• 00:17 Josh Colson: It didn’t take long
• 00:19 for Satan to hit the reset button
• 00:20 on his grand
• 00:23 biogenetic experiment and begin creation of Nephilim 2.0.
• 00:26 But he was dealt new limitations with a more
• 00:28 volatile environment after the flood.
• 00:31 Although historians link the cradle
• 00:33 of civilization with Sumer, there
• 00:35 are more ancient sites that expose how quickly
• 00:38 Noah’s grandchildren fell into sin.
• 00:40 Modern Turkey, the ancient Anatolia,
• 00:43 holds innumerable mysteries as being the battleground
• 00:46 and center of the Gentile ancient world.
• 00:50 To truly unwrap the mystery of how
• 00:51 and why the first Noahic civilizations fell
• 00:54 for Satan’s repeat genetic agenda,
• 00:56 creating a new breed of hybrids,
• 00:58 we must visit the site of humanity’s
• 01:01 disembarkation post-flood, where the ark laid to rest
• 01:05 on Mount Ararat, Turkey.

• 01:28 male: We must choose world peace.
• 01:30 The challenges we face today do not recognize borders.
• 01:32 It is time for a unified [growling].
• 01:41 Caleb Colson: Well, we made it to Istanbul,
• 01:43 and the stopover here is not by accident.
• 01:47 You know, everything is headed to this location
• 01:49 on Earth, a demonic showdown that I believe
• 01:53 is linked to a very specific place
• 01:55 in the Book of Revelation called Babylon the Great.
• 01:58 And we’re gonna get more into that
• 02:00 as the series commences.
• 02:02 Josh: Whoa, so we finally get to start talking
• 02:04 about the beast and his end times kingdom
• 02:06 in Constantinople?
• 02:08 Caleb: Uh, sorry, Josh, we can’t jump to the climax
• 02:11 just yet.
• 02:12 Right now, we’re headed to the furthest
• 02:14 eastern reaches of the Anatolia
• 02:16 for a Bearded Bible Brothers first, to Mount Ararat!
• 02:19 Last week’s flood myth of Atlantis was
• 02:21 so epic, but it’s cool to visit the actual
• 02:24 biblical location linked with the flood,
• 02:26 and I’ve wanted to find Noah’s Ark
• 02:28 my whole life.
• 02:29 This is in my bucket list.
• 02:30 Josh: But Ararat is a mountain,
• 02:32 and I don’t want to climb another mountain.
• 02:34 You know, that’s it.
• 02:35 If we have to do cardio again,
• 02:37 then I’m picking a legit team,
• 02:39 not a B team, not a C team, but an A team,
• 02:42 to help us on our journey.
• 02:44 Caleb: All right, deal.
• 02:47 Josh: Genesis 8:1-4, “But God remembered Noah
• 02:50 and all the wild animals and the livestock
• 02:53 that were with him in the ark,
• 02:55 and he sent a wind over the earth,
• 02:57 and the waters receded, and on the seventh
• 03:00 day of the seventh month the ark came to rest
• 03:03 on the mountains of Ararat.”
• 03:06 Josh: Gentlemen, you may wonder why
• 03:08 Kurdish mercenaries came to your homes
• 03:11 in the cover of night and brought you here,
• 03:14 into this bus, to sit next to me
• 03:17 in the country of Turkey.
• 03:19 Well, I’m glad you’ve asked.
• 03:20 I needed, most importantly of all, two
• 03:24 strong backs to carry my heavy haunches
• 03:26 up the hills of Mount Ararat to find the glorious Noah’s Ark
• 03:30 without me having to do any
• 03:32 cardiovascular activity.
• 03:33 Caleb: Okay, we really want you
• 03:34 for your biblical expertise, gentlemen.
• 03:37 Josh: That’s the one I said right off the bat.
• 03:38 Obviously it’s your biblical knowledge,
• 03:40 thank you.
• 03:41 Dave, tell me a little bit about your life
• 03:43 in the last 30 years.
• 03:45 Dave Pavey: I’m not convinced you
• 03:46 introduced me terribly well.
• 03:49 Josh: That’s fair, that’s fair.
• 03:51 Dave: So, Dave, Dave Pavey.
