The
Neanderthal Man and The Nephilim
Introduction
A speculative research paper examining current evidence available
on Neanderthal man with comparison to references in early manuscripts
of the Nephilim an ancient race of half-caste humans. The argument
is presented that the scientific facts verify that the Neanderthal
were in fact one and the same as the ancient warrior race the
Nephilim. It is proposed that an examination of the evidence and
facts currently available on Neanderthal man will reveal that
they could well have been this race of half-caste humans referred
to in some of the earliest manuscripts found as the Nephilim.
Background
Neanderthal man has become an enigma to science once being hailed
as the proof of the evolution of apes to modern man. He was considered
to be the brutish ancestor link to man in the evolution chain,
the intermediate stage between man and ape. Now! Neanderthal is
recognized by scientists as a contemporary of modern man living
alongside humans with many human attributes. But amazingly with
a LARGER brain than mans! Were they the Nephilim?
To address this question first we need to examine the current
facts and information available on Neanderthal man.
1. The Archaeological History of Neanderthal Finds
In 1856 workers in the Neander Valley near Duesseldorf, Germany
uncovered a skull and bones. The skull was unlike anything seen
before, with a flattened cranium with a heavy ridge above very
large eye sockets. Nearby, workers also uncovered an assortment
of thick and heavily fossilized bones. In succeeding years many
further specimens were found, not only in the German Neander Valley,
but in France, Italy, Iraq and Israel.
Controversy surrounded the interpretation of these fossils. Initially
a German Anatomist Rudolf Virchow examined the first discovery
and concluded they were Homo sapien with rickets, caused by a
deficiency of vitamin D. He considered that the flattened head
was caused by repeated powerful blows (his examination was done
pre Darwinism 1859 ).
When more finds came to light with what also appeared to be rickets,
it was considered far too much of a coincidence and for lack of
any other explanation they became relegated to a sub-human category.
The French paleontologist Marcellin Boule, concluded Neanderthals
walked stooped forward which fitted in with the then new current
thinking of Darwin's evolutionary theory of the origin of man
(the new assumptions were made post Darwinism 1859). For the next
fifty years this created the popular image of an ape-man intermediary
to man. Science thought it had the conclusive evidence it badly
needed showing the missing stage between ape and man.
Over one hundred years after first being found Boule's skeleton
was re-examined in 1957 and it was now determined that Neanderthals
walked upright and that the stooped posture suggested by Boule's
skeleton was caused by arthritis. More evidence from various caves
and digs have shown that Neanderthals wielded tools and weapons,
wore ornaments, had cultural and religious rites, ceremoniously
burying their dead.
2. The Neanderthal Brain Size
The greatest enigma found with Neanderthal is their brain size,
which is more than 13% larger than our own brain size. The average
Neanderthal brain measured 1,500 milliliters in volume compared
to less than 1,400 milliliters for humans current worldwide average.
This brain size allowed for large cerebral hemispheres. Neanderthals
were intelligent thinkers. Yet they left almost no permanent record
of their presumed intelligence or culture. Some say he could walk
the streets today in a suit collar and tie and be unrecognised,
well maybe in New York, but about as unrecognisable as the incredible
hulk without his green paint, would be a fairer reflection. Yet
today study books continue to be full of illustrations of Neanderthals
as subhuman ape-men. Out of date TV documentaries go on wrongly
depicting Neanderthals as the evolutionary ape-man link.
3. The Physical Features of Neanderthal
Neanderthals were physically very strong and unquestionably tough,
a physically impressive race. Males averaged about 1m 75 cm; females
1m 60 cm, Neanderthals were considerably stronger and tougher.
Their joints, were larger; their bones thicker. The fossils indicate
they were substantially more muscled including the children. Neanderthal
fossils lack the predominant chin of humans and a last set of
molars. They had well muscled chests, long bodies, with shorter
legs. Some fossil specimens (not all), have hip sockets more splayed
than modern humans. The size of the skull eye sockets would have
carried very large eyes.
Through examining the attachment points at which muscle binds
to their bones it has been illustrated that their calves and biceps
were extremely well developed as well as their pectoral chest
and back muscles. A Neanderthal, because of this greater muscle
mass, would weigh some ten kilos more than a modern human of equivalent
height. They were regular Mr Universes.
4. Neanderthals Possessed Advanced Skills
Neanderthals used fire for heating, cooking and manufacturing.
They probably crafted leather and fur garments of various types.
