Malta: I Crani della Dea Madre
a cura di Vittorio di Cesare e Adriano Forgione

Nel tempio megalitico di Hal Saflieni, a Malta, erano sepolti uomini dal volume cranica straordinario. Questi crani sembrano appartenere ad uno strano ceppo umano e, se analizzati a dovere, potrebbero creare un ponte ideale tra le antiche culture mesopotamiche ed egizie con una razza di uomini sacerdoti identificati con il serpente.



Ritorniamo da Malta dopo un soggiorno al seguito della troupe televisiva di Maurizia Giusti, la simpatica Syusy Blady di "Turisti per caso".

Abbiamo ripercorso insieme le tracce di una storia antica che prendeva origine dalla presenza sull'isola di templi megalitici dedicati alla Dea Madre, figura taumaturgica adorata nella preistoria di quest'isola diventata, nel tempo, un importante centro di culto. Le riprese ci davano la possibilità di risolvere un mistero dagli interessanti risvolti.

Si sapeva che fino al 1985 alcuni crani, ritrovati in alcuni templi preistorici di Malta a Taxien, Ggantja e Hal Saflieni, erano esposti nel Museo Archeologico della Valletta. Da qualche anno a questa parte però erano stati rimossi e messi in deposito. Da allora non erano più visibili al pubblico. Rimanevano quelle fotografie, scattate dal ricercatore maltese dott. Anton Mifsud, e dal collega dott. Charles Savona Ventura, foto che se da una parte provavano l'esistenza dei crani, dall'altra ci mostravano…la loro anormalità. Alcuni libri scritti dai due medici maltesi, che fin dal primo giorno del nostro soggiorno a Malta gentilmente ci fornivano le documentazioni necessarie per le nostre ricerche, mostrano infatti una collezione di teschi con anomalie e/o patologie strane.

Linee di saldatura craniche a volte inesistenti, pareti temporali sviluppate anormalmente, occipiti trapanati e rigonfi come in seguito a traumi rientrati, ma soprattutto, un cranio dalla strana forma allungata, più grande e più strano degli altri, privo della saldatura mediana.

La presenza di quel reperto lascia pensare a diverse ipotesi, tutte percorribili. La similitudine con altri crani simili, dall'Egitto al Sudamerica, la deformazione particolare, unica nel panorama delle patologie mediche riferite a periodi così lontani nel tempo, (stiamo parlando di 3000 anni circa prima di Cristo) potrebbero essere una scoperta eccezionale. Quel teschio era frutto di una mutazione genetica antica tra razze diverse che avevano abitato l'isola?


I crani dolicocefali

La richiesta alla direzione del museo dagli organizzatori del programma per vedere e fotografare quei reperti, sarebbe certo naufragata miseramente se, durante una conferenza stampa in onore degli ospiti (Maurizia Giusti e noi di HERA naturalmente) voluta dal dottor Robert Zammit, dell'Ente Provinciale Turismo di Malta, non fossimo riusciti a suscitare l'interesse del ministro del turismo Michael Refalo, il quale, a fine conferenza, ci accompagnava personalmente e a passo di carica, nel vicino museo strappando al direttore la promessa di tirar fuori quei misteriosi crani, conservati lontano dalla vista di curiosi e ricercatori da circa 15 anni.

Un paio di giorni dopo, infatti, guidati dagli stessi responsabili del museo, veniamo accolti in una zona riservata e chiusa al pubblico dove gli straordinari reperti erano stati portati per l'occasione lì, dinanzi ai nostri occhi sotto il controllo e la gentile disponibilità dell'archeologo del Museo della Valletta, Mark Anthony Mifsud, quasi omonimo del precedente ricercatore. I crani erano stati tutti trovati nell'ipogeo di Hal Saflieni, luogo dove vi era un pozzo sacro dedicato alla Grande Madre e dove venne trovata anche la piccola statua di una Dea dormiente associata ad un reperto con sopra inciso un serpente. I crani vennero tirati fuori uno alla volta dal box che li conteneva.

Tra questi, tutti davvero interessanti, c'era quello che cercavamo. Il cranio mostrava una dolicocefalia molto pronunciata, cioè un allungamento della parte posteriore della calotta cranica, oltre alla mancanza della sutura mediana, tecnicamente chiamata "sagittale". Quest'ultimo particolare è stato considerato "impossibile" da medici e anatomisti ai quali ci siamo rivolti, mancando (fino a prova contraria) analoghi casi patologici nella letteratura medica internazionale.

Si tratta di una caratteristica che rafforza l'anomalia di questo reperto e che ebbe il risultato di provocare un allungamento naturale del cranio nella zona occipitale (non dovuto quindi a bende o tavole impiegate nelle civiltà pre-colombiane). Crediamo che il ritrovamento di questo cranio e dei suoi simili ad Hal Saflieni non sia casuale.


I sacerdoti della Dea

Malta e Gozo sono state fin dalla preistoria centri di grande importanza, luoghi nei quali si effettuavano "cure mediche", oracoli e incontri rituali con i sacerdoti della Dea. Su entrambe le isole esistevano parecchi di questi santuari, centri taumaturgici, dove la Dea guaritrice, era attorniata da sacerdoti espressione diretta della divinità.

È risaputo che il serpente nell'antichità era associato alla Dea e alle capacità di taumaturgia o guarigione. Il serpente era inoltre un animale ctonio, cioè appartenente al mondo sotterraneo. Pertanto un ipogeo dedicato alla Dea e al culto delle acque era il posto giusto per una gruppo sacerdotale che veniva definito in tutte le culture più antiche come i "sacerdoti serpente" (un epiteto ancora usato per gli sciamani - cfr. pagina 24).

Forse quei crani trovati nell'ipogeo ed esaminati durante la nostra visita a Malta, appartenevano proprio a questi sacerdoti. Come abbiamo già detto presentavano un'accentuata dolicocefalia, in particolare quello al centro della nostra analisi. La sua testa allungata e i lineamenti tirati dovevano donargli aspetto serpentiforme tendendogli gli occhi e la pelle. Mancando la parte inferiore del reperto, possiamo solo speculare, ma quanto ipotizzato non deve essere lontano dalla realtà, una realtà peggiorata dal fatto che quella deformità gli creò certamente un problema di Deambulazione, costringendolo, visti i tempi, a…strisciare!

La mancanza della sutura mediana del cranio, e quindi l'impossibilità del cervello di espandersi uniformemente e radialmente nella teca cranica, fece sì che questo si sviluppasse nella zona occipitale del cervelletto, deformandone il cranio che si presentava quindi come un'unica calotta tra la zona frontale e occipitale. Ciò causò quasi certamente a quell'uomo dolori terribili fin dall'infanzia, ma probabilmente gli donava anche visioni che venivano considerate simbolo di legame con la Dea.




Un'altra razza

Anche gli altri crani esaminati presentavano strane anomalie. Alcuni di questi erano più naturali e armonici rispetto al cranio oggetto della nostra attenzione, ma presentavano comunque una pronunciata dolicocefalia naturale, quindi si può, senza timore di smentita, trattarsi della caratteristica distintiva di una vera e propria razza, diversa rispetto alle popolazioni autoctone di Malta e Gozo.

Una considerazione confermataci dagli stessi archeologi maltesi Anthony Buonanno e Mark Anthony Mifsud che alle nostre domande hanno risposto: "sono un'altra razza ma non sono stati eseguiti esami al C-14 o del DNA. Forse si tratta di individui provenienti dalla Sicilia".

Discuteremo più avanti questo particolare. Intanto vale la pena sottolineare che uno di questi crani presentava segni inequivocabili di interventi chirurgici nella zona occipitale. I bordi di tre piccoli fori passanti, praticati nell'osso occipitale detto inion, ebbero il tempo di cicatrizzarsi, quindi il paziente sopravvisse all'operazione nonostante la lesione quasi certamente intaccò anche in questo caso le sue facoltà motorie.

Ma c'è dell'altro. Buona parte dei 7000 scheletri scavati nell'ipogeo di Hal Saflieni ed esaminati da Themistocles Zammit nel 1921, presentano deformazioni praticate artificialmente. Uno scheletro del gruppo scavato dall'archeologo Brochtorff Circle, mostra chiari segni di deformazione intenzionale con legami. Le deformazioni avvenivano per diversi motivi: iniziazioni, matrimoni, riti solari o punizioni per crimini sociali e trasgressioni.

Tutto l'apparato tribale di incisioni, perforazioni, rimozioni parziali o totali, cauterizzazioni, abrasioni, inserzioni di corpi estranei nei muscoli, come la modificazione dei corpi per scopi magici, medici o cosmetici, faceva parte di pratiche crudeli di per sé ma a "fin di bene" per la comunità.

