Puzzling Risk - a necessary step

Puzzling Risk: The risk that the solution to the puzzle will confront a politically correct obstruction. To evade this risk requires we confront it immediately – genetics is race; and the supremacy of any given race over all others is blatant racism of the type explained in scripture.

Looking to Genesis 6:1-4 we learn that, "And it came to pass (when Noah was 500 years old), when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, the sons of G-d saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.”

Thus we some form of divine being, whose DNA and reproductive abilities, are compatible with “normal folk” – no miracles, no great signs of power, simply beings, like those of “divine kings”, who were accepted as being descendent from a supernatural creator. Which leads to the explanation of a shortened life expectancy after the flood:
“And the Lord said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.’”

We are told, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of G-d came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, men of renown."

Let us take this from mythology into history. There was a flood which entered into the legends of many peoples – we know that, some eight thousands years ago, the Mediterranean saw a sea level change which flooded the Adriatic between Italy and Croatia (the Dinaric Mountains) .

This is the same period when agriculture first evolved, and appeared in the Levant – the Fertile Crescent – and it also coincides with the estimated date of emergence of the Shreknangst R1a Haplogroup.

In actuality, the period between “Adam & Eve” – the first gardening family – the flood and R1a emergence correlate rather nicely. Which then begs the addition of the association between R1a and writing – so the stories, which became myths, could be recorded.

One issue is the definition, or identification, of “Nephilim.” We are told, “Nephilim” before and after the divine mating period which resulted in humanity having its life span reduced nearly 90 percent.

In Hebrew, “Nephilim” mean “those causing others to fall,” and so challenges the idea that these were giants, Titans, or the children of the divine sons. The latter being especially true, within the context of them existing both before Genesis 6:1-4 events.

It is proposed – by some Talmudic tradition – that “Nephilim” are divine “watchers”; this theory would place them outside the realm of floods and other earthly events. However, they most certainly were not the “sons of G-d” who mated with women; nor could they be the offspring.

The Hebrew meaning begs an contextual reference – the word might equate to those who do not know the deity. It is an interpretation that is consistent with all religious views of “others.” In a perverse way, it addresses the problem of where did the children of Adam & Eve locate spouses. Could these “Nephilim” be non-agricultural peoples, nomadic hunters as opposed to shepherds? Or possibly, non-Levant associated race? Maybe even those we call Neanderthal.

Yes we are addressing race – and moving toward addressing the idea of an Aryan Race. Yes, even moving toward visualizing this race as being identifiable in both history and yDNA – but not as the Nazis would have had it.

Quite the contrary, at this point in the research, it appears that the Nazi were seeking to exterminate those who were, in fact, the ancient Aryan – the superior race – which they wished they were.
