We also know there had begun to be offspring on the earth with mixedīlood - those with blood of the Serpent (such as Cain). The word seed, in this above verse, means “semen virile ” hence “offspring,” “posterity,” and “descendants.” We know there were groups of human beings with truly human blood: Adam, the Adamites, and other pre-Adamites. Thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel… - Gen. Thus God judged the Earth with the flood.Īnd I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed it shall bruise The Nephilim giants spread violence and sin that: “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Humanity was on the verge of being wiped out with no hope of being saved from sin if every person born became part fallen angel. In addition to causing violence and sin in the world, the Nephilim were also corrupting the human bloodline. These were ‘men’ of superhuman ability and strength. It is as if the Bible is indicating that when the reader hears of legends of “demigods”, titans or legendary heroes who were part god, that this is who those “myths” were referring to. It is also interesting to note that the Bible calls them “men of renown.” The Hebrew word here, shem, refers to being famous and legendary. Having been born of corrupted, Satanic angels they dominated the Earth and filled it with violence. The offspring from this illicit union between angels and human women were giants who “became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” (Genesis 6) The fact that they were giants, is also proof in and of itself that their parentage was superhuman. The light of the museum display emphasizes this and I wanted to keep that look in this drawing, giving it a more stereotypical look of an extinct hominid.ĭrawn on my Galaxy Note 9 phone using Autodesk Sketchbook for Mobile. I have thought the Kabwe skull has an exaggerated "Halloween" look due to the shape of the brow ridge. I drew this one based on my photo of a replica in the Chicago's Field Museum and have included the pic in this digital drawing. I keep drawing this skull and have a few other reconstructions of it in my Paleoart Album. "Kabwe 1 (also called the Broken Hill skull, Rhodesian Man) is a Middle Paleolithic fossil assigned by Arthur Smith Woodward in 1921 as the type specimen for Homo rhodesiensis, now mostly considered a synonym of Homo heidelbergensis.Ī new technique applied to the skull allowed quarter millimeter thick fragments to be removed and the skull therefore dated directly, with the new estimated age range, published in 2020, being 324,000 to 274,000 years ago." A competing theory cites the lack of small bones in the assemblage and suggests that the remains were washed into the pit by natural agencies. The excavators suggest that the concentration of bones in the pit may represent the practice of burial by the inhabitants of the cave. The "Sima de los huesos" contains abundant human remains representing around 30 skeletons of the species Homo heidelbergensis, a direct ancestor of the Neanderthals. The fossils there have a minimum age of 350,000 years old, corresponding to the Middle Pleistocene. This site is located at the bottom of a 13 metre (50 foot) deep chimney reached by scrambling through the cave system of the Cueva Mayor. The most famous site in Atapuerca is the " Sima de los Huesos" (The pit of bones). The excavation of several sites in the late 20th century has found human remains from a wide range of ages ranging from early humans (either Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, or a more recently-identified species called Homo antecessor) to the Bronze Age and the modern man. It is excavated by a team led jointly by Eudald Carbonell, José María Bermúdez de Castro and Juan Luis Arsuaga.Īccording to José María Bermúdez de Castro, co-director of research at an archeological site in Atapuerca in June 2007, findings have uncovered " anatomical evidence of the hominids that fabricated tools more than one million years ago": first, a tooth and then a fragment of jawbone, which may be the earliest European hominid. Atapuerca is a Spanish town in the province of Burgos, Castile-Leon, that gives name to the Sierra de Atapuerca or Sierra Atapuerca, an ancient karstic region of Spain, containing several caves such as the Gran Dolina site, where fossils and stone tools of the earliest known hominids in Europe have been found.