• 03:53 I live on the north coast of Northern Ireland,
• 03:57 right, not to get funny, but people do get funny
• 03:59 about that stuff, in a little town
• 04:01 called Coleraine, and I serve my church
• 04:04 in a part-time capacity as a chaplain.
• 04:06 And the rest of my week, I get to chaplain
• 04:09 and look after the pastoral care
• 04:11 needs of about 700 employees
• 04:13 in a big business in Coleraine, and I love it.
• 04:16 Josh: That’s incredible.
• 04:18 That’s definitely the man I need carrying me.
• 04:19 Hirchie, remind me, why are you awesome?
• 04:21 Hirchie Schaffner: So yeah, excited to be here,
• 04:23 a pastor of 516 Ministries and The Gathering Place,
• 04:27 Texas, up in the north there,
• 04:28 and 516 Mission on the Bearded Bible
• 04:32 Brothers YouTube channel, airing now.
• 04:35 Check it out.
• 04:37 I’m excited though about what’s gonna happen.
• 04:38 There’s no better set of guys to follow around
• 04:42 Nephilim than two of the largest
• 04:44 men I know, the Colson brothers.
• 04:47 Josh: To the ark, and to glory!
• 04:51 Caleb: Every ancient culture has a flood myth,
• 04:53 some estimates, over 200 people groups.
• 04:57 Most legends deal with a god or gods who choose
• 05:00 to destroy civilization for divine retribution.
• 05:03 The Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh
• 05:06 is the most famous.
• 05:07 Gilgamesh was a demigod, 16 to 24 foot tall Nephilim,
• 05:11 a hunter, the king of Uruk.
• 05:13 He is believed to be linked with the biblical Nimrod,
• 05:16 founder of Uruk.
• 05:17 Gilgamesh goes on a quest to find
• 05:19 the secret of eternal life.
• 05:21 He eventually meets the Sumerian Noah character,
• 05:24 Uta-napishtim, legendary king of Shuruppak,
• 05:29 the only one, along with his family,
• 05:31 who survived the worldwide flood sent by Marduk.
• 05:34 He was warned to build a boat by the god Enki,
• 05:38 to house his family and the animals of the world.
• 05:42 For remaining loyal and trusting the gods,
• 05:44 Uta-napishtim and his wife are granted immortality.
• 05:51 Hirchie: We are currently in the thriving
• 05:54 population of Dogubayazit.
• 05:56 Fifty-three hundred feet above sea level,
• 05:59 but if you look right there, that’s a little bit taller.
• 06:02 In fact, it’s like three times taller,
• 06:05 and that’s where we’re headed.
• 06:07 Caleb: We are on many borders, guys.
• 06:09 We’re talking just 10 miles south of us,
• 06:11 that’s Iran.
• 06:12 Three and a half hours north of us
• 06:15 is Russia-occupied Georgia.
• 06:17 We know prophetically that one day,
• 06:20 the armies of the north are going to pass right
• 06:22 through here for Ezekiel 38 and 39,
• 06:24 the battle of Gog and Magog, to invade Israel.
• 06:28 Dave: So all of that stuff, the geography,
• 06:30 the prophetic stuff, that’s really important.
• 06:32 But we’ve gotta talk about the practicalities
• 06:34 of this thing, because if we’re gonna go
• 06:36 up that, that extinct volcano Ararat,
• 06:40 if we wanted to hike it, it’s gonna take us four days.
• 06:43 And we should have left about three days ago
• 06:44 if we’re going up tomorrow, right?
• 06:46 Josh: What I do know is that y’all all owe me,
• 06:49 because this guy right here who calls himself
• 06:51 my brother, he’s already taken me
• 06:52 across Greece to every high frigging
• 06:54 mountain you could find, and he made me hike up
• 06:56 with my two legs.
• 06:57 My two legs learned a lot.
• 06:59 They learned they don’t do that anymore.
• 07:00 So unbeknownst to him, I have booked 4x4s
• 07:03 that we will be sitting in that will be driving us
• 07:06 up to altitude so that the only cardio we
• 07:08 have to do is to pretend like we did cardio on camera,
• 07:12 so that nobody knows any better.
