This Is What The World Looked Like Before The Flood

- They say that the land here was cursed and that a vengeful and violent God was never too far away. They say there were abominations of flesh wandering the landscape - giants, monsters, creatures that you and I will never know of again. They say the very world we live in today was once home to so much more - wicked angels, malignant spirits, deities who at their core hated humanity - and that whilst the world today can still be a scary place, the world before the great deluge contained essences… of pure evil.

Am I the only one who thinks a Souls like Dark fantasy rpg set in the pre flood era would be a dope video game 😂
That's an interesting idea
I'm writing such a thing as we speak : )
How dare you put such an awesome idea in my head!
No joke.
Genesis:
After the Fall.
The book of Enoch goes so hard man they keep it hidden.
I have two.
@@happyjo390no you don’t
@marcusbullock
Well, Internet changed that, eh?
I bet that Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are the sons of Satan. As Yahweh is too conservative to invent the Dark Internet and even too oldskool for a Light Internet. So Kahn and Cerf got together and said "Let this matrix roll." Heroes to whom we all are indebted! 😍
@@Hidan-qv5er I have two copies, I have ten bibles amongst other religious literature.
Who's hiding it?
Glory to the most High God!☦️
The most high one, must have the best weed.
A reason to strive for heaven ?
The Flood was absolutely terrifying from everything you hear about it.
Well if the world was that dark surely the flood was a relief to some
So is the story of mordor.
What makes one a fantasy and the other "the truth" ?
@@guruware8612 marine fossils on mt Everest to start with, there is a lot of evidence please take a look
Every ancient cultures talked about a great flood.
Neanderthals were cannibals also ands known that actively hunted other humans so they fit in nicely with the Nephilim mythos
How could they if they all died?
thats what happens as glaciers melt and coastlines erode
@AngiraBlu, You have just said the bible is wrong about the flood. The bible said all life was killed except Noah's family. You can't have it both ways. Either the bible is accurate, or the bible is full of sh1t.
@@dark_natas_666maybe they didn’t
I'm constantly amazed by the rich tapestry of stories explored in these history videos.
If a pragmatist wanted to know which is the path to the true God, he would look to the path that the devil has always tried to disparage, discredit and discourage man from following.
Keyword is “discredit”.. generally when one side of a debate resorts to character assassination to the opposing side, yet doesn’t actually have valid disputes to their position, the side they are trying to discredit has something to it. Could the serpent really have been trying to guide humans to a path of freedom and knowledge? Could “God” have been a slave master tyrant colonizer? Its possible.
Everything that the world pushes today seems to be the opposite of what God pushes. It also seems to be a repeat of history and also a deep hatred of an unseen force and hand for/against man.
Be sure to pick the correct iteration the Devil to draw guidance from. The best place to look for guidance is internally, you know what is right.
JESUS IS LORD ❤
@@sharper68the holy spirit brings us truth, Jesus made it this way. He is the truth, the way, and the life.
Remember when your creating your visuals that the giants had 6 digits on their hands and feet and double rows of teeth
I don think any of those was true. but they were 9-12 feet tall, bearded, caucasoid and had reddish hair

riiiiiiight
@@umwhathe Bible
@@sshreddderr9409also humans can be born with 6 fingers so what’s the issue?
For the next video you mentioned, there is a book called “echos of Ararat” that tells the stories of 300 flood stories from just the western hemisphere alone.
@AngiraBlu yep, and it’s crazy how similar they all are
... commonly known as plagiarism
The biblical flood was taken from sumerian flood stories and reshaped into their religion. The Egyptian priest told Solon there has been many floods and global disasters over the ages.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ and welcome back legend of history
Great video. Thanks for the content!
I know this is from fantasy, but how about Charn from The Chronicles of Narnia: the Magician’s Nephew? The preflooded world was probably so much like Charn, a massive city as big as a planet, filled to the brim with evil that would make ancient Babylonia and Ancient Rome look like elementary school bullies, and make the evil seen in horror movies and horror novels look like Halloween ghost stories, leaving the world an urbanized Mordor.
CS Lewis was a deep occultist revealator.
Is that actually a word?
Let’s assume so.
So, it’s probably best to treat his books as half fantasy - and half text book.
However, we will have see what turns up and out, shortly, to discern which is which.
Seeing is believing.
Only it isn’t.
Very far from it.
Contain your fear - and believe only what is intelligibly sensible.
To Lie - that person has to know The Truth.
The Truth is hidden in The Lie.
Always.
Fear is the mind killer.
As is fatigue, poor nutrition, lack of exercise and low access to sun light.
Focus on those - and things become clearer.
Much clearer.
All else - Lies.
KISS.
Keep it simple, silly.
Keep the faith - hold the line.
☝🏻
Well, things in the bible have been proven, it's not a fairy tail, it is true, ans soon you will find out, I hope you believe before too late.