Perché questo accanimento nel martoriare il proprio corpo? Esisteva una qualche relazione tra i riti tribali e gli uomini dai teschi allungati? È possibile che, come accaduto per altre culture, le popolazioni successive tendessero a deformare i crani degli infanti per renderli simili a questa razza di "sacerdoti-serpente".

A Malta tutto questo era praticato da un misterioso popolo che innalzava templi giganteschi alla Dea Madre tra il 4100 e il 2500 a.C. La presenza di questi crani potrebbe essere quella degli ultimi esponenti della più antica classe sacerdotale dei templi megalitici che, mai mescolatasi con le popolazioni del luogo, avrebbe continuato a riprodursi nei millenni attraverso unioni familiari (come normalmente accadeva in passato tra le élite) e, di conseguenza, impoverito a tal punto il suo patrimonio genetico fino a manifestare inevitabili patologie, sarebbe scomparsa.


Le origini

I crani da noi analizzati sono datati al 2.500 a.C. (ma potrebbero essere anche più antichi) una data in cui la storia megalitica di Malta si ferma, iniziando un periodo di buio storico e assenza di popolazione che durerà circa 300 anni, sino all'arrivo dei Fenici.

Questi inizieranno a fare di Malta un loro avamposto nel Mediterraneo. Anche i Fenici erigeranno a Malta templi alla Dea Madre, da loro considerata Astarte, la Dea dal volto di serpente.

Ancora una volta ci troviamo di fronte alla rappresentazione di una Dea associata al serpente e al potere di guarigione, quasi che i Fenici avessero voluto continuare una tradizione interrotta. Ma è la data del 2500 a.C. che presenta una chiave di lettura fondamentale per capire chi fossero questi individui dal cranio allungato e per usarla dobbiamo spostarci da Malta nel vicino Egitto.

Il professor Walter. B. Emery, (1903-1971) noto egittologo che scavò a Saqqara negli anni '30 e autore del saggio Archaic Egypt, trovò proprio a Saqqara i resti di individui vissuti in epoca pre-dinastica, dal cranio dolicocefalo e più grande rispetto a quello dell'etnia locale, i capelli chiari, la corporatura più robusta e un'altezza superiore. Emery dichiarò che questo ceppo non era originario dell'Egitto ma aveva svolto in questo paese un ruolo sacerdotale e governativo di prim'ordine. Un ceppo tenutosi a distanza dalla gente comune, unitosi solo con le classi aristocratiche e che lo studioso associava agli Shemsu Hor, i "Seguaci di Horus".

Gli Shemsu Hor sono riconosciuti quali classe sacerdotale dominante in Egitto in epoca predinastica (fino al 3000 a.C. circa), essendo menzionati nel papiro di Torino e nelle liste dei re di Abydos. È interessante notare che lo stesso Emery scrive: "verso la fine del IV millennio a.C. il popolo noto come "Seguaci di Horus" ci appare come un'aristocrazia altamente dominante che governava l'intero Egitto.

La teoria dell'esistenza di questa razza è confortata dalla scoperta nelle tombe del periodo pre-dinastico, nella parte settentrionale dell'Alto Egitto, dei resti anatomici di individui con un cranio e una corporatura di dimensioni maggiori rispetto agli indigeni, con differenze talmente marcate da rendere impossibile ogni ipotesi di un comune ceppo razziale.

La fusione delle due razze dev'essere avvenuta in tempi tali da essere più o meno compiuta al momento dell'Unificazione dei due regni d'Egitto". Insomma, quanto accaduto a Malta trova specchio in Egitto. È una corrispondenza interessante che in Egitto gli Shemsu Hor garantissero il rispetto di una religione solare e a Malta ancora oggi il sole sia chiamato "Shem-shi". "Shem" è una parola di origine "accadica" e non egizia, derivante dal termine babilonese per Sole cioè "Shamash". Questo prova che gli Shemsu Hor provenivano dalla zona della mezzaluna fertile.

Un'ennesima corrispondenza è il fatto che questo ceppo sacerdotale dal cranio lungo scompaia in Egitto come a Malta nello stesso periodo, cioè tra il 3000 e il 2500 a.C. Chi scrive è però convinto che un terzo nucleo fosse presente nella zona dell'Eufrate, essendo divenuto parte di quel ceppo ariano conosciuto come Mitanni, chiamati dagli egizi "Naharin", cioè "Quelli del Serpente" (da Nahash, serpente). Ai Mitanni, che occuparono una zona del Kurdistan, appartenne anche Abramo (cfr. HERA 15 pag. 26), la cui descrizione è analoga a quella degli Shemsu Hor fatta da Emery (capelli chiari e corporatura robusta).

La tradizione dei "sacerdoti serpente" (cfr. HERA 13 e 14) ha il luogo d'origine in Medioriente, con il centro principale proprio in Kurdistan, dove intorno al 5000 a.C. la cultura matriarcale di Jarmo rappresentava le dee madri come divinità dal volto di vipera e dal cranio allungato.

Queste divinità successivamente verranno associate agli "angeli caduti" o Nephilim, la cui citazione più esplicita è rintracciabile nel "Testamento di Amran" dei rotoli di Qumran (cfr. HERA n° 6 pag.52) in cui si legge: "Uno di loro era d'aspetto terrificante, come un serpente e il suo manto era variopinto" e ancora "il suo volto era come una vipera e indossava tutti i suoi occhi". Si tratta, secondo chi scrive, non di divinità in senso stretto ma di individui in veste sacerdotale o sciamanica, appartenenti ad una cultura altamente sviluppata e profondamente saggia che ebbe rapporti con le società meno organizzate dell'epoca. I suoi membri vennero considerati "semi-dei", per la conoscenza da loro posseduta, proprio come avvenuto in Egitto per gli "Shemsu Hor".

Analoghe statuine di dee madri dal volto di vipera si trovano infatti anche nella terra del Nilo, risalenti esattamente al periodo arcaico degli Shemsu Hor. Si può concludere che questi sacerdoti serpente furono il cui ceppo più antico che occupò inizialmente la mezzaluna fertile (in particolare Anatolia e Kurdistan), e l'Egitto (successivamente a migrazioni risalenti al 6000/4000 a.C. - cfr. HERA pag.10), sino ad arrivare all'isola di Malta per poi sparire introno al 2.500 a.C. Ma in Medioriente questa cultura sopravvisse e probabilmente ne fece parte uno dei più noti ed allo stesso tempo misteriosi faraoni d'Egitto. Si tratta dei citati Mitanni e del faraone Akhenaton.

Il perché Akhenaton fosse legato ai Mitanni sarà oggetto di un altro articolo ma il modo con cui si fece ritrarre in statue e bassorilievi (e con lui, l'intera famiglia reale) è proprio quello di un individuo dal cranio allungato e un volto umano dalle fattezze di serpente, caratteristiche riscontrate nel ceppo pre-dinastico egizio menzionato da Emery oltre che essere la precisa rappresentazione delle fattezze dei Nephilim e probabilmente degli individui dal cranio allungato di Malta. Il cranio delle statue della dinastia amarniana e i crani di Malta risultano infatti pressoché identici, un fatto non casuale e provato anche dalle radiografie della testa di Tuthankamon, figlio di Akhenaton, che hanno presentato un cranio dolicocefalico.



In sostanza i crani di Malta sono le reliquie, archeologicamente ancora incomprese, di un ceppo sacerdotale che, in Egitto e a Malta, da epoche arcaiche arrivò sino al 2.500 a.C. È il gruppo che creò quel substrato religioso e spirituale che caratterizzò le più grandi civiltà del vecchio Mondo, a partire da tempi lontani, (il 6000 a.C. e forse persino oltre). Questo gruppo continuò a sopravvivere in Medioriente e in qualche modo si rifece vivo in Egitto intorno al 1351 a.C. dando vita, attraverso il faraone eretico Akhenaton, ad una riforma religiosa che mirava a restaurare l'antico ordine. Se si accetta l'ipotesi che questo faraone fosse legato in qualche modo alla figura di Mosé, allora il resto è storia nota.

Gli dèi Anunnaki avevano il totale ed incondizionato potere decisionale su tutti gli Homo Sapiens di qualunque livello sociale, che vivesse fuori dalle basi Anunnaki, o che fosse il gestore, il re di una città.