• 07:13 We got packed, we’re going out first thing
• 07:15 in the morning.
• 07:16 Dave: I’m taking plenty of wheels with us.
• 07:18 Josh: Genesis 8:2-3 and 5, “Now
• 07:21 the springs of the deep and the floodgates
• 07:23 of the heavens had been closed,
• 07:25 and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.
• 07:28 The water receded steadily from the earth.
• 07:30 At the end of the hundred and fifty days,
• 07:33 the water had gone down.
• 07:34 And on the first day of the tenth month,
• 07:36 the tops of the mountains became visible.”
• 07:40 Dave: Right, gentlemen, if you would kindly turn
• 07:41 around, take a look.
• 07:43 There she blows.
• 07:46 Mount Ararat, we’re here.
• 07:48 We’re here at Mount Ararat now, supposedly Mount Ararat.
• 07:52 And the reason I say “supposedly” is
• 07:54 because in the Bible, the Bible doesn’t
• 07:56 just say Mount Ararat, it actually says
• 07:58 the mountains of Ararat, and the Ararat
• 08:01 mountain range is–
• 08:04 Josh: There’s mountains everywhere
• 08:05 around here.
• 08:07 Look at this.
• 08:08 Dave: Spent months walking around the
• 08:09 mountains of Ararat, and
• 08:11 now here’s the other thing, this is actually a volcano.
• 08:16 And this volcano began to form during the flood.
• 08:20 So there are some people who actually say
• 08:22 that this wasn’t here, or it certainly
• 08:25 wasn’t big enough for Noah to land his ark on at the time.
• 08:31 Josh: Yes, speculation.
• 08:34 People always have it.
• 08:36 No, I mean, it could have been made
• 08:37 out of the volcano exploding.
• 08:39 It could have been made out of sediment layers,
• 08:41 and it’s obvious that over the centuries,
• 08:43 that it has gotten taller, so that would make sense to me.
• 08:48 But we do know for sure that over the last
• 08:51 few hundred years, that people,
• 08:53 lots of people, have said that they have seen it,
• 08:55 that they have touched it, that they’ve walked in it.
• 08:58 So I know as a kid I was like, “Well, how come
• 09:01 if Ararat’s there and Noah’s Ark’s there,
• 09:03 we don’t just find it?”
• 09:04 Because there’s a lot of Ararats,
• 09:05 but this one specifically is known as Greater Ararat,
• 09:09 and this is where we believe it is.
• 09:11 And gentlemen, we’re about to ascend that mount,
• 09:14 and at the very least, claim it for manly
• 09:17 bearded men in search of the ark.
• 09:20 Dave: I have a question.
• 09:22 I have a question first.
• 09:23 Would it be okay if we could refer
• 09:24 to ourselves as “Raiders of the Lost Ark”?
• 09:28 Josh: I like it.
• 09:30 I see no issue.
• 09:31 Caleb: That’s right.
• 09:32 There’s no copyright at all.
• 09:34 Josh: Gentlemen, let’s raid that Ark.
• 09:35 Dave: Raider, I’m a Raider of the Lost Ark.
• 09:36 Hirchie: We named the dog Indiana.
• 09:38 Josh: How cool would it be if Harrison Ford strolled
• 09:40 out of that 4×4?
• 09:42 Josh: Genesis 8:13-17, “By the first
• 09:46 day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred
• 09:48 and first year, the water had dried up
• 09:50 from the earth.
• 09:51 Noah then removed the covering from the ark
• 09:53 and saw that the surface
• 09:55 of the ground was dry.
• 09:56 By the twenty-seventh day of the second
• 09:58 month the earth was completely dry.
• 10:00 Then God said to Noah, ‘Come out of the ark,
• 10:03 you and your wife, and with your sons
• 10:05 and their wives.
• 10:06 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you–
• 10:09 the birds, the animals, and all the creatures
• 10:11 that move along the ground, so that they can multiply
• 10:14 in the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.'”
• 10:20 Josh: Dave, Hirchie, I give you the mountain of pain.
