✦ THE THREE TIERS OF GIANTS & THE PAGAN DEIFICATION OF HERCULES & GILGAMESH ✦

The Judicial Witness Against Pagan Deification

“And the Giants slew the Naphil, and the Naphil slew the Elyo, and the Elyo mankind, and one another… and the earth was filled with wickedness and all flesh corrupted its way upon the earth.”
— Yoḇelim (Jubilees) 7:22
“And there were born to them three sorts: the first were great giants, and the giants begat the Nephilim, and to the Nephilim were born the Ĕli’uḏ. And they were growing according to their greatness.”
— Ḥanoḵ (1 Enoch) 7:2 (Greek/Ethiopic Manuscript Deposition)


1. Do the Names “Hercules” and “Gilgamesh” Appear in Scripture?

No. The literal names “Hercules” (Heracles) and “Gilgamesh” do NOT appear anywhere in the inspired Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets, the Writings, or the restored Hebraic scrolls.

  • Absolute Scriptural Absence: Neither “Hercules” (derived from Greco-Roman solar myth and the worship of Hera) nor “Gilgamesh” (from the cuneiform tablets of Uruk and Sumerian king lists) is mentioned by name in Berĕshith (Genesis), Yoḇelim (Jubilees), Ḥanoḵ (1 Enoch), or the Tanakh.
  • The Pagan Mythological Rebrand: Hercules and Gilgamesh are pagan mythological stories and deified fables. They represent the post-flood pagan inversion of real, historical antediluvian monstrosities:
    • When the seventy nations were scattered at Babel into linguistic confusion (Berĕshith 11), the memory of the immense physical power, colossal mega-architecture, tyrannical warfare, and illicit knowledge of the pre-flood Watcher hybrids survived in oral tradition.
    • Rather than recording the truth—that these creatures were lawless, genetically defiled abominations who cannibalized mankind and brought down the righteous water-judgment of Yahuah—the apostate nations inverted the narrative.
    • They turned defiled monsters into “demigods” (part-god, part-human), “mighty hunters,” civilizers, and heroic kings to be worshipped.

2. The Three Generational Tiers of Hybridization

The restored scrolls in Ḥanoḵ 7:2, Yoḇelim 7:21–25, and the Dead Sea Scrolls Book of Giants (4Q203, 4Q530) establish that the pre-flood giants were not a uniform monolithic race, but a three-generation biological descent:

Tier 1: The Great Giants / Gibborim (Naphidim)

  • Genetic Composition: The direct first-generation hybrid progeny resulting from the 200 fallen Watchers (Bene Ha’Elohim) physically cohabiting with mortal human women on Mount Hermon (Yoḇelim 4:15, 5:1–2).
  • Scriptural Anatomy: Berĕshith 6:4 terms them the Gibborim (גִּבֹּרִים - mighty ones / tyrants) and the “men of the name” (Anshei Ha’Shem - translated in Western Bibles as “men of renown”).
  • Colossal Stature & Dominion: Possessing direct celestial angelic genetics mixed with human biological matter, these entities grew to massive statures, built early megalithic foundations, and subjugated all human kingdoms under tyrannical rule.

Tier 2: The Nephilim (Naphil / Naphidim)

  • Genetic Composition: The second-generation offspring produced when the first-generation Gibborim bred among themselves and with the daughters of men.
  • Scriptural Anatomy: Derived from the Hebrew root Naphal (נָפַל - “to fall”, “to cast down”, or “those who cause the earth to fall into ruin”).
  • The Blueprint for Mythological “Heroes”:
    • Because these second-generation hybrids possessed a fraction of angelic traits coupled with mortal frailty, they were celebrated in pagan tales as “two-thirds divine and one-third human”—the exact formula recorded on the cuneiform tablets for Gilgamesh of Uruk.
    • Greek mythology mapped this tier directly onto Hercules (Heracles)—celebrated as the mortal son of the sky god “Zeus” who achieved immortal glory through violent deeds of strength, slaying beasts, and defying the natural order.
    • In the courtroom of Yahuah, these “exploits” were not noble heroics, but acts of lawless violence, bloodlust, and genetic rebellion against the creation boundaries of Genesis 1.

