Produktbeschreibung
For millennia, a shadow has loomed across the world's oldest stories-a shadow of giants, fallen angels, and hybrid rulers who blurred the boundary between heaven and earth. From the cryptic verses of Genesis 6 to the sweeping visions of the Book of Enoch, from Mesopotamia's semi-divine kings to Egypt's god-born pharaohs, the memory of the Nephilim lingers like a forbidden truth. Who were these beings of immense power and renown? Were they heroes, tyrants, or abominations destined for destruction?This book follows the trail of the Nephilim across cultures and centuries, weaving together Scripture, apocryphal writings, archaeology, and myth. You will encounter the Watchers-angels who descended in rebellion, imparting forbidden knowledge to humanity. You will walk with Gilgamesh, two-thirds god and one-third man, whose quest for immortality mirrors the hybrid struggle. You will confront Nimrod, the mighty hunter who defied heaven and built empires in the shadow of Babel. From Canaan's Anakim to the Egyptian dynasties, from megalithic monuments to demon-haunted traditions, the legacy of the Nephilim reveals a world where divine transgression reshaped human history.With a sweeping scope and a scholar's eye for detail, this book uncovers how the Nephilim became more than giants of flesh-they became giants of memory, haunting the imagination of Israel, Christianity, and countless civilizations. They were fallen, mighty, and renowned-symbols of chaos and ambition, reminders of cosmic boundaries, and the key to understanding why ancient peoples feared, revered, and remembered them. Whether you are drawn to theology, ancient history, or the mysteries that lie between myth and memory, this book will open the door to one of humanity's most enduring enigmas.
