I think that all religious texts, like every mythology, is a cool base for the comics and generally cool to explore, but no, I won't consider them true history.

This is the kind of history that makes more sense to me. :sweat_02:

Edit: I do own a graphic novel set 10,000 years ago. I fell in love with the artwork, but I do think it blends archaeological knowledge with mythology (and horror) really well.

It could be or could be not. Nobody knows for sure. (Unless we invented a time machine to get proof but that would open Pandora's box of problems if you know time travel stories :smile:)

But it's not like if I made a thread and shared this video with the same question cause you know it's made up. xD

My brothers in Christ, if you wanna make a sexy comic about breeding with angels then go for it, but as a Christian most translations of the mythos would go against this as cannon

Me, agnostic, but born Catholic with 15 years of religious study and a former Science teacher for a decade:

Youtube videos aren’t always credible sources, and neither are a lot of books or things that you might find on the Internet. Credible sources require years of peer reviewed research and confirmation.

History is a science. Scientific standards of a theory or report, like several known and reliable independent sources, validation by experiment, objective evidence and so on have been developed since ancient greece only a few hundred years before Christ. So the question: Is the old testament historically accurate? is invalid and would only be answered with bewilderment by the narrators. Of cause not and that could not be a criterion to write it in the first place.
If you compare the new testament, you can see higher standards: They give us an objectively measurable birthdate of their prophet with reference to a reliant second source - the tax list update of the roman empire under Augustus.

I don't believe it's real history, remember that back in the day where technology was even something of the Devil, it could have simply been that people "Different from what was either seen or acceptable" Became the origin of those myths, since back then people didn't had the resources and materials to obtain the logic answers we'll be having today, GH is a diagnosis today, but in the past it wouldn't have been surprising that people addresed individuals with it as Giants, or being somewhat related to myths from their cultures.

I get you were sheltered and belonged for a long time to a hyper religious family, but try to be careful about not being easily influenced by whatever you see on the internet, it almost sounds as if you're desperate to have a new place where to put blind unquestionable faith, which has been proved that hyper religious people tend to fall into rabbit holes of conspiracy theories and superstitions caused by their lack of questioning or critical thinking.

This is mostly caused since they were raised to not make questions, don't question the all mightly Lord or Object of Divine adoration, since it was considered blasphemy, heresy and even a sin. Make sure not to go around blindly believing stuff just because you think it sounds amazing or whatever, a lot of times people avoid critical thinking simply because they rather avoid any kind of feeling related to guilt.

As well, there are a lot of comics, books and stories made with Nephilim or wahtever stuff from religions or different concepts, some may have took parts and bits from these concepts and myths, but not necessarily everything.