“Nell'epopea di Gilgamesh“, spiega lo psicologo statunitense Neil Freer, “c'è un’eccellente illustrazione di una caratteristica della nostra iniziale psicologia: l'attitudine degli antichi verso l’immortalità. Gilgamesh reclamava l’immortalità sulla base del fatto che la madre fosse una dea (suo padre era un re umano). Ciò dimostra che esisteva una completa conoscenza delle nostre origini, una precisa relazione fra l’Uomo ed i Nefilim, le regole dell’ereditarietà e della successione che erano una parte così importante della loro cultura, il fatto che un importante sovrano come Gilgamesh era ancora in totale balia degli dèi e che doveva mendicare per ottenere ciò che cercava, e che l’immortalità poteva essere concessa ad un umano solo se i Nefilim avessero voluto“

Se il consiglio dei Dodici Grandi Dèi, poneva un limite ben preciso al futuro dell’Homo Sapiens, uno di loro, Ea, il primogenito di Anu, si era adoperato per modificare tale divieto così da permettere all’Homo Sapiens di conoscere la sua vera origine e di ricevere piano piano molte delle conoscenze. Questo generò un profondo conflitto con suo fratello, Enlil. Avvenne quindi chechi aveva ideato e diretto le manipolazioni genetiche con cui gli Anunnaki avevano implementato l’Homo Erectus fino a farlo assomigliare a loro almeno fisicamente e chi aveva salvato l’umanità dalla distruzione totale, avvertendo uno dei suoi figli, Ziusudra (o Utnapitshim) dell’arrivo del diluvio, divenne improvvisamente il nemico dell’umanità.

Gli ebrei infatti erano legati al gruppo guidato da Yahweh (forse Enlil?). Uno degli aspetti più evidenti del rapporto tra gli dèi e l’Homo Sapiens, consisteva nell’assoluta obbedienza che quest’ultimo doveva avere nei confronti degli dèi.

Ne è dimostrazione la spiegazione del concetto di circoncisione così stabilito inizialmente da Enlil. Dopo aver effettuato con successo la prima manipolazione genetica, i tre Anunnaki, Ninmah, Ea/Enki e Ningishzidda, si resero conto che il neonato era simile ai bambini Anunnaki, con la stessa pelle liscia, ma di colore rosso sangue ed i capelli neri, mentre gli Anunnaki hanno pelle bianca, occhi chiari e capelli biondi.

Inoltre, come vera e propria diversità, il piccolo aveva la pelle tutta intorno al pene, mentre gli Anunnaki non ne avevano. Allo scopo di mettere in evidenza una vera e propria differente caratteristica tra gli Anunnaki e l’Homo Sapiens, decisero di lasciare per sempre tale diversità.

Intorno a 4.000 anni fa, Abramo, all’età di 80 anni, venne designato da Yahweh di proteggere lo spazio-porto degli Anunnaki nel Sinai durante la “Guerra dei Re“. L’accordo con il dio prevedeva inoltre che ai discendenti di Abramo sarebbe stata concessa la terra fra la “Brook of Egypt “ (un ruscello nel Sinai) ed il fiume Eufrate, nel Nord della Mesopotamia, così che i figli di Israele avrebbero dovuto essere i custodi dei due luoghi utilizzati dagli dèi per atterrare e partire dalla Terra, Baalbek e la piattaforma sul Monte Moriah a Gerusalemme.

Come segno distintivo e di riconoscimento, venne deciso che Abramo ed i suoi discendenti avrebbero tagliato il prepuzio, in maniera da assomigliare in toto agli Anunnaki. Tale pratica restò dunque nella tradizione del popolo ebraico come simbolo dell’alleanza, dell’accordo con gli dèi Anunnaki.

Dopo che i figli di Israele lasciarono l’Egitto durante l'Esodo, iniziato nel 1433 a.C., l’accordo venne rinnovato al “Har Ha Elohim“ (la montagna degli dèi) così che fosse chiaro lo scopo della missione, per cui la “Terra Promessa“ sarebbe stata divisa fra le dodici tribù, in particolare le tribù di Beniamino e di Giuda avrebbero dovuto gestire l’area di Gerusalemme e la tribù di Asher il territorio dell’attuale Libano.

La linea sacerdotale legata ad Enlil impose allo scriba traduttore in lingua ebraica della storia Sumera e Babilonese del Giardino dell’Eden di addossare al tentatore della donna (Ea/Enki) la responsabilità degli avvenimenti. Uno degli epiteti Sumeri di Ea/Enki era “Buzur“, (Colui che conosce/risolve i segreti o Quello delle miniere di rame o Serpente) mentre il termine ebraico impiegato nella famosa storia del Giardino dell’Eden per indicare chi aveva tentato Eva era “Nahash” (Serpente), ma tale termine ha anche stessi significati del Sumero “Buzur “.

Pertanto si comprende come sia stato possibile dimostrare che il concetto di Serpente divenisse il simbolo di un essere negativo, anzi che fosse stato proprio lui a far iniziare le tribolazioni dell’Uomo, quando spinse “Adamo ed Eva“ a mangiare la mela della conoscenza.

Piatti speziati e piccanti per gli "chef" Neanderthal

corbis.jpg

Anche i nostri "cugini" apprezzavano i sapori forti delle erbe aromatiche? Da alcune ricerche sembrerebbe di sì. Ma le piante potrebbero essere state usate anche per scopi medicinali.

L'immagine di un troglodita affamato che addenta carne cruda è piuttosto distante dalle abitudini culinarie dei Neanderthal. La dieta dei nostri lontani parenti comprendeva prelibatezze come pesci, volatili e piante erbacee, magari arrostiti e... con un pizzico di piccante.

L'ipotesi che i nostri predecessori ravvivassero le loro pietanze con erbe aromatiche è affascinante ma suffragata, purtroppo, da pochi dati scientifici. Scoprire che cosa ci fosse nei piatti Neanderthal 40-50 mila anni fa non è impresa semplice. Ma alcuni indizi farebbero pensare che, oltre a conoscere l'uso di piante medicinali, queste popolazioni sapessero sfruttare il sapore speziato di alcuni vegetali.

rimedi naturali. L'idea ha origine da uno studio compiuto qualche anno fa sul tartaro dentale di resti Neanderthal di 50 mila anni fa, rinvenuti nella grotta di El Sidrón, Spagna. Karen Hardy e i colleghi dell'Università di Barcellona vi trovarono resti di camomilla e achillea (una pianta aromatica usata talvolta per insaporire la birra) e conclusero che i Neanderthal dovevano praticare rudimentali cure erboristiche, così come fanno alcuni primati.

Contorno "forte". Ma uno studio di Sabrina Krief, del Museo di Storia Naturale di Parigi, appena pubblicato sulla rivista Antiquity, sembra fornire una diversa interpretazione. Osservando gli scimpanzé del Kibale National Park, in Uganda, Krief ha notato che i primati accompagnano le carni appena cacciate con tre diversi tipi di foglie, una delle quali dal gusto piccante.

Erbe medicinali? Forse, ma tutti gli animali mangiavano le stesse, ed è improbabile - conclude Krief - che avessero tutti gli stessi malesseri. Inoltre, la predilezione per l'una o l'altra pianta sembra cambiare di popolazione in popolazione, in base alle disponibilità naturali.

Piatto ricco. Se gli scimpanzé mangiano speziato, che cosa ci dice che i Neanderthal non facessero altrettanto? Non lo possiamo escludere, chiarisce un articolo su New Scientist, ma rimane un'ipotesi piuttosto teorica. Quel che sappiamo è che questi ominidi impararono a integrare nella loro dieta carboidrati naturali, e che apprezzavano diverse varietà di carni - soprattutto bovina, equina o di cervo (rinoceronti e mammut erano "piatti della domenica").

Resti di focolari e fuliggine fanno pensare arrostissero i cibi, e forse bollivano le ossa per estrarne sapori e nutrienti, come si fa ancora in alcuni stufati.

Insomma, le doti dei lontani cugini non smettono di sorprendere.

NEANDERTHAL = NEPHILIM?

Introduction:

A speculative research paper examining current evidence available on Neanderthal man with comparison to references in early manuscripts of the Nephilim an ancient race of half-breed humans. The argument is presented that the scientific facts verify that the Neanderthal were in fact one and the same as the ancient warrior race the Nephilim. It is here proposed that an examination of the evidence and facts currently available on Neanderthal man reveal that they could well have been a race of half-breed humans referred to in some of the earliest manuscripts found as the Nephilim.





Background:

Neanderthal man has become an enigma to science once being hailed as the proof of the evolution of apes to modern man. He was considered to be the brutish ancestor link to man in the evolution chain, the intermediate stage between man and ape.

Now! Neanderthal is recognized by scientists as a contemporary of modern man living alongside humans having many human attributes. But amazingly with a LARGER brain than mans! Were they the Nephilim?