• 10:25 Not the mountain of platitudes,
• 10:27 not the mountain of porpoises,
• 10:28 don’t know why it would be, but we’ve made it up,
• 10:30 according to my altimeter, about 9,000 feet,
• 10:36 before the excessive weight in the front of my vehicle
• 10:38 burst the tire, and we’ve been forced
• 10:41 to have them try and repair this tire
• 10:44 at 9000 feet.
• 10:46 Upon arriving, we’ve had wind, hail,
• 10:50 snow, clouds, and sunshine.
• 10:53 Hirchie: Don’t forget thunder.
• 10:54 Josh: And thunder.
• 10:55 Hirchie: And that was just the first five minutes.
• 10:57 Dave: But Josh, I’m still excited,
• 10:59 in spite of the weather, to be standing
• 11:01 on this mountain that Noah probably landed
• 11:05 on in the ark.
• 11:06 He’s been nine and a half-odd months
• 11:08 on this real low-budget cruise, right?
• 11:12 And he must have been pretty excited too,
• 11:14 ’cause we know he sends out the raven
• 11:17 and the raven comes back, and then he sends out a dove
• 11:19 and the dove comes back and the dove has nothing,
• 11:22 then he sends out the dove again,
• 11:23 and the dove comes back with this olive leaf, right?
• 11:27 So the flood must have receded low enough
• 11:31 for the bird to have picked up this olive leaf, right?
• 11:35 This is the place where God says to Noah,
• 11:39 “Noah, I will no longer wipe out the population
• 11:43 of the earth with a flood ever again.”
• 11:45 And to prove it and to show it
• 11:47 and to remind us of it, he puts the rainbow in the sky,
• 11:51 doesn’t he?
• 11:52 Caleb: That rainbow is a beautiful sign.
• 11:54 It’s supposed to represent God’s promises,
• 11:57 but the enemy counterfeits and hijacks that which
• 12:00 is pure and holy and good.
• 12:03 And you see, obviously everybody knows,
• 12:05 for gay pride, with homosexuals, transvestites, you know,
• 12:10 there’s so many LGBTQ, you know, different
• 12:14 qualifications that people try to identify themselves
• 12:17 with and mutilate their bodies.
• 12:19 This is no different than the sins of the Nephilim.
• 12:22 This is no different than those sins of taking
• 12:25 something that God created and perverting it,
• 12:28 and mixing things that weren’t supposed
• 12:30 to be mixed.
• 12:31 Hirchie: As quickly as God came
• 12:33 and gave this promise, the interesting part is,
• 12:36 of course, the enemy came in very quickly as well,
• 12:39 and so we’re about to get into some pretty heinous stuff.
• 12:42 You know, I would say there’s some viewer
• 12:44 discretion advised, and probably have
• 12:47 the kids maybe step out of the room
• 12:49 or at least cover their ears as we
• 12:52 tell some of the darker side of what happened
• 12:54 in the history after the flood.
• 12:56 Josh: Genesis 9:18-25, “Now the sons of Noah
• 13:01 who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
• 13:04 And Ham was the father of Canaan.
• 13:06 And Noah began to be a farmer,
• 13:08 and he planted a vineyard.
• 13:09 Then he drank of the wine and was drunk,
• 13:11 and became uncovered in his tent.
• 13:14 And Ham, the father of Canaan,
• 13:15 saw the nakedness of his father,
• 13:16 and told his brothers outside.
• 13:18 But Shem and Japheth took a garment,
• 13:20 laid it on both of their shoulders,
• 13:22 and went backward and covered
• 13:23 the nakedness of their father.
• 13:25 Their faces were turned away,
• 13:27 and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
• 13:30 So Noah awoke from his wine and knew what
• 13:32 his younger son had done to him.
• 13:34 Then he said, “Cursed be Canaan;
• 13:36 a servant of servants he shall be to his brethren.”
• 13:41 Dave: Lads, unfortunately we’ve had
• 13:43 to get off here, right?
• 13:45 This adventure’s turned into an even greater
• 13:47 adventure than we thought.
• 13:48 We’ve lost a truck, and now the lads
• 13:50 won’t go any further because it’s just too risky.
• 13:52 So we’re about 1,000 feet off base camp, but anyway,
• 13:56 let’s get back to the passage
• 13:57 that we just heard read there, because things just start
• 14:00 to get weird.
