The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley
Page 14
On the mound near the southeast corner of the Lenox tract, several large mulberry trees were growing when the locality first became settled by white men, and for many years it was known as "Mulberry Hill"
The uniform character of these mounds and their close resemblance to what are recognized as ancient earthworks, perhaps entitle them to a place in that category, although they have hitherto-escaped the attention of our archaeologist.
The fact that there are gravel-beds, more or less extensive, in each, has led to the opening of one of them, the central mound on the Lenox farm for the repairing of the roads. During the progress of these excavations, human bones have, from time to time, been exhumed. Several years ago, a skeleton of gigantic proportions was unearthed and bones have been found in several different parts of the mound.

4 Skeletons Found
Noblesville, Ind., Dec. 28-(AP)-The skeletons of four men, believed to have been pre-historic mound builders, one measuring six feet six inches, were unearthed by road builders. Indiana History Buletin Vol., III, Oct. 1925
The South Bend Tribune of October 4, contains an announcement of the discovery of important
prehistoric remains in St. Joseph County. This announcement is confirmed by a letter from John D.
Hibberd, Secretary of the Northern Indiana Historical Society. the circumstances are as follows: Carl Litchfield of Teegarden, and Jesse Litchfield, who lives just north of Teegarden, recently
excavated a mound on the farm of,Grove Vosburg some three miles north of Walkerton. The mound is
reputed to be of great antiquity and this seems to be confirmed by the memory the owner of the farm
has of an oaktree a yard in diameter formerly growing on top which fell down abut twenty years ago.
The mound was at one time about 25 feet high but in recent years its height has been decreased. At a
depth of about 12 feet, the Litchfields found eight skeletons buried in an arrangement somewhat like
the spokes of a wheel with their heads toward the center. In the skull of one of the skeletons said to be
of large size, a fine flint arrow was embedded. With this same skeleton several places of copper were
found. The excavation also brought to light a number of other articles, bands beads, etc., and two pipe
bowls, one smooth, the other elaborately carved.

History of Bay County, 1883 One of the highest elevations in Bay County is the mound or ridge at the east approach to the Lafayette avenue bridge. In 1905 we find on it the massive buildings of the Bay City Brewing Company, a hotel, livery stable, the venerable old McCormick homestead, and, on the northern spur, the palatial home of Ex-mayor George D Jackson. The elevation comprises about two acres.... In excavating for the massive brewery, Indian skeletons were found four to five feet below the surface, while five feet deeper down were found skeletons of another and apparently an older race, buried with oddly-formed burned pottery and quaint stone and copper implements. Some of these implements showed that this strange prehistoric people had the art of hardening copper, and of working in metals...In grading 22nd street, through the north end of this mound, three skeletons of very large stature were found at a depth of 11 feet, with large earthen pots placed at there head of each sarcophagus