Had a relatively advanced tool and weapon making culture manufacturing
a large variety of finely-edged, sophisticated flint tools and
weapons. This industry is characterised by the many tool types
found, including spear points, stone lances and wooden spears
with fire hardened points. Neanderthals made these different types
of implements, for both "military" and domestic use,
it provides evidence of their ability to plan, think and scheme.
5. Their Language
Almost certainly, the Neanderthal race possessed advanced language.
Fossil remains indicate Neanderthal voice boxes were capable of
making the same sounds as modern humans. As they lived alongside
humans it is reasonable to conclude they spoke the same language
or if not learned to speak it becoming bi-lingual.
6. Their Command and Appreciation of Music
In a cave in Slovenia Yugoslavia, archaeologists consider they
have unearthed the world's oldest true musical instrument, a flute
which appears to have been made by Neanderthals. Broken at both
ends, the 12 cm long instrument is made out of the leg bone of
a young bear still retaining its four finger holes. Apart from
being considered the oldest musical instrument in the world, this
flute's greatest significance lies in its association with Neanderthal
man's ability to produce music, and make musical instruments.
The Neanderthal race would have composed music, sung to it and
probably danced to it no differently than humans today. The ability
to create music on a multiple note instrument reveals evidence
of imagination and abstract thought. It would therefore be reasonable
to conclude that these same qualities would have also been put
to use in other skills such as reading and writing.
7. Neanderthal Culture
There is evidence indicating that Neanderthals possessed a sense
of community spirit by performing ritual burials and caring for
the old and sick. Remains of several physically impaired individuals
have been uncovered. Some recovered skeletons display old, healed
injuries suggesting their wounds or injuries were treated and
cared for. In a cave in Iraq, archaeologists uncovered skeletons
of a man, two women and an infant buried together in soil containing
pollen of flowers. The flowers, being set there by survivors,
strongly suggests that Neanderthals thought and cared for their
dead.
Analysis of the sediment pollen concentrated in batches, implied
that possible bunches of flowers had been placed on the grave.
Closer examination of the pollen enabled scientists to identify
many flowers that were present, all of which had some therapeutic
properties. Were they part of an aromatic preparation, a kind
of pot-pourri for the dead, or perfumed oils used in ointment
preparations? If so an appreciation of the cosmetic appearance
of flowers and perfumed fragrances existed, much the same as today
with our embalming of the body with fragrances and the use of
flowers at funerals. These flowers also testify to the warm climate
and abundant floral varieties availability at the time.
8. Neanderthal Burial Tombs
It is possible Neanderthals chose certain caves to use as burial
'tombs' this would account for the fact that so many of the remains
of Neanderthals have been found buried in caves. This practice
would be similar to more recent human cultures who in certain
parts of the world used memorial tombs often carved out of the
inside of a natural caves using a stone rolled in front of the
entrance to seal shut the tomb cave.
Evidence showing Neanderthal skeletons buried in excavated graves
in the ground suggests concern over the concepts of life and death.
Value being placed on the dead person, funerals being a part of
the social and psychological practices for dealing with death.
9. Neanderthals Exercised Abstract Thinking Concepts
Neanderthals show signs of being a social race in which the old
and the injured were taken care of instead of simply left to die.
Individuals of well advanced years, have been found supporting
the idea that they exercised "humanity" the exercise
of mental thought principles over physical actions. Religion is
a characteristic of the human species. In order to have religion,
one must be capable of abstract thought and reasoning. Without
such abilities, the concepts of life and death or a God could
not be imagined. It appears the Neanderthal race possessed some
of these attributes.
Unlike humans however, there is evidence presented by the scientists
that the male/female role interplay as practised by humans in
family activity was not carried out by Neanderthals. There is
no evidence of couples or family oriented activities among Neanderthals
such as taking meals together. This stands out in contrast to
their closeness in so many other ways to humans.
10. Cruel Warriors
There is evidence however that Neanderthals were cruel warriors
and fighters suffering and inflicting battle wounds, mutilations,
torture and maiming, they may also have practiced cannibalism.
In France Archaeologists uncovered 2 fragments of leg bones and
3 arm bones. Some scientists believe that these bones show signs
of being fractured while still fresh. Another Neanderthal site
containing human bone fragments shows signs of cuts and burns.
The presence of burns on the bones is significant since no animal,
other than humans, makes deliberate use of fire. These burnt and
intentionally broken human bones have been interpreted as being
evidence of some form of cannibalism. They could equally be evidence
of torture and or mutilation by dismemberment as has often been
the case within certain human cultures who engage in cruel battle
blood lust.
