A speculative research paper examining current evidence available on Neanderthal man in connection to references in early manuscripts of a Nephilim ancient race of half breed humans. Argument is presented that scientific evidence and facts currently available supports a proposal that Neanderthal man was in fact one and the same as the ancient warrior race of half breed humans referred to in some of the earliest Hebrew manuscripts as the Nephilim.

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 recognised by scientists as a contemporary of modern man for a time living alongside humans possessing many human attributes. But amazingly with a LARGER brain than mans! Were they the Nephilim?

To address the question we first need to examine the current facts and information available on Neanderthal man.

In 1856 workers in the Neander Valley near Dusseldorf Germany uncovered a skull and bones. The skull was unlike anything seen before, having a flattened cranium with a heavy brow ridge above large eye sockets. Nearby, workers also uncovered an assortment of thick and heavily fossilized bones. In succeeding years many further specimens have been 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. Later the French palaeontologist 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 (these 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 created by arthritis. More evidence from various caves and digs has shown that Neanderthals wielded tools and weapons, wore ornaments, had cultural and religious rites, ceremoniously burying their dead.

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 millilitres in volume compared to less than 1,400 millilitres for the current world wide average of humans. 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 a stocky body builder, 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.

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 eyeballs.

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.

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.

Almost certainly, the Neanderthal race possessed advanced language. Fossil remains indicate Neanderthal voice boxes containing the vocal cords 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.

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 could have composed music, sung to it and possibly 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.

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 a warm climate and the abundant floral varieties availability at the time.

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 of 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.

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 as with animals. Individuals of well advanced years, have been found which support the idea that they exercised "humanity", 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.

There is evidence that Neanderthals were cruel warriors and fighters suffering and inflicting battle wounds, mutilations, torture and maiming, they may also have practised 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, make deliberate use of fire in food preparation. These burnt and intentionally broken human bones have been interpreted as being evidence of some form of cannibalism, Neanderthals eating humans. 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.

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 the accompanying "modern" humans skeletons back 92,000 years.

If the relationship of 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 areas 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 areas Neanderthals did not interbreed with humans.

There is evidence that both '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. After this time only Homo Sapiens dominate the scene. Researchers say "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 sapien (humankind). What happened to them? Some scientist theorise that the our Homo sapien race, 'us humans', killed off the Neanderthal race. So did a physically and mentally inferior race of humans 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 exterminated the inferior human race!

This, of course, is the ultimate question, one that continues to divide and baffle experts, one that I shall endeavour to provide rational explanations for in this paper, incorporating all the above criteria.

The scientists as we have seen date the period of the Neanderthals to end c32,500 years ago. How do they arrive at this date? What scientific processes do they use to come to this conclusion? Surprising 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, i.e.. Cretaceous 65 to 140 million year ago; Jurassic 140 to 195 million years ago etc, etc. This chart cannot be found in nature, it is theoretical, 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??

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 and the error accumulates day by day.

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 accurately 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 C14 atom to one billion C12 atoms).

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. After death half the amount of C14 decays away to nitrogen gas 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 starts to decay at the above rate while C12 stays the same.

            Calibrations given to the C14 clock:

   5,700 years after death 50% of C14 remains  = 150, C14 counts per second.

    after 11,400 years  25% of C14  remains  =   75, C14 counts per second.

   after 17,100 years 12.5% of C14 remains  =  37.5, C14 counts per second.

   after 22,800 years 6.25% of C14 remains  =  18.7, C14 counts per second.

   after 28,500 years 3.12% of C14 remains  =   9.8, C14 counts per second.

   after 34,200 years 1.56% of C14 remains  =   4.9, C14 counts per second.

This dating test relies entirely on knowing exactly what the original ratio mix of C14 to C12 is or was. The clock is only accurate if the ratio is the same today as when the organism lived and that it remained constant throughout its life and after its death, right up to the time of dating. If there had been less C14 in the atmosphere during its lifetime than today it would have absorbed less and the ratio would read much lower with a resulting lower count per second giving it a much older false reading.

