might seem upon first glance?
00:28
Look closer, and an alternative history of the human race
00:31
may be revealed.
00:33
One which totally upends conventional knowledge
00:36
and the history of power.
00:38
This is an alternative history
00:40
which has been censored out of human understanding,
00:43
mostly forgotten or ignored.
00:46
Until now.

02:05
In early 1946, in the region now known as the West Bank,
02:10
a group of Bedouin teenagers
02:12
were tending to their sheep and goats
02:14
near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
02:17
To pass the time, monotonous as it was,
02:20
they threw around the rocks they found
02:22
littered across the rugged desert terrain.
02:25
When one such rock was thrown
02:27
into the dark expanse of a cave,
02:29
the teenagers were surprised to hear a loud shattering noise
02:33
echoing from within.
02:35
Exploring, they found a collection of large clay jars,
02:39
one of which had been broken.
02:41
Though they did not know it at that moment,
02:44
these teenagers had made a historic discovery.
02:47
Inside the jars were a series of ancient scrolls.
02:50
In the years that followed this discovery,
02:53
archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters
02:56
would find additional scroll fragments
02:59
in 10 other caves in the area,
03:01
their composition forming some 800 to 900 manuscripts
03:06
collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
03:09
Among these manuscripts were large portions
03:12
of a mysterious non-canonical religious text
03:15
which had long been forgotten.
03:17
It was called the Book of Enoch.
03:20
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books,
03:24
The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables,
03:27
The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions,
03:31
and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters.
03:36
These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch
03:39
in the Book of Genesis,
03:41
Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah,
03:45
the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:49
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
03:53
In fact, the Book of Enoch provides
03:55
an entirely different recounting of the events
03:58
leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time,
04:01
that is a completely different doctrinal history.
04:05
It tells a story of the Watchers,
04:07
explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels,
04:11
sent to earth to watch over humans
04:13
at some undefined and ancient point in time.
04:17
Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans,
04:20
these Watchers became infatuated by human women,
04:24
and in short order, began to engage
04:26
in depraved sexual acts with them.
04:29
The Book of Enoch tells of the children born
04:32
through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans,
04:35
called the Nephilim.
04:37
These Nephilim were as described,
04:40
"giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,"
04:44
or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."
04:49
Angered with what the Watchers had done,
04:52
those described as gods
04:53
chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth.
04:57
Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
05:01
The Book describes Enoch's journeys between heaven and earth
05:05
in his role as an intermediary,
05:07
how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains
05:11
and the very ends of the earth from above.
05:14
Yet, despite Enoch's intervention,
05:16
the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become
05:20
must be punished.
05:22
Of course, the punishment would be a great flood.
05:25
This flood would destroy the Nephilim
05:27
and cement the Watchers in their prison.
05:30
Beforehand, however,
05:31
Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot.
05:35
Interestingly, the Book of Genesis,
05:37
which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions,
05:41
references the Nephilim in Chapter six,
05:43
describing "heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
05:48
This is not the only place in biblical canon
05:51
which the Nephilim appear.
05:53
In Numbers 13:32-33,
05:57
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim,
06:00
who are so large
06:01
they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.
06:05
Of course, many things in the Bible
06:07
are seen in modern times as allegorical,
06:09
that is, more philosophical myth than historical record.
06:13
There is archaeological evidence of a great flood
06:16
in the earth's past,
06:17
one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless
06:21
religious and cultural traditions across the world.
06:24
Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?
06:28
Surely there would be similar evidence.
06:31
What if there is?
06:33
In our 30-minute documentary video about giants,
06:36
which we linked in the description and comments,
06:38
we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons
06:41
unearthed across North America,
06:43
together with many newspaper articles
06:46
from the late 19th and early 20th century
06:49
suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real
06:52
and coexisted with early humans.
06:55
This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States.
06:59
Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
07:02
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere.
07:06
In fact, stories of giants
07:08
permeate human history and tradition.
07:11
The famed explorer Marco Polo
07:14
once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were
07:17
"so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men,"
07:21
while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
07:25
once claimed their city's founder was a giant named Antaeus.
07:29
According to Irish myth, the so-called Giant's Causeway
07:33
off the northeast coast of Ireland,
07:35
an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
07:39
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool
07:42
so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland
07:45
to fight another giant.
07:47
Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends
07:51
and ancient Greek mythology.
07:53
Perhaps if giants did exist,
07:55
as these records across countless cultures suggest,
07:58
then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical
08:01
than it might originally appear,
08:03
less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history.
08:08

08:10
the Book of Enoch was an important part
08:12
of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
08:16
Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture.
08:20
Further, some have even suggested
08:22
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration
08:25
for the Book of Genesis,
08:26
due to their many parallels and overlapping stories.
08:30
The question is thus, what happened?
08:33
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?
08:37
To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries
08:40
after the death of Jesus Christ.
08:43
Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament
08:46
and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today.
08:51

08:55

08:58

09:01

09:04
which texts should be read and followed,
09:07
which teachings should be applied,
09:09
which texts would be deemed as acceptable
09:11
and divinely inspired.
09:13
The church needed, out of diversity,
09:16
to create uniformity, they needed an official canon.
09:20
In a story popularized in modern times
09:23
by Dan Brown's seminal work The Da Vinci Code,
09:26
this canonization is remembered as happening,
09:29
somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea
09:32
in the 4th century.
09:34
There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine
09:37
and other high-ranking church authorities
09:39
shaped the Christian canon
09:41
to conform to their own secret agenda.
09:43
Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate.
09:47
The Council of Nicea
09:48
did not determine the official Christian canon.
09:52
Don't blame Dan Brown,
09:53
the famed philosopher Voltaire,
09:56
made a similar assertion in the 1700s.
09:59
But while the story may not be factually accurate,
10:02
it is accurate in a sense.
10:04
High ranking members of the church
10:06
certainly did pick and choose what to include
10:09
in the official biblical canon,
10:11
they argued, pulled strings,
10:14
cast their opponents as heretics,
10:16
and almost certainly sought to expand their own power.
10:19
It just didn't take place at a single council,
10:22
but rather, as a much longer process
10:24
between the 1st and 4th centuries.
10:27
It is generally understood
10:28
that by the end of the 4th century,
10:30
the process was complete and the Bible was officially set
10:34
without the Book of Enoch.
10:37
How could something as influential,
10:39
if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out?
10:42
To answer this question, one might examine other gospels
10:46
which were also censored from the final product.
10:49
Consider the Gospel of Peter,
10:51
a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886,
10:54
which tells the long-missing story
10:56
of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb
10:59
and features two gigantic angels
11:01
and a floating cross that talks
11:04
"And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying,
11:07
"'Thou hast preached to them that sleep.'
11:09
"And a response was heard from the cross, 'Yea.'"
11:13
Or, consider the Gospel of Mary,
11:15
that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene
11:18
is named not only as one of Jesus' disciples,
11:21
but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife.
11:24
Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks
11:27
why he and the other disciples
11:29
should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds,
11:33
"If the Savior made her worthy,
11:35
"who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?
11:38
"Surely the Savior knows her full well.
11:41
"That is why he has loved her more than us."
