About This Episode
What if the stories of giants, lost civilizations, and advanced builders weren’t just myths? In this powerful clip, we discuss Baalbek’s massive stones, the Watchers from ancient texts, the mysterious Nephilim, and why parts of history may have been quietly edited out of the mainstream narrative. From the Temple of Jupiter’s impossible stone lifts to strange artifacts hidden away, this conversation explores why our history might be far stranger — and more fascinating — than we’ve been taught.

And I find it really strange that I mean I'm not a a a religious person in in a specific group, but I've read enough texts and the Bible is very interesting at the beginning. It's like Genesis is like there were giants in those times, great mighty men of renown. Anyway, moving on and never goes back to it again. And it's just like that's a really weird thing to put right at the beginning. Like FYI, there were giants. They were around. They were doing crazy things. And anyway, we're going to get past that now and continue on with the book. And it's like okay. And if you look at the um uh like the watchers, the whole idea of like the Nephilim or the Watchers from the Book of Enoch, they supposedly came down on Mount Hernand in Lebanon. And Lebanon is where you have Balbeck, which is the incredible quarry where you've got these, you know, 1,000 to 1,800 ton limestone blocks that have been quarried out of the ground. They haven't been moved, but they were quarried apparently with some form of intention to use them. And then just down the road from this quarry in Balbeck, you have the temple of Jupiter, which is attributed to first century Romans. But the foundation stones of the Temple of Jupiter, including these stones that have been lifted about 30 m into the uh into the air and placed above some other ones are about about 800 tons or 800 to a,000 tons, the trilithan stones, these three stones. And um the heaviest recorded lift from first century Romans was the uh Lateran obelisk from Alexandria to Rome that weighed about 400 to 450 tons. That's the heaviest lift that the Romans ever recorded. But apparently they did Balbeck as well where you've got 800 to,000 tons, but they just never bothered to say anything even though that's incredibly impressive and beyond anything else they ever did. So again it's like you know of course you find in the temple of Jupiter in Balbeck evidence of first century Roman building but they assume that then okay the whole thing must be Roman even though the foundations contradict what the Romans were capable of doing and again you find that all over the world but it's interesting that the whole watchers Nephilim story puts Lebanon on the map and then in Lebanon you have quite literally the most impressive examples of colossal blocks in the world. um you know what was going on there. Maybe this really was ground zero for some form of intelligence that was giant in stature and capable of lifting these things. You know, there's references to giants in the iconography of Egypt and different temple sites you go to. You find like you know the the large um uh pharaohs and other quite kind of almost Atlantan looking beings holding strange technologies of some form or like you know the big light bulb motif which is very famous. the uh the infamous light bulb which you can find in the temple of Dendara which I've seen myself and it's so weird when you're actually looking at it because it's such a internet culture captured image of this you know giant being holding what looks like a light bulb and these smaller beings preying underneath it but you find that all over the world you know these these kind of like references to giants Gilgamesh holding a lion like it's a cat you know the statues of him just holding these lions like this like it's nothing and again like the mainstream way of kind of dismissing that is Oh, they were giants of, you know, intellectual stature, giants of power. You know, it was >> metaphorically >> horrible. It was it wasn't real. But, uh, I I don't know, man. I think that there's a lot of, uh, a lot of argument to say that there could have been something like this. And I would also say that there seems to have been relatively modernday coverups of that stuff in terms of bones and excavations of burial mounds and suspicious sizes of skeletons that have been quietly hurried away by the Smithsonian and other institutes like this. So yeah, I I think that we don't know our own history and maybe some of it would really freak us out. >> I don't get it. Why would they hide the giant bones? Why would they do that? Like why get them away? You know what I mean? Like cuz I think because they're obviously not here now, like wherever they were if they were here, it doesn't seem like they're at least present in our day-to-day. And so what is the what is the motive for kind of doing that? I'm with you though. Like it the only it makes sense that larger somethings built these larger somethings like why would small people build such large things and go to such great lengths for that. We don't do that today and we consider ourselves to be like the pinnacle of science and everything and we we don't even have aspirations of doing these things. >> Well, it's like I don't know maybe it's like theologically influenced in terms of you know who controlled the doctrine and the dogma as it went through various transformations over time. I mean, you look at the Bible and like the council of Nika and different elements throughout history where they edited and changed and removed things and created the Apocrythia, the books that get rejected and not in the original cannon. And I think that maybe I mean, who knows, right? We really don't know. But if there really were giant beings and there was perhaps this great flood that essentially reset the world, it might be viewed as an error, a time to be forgotten, right? like we're going to forget about this time where we had these terrible giant beings that were ruining things for humans and cuz there's a lot of stories that make it sound like we weren't really in a very fair relationship. Like they abused and raided and attacked us and some liked us and some didn't like us and it was a real kind of dynamic between you know us and these demigods or whatever you want to look at them as. And so perhaps it's a a period of history that in some subconscious way was just kind of ignored and maybe theologically they just reinforce that by removing the texts and getting rid of the scriptures that spoke about this in too much detail. And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the uh you know the somewhat 50 miles or so of shelving that the Vatican has underneath of it for the secret archives, the apostolic archives, I'm sure they've got a few things down there about Nephilim and giant beings. And I think it just comes down to who's controlling the narrative like anytime, right? And like anything, whether it's politics or history or theology, who's controlling the story. And if you're writing the Bible or if you're deciding what gets taken in and out, then perhaps there was an incentive to not talk about these very strange things that we couldn't explain and we didn't really understand the ancient texts. What were they referring to? Kings that lived for thousands of years. I don't understand. And you know, it was just like, get rid of this. It's too confusing.
