That's a fair question. The conspiracy is that it has been suppressed, but who knows? Depending on the environment, bones can last for decades or longer. Under ideal conditions, they could last centuries, but even bones don't last forever. Foziliation is even more rare. Of all the dinosaurs that have ever lived, only a small fraction have been fossilized. Another factor is that we don't know how many giants there were or how widespread they were; this could also make finding their remains more difficult.




Reversing Hermon by Mike S. Heiser is an interesting read. The first-century Jews were well aware of the Book of Enoch, and it had quite an impact on their theology. Jude and 2 Peter quote directly from it, but its influence can be found all throughout the New Testament if you do a deep dive into it. I don't consider it to be divinely inspired, but it is useful as commentary.
Giants came in different sizes, some much larger. Common sized giants up to 6 meters, others maybe 100 foot like as tall trees. And how else could those 1200 ton stone blocks and Obelisks be quarried and lifted up without breaking under their own weight.
Baalbek stones were also massive, but several large giants could have moved and placed them and honestly archaeologists have no idea how people did that.

Book of Enoch was familiar to the early apostles, and they used quotes from it in the scriptures, meaning they believed it to be inspired at least in part or they would not have quoted those prophecies in their letters to the churches. And the churches also would have not accepted such quotes from the book as scripture if those early church people did not believe the same as the apostles. Which mean the early church believed some of it inspired by God. That is my thinking. Reason it was not part of scriptural canon is the entire work's provenance is unproven, it's origin cannot be established with enough certainty. So, it is an apocryphal work like many other books not included. It is however an interesting read.

Of interest is that the stone of the pregnant woman is still attached to the other quarried stone.
There are 3 stone blocks but actually are just 2 blocks been excavated. Known as the Stone of the Pregnant Woman, the Stone of the South and the Forgotten Stone. Maybe there are more still buried.
Not being a separated stone means both stones would have been moved as one block from the quarry, so 1200 tons and 1500 tons means almost 3000 tons to move. It just got a lot more impossible to move and lift. Or just not finished being cut free,
at 14 minutes in He says he was unaware of this, until after his idea of the Romans moving the stones, so that now also has to be figured into what happened. I still think this base preexisted Romans times and they built on top their Jupiter temple.

His point about small amount of weathering meaning a less ancient origin, still might not be true as these were buried after not being finished. And no they did not fall over while being moved as he said in the other video, since they are still one stone.
Picture shows the pregnant women stone still attached to the underlying Forgotten larger stone. A lot we don't know yet.

Conclusion here is Not Roman, the platform preceding long before and was never finished.
Romans would not have begun construction of the base and not finished it.
Romans came later and used it for their Jupiter Temple placed on top.

If they had one, they would never tell us.
DNA studies to try to make super soldiers? 'Captain America'
Maybe they will make them cyborgs, lol. What, with all this AI stuff...I bet they are showing the public their prototypes from a long time ago. I've a strong sense that they are much further along than what is allowed to know.
JMO :)

My friend who served in Afghanistan was told about this or something similar by a spec ops solder he met over there. Anyone else concerned with what our government could do with a Nepahlim's dead body?
Absolutely. They use the DNA to do all sorts of things .... create things in labs, for instance. Who knows if they may use it in experimental things such as injections? Our government has conducted hideous crimes and experiments on the citizens on America for decades.

To me it makes a full sense.

They wander arid placed looking for a body . . . why? Because they used to have one.

I think what really got me connected to this idea were words studies of "mooth" dead, and "rapha", something not quite the same, in the OT.

Much love!
And have you also noticed that there is zero mention of evil spirits until after the flood?

The fact that there is no marriage among angels does not necessarily mean there is no gender and no procreation. Angels do not marry, but we can’t make the leap from “no marriage” to “no gender” or “no reproduction,” however logical such a leap would seem.
I believe along these lines, since I honestly can't see any other option.
•If there are only male angels, and we become as the angels in eternity ....then all us women will suddenly become male?? I don't think so. lol
•Considering that in the Garden of Eden, before the fall and before sin entered, there was no marriage or giving in marriage. Adam knew his wife, Eve, and the two became one. Jesus was most likely saying that in heaven/eternity, there will be no need for a marriage/wedding for two to become one.


**Do we think that God's intentions for a perfect heavens and earth ended at the fall? In the beginning, He instructed Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth. I believe that God is a God of increase and that His kingdom will keep on growing throughout eternity. God has no limits.

Isaiah 9:7
[7]Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.


The word translated "government" means "empire" in the original Hebrew. When something increases, it is growing. This scripture indicates that His empire will never stop increasing. Think about it.

Daniel 2
31 “You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. 32 This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and [k]thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of [l]clay. 34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Well giants sure is an interesting topic. But the real question I have is why haven't they found any skeletons?
They have.

Can you elaborate on this?
Whomever wrote the book of Enoch wrote that the sun rose in the east and descended into the west, where it entered a portal which returned it to the east by way of the north. And they described a similar pattern for the wind, that it would blow across the earth, then enter a portal by which it would return from whence it came, to blow again upon the earth.

Much love!

Ahh, I see. Thank you for explaining.