• 14:03 And in our English translation, you read it
• 14:05 and it just sounds so confusing.
• 14:07 Why, for this accident that Ham has just had,
• 14:13 is this curse, not put upon him, but upon his son,
• 14:19 right, Canaan?
• 14:21 It just doesn’t make sense in English.
• 14:23 But if we go back to the original translation,
• 14:27 oh boy, it gets even more disturbing.
• 14:29 Josh: Especially if you’re a rabbi
• 14:31 who speaks Hebrew, and here’s why.
• 14:34 Leviticus 20:17 shows us that “see nakedness,”
• 14:38 quote unquote, it’s a euphemism for sex,
• 14:41 all right?
• 14:42 So, “If a man has sexual intercourse
• 14:44 with his sister, whether the daughter
• 14:45 of his father or his mother, so that he sees
• 14:48 her nakedness and she sees his nakedness,
• 14:50 it’s a disgrace.”
• 14:54 Yuck.
• 14:55 Hirchie: Yeah, I was actually listening
• 14:56 to a rabbi talk about this, and as disturbing as it is,
• 15:01 it made a lot more sense as to why there
• 15:03 was such a punishment.
• 15:05 The phrase that we’re talking about
• 15:07 where it says, “And he became
• 15:08 revealed inside his tent,” in the Hebrew,
• 15:12 it meant to invoke a theme of incest.
• 15:14 This euphemism for incest, it comes in the prohibitions
• 15:19 of Leviticus.
• 15:21 So Leviticus 18:6 says, “None of you shall come
• 15:24 near anyone of his own flesh to uncover nakedness,”
• 15:30 which again implies it was more than just,
• 15:32 “Hey, Dad’s naked, let’s make fun of him,”
• 15:35 but there was an incestual action
• 15:37 that took place.
• 15:38 Caleb: Yeah, Moses was trying
• 15:40 to write something very carefully
• 15:41 to tell the story that they all knew,
• 15:43 but in terms that wasn’t too
• 15:44 graphically disturbing.
• 15:47 But even with that, what you mentioned,
• 15:49 this isn’t just about homosexuality here
• 15:52 and incest, this is rape, basically.
• 15:55 This is a son taking advantage of his father
• 15:58 when he’s inebriated in a state that he
• 15:59 can’t defend himself.
• 16:01 And so it’s even more harsh.
• 16:04 You understand why Noah’s so angry.
• 16:07 But yet the curse that Noah gives isn’t
• 16:09 for Ham, and this is what
• 16:10 confuses a lot of Christians.
• 16:12 It’s for Canaan.
• 16:16 Caleb: Now, gentlemen, I’m not trying
• 16:17 to disturb you with these really perverse,
• 16:20 you know, stories of what’s going
• 16:21 on, but this is absolutely necessary
• 16:24 to uncover the reasoning behind the curse of Canaan,
• 16:27 because as you know, later on, it’s
• 16:29 Canaan’s line that intermingles
• 16:31 with the seed of the Nephilim.
• 16:32 They just–they go haywire, and God has
• 16:34 to judge them harshly.
• 16:37 But the late Dr. Michael Heiser
• 16:39 has this second theory, which is actually one
• 16:42 that I believe is the case, referencing the euphemism,
• 16:47 “your father’s nakedness” in Hebrew and what
• 16:49 it really means.
• 16:50 So in Leviticus 18:6-7, it says, “None of you
• 16:53 shall approach any one of his close
• 16:55 relatives to uncover nakedness,” which of course
• 16:58 we know means sex.
• 17:00 “I am the Lord.
• 17:01 You shall not uncover the nakedness
• 17:03 of your father, which is
• 17:05 the nakedness of your mother;
• 17:07 she is your mother, you shall not uncover
• 17:09 her nakedness.
• 17:10 You shall not uncover the nakedness
• 17:12 of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness.”
• 17:15 Josh: So then you would have to look at the scenario as such.
• 17:18 Ham was uncovering his father’s nakedness
• 17:21 by hooking up with his mom, because he was trying
• 17:25 to usurp his father’s authority and take
• 17:28 leadership of that line, and by him giving
• 17:32 his mother a child, that would prevent Noah
• 17:35 from having a fourth son, henceforth he would be
• 17:39 in charge and the curse would go, and yeah.