11. Neanderthals Lived Side By Side With Humans
Researchers working in caves in Israel have unearthed skeletons
of both Neanderthals and modern humans. These Neanderthal remains
have been dated back some 60,000 years (see following information
on dating); the accompanying "modern" humans skeletons
back 92,000 years.
If the dates are correct, modern type humans were around for a
long time 'before' the Neanderthals appeared. After they did arrive
on the scene "modern humans" appear to have coexisted
with Neanderthals, sharing living space together with them for
some time, until they the Neanderthals went extinct. Although
it appears that Neanderthals and modern humans were contemporary,
inhabiting the same geographic areas and living space Neanderthals
did not interbreed with humans.
12. Scientists' Dating for the Extinction of the Neanderthal Race
There is evidence that both 'human types' exchanged ideas, at
least in how to make tools. As a result, the idea that Homo Neanderthalensis
directly evolved into Homo sapiens now seems wildly improbable.
According to present scientific thinking the fossil record of
Neanderthals abruptly ends about 30,000 to 35,000 years ago (see
following information on dating). After this time only Homo Sapiens
dominate the scene. Researchers make the comment that "Why
Neanderthals suddenly went extinct is a topic of much question
we may never know the true reason."
Radiocarbon analysis puts the later Neanderthal sites as being
c 32,500 years old. So some 32,000 years ago, Neanderthals disappeared
completely they simply vanished for no clear reason.
Today Neanderthal is classified as totally human - Homo sapiens
humankind. What happened to them? Some scientist theorise that
the Homo sapien race; 'us humans', killed off the Neanderthal
race. So did a physically and mental inferior race; humans (Homo
sapiens) exterminate a physically and mentally superior race Neanderthals??
Logic dictates that if one race extinguished the other, the Neanderthal
race with their superior strength and mental abilities should
have exterminate the inferior human race.
This, of course, is the ultimate question, one that continues
to divide and baffle experts, one I shall endeavour to provide
rational explanations for in this paper, covering all the above
criteria.
13. How Science Determines Neanderthal Dating
The scientists as we have seen date the period of the Neanderthals
to end 32,500 years ago. How do they arrive at this date what
scientific processes do they use to come to this conclusion. Well
surprisingly as it may seem it is all based on 'relative' methods
"guess work". Ridiculous! Have a look at the facts.
When we do we are faced with an unusual situation that exists
no where else in the sciences.
The scientists have created a theoretic "geological column
chart" on which the theory of evolution is hung. The most
recent chart, now used in most museums and universities is that
drawn up by Van Eysinga in 1975. This chart covers some 600 million
years dividing time into periods, ie. Cretaceous 65 to 140 million
year ago; Jurassic 140 to 195 million years ago etc etc. The complete
chart cannot be found in nature, it is imaginary pieced together
from various inter-related strata from all over the world. The
vast time periods that have been allocated in the chart to facilitate
the slow burying of fossils which formed the sedimentary rock
layers cannot be proved or illustrated in any deposits being formed
today it is all calculated and based on estimated guess work.
When a geologist has difficulty dating a rock stratum he requests
the evolutionists opinion on the date of the fossils the rock
contains, this then becomes its 'established' age date. When an
evolutionist has difficulty dating a fossil he requests the geologists
opinion on the age of the rock containing the fossil which then
becomes its 'accepted' age date. A case of two theories being
cross referenced in order to establish a so called fact??
14. Using the Carbon Dating Clock (C14)
Technically the carbon dating process is very accurate, making
precise calculations according to a set formula. The clock itself
works very well; like a stop watch with meticulously manufactured
cogs and wheels. The problems come with the set up data fed into
it, unless the calibrations are realistic and accurate the clock
is no good. For example if an extremely accurate clock is set
to the wrong time to start with no matter how accurate it is,
the time it shows will always be wrong. Or if a clock has its
mechanism set to a 25 hour day calibration with accuracy down
to one thousandth of a second, the time it shows will always be
useless to its owner.
So how has the important Carbon dating clock been set for dating
Neanderthal man? We shall examine the evidence which shows that
this C14 dating process as it is presently calibrated, is only
good for dating things back 2-3,000 years.
Scientists claim they have accurately calculated the age of Neanderthal
bones by using this Radio Carbon C14 method. C14 is a type of
carbon formed in the upper atmosphere when cosmic radiation particles
bombard it. It forms radioactive carbon dioxide and from the atmosphere
in minute quantities through photosynthesis passes into plants
and animals and so is absorbed by all living things along the
food chain. Natural carbon C12 is also present in all living things
but in much greater quantity. The ratio of C12 to its minute cousin
C14 is constant in all living things (today one C12 atom to one
billion C14 atoms).
