Additionally, Mount Hermon is associated with the Genesis narrative of the Nephilim, beings described as offspring of angels and humans.
If the Aryans are the Japhetic race, and if Japheth was one of the sons of the patriarch who escaped from the Deluge, then assuredly, if the tradition of Genesis be true, the Aryans came from the drowned land, to wit, Atlantis.
According to Genesis, the descendants of the Japheth who escaped out of the Flood with Noah are the Ionians, the inhabitants of the Morea, the dwellers on the Cilician coast of Asia Minor, the Cyprians, the Dodoneans of Macedonia, the Iberians, and the Thracians.
Noah, according to Genesis, had three sons--Shem, Ham, and Japheth--who represented three different races of men of different colors.
This is the name (Javan) found in the tenth chapter of Genesis." (Lenormant and Chevallier, "Ancient History of the East," vol.
Here, too, we have the Pillars of Hercules, supposed to have been placed at the mouth of the Mediterranean, and the tree of life or knowledge, with the serpent twined around it, which appears in Genesis; and in the combination of the two pillars and the serpent we have, it is said, the original source of our dollar mark [$].
We find a confirmation in all these facts of the order in which Genesis names the sons of Noah:
The record of Genesis claims that the Phœnicians were descended from Ham, while the Hebrews were descended from Shem; yet we find the Hebrews and Phœnicians united by the ties of a common language, common traditions, and common race characteristics.
Moreover, the Arabians, who are popularly classed as Semites, or sons of Shem, admit in their traditions that they are descended from "Ad, the son of Ham;" and the tenth chapter of Genesis classes them among the descendants of Ham, calling them Seba, Havilah, Raamah, etc.
If we add to these three races the negro race--which cannot be traced back to Atlantis, and is not included, according to Genesis, among the descendants of Noah--we have the four races, the white, red, yellow, and black, recognized by the Egyptians as embracing all the people known to them.
There seems to be some confusion in Genesis as to the Semitic stock.
36.) Is it not more reasonable to suppose that the so-called Semitic races of Genesis were a mere division of the Hamitic stock, and that we are to look for the third great division of the sons of Noah among the Turanians?

Genesis 7: Noah flood spine for comparative deluge reading.
The Biblical account of the Deluge, contained in the sixth to the ninth chapters of Genesis, is of course familiar to us all, so I will only give the outline of the narrative.
According to the Book of Genesis, as man mutiplied on the earth, the whole race turned to evil, except the family of Noah.
The dimensions of the vessel in the inscription are unfortunately lost by a fracture which has broken off both numbers; the passage, which is otherwise complete, shows that the dimensions were expressed in cubits as in the Biblical account, but while Genesis makes the ark 50 cubits broad and 30 cubits high, the inscription states that the height and breadth were the same.
The description of the filling of the ark agrees in general with the two other accounts, but it differs from Genesis in not mentioning the sevens of clean animals and in including others beside the family of the builder.
According to the account in the Book of Genesis, the Flood commenced on the seventeenth day of the second month, the ark rested on Ararat after one hundred and fifty days on the seventeenth day of the seventh month, and the complete drying up of the Flood was not until the twenty seventh day of the second month in the following year.
On this point it must be remarked that some Biblical critics consider that there are two versions of the Flood story in Genesis itself, and that these two differ as to the duration of the Flood.
The Book of Genesis states that the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat.
According to the Book of Genesis, a raven was sent out first, which did not return; a dove was sent next, which finding no resting place returned to Noah.
Thus, the inscription agrees with the Bible as to the sending out of the raven and dove, but adds to these the trial of the swallow, which is not in Genesis.
In the number of the trials it agrees with Berosus, who has three, while Genesis has four.
On the other hand there is no mention of the dove returning with an olive leaf, as in Genesis, and of the birds having their feet stained with Mud, as in Berosus.
The Book of Genesis, as it stood in the Eguptian records, was written by Akaboth and Dueram and Hazed, and was the substance from which Ezra copied it through his scribes, even as it is to this day.
The inspiration of Genesis was from the God, Osiris, the false, and his emissaries, chief of whom were Yotabba and Egupt, who were angel servants to Osiris.

The topic centers on "Decoding the Elohim of Genesis."
Genesis begins with the account of the Elohim creating the heavens and the Earth in seven days.
The Elohim of Genesis corresponds with the Anunnaki of Sumerian mythology, who are described as the "family of Anu."
The Elohim of Genesis are identified as fallen angels, linked to the Anunnaki of Sumer.
Mauro Biglino highlights Seth's birth, noting the repeated use of the phrase "in the image and likeness" in Genesis.
In Genesis 14, Abraham swears an oath before Elon, a title meaning "the one above." This title was later conflated with Yahweh in the Masoretic text, but older texts, such as the Qumran manuscripts, distinguish between the two.
The patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel after his encounter with the divine (Genesis 32:28), became the eponymous ancestor of the Israelites.
In Genesis 14:18–20, for example, Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High, blesses Abram and names God as the “possessor of heaven and earth.”
Rob explores the intersection of biblical genealogies, specifically Genesis 5, 10, and 11, with modern genetics.
Rob raises skepticism regarding attempts to directly map the genealogies in Genesis to modern genetics, citing the impacts of migrations, wars, and cultural changes.
He suggests that current Y chromosome data may not directly reflect ancient populations from Genesis 10 and 11.
Rob explores whether the genealogies in Genesis could align with genetic data, specifically by comparing the genealogies with the Y chromosome family tree.
He recently developed a new graphical representation of the Genesis 10 and 11 genealogies, displaying them in a radial format with Noah at the center, radiating outward to show descendants.