Evolutionists believe that there has been no change in the ratio of C14 to C12 for millions of years. William Libby and his co-workers while developing the radiocarbon dating method in the 1940s believed that the amount of C14 in the world could not possibly have varied during the time that mankind had been on the Earth simply because the Earth is of an immense age, some 4,600 million years old so they believed. Because of this great age it was assumed that the 30,000 years transition period required for the atmosphere to have built up its ‘equilibrium value’ of C14 had already occurred and that the terrestrial radiocarbon reservoir had reached a steady state.

To test this assumption in Libby’s theory he made measurements of both the rate of formation and the rate of decay of radiocarbon. He found to his surprise a considerable discrepancy in his measurements; that apparently, radiocarbon was being created in the atmosphere somewhere around 25% faster than it was becoming extinct. Since this result to him was inexplicable he put it down to experimental error.

During the 1960s chemists repeated Libby’s experiments with refined techniques. They revealed that the discrepancy of Libby’s was not experimental error but did exist. Richard Longenfelter found 'There is strong indication, despite the large errors that the present natural production rate exceeds the natural decay rate by as much as 25%'.

Other researchers have since confirmed this finding including Hans Suess, of the University of Southern California in the Journal of Geophysical Research and V R Switzer writing in Science.

Professor Melvin Cook Professor of Metallurgy at Utah University reviewed the data of Suess and Lingenfelter and reached the conclusion that the present rate of formation of carbon 14 is 18.4 atoms per gram per minute and the rate of decay 13.3 atoms per gram per minute, a ratio indicating that formation exceeds decay by some 38 per cent.

Cook went one step further by taking the latest measured figures on radiocarbon formation and decay. He calculated them back to the point at which there would have been zero radiocarbon. In so doing he is in effect using the radiocarbon technique to date the Earths own atmosphere. His resulting calculations showed that the composition of the present atmosphere is only around 10,000 years old!

Many researchers have shown that the C14 in the atmosphere is still increasing at between 25 to 38% more than 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 is the same as that being formed) is either still building up and is therefore much younger than originally considered (i.e. Cooks 10,000 years), or at some earlier stage the atmosphere was inhibited from the present rate of cosmic particle bombardment. This would mean that the build up of C14 to reach saturation equilibrium would take longer than the estimated 30,000 years which would only be applicable if the atmosphere was as it is today.

When we calculate back the equation to zero point of C14 in the atmosphere using this  25-38% increasing build up of decay ratio' in the atmosphere, we get a starting date for the C14 build up process in the atmosphere by cosmic ray bombardment of only c10,000 years ago. This would have the effect of drastically reducing the amount of C14 that was present in the atmosphere and thereby reduce the amount absorbed by living organisms during their life times. When reading reduced amounts of C14 it would create an artificially, much older dying date than when using the present wrongly calibrated C14 clock setting.

Scientists calculate Neanderthal disappeared some 32,500 years ago. According to present dating by C14 applying the assumption that C14 saturation has already been achieved. In order to arrive at their date of 32,500 years ago the C14 reading in the Neanderthal bones would have been c 2% of original ratio, achieved by a C14 clock count reading of c 6 counts per second.  

If we now rework this date using the 2% 6 counts per second calculation but from a shorter 10,000 year period of C14 build up. Then a Neanderthal who had died say 4,400 years ago would have absorbed C14 from the atmosphere that had only been building up for 5,600 years. Then at death the Neanderthal would only have absorbed 18.67% of the scientists present anticipated 100% 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 instead of 4,400 years.

It is ridiculous to think that the atmosphere of the Earth is only 10,000 years old as the science evidence suggests. Agreed, but the truth can often more incredible than fiction. There is evidence that we shall be considering that although the atmosphere is older than 10,000 years the absorption of C14 at its present rate has possibly only been going on for the last 4,400 years. The C14 penetration and absorption into our atmosphere was inhibited prior to this time by a cosmic ray protection layer and that when this ended the Earth's climate also changed radically.

True science reacts to evidence with the ability to change its conclusions. But some 'sciences' have become dogmatic and respond in exactly the opposite way.  Lets consider the evidence.

Is it possible that the evidence uncovered about Neanderthals should be applied to the Nephilim race? We need to explain the following 16 characteristics associated with Neanderthals.

