The Division: Giants After the Flood and the Nations Divided
After the Flood · c. 3000–1000 BCE
This series asks what history looks like if the old texts are records, not myths. Each claim rests on a quoted text. It is a reading, not an established fact.
Some of the giant bloodline survives, just as Genesis says the Nephilim were there "and also after that." Their descendants are the Anakim, next to whom Israel's spies felt like grasshoppers, Og with his iron bed, and Goliath's family with six fingers. Nimrod "began to be a mighty one," using the same word as the old hybrids, and builds Babel. The council comes down, scatters humanity's languages, and ends the project.
Then Earth is divided. The oldest copy of Deuteronomy says the nations were assigned "according to the number of the sons of God," one overseer for each people. That is why Daniel's angel is held up for three weeks by "the prince of Persia." The dead giants' spirits stay behind, as Enoch predicted, and a tenth of them are left loose under Mastema. Arabia knows them as the jinn: made of smokeless fire, older than us, and still trying to listen at the edge of heaven.
What the texts say
We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days.
The giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth.
And the jinn did He create of smokeless fire.
