Nephilim

Figures mentioned in Genesis 6:1–4 and Numbers 13:33 of the Hebrew Bible (and elaborated in Second Temple texts such as 1 Enoch), whom modern Ancient Astronaut Theory equates with the Mesopotamian Anunnaki.

Core Themes

• In biblical and Enochic literature, offspring of the "sons of God" (Watchers) and human daughters before the flood.
• Translated by Zecharia Sitchin as "Those Who Came Down" and linked speculatively to the Sumerian Anunnaki (Nephilim Connection).
