Nephilim
“[Flegetanis] knew how to predict the disappearance of each star and the moment of its return… [and saw and spoke of] hidden secrets in the constellations. He declared there was an object called the Grail. He had clearly read its names [name] in the stars.” Wolfram von Eschenbach
The Nephilim Trilogy
KINGS OF AN EPIC AGE
THE NEPHILIM, KINGS OF AN EPIC AGE, is a pioneering work tracking down the story of the enigmatic scions of the gods or Nephilim in ancient Middle Eastern tradition. Commencing with the most ancient strata of traditions of Sumer and Egypt, the focus falls on the earliest known and perhaps greatest of heroic ages, the Epic Age of great Sumerian kings like Gilgamesh and mighty Akkadian god-kings who ruled over the ends of the known world. Their epic traditions, which include some of the greatest legends and myths our world has seen, are brought to life in an unprecedented way.
AN UNHOLY BROOD
THE NEPHILIM, AN UNHOLY BROOD, continues the quest for the traditions of the enigmatic scions of the gods. In a dramatic reassessment of history, the author presents a detailed case for a huge influx of Mesopotamian influences into the Mediterranean during the early second millennium BC, explaining the origins of Heracles, Perseus and Kadmos amongst others. Among the newcomers was an ancient and mysterious race vividly described as the dragon-seed, who spread from Canaan all across the Mediterranean Basin and beyond. Their migrations, movements, religious cults, intriguing myths and secret doctrines are carefully investigated and followed.
GRAIL BLOODLINES
THE NEPHILIM, GRAIL BLOODLINES tracks down traditions concerning the enigmatic scions of the gods or Nephilim in Europe. Commencing with the oldest strata of iconographical portrayals and evidence from the Late Bronze Age in northern and western Europe, a strong and detailed case is made for a huge influx of Mediterranean influences into Europe during the aftermath of the Trojan War. These influences and the related Nephilim traditions brought about a determining and permanent influence on the evolving Celtic cultures of Europe and the British Isles.
