There’s an ancient book left out of most Bibles that claims fallen angels fathered a race of giants before Noah’s flood, and most Christians have never read it.  I grew up never hearing about Enoch, and once it fell into my lap, I couldn’t stop pulling at the thread. The text claims heavenly beings called the Watchers descended onto Mount Hermon, took human wives, and fathered the giants mentioned in Genesis 6. Those same beings supposedly taught mankind how to forge weapons, use ornaments, precious stones, and cosmetics, read the stars, and practice enchantments. According to Enoch, that knowledge helped corrupt the pre-flood world so badly that God wiped it out. What makes this stranger is where the book ended up. The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible preserved Enoch as scripture, Aramaic fragments turned up in the Dead Sea Scrolls alongside something called the Book of Giants, and the New Testament book of Jude quotes Enoch’s prophecy directly. My 1781 Bible includes the Apocrypha and art depictions, including Daniel and the dragon. One page from another old book I have treats the planets, zodiac, seasons, and even politics as one connected system. It made me wonder how much of our fragmented view of history was shaped on purpose. Giants after the flood, Noah’s unusual birth, and sleeping giants in the mountains also come up.