1. Had brains as large if not larger than humans.
2. Well muscled and developed physiques.
3. Distinctive characteristics from humans.
4. Evidence that humans lived before the Neanderthals arrived.
5. Humans & Neanderthals coexisted for a period sharing living space.
6. Neanderthals were skilled in tool and weapon making.
7. They were a battle scarred warrior race.
8. Neanderthals were skilled in language, and literacy.
9. They were cultured in music and musical instrument making.
10. Neanderthals had a general culture of their own similar to humans.
11. They practised burial of the dead and religious rituals.
12. Possibly possessed skills in apothecary and, aromatherapy.
13. Neanderthals lived in warm temperate climate's.
14. They had possible hybrid characteristics.
15. Corrected dating places them coexisting with humans 4,400 years ago.
16. Neanderthals were exterminated suddenly while humans continued.

The ancient Hebrew manuscripts refer to a time some 4,500 years ago, before the Egyptian civilisation, when highly intelligent life forces from outside our universe were aware that the human race was multiplying on this planet. They turned their attention to earth with the intention of controlling and colonising it. The human race at that time had reached a possible population of some 35 million * (see foot note 1 at end of paper). For certain calculated reasons they took the opportunity to move in on the Human estate with the objective of usurping it and bringing it under their control and domination.

Possessing a high level of scientific knowledge, coming from a race millions of years older than the fairly new human race, they understood precisely how the DNA functioned in the human format. Engineering a transformation of their own makeup to assimilate the human form they took on physical bodies fashioned on detailed knowledge of the human DNA structure and cellular make up. Possibly emphasising and enhancing in the process physical power and size, making themselves extremely impressive specimens * (see foot note 2 for manuscript references at end of paper).

There is no information in the manuscripts as to how many went through this metamorphic change but possibly some thousands participated. They took pleasure in the power and control they could exercise  over the natural human population. Cohabiting with the human women, selecting the best for themselves without restriction probably meeting little objection from husbands or other human males on account of their impressive physical dominance.

Once women had become impregnated, inseminated with their engineered semen they became pregnant giving birth to children who were a hybrid half caste race known as Nephilim.

How many of these highbred half caste humans were born is hard to say but the records inform us that these transformed humanoid visitors continued taking women and impregnating them for at least 120 years (see foot note 2 vs 3 at end of paper ). If there were 'say' 5,000 of them and they continued fathering children by means of various human women at the rate of 'say' one a month over a period of 100 years they could have accumulated a Nephilim race numbering some 6 million compared to a estimated human population now increased to approximately 135 million (see foot note 2 vs 2 at end of paper).

This possible 6 million strong Nephilim race could form a veritable army by which their fathers could hold influence and control over a human population of 135 million. This period of human history became filled with violence and bloodshed. The entire human race was affected by this environment of terror.

It is very possible that this half breed race referred to as the Nephilim were in fact one and the same as the Neanderthal race. The characteristics of Nephilim fit the scientists descriptions of the Neanderthal "a physically very strong, tough impressive race with larger joints, thicker bones, well muscled chests, long bodies, and shorter legs weighing approximately twenty pounds more than a modern human of equivalent height, regular Mr Universes." It also explains why their brain size and cerebral hemispheres were as large if not larger than humans.

The evidence supports a need for the correction of the calibration of C14 dating clock readjusting it to allow for the recent build up of C14. If this resetting is done it brings both Nephilim and Neanderthals into the same time frame some 4,400 years ago.

Scientists make guesses as to what caused the extinction of the Neanderthal race but the ancient records tell us what happened to cause the extinction of the Nephilim race, a massive deluvion flood, exterminating the entire race. The manuscripts shed further light on how this deluge occurred and how it would have dramatically changed the C14 build up in the atmosphere, fitting the scientific calculations for atmospheric saturation of C14 (see foot note 2 vs 7-17 at end of paper).

These ancient manuscripts refer back to a time when a water vapour, screen layer was suspended above the earth's atmosphere as ice crystals, possibly held in place by the counter balancing effects of centrifugal, magnetic and gravitational forces (see foot note 3 at end of paper). Saturn today, has suspended around it atmospheric rings, although very different in composition to that which would have circled the earth. The earth's protection layer would have had to have been much wider than Saturn's rings, roofing over the earth's atmosphere, thicker over the equator, tapering down towards the poles, forming a global atmospheric climate controlling mechanism.