To address the question we first need to examine the current facts and information available on Neanderthal man.

1. The archaeological history of Neanderthal finds :

In 1856 workers in the Neander Valley near Dusseldorf, Germany uncovered a skull and bones. The skull was unlike anything seen before, having a flattened cranium with a heavy brow ridge above large eye sockets. Nearby, workers also uncovered an assortment of thick and heavily fossilized bones. In succeeding years many further specimens have been found, not only in the German Neander Valley, but in France, Italy, Iraq and Israel.

Controversy surrounded the interpretation of these fossils. Initially a German Anatomist Rudolf Virchow examined the first discovery and concluded they were Homo sapien with rickets, caused by a deficiency of vitamin D. He considered that the flattened head was caused by repeated powerful blows (his examination was done pre Darwinism 1859).

When more finds came to light with what also appeared to be rickets, it was considered far too much of a coincidence and for lack of any other explanation they became relegated to a sub-human category. The French palaeontologist Marcellin Boule, concluded Neanderthals walked stooped forward which fitted in with the then new current thinking of Darwin’s evolutionary theory of the origin of man (these new assumptions were made post Darwinism 1859). For the next fifty years this created the popular image of an ape-man intermediary to man. Science thought it had the conclusive evidence it badly needed showing the missing stage between ape and man





Over one hundred years after first being found Boule’s skeleton was re-examined in 1957 and it was now determined that Neanderthals walked upright and that the stooped posture suggested by Boule’s skeleton was created by arthritis. More evidence from various caves and digs has shown that Neanderthals wielded tools and weapons, wore ornaments, had cultural and religious rites, ceremoniously burying their dead.

2. The Neanderthal Brain Size:

The greatest enigma found with Neanderthal is their brain size, which is more than 13% larger than our own brain size. The average Neanderthal brain measured 1,500 milliliters in volume compared to less than 1,400 milliliters for humans current world-wide average. This brain size allowed for large cerebral hemispheres.

Neanderthals were intelligent thinkers. Yet they left almost no permanent record of their presumed intelligence or culture. Some say he could walk the streets today in a suit collar and tie and be unrecognized, well maybe in New York, but about as unrecognizable as the incredible hulk without his green paint, would be a fairer reflection. Yet today study books continue to be full of illustrations of Neanderthals as subhuman ape-men. Out of date TV documentaries go on wrongly depicting Neanderthals as the evolutionary ape-man link.

3. The Physical Features of Neanderthal:

Neanderthals were physically very strong and unquestionably tough, a physically impressive race. Males averaged about 1m 75 cm; females 1m 60 cm, Neanderthals were considerably stronger and tougher. Their joints, were larger; their bones thicker. The fossils indicate they were substantially more muscled including the children. Neanderthal fossils lack the predominant chin of humans and a last set of molars. They had well muscled chests, long bodies, with shorter legs. Some fossil specimens (not all), have hip sockets more splayed than modern humans. The size of the skull eye sockets would have carried very large eyeballs.

Through examining the attachment points at which muscle binds to their bones it has been illustrated that their calves and biceps were extremely well developed as well as their pectoral chest and back muscles. A Neanderthal, because of this greater muscle mass, would weigh some ten kilos more than a modern human of equivalent height. They were regular Mr Universes.

4. Neanderthals possessed advanced skills:

Neanderthals used fire for heating, cooking and manufacturing. They probably crafted leather and fur garments of various types. Had a relatively advanced tool and weapon making culture manufacturing a large variety of finely-edged, sophisticated flint tools and weapons. This industry is characterized by the many tool types found, including spear points, stone lances and wooden spears with fire hardened points. Neanderthals made these different types of implements, for both "military" and domestic use, it provides evidence of their ability to plan, think and scheme.

5. Language:

Almost certainly, the Neanderthal race possessed advanced language. Fossil remains indicate Neanderthal voice boxes containing the vocal cords were capable of making the same sounds as modern humans. As they lived alongside humans it is reasonable to conclude they spoke the same language or if not learned to speak it becoming bi-lingual.

6. Command and appreciation of Music:

In a cave in Slovenia Yugoslavia, archaeologists consider they have unearthed the world’s oldest true musical instrument, a flute which appears to have been made by Neanderthals. Broken at both ends, the 12 cm long instrument is made out of the leg bone of a young bear still retaining its four finger holes. Apart from being considered the oldest musical instrument in the world, this flute’s greatest significance lies in its association with Neanderthal man’s ability to produce music, and make musical instruments.

The Neanderthal race could have composed music, sung to it and possibly danced to it no differently than humans today. The ability to create music on a multiple note instrument reveals evidence of imagination and abstract thought. It would therefore be reasonable to conclude that these same qualities would have also been put to use in other skills such as reading and writing.

7. Neanderthal Culture:

There is evidence indicating that Neanderthals possessed a sense of community spirit by performing ritual burials and caring for the old and sick. Remains of several physically impaired individuals have been uncovered. Some recovered skeletons display old, healed injuries suggesting their wounds or injuries were treated and cared for. In a cave in Iraq, archaeologists uncovered skeletons of a man, two women and an infant buried together in soil containing pollen of flowers. The flowers, being set there by survivors, strongly suggests that Neanderthals thought and cared for their dead.

Analysis of the sediment pollen concentrated in batches, implied that possible bunches of flowers had been placed on the grave. Closer examination of the pollen enabled scientists to identify many flowers that were present, all of which had some therapeutic properties. Were they part of an aromatic preparation, a kind of pot-pourri for the dead, or perfumed oils used in ointment preparations? If so an appreciation of the cosmetic appearance of flowers and perfumed fragrances existed, much the same as today with our embalming of the body with fragrances and the use of flowers at funerals. These flowers also testify to a warm climate and the abundant floral varieties availability at the time.

8. Neanderthal Burial tombs:

It is possible Neanderthals chose certain caves to use as burial ’tombs’ this would account for the fact that so many of the remains of Neanderthals have been found buried in caves. This practice would be similar to more recent human cultures who in certain parts of the world used memorial tombs often carved out of the inside of a natural caves using a stone rolled in front of the entrance to seal shut the tomb cave.

Evidence of Neanderthal skeletons buried in excavated graves in the ground suggests concern over the concepts of life and death. Value being placed on the dead person, funerals being a part of the social and psychological practices for dealing with death.

9. Neanderthals exercised abstract thinking concepts:

Neanderthals show signs of being a social race in which the old and the injured were taken care of instead of simply left to die as with animals. Individuals of well advanced years, have been found which support the idea that they exercised "humanity", mental thought principles over physical actions. Religion is a characteristic of the human species. In order to have religion, one must be capable of abstract thought and reasoning. Without such abilities, the concepts of life and death or a God could not be imagined. It appears the Neanderthal race possessed some of these attributes.

Unlike humans however, there is evidence presented by the scientists that the male/female role interplay as practiced by humans in family activity was not carried out by Neanderthals. There is no evidence of couples or family oriented activities among Neanderthals such as taking meals together. This stands out in contrast to their closeness in so many other ways to humans.

10. Cruel Warriors:

There is evidence however that Neanderthals were cruel warriors and fighters suffering and inflicting battle wounds, mutilations, torture and maiming, they may also have practiced cannibalism. In France archaeologists uncovered 2 fragments of leg bones and 3 arm bones. Some scientists believe that these bones show signs of being fractured while still fresh. Another Neanderthal site containing human bone fragments shows signs of cuts and burns.

The presence of burns on the bones is significant since no animal, other than humans, makes deliberate use of fire in food preparation. These burnt and intentionally broken human bones have been interpreted as being evidence of some form of cannibalism, Neanderthals eating humans. They could equally be evidence of torture and or mutilation by dismemberment as has often been the case within certain human cultures who engage in cruel battle blood lust.

11. Neanderthals lived along side with Humans:

Researchers working in caves in Israel have unearthed skeletons of both Neanderthals and modern humans. These Neanderthal remains have been dated back some 60,000 years (see revised information on dating ); the accompanying "modern" humans skeletons back 92,000 years.

If the dates are correct, modern type humans were around for a long time ’before’ the Neanderthals appeared. After they did arrive on the scene "modern humans" appear to have coexisted with Neanderthals, sharing living areas together with them for some time, until they the Neanderthals went extinct. Although it appears that Neanderthals and modern humans were contemporary, inhabiting the same geographic areas and living areas Neanderthals did not interbreed with humans.

12. Scientists dating the extinction of the Neanderthal race:

There is evidence that both ’types’ exchanged ideas, at least in how to make tools. As a result, the idea that Homo Neanderthalensis directly evolved into Homo sapiens now seems wildly improbable.