Tier 3: The Ĕli’uḏ (Elyo)

  • Genetic Composition: The third-generation cross-breeds produced from the Nephilim lines.
  • Scriptural Anatomy: Explicitly designated in Ḥanoḵ 7:2 as the Ĕli’uḏ (Ἐλιούδ) and in Yoḇelim 7:22 as the Elyo.
  • Genetic Degeneration & Cannibalism:
    • As genetic corruption multiplied across generations without heavenly stability, severe cellular and physical mutations set in.
    • When the agricultural output of the human race could no longer sustain their monstrous caloric demands, the scrolls record that they turned inward:

      “And the Giants slew the Naphil, and the Naphil slew the Elyo, and the Elyo mankind, and one another they devoured… and they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood.” (Ḥanoḵ 7:4–5)

    • Pagan mythology rebranded this horrifying period of cannibalistic slaughter as the Titanomachy (the war of gods and titans) and preserved memories of the Ĕli’uḏ in folklore as ogres, cyclopes, ghouls, and man-eating trolls.

3. The Comparative Forensic Matrix: Scriptural Deposition vs. Pagan Mythology

The following matrix contrasts the divine historical record with the inverted pagan fables:

Forensic AttributeHebraic Scriptural Deposition (Enoch, Jubilees, Genesis)Pagan Mythological Inversion (Babylon, Greece, Rome)
Origin of HybridsLawless angelic treason by 200 Watchers on Mount Hermon (Jude 1:6; 1 Enoch 6).Romantic liaisons of gods with mortal women (Zeus, Shamash, Lugalbanda).
Character of the GiantsGenetically defiled, violent tyrants devouring human labor and flesh.”Heroes of old,” noble protectors, culture-bringers, and valiant conquerors.
Hercules (Heracles)An unmentioned mythological rebrand of 2nd-tier Gibborim/Nephilim violence.Celebrated hero completing 12 labors, son of Zeus, worshipped as a god.
Gilgamesh of UrukAn unmentioned Mesopotamian mythological elevation of an antediluvian tyrant.”Two-thirds god, one-third human” king seeking immortality in the Netherworld.
Transgenic HybridizationSinning against beasts, birds, and fish (chimeras / abomination).Honored mythological beings: Minotaurs, Centaurs, Pegasus, and Sphinxes.
Final Judicial SentenceComplete slaughter of physical bodies; souls become wandering demons (Shēdim).Deification in the stars; eternal constellations named in their honor.

4. The Fate of the Hybrids: Physical Annihilation & Wandering Spirits

The physical bodies of the three tiers of giants were completely wiped from the earth:

  1. Mutual Slaughter (Year 120 Before the Flood): Yahuah dispatched the Archangels to release mutual hostility among the tribes of giants, causing them to exterminate one another in battle before the eyes of their imprisoned Watcher fathers (Ḥanoḵ 10:9–10).
  2. The Great Deluge (Year 1656 AM): The catastrophic waters of the Flood submerged the highest mountains, eradicating every remaining hybrid organism and cleansing the soil of their blood (Berĕshith 7:19–23).
  3. The Origin of Demons (Shēdim): Because they were hybrid entities born of heavenly Watchers and earthly women, their disembodied souls could not ascend to heaven nor rest in the peaceful sleep of Sheol. They were sentenced to wander the dry places of the earth as hungry, thirsty, tormenting evil spirits (Ḥanoḵ 15:8–12, Yoḇelim 10:1–5).

5. Summary: Courtroom Verdict

  • The Reality: The three tiers of Watcher offspring—Gibborim (Giants), Nephilim (Naphil), and Ĕli’uḏ (Elyo)—are historical, biological facts documented in heaven’s legal archives.
  • The Deception: “Hercules” and “Gilgamesh” are fictitious pagan titles and mythological fables. They take the blood-soaked terror of pre-flood Nephilim warlords and rebrand them into heroic demigods to divert mankind from recognizing the righteous judgment of Yahuah.