This mechanism would have had the effect of dissipating the thermal heat rays of the sun more evenly over the surface of the planet. Protecting the equator regions from the intense overheating of the sun as experienced today and dispersing this heat out toward the polar regions, making for a more even temperate climate throughout the entire earth's surface. It would explain evidence found of temperate vegetation and animals living close to the polar regions and why warm climate animals living in these arctic areas were suddenly destroyed and preserved in ice. Desert areas of the earth today show evidence that during the earlier chapters of mans history there was abundant water supplies and lush vegetation throughout the year, the very same temperate climate that the Neanderthal lived in.

It could explain the dilemma some archaeologists have when finding evidence that the Great Sphinx of Egypt was exposed to rainfall weathering over a long period. For the last 4,000 years there has been very little if any rainfall in Egypt; has the earth's climate changed radically by the removal of this water suspension canopy? Were the three Giza pyramids and Sphinx built pre deluvion flood?

This protective outer layer surrounding the earth's atmosphere dissipated the warmth around the earth similar to the effect of a green house roof. Just as the panes of glass block the suns harmful radiation rays entering the green house. You will never get a suntan sitting inside a glass green house on a sunny day. So to the water vapour/ice crystal screening layer above the atmosphere would have protected the earth from harmful cosmic ray bombardment, blocking most of the C14 and eliminating absorption though photosynthesis. Today without the canopy we are unprotected from the constant bombardment of these rays and so are subject to the effects of premature ageing. Science is now linking the bombardment of these radiation rays to cell and DNA breakdown as part of the human ageing process.

This water vapour/ice crystal screen would have protected life from harmful exposure to direct cosmic radiation rays from the sun, preventing the infiltration of radio carbon C14. This would account for the atmosphere still building up its levels of C14 not yet having reached saturation point, the estimated take of 30,000 years build up would be way out, with a protection barrier screen the rate of build up would have been far slower and spread over a much longer period.  With a new point for the present rate of build up of C14 starting some 5,000 years ago when its present atmosphere minas its protective canopy commenced there would yet be a further 25,000 years to go before saturation is reached.

This would have the effect of causing all carbon dates greater than 4,500 years to be thrown out of the window as the clock on which all these dates have been calculated would have been set at a wrong starting time wrongly assuming saturation in the atmosphere being reached millions of years ago, whereas the evidence dictates that it still has not been accomplished.

As already discussed, according to the manuscripts, because of the situation of interbreeding between humans and extra terrestrial races (spirit beings) the earth had acquired a fearsome, cross race of Neanderthals (Nephilim). The situation of crossbreeding Spirit and Human races caused violence and bloodshed between humans and its Nephilim off spring. This hostility filled the inhabited earth and needed to be dealt with. The intolerable situation had to be removed, wiped out completely otherwise civilisation as we know it today would not have been able to survive and continue. According to the Greek manuscripts (see foot note 3 Greek Codex Sanaticus at end of paper) the suspended water vapour layer provided the means to do this. 

At a pre determined date the suspended layer was broken up, the manuscripts according to chronological calculations indicate this to have been almost 4,400 years ago. The fall of the deluge waters came from the breaking-up of this suspended benign canopy. Possibly balancing centrifugal, magnetic and gravitational forces holding it in position were adjusted in some way.

Scientists acknowledge that the earth's magnetic force fields have at certain times reversed themselves. Surveys of palaemagnetism, the study of lava rocks which contain iron particles, show when these rocks were cooling and solidifying from a liquid state the iron particles would line up in line with the direction of the earth's magnetic field leaving behind a record of the direction of the magnetic field at the time. Surveys have revealed that the earth's magnetic field has reversed on more than one occasion. Did a reversing of the magnetic field provide the trigger mechanism setting off a controlled reaction that lead to pulling down of the water vapour layer?