According to present scientific thinking the fossil record of Neanderthals abruptly ends about 30,000 to 35,000 years ago (see revised information on dating). After this time only Homo Sapiens dominate the scene. Researchers make the comment that,

"Why Neanderthals suddenly went extinct is a topic of much question we may never know the true reason."

Radiocarbon analysis puts the later Neanderthal sites as being c 32,500 years old. So some 32,000 years ago Neanderthals disappeared completely; they simply vanished for no clear reason.

Today Neanderthal is classified as totally human - Homo sapien (humankind). What happened to them? Some scientist theorize that this Homo sapien race, ’us humans’, killed off the Neanderthal race. So did a physically and mental inferior race, humans exterminate a physically and mentally superior race Neanderthals?? Logic dictates that if one race extinguished the other, the Neanderthal race with their superior strength and mental abilities should have exterminated the inferior human race!

This, of course, is the ultimate question, one that continues to divide and baffle experts, one that I shall endeavor to provide rational explanations for in this paper, covering all the above criteria.

13. How science determines Neanderthal dating:

The scientists as we have seen date the period of the Neanderthals to end c32,500 years ago. How do they arrive at this date? what scientific processes do they use to come to this conclusion? Surprisingly as it may seem it is all based on ’relative’ methods "guess work". Ridiculous! Have a look at the facts, when we do we are faced with an unusual situation that exists no where else in the sciences.

The scientists have created a theoretic "geological column chart" on which the theory of evolution is hung. The most recent chart, now used in most museums and universities is that drawn up by Van Eysinga in 1975. This chart covers some 600 million years dividing time into periods, ie. Cretaceous 65 to 140 million year ago; Jurassic 140 to 195 million years ago etc etc. This chart cannot be found in nature, it is theoretical, pieced together from various inter-related strata from all over the world. The vast time periods that have been allocated in the chart to facilitate the slow burying of fossils which formed the sedimentary rock layers cannot be proved or illustrated in any deposits being formed today it is all calculated and based on estimated guess work.

When a geologist has difficulty dating a rock stratum he requests the evolutionists opinion on the date of the fossils the rock contains, this then becomes its ’established’ age date. When an evolutionist has difficulty dating a fossil he requests the geologists opinion on the age of the rock containing the fossil which then becomes its ’accepted’ age date. A case of two theories being cross referenced in order to establish a so called fact??

14. Using the Carbon dating clock (C14):

Technically the carbon dating process is very accurate, making precise calculations according to a set formula. The clock itself works very well; like a stop watch with meticulously manufactured cogs and wheels. The problems come with the set up data fed into it, unless the calibrations are realistic and accurate the clock is no good. For example if an extremely accurate clock is set to the wrong time to start with no matter how accurate it is, the time it shows will always be wrong. Or if a clock has its mechanism set to a 25 hour day calibration with accuracy down to one thousandth of a second, the time it shows will always be useless to its owner.

So how has the important Carbon dating clock been set for dating Neanderthal man? We shall examine the evidence which shows that this C14 dating process as it is presently calibrated is only good for dating things back 2-3,000 years.

Scientists claim they have accurately calculated the age of Neanderthal bones by using this Radio Carbon C14 method. C14 is a type of carbon formed in the upper atmosphere when cosmic radiation particles bombard it. It forms radioactive carbon dioxide and from the atmosphere in minute quantities through photosynthesis passes into plants and animals and so is absorbed by all living things along the food chain. Natural carbon C12 is also present in all living things but in much greater quantity. The ratio of C12 to its minute cousin C14 is constant in all living things (today one C14 atom to one billion C12 atoms).

Scientists have accepted the assumption that C14 has been forming in the atmosphere constantly and continually for millions of years and that its build up which they calculate would have taken 30,000 years has reached its constant saturation point (the radiocarbon reservoir) and that as much C14 is now decaying as is being formed.

* C14 absorbed into any living thing during its life time starts to decay once it dies.
* Half its amount of C14 decays away to nitrogen gas in about 5,700 years.
* Half of the remaining half decays away in a further 5,700 years and so on until immeasurably small.

Once a plant or animal dies it stops taking in C14 and it starts to decay at the above rate while C12 stays the same.

Calibrations given to the C14 clock:

• 5,700yrs after death 50% of C14 remains = 150 c14 counts per second
  after 11,400yrs 25% of C14 remains = 75 C14 counts per second
  after 17,100yrs 12.5% of C14 remains = 37.5 C14 counts per sec
  after 22.800yrs 6.25% of C14 remains = 18.7 C14 counts per sec
  after 28,500yrs 3.12% of C14 remains = 9.8 C14 counts per sec
  after 34,200yrs 1.56% of C14 remains = 4.9 C14 counts per sec

This dating test relies entirely on knowing exactly what the original ratio mix of C14 to C12 is or was. The clock is only accurate if the ratio is the same today as when the organism lived and remained constant during its life and after its death right up to the time of dating. If there had been less C14 in the atmosphere during its lifetime than today it would have absorbed less and the ratio would read much lower with a lower count per second giving it a much older false reading.

Evolutionists believe that there has been no change in the ratio of C14 to C12 for millions of years. William Libby and his co-workers while developing the radiocarbon dating method in the 1940s believed that the amount of C14 in the world could not possibly have varied during the time that mankind had been on the Earth simply because the Earth is of an immense age, some 4,600 million years old so they believed. Because of this great age it was assumed that the 30,000 years transition period required for the atmosphere to have built up its ‘equilibrium value’ of C14 had already occurred and that the terrestrial radiocarbon reservoir had reached a steady state.

To test this assumption in Libby’s theory he made measurements of both the rate of formation and the rate of decay of radiocarbon. He found to his surprise a considerable discrepancy in his measurements; that apparently, radiocarbon was being created in the atmosphere somewhere around 25% faster than it was becoming extinct. Since this result to him was inexplicable he put it down to experimental error.

During the 1960s chemists repeated Libby’s experiments with refined techniques. They revealed that the discrepancy of Libby’s was not experimental error but did exist. Richard Longenfelter found,

’There is strong indication, despite the large errors that the present natural production rate exceeds the natural decay rate by as much as 25%’.

Other researchers have since confirmed this finding including Hans Suess, of the University of Southern California in the Journal of Geophysical Research and V R Switzer writing in Science.

Professor Melvin Cook Professor of Metallurgy at Utah University reviewed the data of Suess and Lingenfelter and reached the conclusion that the present rate of formation of carbon 14 is 18.4 atoms per gram per minute and the rate of decay 13.3 atoms per gram per minute, a ratio indicating that formation exceeds decay by some 38 per cent.

Cook went one step further by taking the latest measured figures on radiocarbon formation and decay. He calculated them back to the point at which there would have been zero radiocarbon. In so doing he is in effect using the radiocarbon technique to date the Earth’s own atmosphere. His resulting calculations showed that the atmosphere is only around 10,000 years old!

Many researchers have shown that the C14 in the atmosphere is ’still’ increasing at between 25 to 38% more than is at present decaying. This indicates that the atmosphere because it has not yet reached saturation with C14 (saturation point is reached when the amount decaying is the same as that being formed) is either still building up and is therefore much younger than originally considered (ie Cook’s 10,000 years) or at some earlier stage the atmosphere was inhibited from the present rate of cosmic particle bombardment and so is again still building up C14 to reach its saturation equilibrium point estimated to take some 30,000 years.

When we calculate back the equation to zero point of C14 in the atmosphere using this increasing 25-38% present ’greater build up of decay ratio’ in the atmosphere we find we get a starting date for the C14 build up process in the atmosphere by cosmic ray bombardment of only c10,000 years ago. This would have the effect of drastically reducing the amount of C14 that was present in the atmosphere and thereby reduce the amount absorbed by living organisms during their life times. When reading these reduced amounts it would create an artificially, much older dying date when using the present wrongly calibrated C14 clock setting.

Scientists calculate Neanderthal disappeared some 32,500 years ago according to present dating by C14, when applying the erroneous assumption that C14 saturation has already been achieved. To arrive at their date of 32,500 years ago the C14 reading in the Neanderthal bones would have been c 2% of original ratio, achieved by a C14 clock count reading of c 6 counts per second.

If we now rework this date using the short 10,000 year period of C14 build up and the 2% of original ratio ( 6, counts per second ) used in the evolutionists original calculation. Then a Neanderthal who had died say 4,400 years ago would have absorbed C14 from the atmosphere that had only been building up for 5,600 years. Then at death the Neanderthal would only have absorbed 18.67% of the scientists anticipated full 100% saturation amount of C14.