The scientists have accepted the assumption that C14 has been
forming in the atmosphere constantly and continually for millions
of years and that its build up which they calculate would have
taken 30,000 years has reached its constant saturation point (the
radiocarbon reservoir) and that as much C14 is now decaying as
is being formed. C14 absorbed into any living thing during its
life time starts to decay once it dies. Half its amount of C14
decays away in about 5,700 years, half of the remaining half decays
away in a further 5,700 years and so on until immeasurably small.
Once a plant or animal dies it stops taking in C14 and it starts
to decay at the above rate while C12 stays the same.
The Calibrations Given to the C14 Clock:
5,700yrs after death
after 11,400yrs
after 17,100yrs
after 22.800yrs
after 28,500yrs
after 34,200yrs 50% original ratio C14 remains
25% original ratio C14 remains
12,5% original ratio C14 remains
6,25% original ratio C14 remains
3,12% original ratio C14 remains
1,56% original ratio C14 remains 150 C14 counts per second
75 C14 counts per second
37,5 C14 counts per second
18,7 C14 counts per second
9,8 C14 counts per second
4,9 C14 counts per second
This dating
test rests entirely on knowing exactly what the original ratio
mix of C14 to C12 is or was. It is only accurate if the ratio
is the same today as when the organism lived and remained constant
during its life and its death up to the time of dating. If there
had been less C14 in the atmosphere during its life than today
it would have absorbed less and the ratio would read much lower
giving it a much older false reading.
Evolutionists believe that there has been no change but experiments
by Richard Lingenfelter, Hans Suess, V R Switzer and Professor
Melvin Cook have shown that the C14 in the atmosphere is 'still'
increasing at between 25 to 38% more than it is at present decaying.
This indicates that the atmosphere because it has not yet reached
saturation with C14 (saturation point is reached when the amount
decaying as the same as that being formed) is either much younger
than originally considered or at some earlier stage was protected
from the present rate of cosmic particle bombardment and is still
building up C14 to reach its saturation equilibrium point estimated
to take some 30,000 years.
When calculating the equation back to the zero point of C14 in
the atmosphere incorporating this 'greater build up to decay ratio'
we get a starting date for the C14 build up in the atmosphere
at only c10,000 years ago. This would drastically reduce the amount
of C14 that was in the atmosphere and thereby absorbed by living
organisms during their life times creating an artificially, much
older dying date when using the presently calibrated C14 clock
reading.
Scientists calculate Neanderthal disappeared some 32,500 years
ago according to dating by C14, applying the erroneous assumption
that C14 saturation has already been achieved. To arrive at a
date of 32,500 years ago the C14 reading in the Neanderthal bones
would have been c 2% of original ratio, giving a C14 clock reading
of c 6 counts per second.
Reworking the date using the 10,000 year period of C14 build up
and the 2% of original ratio ( 6, counts per second ) used in
the evolutionists original calculation. Then if a Neanderthal
had died say 4,400 years ago and the absorption of C14 into the
atmosphere had only been going on for 5,600 years then at death
the Neanderthal would only have absorbed 18.67% of the scientists
anticipated full saturation amount of C14 (If absorption into
the atmosphere started 10,000 years ago then 4,400 years ago absorption
would have been in operation for 5,600 years, if saturation takes
30,000 years then 5,600 years would be 18.67% of 30,000 years).
This would give a false calculation for the year of his death
showing erroneously that he had been dead for 14,286 years at
the time he died.
Reducing the ratio to the same 2% reading (6 counts per sec) as
follows:
Plus 5,700 years
Plus 11,400 years
Plus 17,100 years
Plus 18,756 years only 9.34% C14 remains – at a 6 count
reading
only 4.67% C14 remains – at a 6 count reading
only 2.34% C14 remains – at a 6 count reading
only 2.00% C14 remains – at a 6 count reading
Take the 18,756
years and subtract the 14,286 excess years gives a 4,470 year
old death date for the Neanderthal, a lot more recent than the
32,500 year set by the scientists. So is there any evidence that
the Neanderthal race went extinct only 4,400 years ago?
The date 4,470 years ago comes right within the time frame the
ancient manuscripts reveal the Nephilim was on the earth 4,380
to 4,500 years ago. They were apparently only around for some
120 years, why and who were they?