Love your voice and these narrations. Thanks 🙏
There were different names because of the different languages, but they were referring to the same person. And remember that the devil likes to copy and twist, and add to or take out. Beware. Pray and ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior.
You just used a wrong and inaccurate name for the messiah… no wonder people still doubt his existence. He was not born Roman or Greek so STOP using those words in place of hist actual name. You speak of Satan twisting things… yet how easy is it also for the thoroughly uneducated to pass on their inherited misunderstandings as truth. Are you too a devil. Study to show yourself approved and then you’ll be worshipping in spirit and truth. Stop relying on hand grenade logic and worship with precision and intent.
Did you know that the Original, the first giants became Demons after they were destroyed. The angels that fell with Satan are evil spirits, not demons. Satan angels were KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN, the ones that LEFT their positions create giants with women. The women became sirens after they died. But of course, I'm crazy according to some.
Your not crazy, when the giants "died" during the flood their bodies perished but not their spirits. They inhabit the spirit realm which we could call the 4th dimension. (I can continue if you'd like, it gets weirder)
Go on

Thank you!
In Norse mythology they have a flood story similar to the Enlil version, but instead on human kind that was causing a ruckus, it was the Jötnar, when Óðinn, Vili and Ve killed their grandfather Ymir, blood poured out of his body causing a biblical sized flood that wiped most of the Jötnar out.
Those are trolls basically a giant ugly humanoid that’s violent kinda similar
What you speak of is when the “gods” watched their sons kill one another just prior to the flood.
@christincommon5496 sorry but no, their was no killing prior to the flood, the killing of Ymir and the Jötnar was a result of them being rowdy and chaotic, if you read the Eddas you would understand this.
@@michaelhansen2818 I don’t need to read the “Eddas” to understand what happened, as
The account of what happened appears in other sources, which is how I know that God’s judgment of the fallen angels was having to watch their offspring annihilate each other. It was a blood bath.
@christincommon5496 if you haven't read the poetic and prose eddas, no you don't.
And I'm willing to bet you've never read the book of Enki, or the book of Enoch, those stories tell a different narrative than what's portray in mainstream Christianity.
Awesome video
Wow, this was so cool! I just discovered your channel via this video, and now I'm subscribed (and hooked). As a believer in the God of the bible and the literal young earth model, this was fascinating to me. That era of humanity is shrouded in so much mystery, and only the barest echoes of what it must have been like survive. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!

One of my favorite memes is the one with the time traveler that goes back in time to see Jesus teach his disciples and when he is done he turns to the traveler and in perfect English tells them "You are not supposed to be here." before he touches the traveler and they "wake up" back in their own time. this just kind of came to mind when you were talking about if we found ourselves closer to Adam or Moses's times. Closer you are to the beginning of creation the more likely you would be to experience the works of the divine I'd say is something most assured. Even if the divine ending up being aliens which would kinds be funny in a sense.
It could have become almost customary to build high buildings in case there was another massive deluge as you can see in ancient buildings. It's also very likely the structures like the pyramid was built to act as a leyline to prevent the strange world earth was before.
Awesome
Amazing work ❤️
Looking forward to your next video already!
Imagine making a game based on this.
What would be the goal of the protagonist?
@@Game4oSale to find an ark that can survive the flood