If absorption into the atmosphere started 10,000 years ago then 4,400 years ago absorption would have been in operation for 5,600 years, if saturation takes 30,000 years then 5,600 years would be 18.67% of 30,000 years. This would give a false calculation for the year of his death showing erroneously that he had been dead for 14,286 years at the time he died.

It is ridiculous to think that the atmosphere of the Earth is only 10,000 years old as the science evidence suggests. Agreed, but the truth can often more incredible than fiction. There is now new evidence that we shall be considering that although the atmosphere is old the absorption of C14 has possibly only been going on for the last 4,400 years; that the C14 penetration and absorption into our atmosphere was inhibited prior to this time and that when the protection ended the Earth’s climate also changed radically.


The Nephilim Race:

Introduction:

The following information will initially raise eyebrows but all the observations and comments made are backed up with logical supporting evidence. A self-confident science reacts to new evidence with the ability to change its conclusions. But sciences that have become dogmatic respond in exactly the opposite way. It denies the evidence or refuses to even consider it, redoubling its fanaticism libelling the bearers of new information and its evidence. Consider the evidence.

Can the criteria uncovered about Neanderthals be applied to the Nephilim race? To do so it would need to explain the following list of 16 characteristics associated with Neanderthals.

1. Had brains as large if not larger than humans.
2. Well muscled and developed physiques.
3. Distinctive characteristics from humans.
4. Evidence that humans lived before the Neanderthals arrived.
5. Humans & Neanderthals coexisted for a period sharing living space.
6. Neanderthals were skilled in tool and weapon making.
7. They were a battle scarred warrior race.
8. Neanderthals were skilled in language, and literacy.
9. They were cultured in music and musical instrument making.
10. Neanderthals had a general culture of their own similar to humans.
11. They practiced burial of the dead and religious rituals.
12. Possibly possessed skills in apothecary and, aromatherapy.
13. Neanderthals lived in warm temperate climates.
14. They had possible hybrid characteristics.
15. Corrected dating places them coexisting with humans 4,400 yrs ago.
16. Neanderthals were exterminated suddenly while humans continued.

1. Ancient manuscript information on the Nephilim race:

The ancient manuscripts refer to a time 4,500 years ago, before the ancient Egyptian civilization, when highly intelligent life forces from outside our universe were aware that the human race was beginning to multiply on this planet. They turned their attention to earth with the intention of controlling and colonizing it. The human race at that time had a possible population of some 35 million * (see foot note 1). For certain calculated reasons they took this opportunity to move in on the Human estate with the objective of usurping it and bringing it under their control and domination.

Having an extremely high level of scientific knowledge, coming from a race millions of years older than the fairly new human race, they understood precisely how the human DNA functioned in the human make up. Engineering the transformation of their own makeup to assimilate the human form they took on physical bodies fashioned on their knowledge of the human DNA structure and cellular make up. Probably emphasizing and enhancing in the process physical power and size, making themselves extremely impressive specimens * (see foot note 2 for manuscript references).

There is no manuscript information as to how many went through this metamorphic change but possibly some thousands participated. They took pleasure in exercising control over the natural human population, cohabiting with the women, selecting the best for themselves without restriction. Probably meeting very little objection from husbands or other human males due to their impressive physical dominance.

Once these women had been impregnated and inseminated with their engineered semen they became pregnant giving birth to children who were a hybrid half-caste race known as Nephilim. It is very likely that these hybrid individuals were sterile and did not breed.

2. Hybrid Sterility:

* To illustrate the existing natural laws, a Hybrid, strictly defined, is an offspring that is a cross between different species usually producing sterile hybrids; the male mule is the sterile offspring of a female horse and a male donkey. It is used in many parts of the world as a beast of burden because of its much greater body strength than its parents. It seems to excel both its parents in muscular endurance, surefootedness, and length of life. The hinny is the sterile hybrid offspring of the female donkey and the male horse.

Hybrids often have what is called hybrid vigor; they tend to be larger, faster growing, and healthier than their parents. Thus, mules are bred for their strength, superior to that of either parent. Ornamental plants are bred for their larger flowers; nearly all corn and tomatoes grown today are hybrids that bear much larger fruit than their parental stock.

3. Population ratios of the two races.:

How many of these hybrid half-caste humans were born is hard to say but the records inform us that these transformed humanoid like visitors continued taking women and impregnating them for almost 120 years* (*see foot note 2 vs 3) If there were ’say’ 5,000 of them and they continued fathering children by means of various human women at the rate of ’say’ one a month over a period of 100 years they would have accumulated a Nephilim hybrid race numbering 6 million compared to a population of humans by then having increased to approximately 135 million.* (* see foot note 2 vs 2).

This possible 6 million strong Nephilim race would form a veritable army by which their fathers could hold tight control on the 135 million human population. This period of human history became so filled with violence and bloodshed the entire human population became subject to an environment of terror.

4. Are the Neanderthal one and the same as the Nephilim?

It is the writers belief that this hybrid half breed race referred to as the Nephilim were in fact one and the same as the Neanderthal race. The characteristics of Nephilim fit the scientists descriptions of the Neanderthal,

"a physically very strong, tough impressive race with larger joints, thicker bones, well muscled chests, long bodies, and shorter legs weighing approximately twenty pounds more than a modern human of equivalent height, regular Mr Universes."

It also explains why their brain size and cerebral hemispheres were as large if not larger than humans.

The new evidence examined supports a correction of the calibration of C14 dating clock to include the carbon 14 build up readings, this would bring both Nephilim and Neanderthals into the same time frame some 4,400 years ago.
(For full manuscript dating chronology see further references at the end of the paper, R/P 32).

5. Cause of extermination of Neanderthal/Nephilim race:

The scientists do not know what caused the extinction of the Neanderthal race but the ancient records do tell us what happened to cause the extinction of the Nephilim race, a massive deluvion flood, exterminating the entire race. The manuscripts shed further light on how this deluge occurred and how it would have affected the C14 build up in the atmosphere fitting the scientific facts found to date on the situation *.
(see foot note 2 vs 7-17).

6. An Atmospheric protection layer:

These ancient manuscripts refer back to when a water vapour, screen layer was suspended above the atmosphere, possibly held in place by the counter balancing effects of centrifugal, magnetic and gravitational forces* (see foot note 3). In fact Saturn today, has suspended around it atmospheric rings, although very different in composition to that which would have surrounded the earth. The earth’s vapour layer would have had to have been much wider than Saturn’s rings, roofing over the earth’s atmosphere, thicker over the equator, tapering down towards the poles, forming a global atmospheric climate controlling mechanism.

This mechanism would have had the effect of dissipating the thermal heat rays of the sun more evenly over the entire surface of the earth. Protecting the equator regions from overheating as experienced today and dispersing the heat out toward the polar regions, making for a more even temperate climate throughout the entire earth’s surface. This would explain the evidence found on the earth of temperate vegetation and animals found living so close to the polar regions and why warm climate animals living in these arctic areas were suddenly destroyed and preserved in ice. Also why the desert areas of the earth today show evidence that during the earlier chapters of mans history there were abundant water supplies and lush vegetation throughout the year, the very same temperate climate that the Neanderthal lived in.

Could this also explain the dilemma some archaeologists have when they find evidence that the Great Sphinx of Egypt shows signs of exposure to rainfall weathering over a long period. For the last 4,000 years there has been very little if any rainfall in Egypt; has the earth’s climate changed radically by the removal of this water suspension canopy?

This protective outer layer surrounding the earth’s atmosphere would have dissipated the warmth around the earth similar to the effect of a green house roof. Just as the panes of glass block the suns harmful radiation rays entering the green house (i.e. you will never get a suntan sitting inside a glass green house on a sunny day) so the water vapour screening layer above the atmosphere would have protected the earth from these cosmic harmful C14 forming rays. Without the canopy we are unprotected today from the constant bombardment of these rays and so we are subject to the effects of premature ageing. Science is now linking the bombardment of these radiation rays to cell and DNA breakdown as causing part of human ageing process (see further related material at the end of this paper "chapter 8" on Telomeres).

This water vapour screen would have protected life from the harmful exposure to direct cosmic radiation rays from the sun, preventing the infiltration of harmful radio carbon C14. As already discussed this would account for the atmosphere still building up its levels of C14 not yet having reached its saturation point, estimated by some scientists to take approximately 30,000 years. If this figure is correct then from a starting point for the build up of C14 some 5,000 years ago there is yet a further 25,000 years to go before saturation is reached.

