The Book of Enoch & the Nephilim: Did Genesis Once Have No Flood? #bookofenoch #nephilim

The Book of Enoch, the Nephilim and a claim from JRE #2562: did Genesis once have no flood? We test Dan McClellan's argument against the ancient texts. From Gilgamesh and Atrahasis to Genesis 6, the 200 Watchers on Mount Hermon, the giants of 1 Enoch and the spirits that became demons, this documentary traces how the flood and the Nephilim may have been layered onto Genesis, and why the full Book of Enoch survived only in Ethiopia. McClellan's view is a scholarly hypothesis, not a found manuscript: we show what the texts say, where scholars disagree, and what is still speculation.
