New Human Ancestor Increases Odds of Mysterious Elders
My pet theory regarding ancient civilisations, and in particular pyramids, revolves around the concept of “mysterious elders”, a human species more advanced than us in many ways, helping us evolve culturally for selfish reasons.
In the Bible they were known as the Nephilim or the Watchers. In most ancient cultures they were the strangers who arrived and taught all sorts of education, including waterworks, writing, and construction. Perhaps they still exist? Supposedly Neanderthals could walk amongst us unnoticed (if they still existed), so other recent hominid species could also presumably do likewise.
Just like dragons and unicorns, the evidence required is a fossil or two. Fossils are unfortunately quite rare (all fossilised human bones could fit in the back of of a pickup truck…), and if a species was quite low in numbers, we might never find that evidence.
But, as luck would have it, we might have the first evidence for enlightened relatives. So far all we know is that we have new members to the family tree of our species:
“It was a shock to find DNA from a new type of ancestor that has not been on our radar screens,” says geneticist Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. These enigmatic hominids left Africa in a previously unsuspected migration around 1 million years ago, a team led by Pääbo and Max Planck graduate student Johannes Krause reports in a paper published online March 24 in Nature.
The researchers base their claim on DNA from a finger bone belonging to a hominid that lived in the Altai Mountains of central Asia between about 48,000 and 30,000 years ago.
…Tattersall regards the new mitochondrial DNA sequence as so distinctive that, unless disproved by further evidence, it must represent a new type of hominid.
Statistically speaking, the more randomly found fossils you have, the greater the odds of picking the eras of their existence. With just a single finger, the chances of this new species lasting a million years (and even through to the present day) are the same as it lasting a number of generations in the single digits.

I violently agree with this author. The Bible (KJV) Genesis Chapter 6, verses 1 through 4 mentions Nephilim:
“Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”
They are mentioned again in Numbers chapter 13, verses 32–33, in a description of the inhabitants of Hebron:
“So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” (Keep in mind grasshoppers become locust: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locust)
Thus according to the King James Bilble there are a race of beings in the universe who are like locust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus) EVERYWHERE!
Funny but I received an email the other day from a Christian friend of mine… it shows pics of the Nephilim… pics of bones being dug up in Greece.. dig sites, showing archeologists and workers around the bones in the ground. You can see the skull and whole body. My friend said, “a lot of these finds are never on the news. the director of Trinity college here in abq (you should visit there sometime -on constitution and eubank), he attends our church and has been working on a major dig in the middle east, and has made some amazing discoveries, but you never hear it on the news.
if you ever visit -you just give a small donation and they show you all the artifacts – it’s truly wonderful.”
If you’re interested I’ll send you the pics…. dunno where to send…
If it’s the pic of the giant skeleton – it’s a fake.