This would have the effect of causing all carbon dating done so far to be thrown out of the window as the clock on which all these dates have been calculated has been set at a wrong starting time through assuming that saturation in the atmosphere was reached millions of years ago, whereas this evidence dictates that it still has not been accomplished.

7. What caused the removal of this benign protective layer?

As already discussed, according to the manuscripts, because of the situation of interbreeding between humans and extra terrestrial races the earth had acquired a fearsome, hybrid half-breed race of Neanderthals (Nephilim). This situation of interbreeding caused violence and bloodshed between the two races to fill the inhabited earth and had to be dealt with. This intolerable situation had to be removed, wiped out completely or otherwise civilization as we know it today would not have been able to evolve. According to the Greek manuscripts* (see foot note 3 Greek Codex Sanaticus) the suspended water vapour layer provided the means to do this.

At a pre determined date the suspended layer was broken up, the manuscripts indicate according to chronological calculations this to have been almost 4,400 years ago* (see further related material at the end of this paper, R/P 32). The falling of the deluge waters came from the breaking-up of this suspended water canopy. Possibly the balancing centrifugal, magnetic and gravitational forces holding it in position were adjusted in some way.

Scientists acknowledge that the earth’s magnetic force fields have at certain times reversed themselves. Surveys of palaemagnetism, the study of lava rocks which contain iron particles, show when these rocks were cooling and solidifying from a liquid state the iron particles would line up in line with the direction of the earth’s magnetic field leaving behind a record of the direction of the magnetic field at the time. These surveys have revealed that the earth’s magnetic field was reversed on more than one occasion. Did a reversing of the magnetic field provide the trigger mechanism setting off a controlled reaction that lead to pulling down of the water vapour layer?

The billions upon billions of tons of water vapour could have been drawn down mainly at the poles by gravitational and centrifugal forces, condensing vapour into water and water into ice accompanied by high velocity winds, almost overnight causing dramatic changes to the earth’s former temperate climate.

The build up of great pressures of water and ice falling onto the polar regions would have forced it in glacier form to spread rapidly out over the surfaces of the globe toward the equators, gouging out valleys under the rapid movement of mountains of ice being bulldozed out under massive back pressure. Everything in their paths would have been destroyed. With the continual falling of this water and ice for 40 days* (see foot note 4) at both poles with more and more ice building up behind its mass pressure quickly built up until its sheer weight cracked the earth’s mantle buckling it and breaking it up into the ’tectonic plate’ continental land masses we now have. These great continental land mass plates, crushed against one another forcing up mountain ranges while the weight of the massive ice glaciers along with billions of tons of additional water forcing down great surface depressions allowing the water to settle into these new ocean basins that we have today.Click here to go to foot note 4.

8. The evidence fits the theory:

How does the evidence fit with this? Did the deluvian mechanism provide the criteria that resulted in the formation of the worlds continental plates?

It certainly could have provided the energy to create the tremendous forces needed to tear apart and crack up the earth’s crust. It could also have provided the on going energy to drive these cracked continental plates apart in some places, over riding neighboring plates in others compressing and forcing plate edges against one another with such force as to drive up and form the world’s great mountain ranges that then come into existence.

The hypothesis that the crust of the earth could have been cracked up into the continental plates by a thickening of the earth’s polar ice caps was put forward by Hapgood and Campbell in 1958, in their publication "Earth’s Shifting Crust".

Professor Melvin Cook took this theory and modeled it. He started with a situation where the earth’s mantel was more or less fairly uniformly covered with crust from pole to pole. By creating a build up of ice at the poles he finally cracked the crust, the fracture lines determined by the pressures being exerted from the opposing polar forces. These pressures on the earth’s crust can be likened to the effect on the shell of a hard boiled egg being squeezed in a vice from both ends. When the earth’s crust fractured it would have snapped rapidly and violently and like the pieces of the egg shell, quickly separated in some place, but in others forced up against one another.

Professor Cook believes the ancient Arctic ice cap a mass of some 100 million tons disappeared suddenly about 10,000 years ago. To explain this he says it would be necessary for the ice to have dissipated catastrophically. He concludes the evidence proves the earth’s crust was rapidly forced up into the great mountain ranges at about the same time, mass of ice and snow released forming the present oceans.

Much evidence supports the above; that the earth not so long ago contained much less water on its surface and had far more dry land:

1. Vast masses of terrestrial animal remains have been found thousands of meters deep in the oceans, evidence that the land was once above sea level.
2. Marine animal remains including whale skeletons bear evidence of sudden extinction having been found hundreds of meters above sea level, evidence of some phenomena causing the water to suddenly and dramatically raise above the original sea level.
3. Thousands of flat top islands over 1,000 meters high have been charted at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. They are encrusted with coral revealing that they at one time must have been at or near the surface.
4. The island of Great Britain was once linked to Europe by a connecting plateau now 20 meters below sea level, it was once all dry land, remains of forests, animal and human bones have all been found on this plateau, evidence of a previously lower sea level.
5. The oceans and seas at present cover some 70% of the earth’s surface. It has been calculated that if 20% of the earth’s water was evaporated off some 50% more dry land would appear, with the re-emergence above sea level of much of the land that at one time was originally above the water. A suspended water vapour layer as described could have comfortably taken up this 20% amount of water .

Does the evidence support linking the Neanderthals to the Nephilim?

The criteria associated with Neanderthals can equally be applied to the Nephilim situation.

1a. Neanderthals had brains as large if not larger than humans.
1b. Nephilim were Hybrid of two intelligent races; a large brain size could be anticipated.

2a. Neanderthals were well muscled with highly developed physiques.
2b. Nephilim would have inherited these common hybrid vigour characteristics.

3a. Neanderthals had distinctive characteristics (flattened cranium, heavy ridge above large eye sockets)
3b. Nephilim were only half-caste with human, characteristics being acquired from both parents.

4a. Neanderthals appeared after humans had been around for a long time.
4b. Nephilim started breeding some 1400 years after humans started populating the earth.

5a. Neanderthals and Humans coexisted, sharing living space for a period.
5b. Nephilim inhabited the earth alongside humans for 120 years.

6a. Neanderthals were skilled in tool and weapon making.
6b. Nephilim learnt physical skills and human culture from human mothers.

7a. Neanderthal were a battle scarred warrior race.
7b. Nephilim aggressive tyranny filled the earth with violence & blood shed.

8a. Neanderthals were skilled in language, spoken and written.
8b. Nephilim communicated freely with the human populus.

9a. Neanderthals were cultured in music and musical instrument making.
9b. Nephilim as an intelligent half-caste human hybrid had no problem mastering such skills.

10a. Neanderthals had general culture similar but not the same as humans.
10b. Nephilim inherited part human culture from mothers and part from metamorphosed fathers.

11a. Neanderthal practiced burial of the dead and religious rituals.
11b. Nephilim had an intelligent awareness with which to learn theoretical concepts, some may have been unknown to humans at that point but revealed to the Nephilim by their fathers. This cosmic knowledge awareness when handed down through later human generations may explain the seemingly high level of religious thought connected with intercommunications between the heavens and the earth as practiced by the early civilizations particularly the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, many of which we still do not understand to this day, ie mechanisms of electric batteries found in ancient Babylon, the interiors of the Giza pyramids etc etc.

12a. Neanderthal possibly possessed medical skills, practicing apothecary and, aromatherapy.
12b. Nephilim were intelligent, able to develop advanced skills, see 11b.

13a. Neanderthals lived in warm temperate climates.
13b. Nephilim also lived in warm temperate climate before the deluge changed it.

14a. Neanderthal revealed possible hybrid ’vigour’ characteristics.
14b. Nephilim were a hybrid half-breed race with strength greater than humans.

15a. Neanderthal coexisting with humans 4,400 years ago according to corrected C14 dating.
15b. Nephilim according to the chronological manuscripts lived during this same time period.

16a. Neanderthals were exterminated suddenly, humans continued on.
16b. Nephilim because of degenerating the earth and the human race, were exterminated by a cataclysmic world deluge caused by bringing down of the protective water vapour layer while the human race was preserved.


Conclusion:

The contradicting and mysterious circumstances surrounding the Neanderthals can be explained by the manuscript accounts referring to an ancient hybrid race, the Nephilim. These manuscripts are among some of the oldest ever found in the world, now collected together as part of the scriptures. The Neanderthal remains are very likely the remains of Nephilim.

The writer does not claim this paper to be free of errors but a stimulus to others with greater skills to examine further the information on the early activities of the human race that has been under our noses for thousands of years generally ignored and forgotten. Some scientists under the weight of built up evidence are beginning to do this, others are entrenching themselves ever deeper in their old theories. The cry from them of heresy seems to be getting louder in proportion to the evidence. Some sciences unfortunately have taken their received knowledge and molded it into a pseudo scientific philosophy not unlike the religions have done with theirs.