There were Nephilim before and AFTER the flood. Some of those giant skeletons have been found, and some of them had elongated heads. Weird shaped heads. Incidentally, giants are also a recurring element in lots of different legends around the world.
omg, an ancient alien fan
@@guruware8612 I'm not. I'm agnostic on whether or not aliens are real, but I think if they are real they would stay away from Earth for many good reasons.
Goliath and his brothers were from the race of giants from the people of the Philistines. Most likely his ascendents were also. Not all Philistines were giants. Some of the Canaanites were also giants.
@@guruware8612 I don't know whether or not aliens are real, but I don't believe they would come to earth if they are. That ancient aliens stuff is foolishness.
@@jjkhawaiian Right. So it seems that the occurrence of giants has more to do with the region than any particular group.
Well that was interesting ...I've seen the Gateway documents but somehow missed page 25. That's a lot to take in. I feel a little in shock with it. You would think that would be being shouted from the rooftops. This world is in a deep sleep...lol I guess that's the point huh? Thank you for your work on all these great subjects!
I dont like how the creator is being protrayed, like He is some revengeful, bitter and heartless Maker. He didn't like the offering of cain as it was blemished, not great and cain did it with contempt, where as Abel did what He liked with joy and gladness in his heart, so the Maker accepted it. He didn't just want to kill everyone, he gave 120 years notice to the people to change their ways before the flood came, the world as you can see in those days and even now need a cleanse. He also didn't want to sabotage man, he did it, as they built that tower to kill Him for the flood, so he changed languages to destroy their plan. He is a kind, long suffering, sweet, merciful, forgiving and amazing ruler, people just take the piss. HIs wrath is terrible, but it doesn't come unprovoked.
Amen. America is ripe for judgment, as is the rest of the world. God is love and wrath. However, his wrath comes at the end of God's long-suffering and patience, while sending many warnings to repent.
the pre-flood era of the Bible is great for budding fantasy writers to write stories about
I have never heard that version before. Usually, it talks about a perfect world with abundance and unparalled beauty. Interresting
Which narrative speaks of abundance and unparalleled beauty?
@@christincommon5496 myths and legends of Atlantis, which is the antediluvian world. Plato talked about this place. On the legend, there are also Giants, Nephilims, gods and people playing with genetics and creating monsters but only toward the end of this era, before the flood
@@martine123go3 Atlantis was NOT the whole Earth nor included all inhabitants.
Very interesting comparison. What kind of other monsters where present in the Biblical pre-flood? I saw a giant sea monster thing...maybe a tanin?
I would guess the monsters from Greek mythology and such were real before the flood
Humans vs dinosaurs.
The myth of the flood is many believes, i wonder if we could create a pre flood world map

