Thanks for sharing it.

Very good scholarly overview of it.

Why couldnt the original writers of the Bible be more clear in their descriptions of things?

Saving us these thousands of years of debate over WTF they were talking about?

In my short fantasy story, I made the "sons of God" to be the sons of YHWH and Asherah.

Fields of the Nephilim is a goth band.

Of course...we all KNOW that the Nephalim were the spawn of alien astronauts, and that they were the ancestors of all autisitc and aspie folks today!

There are some interesting parallels of giants in ancient cultures, traditions and histories of nearly every culture on earth.

Basically the same story. Gods came to earth from the stars. They mated with daughters of man. Their children were giants. The giants were killed long ago. Sound familiar?

There are some interesting conspiracies, A compelling one is that from the 19th to early 20th century, US universities were funded and even published archaeological studies in journals and newspapers on giants found from digs. The skeletons were deposited in the Smithsonian Institute. Modern attempts to examine these "Nephilim" have resulted in the Smithsonian saying no such skeletons exist.

While claims have been debunked

I seems strange why prominent academics in this era were funded to look into giants in the first place?