Truth should lead science and not the other way around. All disciplines of science particularly the ones built on the 100 year old theory of evolution should re-examine the current evidence for what it tells us and not what they would have it say by discarding the evidence that does not fit with their pre conceived theories. Maybe then many more of the present mysteries of ’science’ will not be so mysterious after all but find rational explanations. A mystery remains so until it gets a rational fact fitting explanation, it then ceases to be a mystery unless of course the explanation is rejected because it contradicts some previously accepted theory, then the mystery continues as a self created one.

True facts form a concrete foundation on which to advance onto further revelations. Truth should always be the target no matter what the circumstances. The ’science of evolution’ has been masquerading under the claim of ’proven truth’ while in fact it is anything but proven, most of the reliable evidence pointing in the opposite direction to their evolution theories.

Exposure is never met with welcoming arms and is often a bitter pill to swallow, but once swallowed the health of the science improves considerably.

* Foot note 1:

The population on the earth 4,500 years ago may be calculated to 35 million. The chronology of the human race places the first breeding couple c 6,000 years ago. Using conservative population increase demographics of doubling every 60 years then over a period of 1,500 years the population would have increased from two to 35 million. By 4,380 years ago it would have increased to 135 million.

Theory: Nephilim were Neanderthal man

I’d like to explore the idea that the Nephilim mentioned in the bible were Neanderthal man, a distant memory, or perhaps a clan of Neanderthal that actually survived and lived in Canaan. I have four points to support my theory.

#1. The first thing I’d like to point out is that people “of great size” does not necessarily mean tall “giant” people.

The term “Nephilim” occurs just twice in the Hebrew Bible, both in the Torah. The first is Genesis 6:1-4, immediately before the Noah’s ark story:

… The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. …

The second is Numbers 13:32-33, where the Hebrew spies report that they have seen fearsome giants in Canaan:

And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.

We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

The reference could refer to strength, not height. Neanderthal men were of great size, and powerful. Even the women were powerful:

“… even Arnold Schwarzenegger at his muscular peak no match for a Neanderthal woman … Regarding the inadequacy of Schwarzenegger, McAllister studied the remains of “La Ferrassie 2″, a Neanderthal lass discovered in a French cave in 1909. She boasted ten per cent more muscle than modern European men, and her upper arm strength was more than enough to “slam him to the table without a problem”. –

#2. The second point is the location of the sighting mentioned in the bible.

… The Mount Carmel caves outside Haifa set the geographical limits for Neanderthal fossils. One skeleton found buried in the Kebara cave is so well preserved that it has provided the best data yet on Neanderthal anatomy and led scholars to reassess the function of the Neanderthal pelvis and linguistic capabilities, following the discovery of the hyoid bone in the throat. … –



The obvious question: Was Kebara Cave, Mt Carmel, Israel in what was known as Canaan? According to this map, Mt. Carmel is very close to Galilee in ancient Israel. And according to worldatlas.com “Israel occupies about 75% of an area long known as Canaan.”

Below is a map of Canaan. In what was called Asher, you can see Mt. Carmel where the Neanderthal bones were found. Neanderthal man was in Canaan, and so were the Nephilim!



#3. The third supporting point is that the bible states that some men were descendants of the Nephilim and we now know that Neanderthal man interbred at least twice with Homo sapiens. The bible says, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim).” Who was Anak?

A study shows Neanderthals ate their veggiesAnak … was a well known figure, and a forefather of the Anakites who have been considered “strong and tall,” they were also said to have been a mixed race of giant people, descendants of the Nephilim. ‘ – wiki

“Using projected rates of genetic mutation and data from the fossil record, the researchers suggest that the interbreeding happened about 60,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean and, more recently, about 45,000 years ago in eastern Asia.” – nature.com



Yes, Israel (Canaan) is considered to be in the eastern Mediterranean.

#4. Fourth the phrase “The land we explored devours those living in it.” and “We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them,” I think, are references to cannibalism.

Having worked with locusts in some of my research, I can definitely tell you that they eat each other. It is revolting. It is something you never forget. This would not have escaped the observation of early men, for whom locusts (super grasshoppers) devouring your crops were one of the worst things that could happen.

We now know from archaeological research that our ancestors ate Neanderthal men.

… fossil expert Fernando Rozzi of Paris’s Centre National de la Récherche Scientifique, … based [the conclusion that we ate Neanderthal men] on a jawbone from a Neanderthal clearly butchered for food by someone with Homo Sapiens tools… – link

Ancient men seemed to be saying, “We are cannibals. We know it, and our food knows it.” We ate them!

Did Neanderthal man eat Homo sapiens? Perhaps not. Perhaps the tricky Homo sapiens felt guilt at his behavior and blamed his own “sins” on the enemy he killed and ate. The winners of a war get to rewrite history.

Once the giant Nephilim hybrids were born, these legendary warriors (Titans) of renowned fierceness began to kill off all the humans from the earth. In Numbers 11 we are told that they were not only giants but cannibals as well. The book of Enoch states that they ate the flesh and drank the blood of the people on earth. They were also the number one enemy of Israel.”

And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings

In fact, rather than them killing off all of the humans, it was our human ancestors who killed off all of the Titans, if “the Titans” is, as I suspect, another name for Neanderthal. And we at them. I tend to think the book of Enoch is a guilty historical rewrite.

#5. The fifth point of evidence is the fate of Neanderthal and the meaning of the word “Nephilim”.

“Nephilim” (נְפִילִים) probably derives from the Hebrew root npl (נָפַל), “to fall” which also includes “to cause to fall” and “to kill, to ruin”. The Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon gives the meaning as “giants”[1] Robert Baker Girdlestone argued the word comes from the Hiphil causative stem. Adam Clarke took it as passive, “fallen”, “apostates”. Ronald Hendel states that it is a passive form “ones who have fallen”, equivalent grammatically to paqid “one who is appointed” (i.e. overseer), asir, “one who is bound”, (i.e. prisoner) etc.

via Nephilim – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The large powerful Neanderthal men were eventually wiped out. They were the fallen, the ruined, the killed, and it would not be a stretch to believe that they were once made prisoners by their more tricky, more deceptive, better planning Homo sapien cousins. Genesis says, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days”. Now the Nephilim, like the Neanderthal, are no longer on the earth.

Arguments Against the Nephilim being Neanderthal Man

The major problem with my theory, if you accept that “giant” could just mean “a bit taller and much more muscular,” is, of course, the timing. Could a story in Genesis really be describing something that happened 60,000 years ago? When did the spies of Israel see the Nephilim in Canaan? One source puts the conquest of Canaan at 1406 to 1399 BC. Another says The Conquest of Canaan by Joshua took 6 years from 1487 to 1493 BC.

The 7 nations that confronted Joshua were GIANTS and they were like the sands of the sea in number. The Lord told Joshua to completely destroy these corrupt nations

Evidence suggests that dates in the bible must be wrong:

A 1401 BC date of the beginning of the conquest is supposed to violate the assured results of archeological findings in Palestine, notably at Ai, Lachish, and Debir. The problem of Ai is indeed acute, if the mound of et Tell is actually the biblical city. Excavation of the site by Mme. Judith Marquet-Krause in 1933 and 1934 has shown that there was an occupational gap in the history of the mound from about 2200 BC until after 1200 BC, so that supposedly there was nothing but a ruin there when Joshua and Israel are said to have captured and destroyed it… – theology.edu

For my theory to hold, the story of the Conquest of Canaan in Genesis would be drawn, in part, on more ancient sources than anyone has so far believed. Genesis, fantastically, may tell of the defeat of the last Neanderthals who survived as late as up to 24,000 years ago.

After wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, Moses handed over leadership to Joshua, whose responsibility it was to bring the nation of Israel into the promised land of Canaan. After entering Canaan, Joshua had to go to war with the people who occupied the land. – link

Perhaps Neanderthal man was around in the time of Moses, but there is, so far, no evidence for Neanderthal being around after 24,000 years ago. Another possibility is that an older story was woven into the real Conquest of Canaan.

Neanderthals, prehistoric cousins of humans, ate grains and vegetables as well as meat, cooking them over fire in the same way homo sapiens did. … The squat, low-browed Neanderthals lived in parts of Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East for around 170,000 years but all evidence of them disappears some 28,000 years ago, their last known refuge being Gibraltar. Why they died out is a matter of debate, because they co-existed alongside modern man. – physorg

Neanderthal died out because they were out planned and because they were not deceptive cannibals like “modern” man.