When mounds are opened in most cases, it is impossible to determine from the reports whether the
skeletons found belong to original or intrusive burials. According to some accounts the skeletons
indicate a race of very inferior size; according to others, they show a race of giants. The elasticity of
these ancient relics, to suite the zeal of the narrator, is truly wonderful. On one occasion I accompanied
an old pioneer and worthy Judge to visit several mounds in Western Michigan. My guide gravely
informed me that, twenty years before, he had dug from one of these mounds a skeleton which, when
laid out upon the turf measured eleven feet, eight and three quarter inches, and a skull of which fitted
entirely over the judicial head!
Gazetteer of Michigan, 1839
In Bruce township, in the county of Macomb, on the north fork of the Clinton are several
(fortifications) The latter consist mostly of an irregular embankment, with a ditch on the outside, and
including from two to ten acres, with entrances, which were evidently gateways, and a mound on the
inside opposite each entrance. In the vicinity there are a number of mounds.
Several small mounds have been found on a bluff of the Clinton River, eight miles from Lake St. Clair.
In sinking the cellar of a building for a missionary, sixteen baskets full of human bones were found, of
a remarkable size.
History of Bay County, 1883
There are also four fortifications on the Rifle River, in Township Twenty-two north. They comprise
from three to six acres each, containing several mounds of large size. They are also situated on the
bluffs. The walls can yet be traced, and are from three to four feet high and from eight to ten feet wide,
with large trees growing on them. A friend of mine opened one of these mounds and took from it a
skeleton of a larger size than an ordinary person. He says he also saw several large mounds on the Au
Sable River
History of Bay County, 1883
Michael Daley, an old Indian trader of the Saginaw Valley, in speaking of the Indian mounds on the
rivers flowing into the Saginaw Bay, says: --'On the Rifle River, some distance from the mouth, there is
a regular ancient fort with mounds inside. This fort is located on the bluff, where it had a commanding
view of the surrounding country and was a very strong location. The outer walls and mounds were
overgrown with large pine trees three to four feet through.' He also at another time crossed from the
headwaters of the Rifle to the headwaters of the Au Sable with a party of Indians purchasing fur. On
their journey they camped near a beautiful little lake where they found a very large mound on its bank.
One of the party wanted to open it, but the rest of the Indians were very superstitious and did not want
it done. He however commenced the work; he had not dug long before he came to a large skeleton of
immense size. Mr. Daley says it was seven feet long, and the skull was nearly was nearly twice as
large as an ordinary person's.
History of Cass County, 1882
The largest mounds in the county are those upon the farm of Joseph Walter. Three beautiful and
regular mounds occur here, situated in a line from east to west. A short distance south of them is a well
defined ditch which forms a perfect horseshoe, measuring about one hundred and sixty feet in length by
one hundred feet in width. There is no trace of embankment in connection with the excavations. For
what purpose the horseshoe-shaped enclosure was made by the ancient people can, of course, only be
conjectured. There is no probability, however, that it was designed, as many suppose it to have been,
for work of defense.
One of the three large mounds, which have been mentioned, was excavated in September 1878, by Dr.
E.J. Bonine, of Niles, who operated under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution. It was a mound
about thirteen feet high (originally it must of greater altitude), and the diameter of its base was about
fifty feet. On the summit of the mound, within the memory of the settlers, stood a burr oak tree four
feet in diameter, and probably three hundred years old. A shaft was sunk by the excavators into the
center of the mound. was found to be composed throughout of the same soil as that of the surrounding
natural surfaces of the earth, the mounds simply being heaped over them, but in this case the interment
was several feet below the original level. Several skeletons were found, being those of men, women
and children, a number of fragments of pottery, a curious bone or ivory ornament, bearing some
resemblance to a walrus tooth, several amulets pierced with holes, through which thongs had doubtless
once been placed to attach them to the person, several bone implements and five copper hatchets of fine
edge and good formation. Portions of the skeletons were in a good state of preservation. The femur, or
thigh bone, of one of the males, which Dr. Bonine has now in his possession, is of great size and
indicates that its owner must have been at least seven feet in height.

The Rabbit River Mounds and Circles by H.D. Post We visited another burial mound near the Rabbit river, on the northeast quarter of section one, town three north, range fifteen west, Manlins, which measured twenty feet in diameter and three feet high, but found that it had already been dug open. The remains of a very large skeleton were near the surface.
History of Genesee County, Michigan
Another instance in the east part of the county, where a number of skeletons (also of large size) were
found buried in a circle directly beneath the stump of a gigantic pine-tree of the oldest growth; but in
both cases the finding of the bones was wholly accidental, as there was no mound or other surfacemark to indicate the places of burial.

Reported Discovery of a Huge Skeleton
From the Sauk Rapids (Minn.,) Sentinel, Dec. 18.
Day, before yesterday, while the quarrymen employed by the Sauk Rapids Water Power Company were engaged in quarrying rock for the dam which is being erected across the Mississippi, at that place, found imbeded in the solid granite rock the remains of a human being of gigantic status. About seven feet below the surface of the ground, and about three feet and a half beneath the upper stratum of rock, the remains were found imbeded in the sand, which had evidently been placed in the quadrangular grave which had been dug out of the solid rock to receive the last remains of this antediluvian giant. The grave was twelve feet in length, four feet wide, and about three feet in depth, and is to day at least two feet below the present level of the river. The remains are completely petrified, and are of gigantic dimensions. The head is massive, measures thirty-one and one- half inches in circumference but low in the front, and very flat on top. The Femur measures twenty-six and a quarter inches, and the Fibula, twenty- five and a half, while the body is equally long in proportion. From crown of the head to the sole of the foot, the length is ten feet nine and a half inches. The measure around the chest is ninetynine and a half inches. The giant must have weighed at least 900 pounds when covered with a reasonable amount of flesh. The petrified remains, and there is nothing left but the naked bones, now weigh 304 pounds. The thumb and fingers of the left hand, and the left foot from the ankle to the toes are gone; but all the other parts are perfect. Over the sepulcher of the unknown dead was placed a large flat limestone rock that remained perfectly separated from the surrounding granite rock.