• 17:42 Dave: It sounds absolutely wild to me,
• 17:45 right, but this usurping of authority
• 17:47 is actually– it happens
• 17:49 in other Eastern cultures.
• 17:51 And actually, it’s in the Bible too, right?
• 17:54 So you’ve got Genesis 35, you’ve got
• 17:56 the story of Reuben who lays with Bilhah, right,
• 17:59 and then in 2 Samuel 12, I believe it is,
• 18:03 you’ve got David actually sleeps
• 18:05 with Saul’s wives and concubines.
• 18:08 And then just a few chapters later
• 18:10 in chapter 16, you’ve got Absalom.
• 18:13 Absalom goes and rapes David’s concubines.
• 18:16 You’re like, “What on earth is going on?”
• 18:19 Hirchie: Yeah, what happens here is Ham
• 18:22 is going, “I want to have my lineage
• 18:27 be the dynasty.”
• 18:28 It was about power, it was about control.
• 18:30 And it also makes sense in why the Scripture
• 18:33 continually says that Canaan was the son of Ham.
• 18:39 Caleb: That’s right.
• 18:41 Hirchie: It repeats that over and over.
• 18:42 Caleb: So people wouldn’t get confused
• 18:43 when they were like, “Oh wait, Canaan’s mother
• 18:45 was Noah’s wife.”
• 18:46 No, that was not Noah’s son.
• 18:49 Josh: Genesis 10:15-18, “Canaan was
• 18:52 the father of Sidon, his firstborn,
• 18:55 and of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites,
• 18:57 Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites,
• 19:02 Zemarites and Hamathites.”
• 19:06 Caleb: You know, Josh, later in the book
• 19:07 of Jubilee, which we know is not gospel,
• 19:10 but it’s a oral handing down of these stories
• 19:17 that really closely match the Bible,
• 19:19 it still carries on with the main
• 19:20 biblical characters.
• 19:21 But it says that Canaan, knowing he was cursed,
• 19:26 giving an allotment of territory
• 19:27 that he despised, ended up taking this luscious,
• 19:30 beautiful territory that was allotted
• 19:32 to Shem’s dynasty, the Levant,
• 19:35 that region of Israel that was not supposed to be his.
• 19:39 And that’s why later on you get
• 19:42 the children of Canaan who were already carrying
• 19:45 this generational curse from Noah that he
• 19:47 cursed them with, intermingling with
• 19:50 the Benei Elohim again, these fallen angels,
• 19:53 and creating these races of Nephilim
• 19:55 that fill the land of Canaan.
• 19:57 And then the children of Israel,
• 19:58 when they come to inherit the Promised
• 19:59 Land, find giants everywhere.
• 20:01 Josh: Is that the same reason
• 20:03 why we melted the whole planet
• 20:04 down with water?
• 20:05 Caleb: Yeah.
• 20:07 Josh: Ugh, I wish the story stopped there,
• 20:09 but if you look at those grandchildren,
• 20:10 they pretty much all messed it up
• 20:13 for the rest of us.
• 20:14 And on top of that, we have archaeological proof
• 20:17 to prove it here in Turkey,
• 20:18 so, I think we have to head to the site
• 20:22 that has been causing archaeologists to scratch
• 20:24 their heads since they newly
• 20:25 discovered it, which is Gobekli Tepe,
• 20:28 and to look at some weird carvings
• 20:30 on some weird rocks, ones that even confuse you,
• 20:32 I bet, if you see it.
• 20:34 Caleb: I like that.
• 20:35 Let’s go.
• 20:38 announcer: Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews,
• 20:40 book 1, chapter 4.
• 20:42 Josh: “Now the sons of Noah were three, Shem
• 20:43 and Japheth, and Ham, born one hundred years
• 20:46 before the deluge.
• 20:48 These first of all descended
• 20:49 from the mountain into the plains,
• 20:51 and fixed their habitation there;
• 20:52 and persuaded others who were greatly
• 20:54 afraid of the lower grounds on account of the flood,
• 20:56 and so were very loth to come down from
• 20:59 the higher places to venture to follow their examples.”