The billions upon billions of tons of ice crystals would have been drawn down mainly toward the poles by gravitational and centrifugal forces, condensing into water and water back into ice accompanied by high velocity winds, almost overnight causing major dramatic changes to the earth's former temperate climate.

The build up of water and ice falling onto the polar regions would have forced it under great pressures into glacier form spreading rapidly out over the surfaces of the globe toward the equators, gouging out valleys under the rapid movement of mountains of ice, glaciers bulldozed along under massive back pressure everything in their paths would have been destroyed. With the continual falling of this water and ice for 40 days (see foot note 4) at both poles more and more ice built up creating a massive rapid build up of pressure until its sheer weight it cracked the earth's outer crust layer buckling it and breaking it up into the 'tectonic plate' continental land masses we now have. These great continental land mass plates crushed against one another forcing up mountain ranges while the weight of the massive ice glaciers along with billions of tons of additional water forced down great surface area depressions allowing the water to later settle into these new ocean basins that we have today.

How does the evidence fit with this? Did the deluvion mechanism provide the criteria that resulted in the formation of the worlds continental plates?

It certainly could have provided the energy to create the tremendous forces needed to tear apart and crack up the earth's crust. It could also have provided the massive rapid energy to drive these cracked continental plates apart in some places, over riding neighbouring plates in others compressing and forcing plate edges against one another with such force as to drive up and form the world's great mountain ranges that recently come into existence.

The hypothesis that the crust of the earth could have been cracked up into the continental plates by a thickening of the earth's polar ice caps was put forward by Hapgood and Campbell in 1958, in their publication "Earth's Shifting Crust".

Professor Melvin Cook took this theory and modelled it. He started with a situation where the earth's mantel was more or less fairly uniformly covered with crust from pole to pole. By creating a build up of ice at the poles he finally cracked the crust, the fracture lines determined by the pressures being exerted from the opposing polar forces. These pressures on the earth's crust can be likened to the effect on the shell of a hard boiled egg being squeezed in a vice from both ends. When the earth's crust fractured it would have snapped rapidly and violently and like the pieces of the egg shell, quickly separated in some places, but in others forced up against one another.

Professor Cook believes the ancient Arctic ice cap a mass of some 100 million tons disappeared suddenly about 10,000 years ago. To explain this he says it would be necessary for the ice to have dissipated catastrophically. He concludes the evidence proves the earth's crust was rapidly forced up into the great mountain ranges at about the same time masses of ice and snow were released forming the present oceans.

Much evidence supports a recent earth containing much less water on its surface and far more dry land:

1. Vast masses of terrestrial animal remains have been found thousands of meters deep in the oceans, evidence that the land was once above sea level.

2. Marine animal remains including whale skeletons bear evidence of sudden extinction having been found hundreds of meters above sea level, evidence of some phenomena causing the water to suddenly and dramatically to raise above the original sea level.

3. Thousands of flat top islands over 1,000 meters high have been charted at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. They are encrusted with coral revealing they at one time must have been at or near the surface.

4. The island of Great Britain was once linked to Europe by a connecting plateau now more than 20 meters below sea level, it was once all dry land, remains of forests, Animal, Human and Neanderthal bones have all been found on this plateau, evidence of a previously lower sea level.

5. The oceans and seas at present cover some 70% of the earth's surface. It has been calculated that if 20% of the earth's water was evaporated off some 50% more dry land would appear, with the re-emergence above sea level of much of the land that at one time was originally above the water. A suspended water layer as described could have comfortably taken 20% of the waters .

The criteria associated with Neanderthals can equally be applied to Nephilim.

The contradicting and mysterious circumstances surrounding the Neanderthals can be explained by the Hebrew manuscript account which refers to an ancient hybrid race, the Nephilim. These manuscripts are among some of the oldest in the world, now collected together as part of the scriptures. The Neanderthal remains are likely remains of Nephilim.

Foot note 1:

A conservative calculation for the population of the earth 4,500 years ago is 35 million. The chronology of the human race places the first human breeding couple c 6,000 years ago. Using the population increase doubling every 60 years then over a period of 1,500 years the population would have increased from 2 to 35 million. By the date of the deluge 4,380 years ago it could have increased to 135 million (figures are approximations).