How can she have an upside down cross if Jesus hadn't been crucified yet?
fiction
In one of the apocryphal books there was a very small number of the giants didn't kill or eat people. They lived amongst thier humans mothers people an would fight the gaints that wanted to eat people.
In the book of Enoke the garden was some place else.Enoke was being held by a angel while flying an Enoke looked down an seen the garden but didn't get to go down to it.
Interesting vid and great animations. Makes me wonder why the god of most bibles would have allowed things like the giants to exist to begin with when he knew there wasn't no food source for them.
The world in those days was more thrilling and magical nothing like in our modern days which is dull and boring as f**ck.
Hey at least you won't be eaten by a giant or some kind of lizard person, lol
@@bryanbulmer6716could still happen lol not likely tho
@@bryanbulmer6716 stay away from national and state parks.
It's starting to look that way, now...
The thing with the Great Flood is that the flood itself was ancient to the ancients. I believe that this idea of a flood would have happened in a time when humans were still few in number, and in one location. From there, as human migrated across the world, the flood story would have traveled with them. I think the Mt. Toba eruption is the event that would have triggered this, as the ensuing bottleneck of the population wouldn't have as much knowledge of the pre-eruption world. It would have seemed to them that world was ending to them.
I also don't think the story could have begun with the Sumerians. After all, I don't think it is plausible that peoples as remote as the Polynesians and Mesoamericans could possibly have learned it despite not being contacted by anyone from the old world for so long.
I heard a theory that the story started at the end of the last glacial event. with the ocean rise many coastal settlements, which were some of the most prosperous do to the abundance of the ocean, were flooded out. the refuges from these floods brought the story with them. Cant say how credible this theory is.
Look up Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson...Joe Rogan did an episode with both of them. They explain how most of the world flooded around 11,000 years ago due to some sort of cosmic impact. They show pictures and have proof a huge flood tore through North America then...There is a podcast with Randall Carlson on Rogan by himself...that might be the one you'd enjoy watching most! Very riveting! There's more proof of a global flood at the end of the Younger Dryas than there's proof it didn't happen.
Interesting. I believe the flood covered everything, which is why we find sea shells and such fossilized on top of mountains. And after the flood receded then came the ice. And man had about 1500 years to populate the earth before he flood so I imagine there was many people.
@@aarongronsman2170 people multiplied and covered the Earth after the Flood and the Tower of Babel. Word of mouth was used to spread stories, fiction and true, as people spread over the Earth. History was spread this way before writing existed.
Yup
Enlil harboured no love for mankind. To him, we were simply a tool or means to an end. In the Sumerian account, the Annunaki became aware of a celestial object, on course to hitting Earth (potentially, the younger dryas impact). A meeting was held between the Annunaki leadership where Enlil expressed his irritation at how fast and widespread, humanity had grown. He found us to be a nuisance and put it to a vote that humanity would not be spared from the impending cataclysm. Enki, who saw humanity as his creation and more importantly as his children, protested but was overruled by the council's vote. Enlil knew that Enki would not just accept the ruling so he also made Enki along with the rest of the council swear, that mankind was not to be warned of the coming catastrophe. However, Enki had a plan to alert one of his most favored humans, who was also of his direct bloodline; Noah. And the rest of the story, we know.
Enki is not the father of Jesus christ. Be wise when understanding myths and history.
Enlil tried to wipe most of humanity out with a disease too...
That’s some good crossover fanfic there
Who created mankind?
I think the 200 watchers that made the pack on mt. Hermon, who made a pack before sleeping with the daughters of man and bore the giants, who also taught man kind things, could have also lied to these people back then to make them believe they are good when they are satans.
And it seems the world is slipping back into that type of environment
Ancient humans: *Build this biggest settlements near bodies of water*
Bodies of water: *Overflow and flood, submerging massive swaths of land and said settlements.*
Ancient humans: *surprised pikachu face*
With water, water everywhere it's hard to believe only one man had a boat.
It would make the soil very fertile tho.
Im guessing they got wiped out by giant waves full of mud and rock from the fountains of the deep bursting. Which is why we find animals preserved half way through giving birth and eating a meal.
@@SweetUniverse they didn't know rain. Just morning dew. They didn't even know about boats back then. That's why God had to describe to Noah the supplies to use and how to build the Ark. Physics/science must have been different in those days perhaps.
@@bryanbulmer6716 we have plenty of examples throughout history to know the force of water and the damage it causes/caused. Many floods throughout the Earth. It's very devastating and described as you stated.
Plus could you imagine goimg from the garden with like pigs that roll over and give you amazing bbq to eat the plants, these wretched, dry and thorny planta

Hey man. Is it okay to ask permission to download your videos? I am very interested in them and I wish to preserve such knowledge if something were to happen.
Any One Piece's fans here? Understand every words and sentences, sounds familiar like on the 1:26 he said that the deity who's followed by humans is the one who'll drown them.

Thank God (literally and figuratively) these things aren’t around anymore.
The giants exist as disembodied spirits these they call demons.
Think again. Have you heard of the new mental phenomena called “demon face”? Yeah, it’s a made up thing because people are seeing demons in the flesh these days. Jesus, Yeshua said, “as in the days of Noah…” What do you think he meant? “They” are back! But; our King comes
you think they were ever around? LOLLLLLLL
They didn’t and don’t exist. 🤦🏻♂️ religion is such a evil thing look what it does to humans brains 😂
They are still around, we call them bigfoot, dogman, wendigo, skin walkers, giants, fairies, aliens etc.

The man is the same in all 3 accounts. He's just known by those different names due to culture and language. Just like Michael is the equivalent to Miguel in Spanish, but in Russia it would be Mikhael or Mikhail. And José is the Spanish equivalent to Joe or joseph.
I wonder if the Watchers are get along with, or fight with the angels that fell with Lucifer?
Imagine a kingdom full of envy, ungratefulness and hate. They were not loyal to their Creator, what makes you think they would be to their own?
Samyaza's rebellion and Helel/Lucifer's rebellion are both self serving tyrants.
Yahweh Elohim rid Samyaza millennium ago.
He'll rid us of Lucifer as well.
Baruch Hashem.
I always thought Lucifer and his crew fell first and the watchers figured since God didn’t make hell yet, they figured they could get away with disobeying God and do a better job of ruling the earth. I do enjoy pondering these topics tho
Lucifer is Azazel in the book of Enoch. The scapegoat.