• 21:04 Dave: Well, gentlemen, finally we made it
• 21:07 to Gobekli Tepe.
• 21:09 This is known as the oldest
• 21:12 Neolithic site, the oldest temple
• 21:15 ever discovered.
• 21:16 Another interesting fact is that, according to Josephus,
• 21:21 Noah’s grandchildren were said to have lived here
• 21:24 for quite a while after the flood,
• 21:26 and they did so out of fear, fear
• 21:28 that another flood might actually happen.
• 21:30 Hirchie: Yeah, because this site
• 21:32 is higher elevation than all the plains around it.
• 21:35 This is the highest tip of the Fertile Crescent,
• 21:38 the furthest northwest you can get of Mesopotamia,
• 21:42 of those plains.
• 21:44 And just south of here is the Euphrates River.
• 21:47 There’s biblical Harran, where Abraham and Terah,
• 21:49 you know, all of our fathers of faith
• 21:51 originated from.
• 21:53 Just 75 kilometers in all directions
• 21:55 there’s more of these mounds,
• 21:57 these circular Stonehenge kind of mounds,
• 22:02 like you said, really making this that first
• 22:05 civilization that survived after the flood,
• 22:08 they came here, they set up shop,
• 22:09 and started apostasy all over again
• 22:12 after God’s reset button was hit.
• 22:14 Josh: There’s 149 of these statues,
• 22:17 sculptures that are here, and they represent humans
• 22:22 and animals.
• 22:23 There’s like 86 kinds of animals,
• 22:25 38 different humans.
• 22:27 There’s some hybrid things going on in here
• 22:29 that I’m not sure what kind of creature they
• 22:31 are, but they definitely were not naturally made
• 22:34 by God, that were part of the contamination
• 22:38 along with the post-flood creatures that we
• 22:39 know God preserved and protected.
• 22:42 So there’s a lot left to uncover here.
• 22:52 Caleb: You see right there,
• 22:53 those central pillars?
• 22:55 That’s the enigma.
• 22:56 That’s the mystery of this whole site.
• 22:58 These are like standing stones of old,
• 23:01 but they’re in the shape of a T, almost like totem poles.
• 23:05 But most people don’t know, there’s 43 that have
• 23:07 been uncovered so far at the site.
• 23:09 They believe that there’s 250 left
• 23:12 all around here that hasn’t been uncovered,
• 23:15 but they are humanoid shape, they’re anthropomorphic.
• 23:19 We know this because we see belts,
• 23:21 we see hands that are carved
• 23:23 into the side of them, shows that they are supposed
• 23:25 to represent humans.
• 23:28 These are much bigger than the other pillars.
• 23:30 I know there’s something special about that.
• 23:32 Dave: And that’s it.
• 23:33 If you look at it, you’ll see like
• 23:34 a clear hierarchy among these monoliths
• 23:38 that are up to 18 feet tall.
• 23:40 And a lot of scholars believe that
• 23:42 these represented the gods, or the Nephilim pantheon,
• 23:46 if you like.
• 23:47 And then you notice that that these ones,
• 23:50 around these smaller ones around that are more
• 23:52 richly decorated, they’re all focused
• 23:55 on the big two, and so the thought is
• 23:57 that these represented the worshippers set
• 24:00 upon the gods in the middle.
• 24:01 Hirchie: Yeah, this was
• 24:03 another shamanistic cult, right?
• 24:06 And so the watchers or the Nephilim,
• 24:09 these are the elite, that’s why they’re
• 24:11 in the middle, they’re getting worshiped.
• 24:13 And the crazy thing about what the Nephilim
• 24:16 brought to them, why they would worship them,
• 24:18 is they brought to them innovation, technology,
• 24:22 things that were millennia
• 24:23 ahead of their time, where they were
• 24:25 not just these Stone Age cavemen-type followers,
• 24:30 hunter-gatherers that we’ve been taught, you know,
• 24:33 with just the cave dwellings, and hoping they
• 24:36 can make a fire and make a wheel.
• 24:38 You know, this was created by someone who was taught how
• 24:40 to make this, because there’s
• 24:42 intricate details that we see in this very site.