Charles Lyell, a geologist who supported the concept of an ancient Earth, faced strong criticism from religious leaders who viewed his theories as direct contradictions of the Bible’s Genesis account.
Rob Skiba introduces the topic by referring to the Genesis 6 event, which he calls the "Genesis 6 experiment." He notes that researcher David Flynn identified this location as 33.33 degrees east from the Paris prime meridian and 33.33 degrees north.
Mount Hermon is described as the place where the Nephilim were born, referenced in Genesis 6:4.
Skiba addresses the controversial interpretation of the "sons of God" in Genesis 6, challenging the popular theological view that these were the descendants of Seth.
He points to the consistency between Genesis 6 and 1 Enoch 6, where the "sons of God" are clearly identified as angels.
He rejects the idea that these were human descendants, emphasizing that the phrase clearly points to angels, as confirmed by early Jewish texts like the Book of Job and Genesis.
Both Peter and Jude make reference to angels who sinned and were bound, which Skiba links directly to the angels in Genesis 6.
Skiba estimates that the Genesis 6 event took place around 3550 BCE.
By comparing Genesis with other ancient texts like Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees, Skiba finds evidence of the Nephilim’s influence before the flood.
He argues that Genesis does not specify who assisted Noah, leaving room for the possibility that angels, as mentioned in Enoch, could have helped.
He argues that the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis 6:4 were from the days of Jared, not Noah.
The discussion moves to the Tower of Babel, described in Genesis 11, where the people, under Nimrod's leadership, attempted to build a tower "whose top may reach unto heaven." Skiba addresses the widely held interpretation that the Tower of Babel was not about height but about spiritual rebellion, such as attempting to reach God or create a Stargate.
Rob Skiba discusses Genesis 6, focusing on verse 4, which mentions the Nephilim being present both "in those days and also after that." This event occurred during the time of Jared on Mount Hermon, based on information found in texts such as Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees.
Skiba refers to these as "biblically endorsed extra-biblical texts" because the biblical authors reference or infer from these works, which synchronize with the chronology of Genesis.
He compiled these texts alongside Genesis to highlight their correlation and the differences between the King James Bible and the Septuagint.
Using a timeline derived from various scholars and personal research, Skiba estimates the Genesis 6 experiment occurred around 3550 BCE, not long after the creation of the world.
Skiba argues that Genesis 6:1-18 describes not only the angelic-human unions but also the widespread genetic corruption that resulted from these unions.
Genesis 6:12 mentions that "all flesh had corrupted its way upon the Earth," referring to both humans and animals.
He believes the Nephilim returned through the post-flood genetic manipulation described in Genesis 6:3 and reflected in the cultures of the Canaanites.
The discussion begins with Genesis 11, where the earth had one language, and the people gathered in the plains of Shinar under Nimrod's leadership.
In this video, Paul Wallis explores the events surrounding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as narrated in the Book of Genesis.
Wallis begins by explaining that, in the traditional reading of Genesis, Yahweh is displeased with the behavior of the people in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
He emphasizes that the destruction described in Genesis bears a strong resemblance to the effects of advanced weaponry.
And here we find a tradition which not only points to Atlantis, but also shows some kinship to the legend in Genesis of the tree and the serpent.
Bryant says, "Ad and Ada signify the first." The Persians called the first man "Ad-amah." "Adon" was one of the names of the Supreme God of the Phœnicians; from it was derived the name of the Greek god "Ad-onis." The Arv-ad of Genesis was the Ar-Ad of the Cushites; it is now known as Ru-Ad.

Paul Wallis opens by suggesting that the stories in the Bible, particularly in the first 11 chapters of Genesis, are not continuous but rather a collection of separate stories that have been fused together.
Wallis argues that Genesis 1 is not a creation story but a story about the rehabilitation of Earth.
He emphasizes that this is the first of three flood stories in the early chapters of Genesis, and notes that two different flood narratives have been combined in Genesis 6.
Wallis continues by explaining that Genesis includes two distinct stories about the creation of humanity, one describing the upgrade of human beings.
This is all within the first 11 chapters of Genesis.
He references the later chapters in Genesis, where different kinds of human beings are described, specifically a smooth-skinned person and a hairy, physically stronger person.
Vishnu became a fish; and after the Deluge, when the waters had subsided, he recovered the holy books from the bottom of the ocean." Berosus, speaking of the time before the Deluge, says: "Oannes wrote concerning the generations of mankind and their civil polity." The Hebrew commentators on Genesis say, "Our rabbins assert that Adam, our father of blessed memory, composed a book of precepts, which were delivered to him by God in Paradise." (Smith's "Sacred Annals," p.
It has been suggested that without the use of letters it would have been impossible to preserve the many details as to dates, ages, and measurements, as of the ark, handed down to us in Genesis.
The Hebrews carried out from the common storehouse of their race a mass of traditions, many of which have come down-to us in that oldest and most venerable of human compositions, the Book of Genesis.
But we can go farther, and it can be asserted that there is scarcely a prominent fact in the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis that cannot be duplicated from the legends of the American nations, and scarcely a custom known to the Jews that does not find its counterpart among the people of the New World.

In Genesis the first man is represented as naked.
The legends of the Old World which underlie Genesis, and were used by Milton in the "Paradise Lost," appear in the Mexican legends of a war of angels in heaven, and the fall of Zou-tem-que (Soutem, Satan--Arabic, Shatana?) and the other rebellious spirits.
We have seen that the Central Americans possessed striking parallels to the account of the Deluge in Genesis.
But the resemblances between Genesis and the American legends do not stop here.

Nay, it should teach us to regard the Book of Genesis with increased veneration, as a relic dating from the most ancient days of man's history on earth; its roots cross the great ocean; every line is valuable; a word, a letter, an accent may throw light upon the gravest problems of the birth of civilization.
And here, again, we are reminded of the expression in Genesis,
