6-fingered giant's tomb
And there was...a battle in Gath, a city of the Philistines
also known as the City of Giants, where was [found the body of ] a man of great
stature, that had on every hand six fingers and on every foot six toes... (2
Sam 21:20)
Traits often found in giants are 6-fingered hands, double sets of teeth.

The giant teeth below were found
in China and known as "dragon's teeth" were found by the German-Dutch
paleontologist G. H. R. von Koenigswald around 1935 in a Chinese herbal shop.
They were studied by various authorities who noticed that they bore a striking
resemblance to human teeth, though around twice the size.
They calculated that the teeth belonged to a hominoid around 11.8 feet (3.6 meters) tall, which would have weighed in at 694 pounds (315 kilograms).
Post-Flood Occurrences of Genesis 6:4 regarding the Nephilim, includes the haunting phrase,"...and also after that...."
Apparently these strange events were not confined just to the period before the Flood. There seems to be some recurrence of those things which resulted in unusual "giants" appearing in subsequent periods later in the Old Testament narrative, specifically the giant-races of Canaan and also found in the Apocrypha book of Enoch translated from Ethiopian by Richard Laurence, London, 1883.
Chapters 7-8 - from The Book of Enoch (The Secrets of Evil Taught to Man)
1 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. 2And when the angels, (3) the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamored of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.
Enoch fragment
(3) An Aramaic text reads "Watchers" here (J.T. Milik, Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4 [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976], p. 167).
3Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; 4And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime. 5But they answered him and said; We all swear; 6And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking. 7Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, (4) which is the top of mount Armon.
(4) Upon Ardis. Or, "in the days of Jared" (R.H. Charles, ed. and trans., The Book of Enoch [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1893], p. 63).
8That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, (5) and bound themselves by mutual execrations.
(5) Mt. Armon, or Mt. Hermon, derives its name from the Hebrew word herem, a curse (Charles, p. 63).
9These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. (6)
(6) The Aramaic texts preserve an earlier list of names of these Watchers: Semihazah; Artqoph; Ramtel; Kokabel; Ramel; Danieal; Zeqiel; Baraqel; Asael; Hermoni; Matarel; Ananel; Stawel; Samsiel; Sahriel; Tummiel; Turiel; Yomiel; Yhaddiel (Milik, p. 151).
10Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. 11And the women conceiving brought forth giants, (7)
(7) The Greek texts vary considerably from the Ethiopic text here. One Greek manuscript adds to this section, "And they [the women] bore to them [the Watchers] three races–first, the great giants. The giants brought forth [some say "slew"] the Nephilim, and the Nephilim brought forth [or "slew"] the Elioud. And they existed, increasing in power according to their greatness." See the account in the Book of Jubilees".
12Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; 13When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them; 14And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, (8) and to drink their blood.

Is Enoch intimating that these Nephilim were creating the half-human, half-animal
creatures appearing in numerous images throughout the world and what is
being done today in Genetics?
Human Skull on Display in French Museum Philadelphia. Human skulls with horns were discovered in a burial mound at Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in the 1880's. Horny projections extended two inches above the eye-brows, and the skeletons were seven feet tall, but other than that were anatomically normal. It was estimated that the bodies had been buried around A.D. 1200. |
The following is an excerpt from Patrick Heron's book "The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse"
| "An Egyptian historian named Manethos chronicled these times and wrote extensively on the legends of his country. He describes just such half-human, half-animal creatures and credits the gods with their creation. 'And they {the gods} were said to have brought forth double-winged human beings, also others with four wings and two faces; and with one body and two heads ...male and female within one creature; still other human beings had thighs of goats and horns upon their heads;... and other monsters, such as all kinds of dragon-like beings ..., whose images they ranged one beside the other in the Temple of Belos, and preserved'." |
(8) Their flesh one after another. Or, "one another’s flesh." R.H. Charles notes that this phrase may refer to the destruction of one class of giants by another (Charles, p. 65).
15Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.
Chapter 15
1Then addressing me, He spoke and said, Hear, neither be afraid, O righteous
Enoch, you scribe of righteousness: approach hither, and hear my voice. Go,
say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent you to pray for them, You ought
to pray for men, and not men for you.
2Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, which endures for ever, and have lain with women; have defile yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring? (23)
(23) An impious offspring. Literally, "giants" (Charles, p. 82; Knibb, p. 101).
3You being spiritual, holy, and possessing a life which is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in carnal blood; have lusted in the blood of men; and have done as those who are flesh and blood do.
4These however die and perish.
5Therefore have I given to them wives, that they might cohabit with them; that sons might be born of them; and that this might be transacted upon earth.
6But you from the beginning were made spiritual, possessing a life which is eternal, and not subject to death for ever.
7Therefore I made not wives for you, because, being spiritual, your dwelling is in heaven.
8Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. (24)
Chapter 16
1And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever their spirits depart from their
bodies, let their flesh, that which is perishable, be without judgment. (27)
Thus shall they perish, until the day of the great consummation of the great
world. A destruction shall take place of the Watchers and the impious.
(27) Let their flesh…be without judgment. Or, "their flesh shall be destroyed before the judgment" (Knibb, p. 102).

The Days of Noah Perhaps the most direct prophetic reference involving these things was the peculiar warning of our Lord Jesus Himself: "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man". Luke 17:26
He also warned: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken". Luke 21:25,26 |
