We have seen how the Biblical book of Enoch tells us that evolution happened by means of fallen angels, or aliens, who bred with animals and with humans.  But is there a historical source more ancient than Enoch, close to the time of the actual events, which supports this idea?

Yes there is.  It is the Gilgamesh epic.  The 4,000 year-old Mesopotamian epic records, "Two-thirds of him is god and one-third of him is man."[1]  This implies that Gilgamesh was a mixture of divine and human ancestry.  According to the Sumerian King List, a document of about the same age, the father of Gilgamesh was a "phantom." 

     The fact that he was two-thirds god is a testimony to the truly bizarre methods of procreation practiced by these "gods."  If he were conceived in the normal fashion with one father and one mother, then he should have been one-half god.  Or, if only one grandparent were a god, then he would have been one-quarter god.  But to be two-thirds god and one-third human suggests some kind of heavenly threesome was responsible for his conception.  The normal biological process by which sperm & eggs are created is called "meiosis," yet here it seems a more appropriate term would be "triosis," for the sperm & eggs were divided three ways.  Evidently, two gods and one human contributed their bodily fluids to the procreation procedures.  In any case, the divinity of Gilgamesh is repeatedly emphasized in the epic, including statements that he is "god-like,"[2] and "Enkidu spoke to the god Gilgamesh,"[3] and "his body contains the flesh of gods."[4] 

     Agni, who was one of the Vedic gods of India, is also said to be "sprung from two mothers."[5]  Together with his father, Agni apparently had three parents.  This hearkens back to Gilgamesh, who also resulted from some kind of heavenly threesome, since he was two-thirds god and one-third human.

     The Gilgamesh epic also describes Gilgamesh as a giant:  "He was eleven cubits tall (16 ½ feet), and his chest was nine spans wide (about 6 feet)."[6] 

     The legend also says, "Gilgamesh did not allow any virgin to be together with the one she loved,"[7] implying that he had a large harem of wives that he stole from other men.  This parallels the Biblical account of nephilim sexual behavior, which testifies, "they took wives of all that they chose."[8] 

     The epic describes several heroic adventures of Gilgamesh, including a brawl with a large hairy animal-man, two monster killings, and an opportunity to have sex with the goddess Ishtar, which he declined because Ishtar was "a slut."  His final adventure nearly took him to the gates of immortality.  On this last quest, he fell short, for even though he was two-thirds god, he was still a mortal destined to die. 

     When this information is taken together, Gilgamesh fits the description of the Biblical nephilim quite nicely as given in Genesis 6:4, "They became classic heroes, mortals with a reputation."  Gilgamesh was certainly a classic hero in Babylonian culture, and he had a reputation, yet he was still a mortal.  Gilgamesh fits the Biblical description of a nephilim to a tee.

          The last phrase of Genesis 6:4, which says that the nephilim were "mortals with a reputation," deserves a short explanation concerning the meaning of the original Hebrew text:  The King James says "men of renown," however, the King James is not precise enough.  The Hebrew word for "men" in Genesis is usually Adam, yet here the Hebrew word or "men" is Enosh, which has the connotation of mortality.  Hence, Genesis clarifies that the nephilim, although children of the gods, were still mortal humans who were destined to die.  Evidently, their partially divine biology did not enable them to escape death.  Even Gilgamesh's fellow nephilim friend, the large hairy animal-man who he got in a fight with, also died.  His name was Enkidu.

Since Gilgamesh dates to a time not too distant from the events it purports to record, namely the Flood, it therefore constitutes a credible corroborating witness for the reality of Enoch's story of the Flood, and for the angelic lust which caused it.  Gilgamesh was written in the early part of the 2^nd millennium BCE.  This is a few hundred years after the Biblical time-frame for the Flood.  Therefore, Gilgamesh is significantly more proximate to the events it purports to describe than Enoch, and may be used to corroborate Enoch, because they independently tell the same historical facts.