• 24:49 Josh: There’s evidence that this site was
• 24:51 also a Neolithic skull cult.
• 24:53 Separated human heads and headless bodies are seen
• 24:56 on reliefs here.
• 24:58 Hirchie: Yeah, that’s what they did.
• 24:59 They worshiped these heads and they kept
• 25:01 these skulls all around the area to decorate
• 25:05 the sacred sites.
• 25:07 Caleb: You know, there’s evidence
• 25:08 that Nephilim had elongated skulls,
• 25:10 dome-shaped skulls, and you can see
• 25:13 that through every Nephilim culture
• 25:15 throughout history.
• 25:16 And mankind took notice and they revered
• 25:18 the special shape of their heads
• 25:20 as, you know, that’s what gods look like,
• 25:22 and they wanted their children to look
• 25:24 like gods.
• 25:26 You can find those alien-like skulls now
• 25:29 from humanoid shaping on every continent
• 25:33 except Antarctica, because they try
• 25:35 to force their own skulls of their children
• 25:38 into the shapes of the gods to emulate them.
• 25:41 It’s crazy.
• 25:42 Josh: You look at the hieroglyphics
• 25:44 on ancient Egypt and you see those same
• 25:46 elongated skulls, so some of them,
• 25:49 some of them were genetic.
• 25:55 You know, although some of
• 25:56 the skulls found in South America
• 25:58 were definitely bound and mutilated
• 25:59 to get their shape, our friend Mondo
• 26:01 Gonzales of “Prophecy Watchers” partnered with L.A.
• 26:04 Marzulli to test some of the Nephilim skulls,
• 26:07 and found that they weren’t entirely human.
• 26:10 Caleb: Surprise, surprise.
• 26:12 You know, there’s amazing stories
• 26:14 throughout history, such as the Spanish
• 26:16 conquistadors that came to the New World.
• 26:19 They were sailing around South America,
• 26:21 the region of Patagonia, and they found giants.
• 26:25 The historians that went with them
• 26:26 chronicled the many giant encounters they had.
• 26:29 They even captured two giants and put them
• 26:31 on a boat, sailed back to Spain, but they died,
• 26:33 had to throw them off, you know, into the ocean.
• 26:36 But even histories of Native Americans, they
• 26:38 all speak of wars that the Native Americans
• 26:41 had with giants, the big man.
• 26:43 Hirchie: I’m thinking if the giant died
• 26:45 in the boat, I’m still not throwing
• 26:46 it overboard.
• 26:47 I’m gonna make money on that thing.
• 26:49 Josh: It’s gonna be rotting and stinking, dude.
• 26:50 Hirchie: I don’t care, dude.
• 26:52 You know how much money people will pay
• 26:53 to see a dead giant?
• 26:57 Hirchie: So guys, this Gobekli Tepe
• 27:00 has actually become a head-scratcher
• 27:03 for a lot of scientists.
• 27:04 So people who are evolutionists, this thing
• 27:07 ain’t working for them.
• 27:08 It does not match up to what they teach.
• 27:11 However, as believers, as Christians,
• 27:15 it makes perfect sense to us, especially those of us
• 27:17 who actually read our Bibles and look into what
• 27:20 the Word of God says about Creation, the flood,
• 27:23 and all the things that came during
• 27:25 that time frame in Genesis.
• 27:28 Josh: Well, gentlemen, it’s been a–it’s been a trip.
• 27:34 Caleb: It was fun, guys.
• 27:35 Hopefully we’ll get to meet again,
• 27:37 but next week, Josh, we have to follow
• 27:39 the trail of the new breed Nephilim
• 27:42 and how they made it to the plains of Shinar,
• 27:44 and they obey the first world dictator who’s
• 27:46 also a Nephilim named Nimrod.
• 27:48 But to tell that story, we have to head back to Israel.
• 27:51 Josh: I mean, if y’all want me
• 27:53 to just hang out, Caleb can probably
• 27:54 tell the story by himself.
• 27:55 Y’all got any space in Northern Ireland?
• 27:57 Caleb: We’ll meet again, gentlemen.
• 27:58 Josh: I don’t need to find any new hybrid Nephilim.
• 28:06 Josh: Did you know the Bearded Bible Brothers