The skeleton of a huge man was uncovered at the Beckley Farm, Lake Koronig, Minnesota. While at
Moose Island and Pine City, bones of other giants came to light.

Skeletons Of A Former Race Clear Water, Minn., June 29. -Charles Pinkerton of the town of Cortna, 12 miles from here, in digging for a cellar came across the remains of seven persons in a good state of preservation. They were found in a kind of mound were buried with their heads down, and were 7 to 8 feet in height, and must have been placed there at least 200 years ago, as on top of the mound was the stump of an old elm tree two feet in diameter. From the formation of the skulls they must have been of an inferior race of men. The teeth in the jawbones were mostly sound and not like the teeth of the present race of men.

Giant Skeletons In a Cave
Interesting Discovery by a Mexican Sheep Herder in Minnesota
St. Paul, Minn., June 16-Jose Herannda, a Mexican sheep herder in the employ of McLeod Brothers, while rounding up horses in the Sweet Grass Hills, twenty miles north of Columbus, Minn, discovered a large cave, the opening of which has been concealed by heavy underbrush. The cave, 70 feet in length, 35 feet in width, and 10 feet in height, was cut out of solid rock.
In the center, lying side by side, were the well-preserved skeletons of five human beings. These skeletons measure from 7 to 7 1-2 feet in length. Three knife blades evidently made of hardened copper, two bowls hollowed out of granite blocks, two stone hammer heads, and some broken fragments of pottery were also found in the cave.

Giant Indian Bones
Discovery of an Extraordinary Skeleton Near Fond du Lac
Fond du Lac, Wis., June 6-(Special)
An Indian skeleton was dug up on the farm of Matt and Joseph Leon, one mile south of St. Cloud, Sunday. There is nothing strange in finding an Indian skeleton, but this one was a giant in size, his frame measuring seven feet. He must have been a man of note among his people, for he was buried in a large mound, sixteen handsome arrows surrounding his body. The skull was brought to this city and is on exhibition in one of the Main street windows. Near the Huber gravel pit skeletons by the hundreds have been dug up for the past several years. Most of the bodies are in a sitting position, with their face towards the east, to face the rising sun.
Two Red Ochre skulls uncovered in Wisconsin. Skulls have archaic features of a prominent brow-ridges, sloping forehead, and a projecting upper jaw.
Wisconsin Archaeologist, Vol 45. The Sons of God and the Nephilim
The sons of God are mentioned in several times in the Book of Job. In one quote Satan is amongst
the sons. Job 1:6 “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the
Lord and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.” The sons are mentioned
again in the Book of Job; revealing that the sons were with God from the beginning. It also shows the
importance of math and geometry in the formation of the earth by God. It was this secret knowledge of
math and geometry, that the sons would later share with their giant offspring. Job 38:4 “Where were
you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. (5) Who determined
its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? (6) To what were its
foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, (7) when the morning stars sang together, and all
the sons of God shouted for joy.”
One of the most mysterious quotes in the Bible is found in Genesis 6:4 that mentions the sons of
God and their offspring of giants or Nephilim. Origins of the word “Nephilim” in the Greek version of
the Old Testament, called the Septuagint, renders the Hebrew term “Nephilim” as “giganates.” The
ancient writings indicate that the Nephilim were physically quite large; they were “giants.” The word,
which literally means “earth-born” or the “sons of Gaia,” that refers to a savage race destroyed by the
Gods of Greek mythology. Genesis 6:1-4 “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughter were born to them, (2) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. (3)And the Lord said, “My S
pirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years. (4) There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”
Key phrase is “of old,” meaning that in the distant past there were a race of giants. The angels
mating with women and creating a race of giants is further elaborated in the Book of Enoch. This is one of the many original texts of the Bible that over the years has been removed. Enoch was the son of
Jared and the great grandfather of Noah. He is given “angel” status in Genesis 5:24 ; “And Enoch
walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” This transformation happens when Enoch is 365
years old. The Book of Enoch. . Chapter 6: “And the angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.” And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: “I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: ' Let us swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqlel, Samapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel.” Chapter 7: And all the others together with them took themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants.”