In the book of Enoke it is told God made the flood to save the few pure blooded humans that was left from the giants.
my mum said to me when I was going to sleep when I was little he's off to the land of Nod when I read the Bible when I was older apparently the Land of Nod was the wasteland Adam and Eve went to after being exiled from Eden.

Trees are just a symbols , knowledge we seek and gain, while immortality we have from our Lord ,Jesus Christ .AMEN
First thing God, wasn't and not a bad God he's righteous, true and just, this is why he couldn't leave the wickedness to continue in those days, or he wouldn't be a righteous God, is the same way he will not leave all the wickedness to go on in these days and eras, he's going to bring them to and end once and for all, this is why Jesus Christ came so we are without excuses if we have to continue and die in our sins and wickedness.
Look at Doggerland. And entire country the size of Belgium 20-80 meters below the current north sea. From Britain to Jutland, West Germany and The Netherlands. Antler barber spear points, other tools, mammoth and Neanderthal skulls started be dragged up by herring boats in the early 20th century. No one had suspected it ever existed. It vanished quite suddenly beneath the waves some time around 6500-6200BC.

Oh it did happen causing a cutting up of the land as we know it today .
Dinos rawr
Wow dude,over complicating a bit...in my opinion, Methuselah's extra years of life was more of a favor to all the rest of God's creations because when Methuselah dies the judgement comes, Methuselah means his death shall bring, anything that would be rotting and is as a corpse would not be alive in my opinion 😐
1 thing i believe in period of Noahs Preaching, is it must have been abit Like todays world, in which 1 could tell them, that God Praise Him is a judging God an uses things Like heat floods or whatever disaster it is as a Judgement, an they will just-say Like a former neighbour woman, of a religion i wont name, that it wa-not God, that done it because He is a Loving God.!

I can tell you right now they did not all die. And are still here.
I am interested, please provide details.
Water is ALREADY scary
Theres so many different tellings of the same incident is because of the tower of Babel when God confuses all the languages .
6:33 and this is why i don't believe the deluge tale: with so little nourishment, how could the dinosaurs like sauroposeidon and paragotitan survive and reach sizes like those of their fossils? (Asuming that dinosaurs and man convived, which the fossil record don't support)
It's some animals in the Amazon that are bigger than dinosaurs tribes won't even guide people all the way through...only %20 has been explored..it's plants that shoot poisonous thorns when rubbed against..and it's unknown heavy foot steps no one has seen .so they are not all dead
Multiple languages would have cause confusion and separate us, therefore we would be easier to manipulate and control. One language one people would have unified us. One can draw several thoughts on this.

the "Great Flood" happened at the end of the Younger-Dryas period roughly 12,000 years ago
Hmm, you've been watching Timothy alberino huh?
@@bryanbulmer6716Graham Hancock
How a inverted crucifix when the crucification hadn't took place at the time of the flood..?
The rebel angels, after siring the giants, didn't just "not stick around" "because the giants were so monstrous" - if you read in Enoch, God has the rebel angels who sired giants have to watch their children turn against and kill eachother in bloodthirsty madness, and then, God has the rebel angels thrown into a pit of darkness (think the phantom zone) to be held for 70 generations. - nevertheless, these rebel angels didn't reject the giants. They were their progeny. It was a punishment on those rebel angels to see their giant children kill eachother in an event called, "The War of the Giants" - which is also chronicled in Greek Mythology as the Titanomachi (forgive me if my spelling is off).
bravo❤️
Anyone here have details about the mutated animals?
Why is there a dinosaur in the thumbnail? The Israelites had no conception such things existed...
Dragons
There are very old tapestries from well before dinosaurs were recognised as they are today depicting men riding dinosaurs as we would recognise them into battle. At that time in history the only limited recognition people had of dinosaurs were that they were dragons and they were depicted looking very different from what we know they looked like today as shown on the tapestries
They knew through the story of Job that massive creatures lived on the Earth, starting with Leviathan (water) and Behemoth(Earth). Man killers, but no match for God as he created them. I'm sure they must've had offspring. Perhaps with dragons or other creatures. We know very little from the Bible. However, there must be other ancient texts that speaks of these massive creatures. Maybe in the Apocrypha or other texts.
I would of loved to see how the world was back then. But people are all the same, no matter what culture you live in.
