However, by carefully comparing and collating African lore with Sumerian and other ‘mythology’ especially as demystified by Zecharia Sitchin and others, and also liberally including my own astounding discoveries, I have gone further than everyone else in unpacking their full and true story. And what helped me most was the discovery that Sumerian – arguably the oldest written language and therefore containing the earliest stories – is but an ancient though recognisable form of Setswana.
Now, what emerges from this ancient association is that giants and gods were similarly named because they were both ‘sky-beings’. Indeed, the base word dimo means ‘up-high [in the sky]’. But while Sumerian and other mythologies make it absolutely clear that this is where the gods claimed to have come from (thus Anunnaki: ‘Those from the heavens (a nu) who stayed (nna) on Earth (Ki)’), not a great deal is known or revealed about giants. However, both the canonical (recognised, accepted) Book of Genesis (6:1-4) and the apocryphal (ignored, repressed) Book of Enoch (Chapter 6) recount that a certain group of ‘angels’ (read: ‘gods’) came down from ‘Heaven’, married the ‘daughters of Adam’ (ordinary human women), and begat unruly giants that were most fortunately wiped out in the Great Flood in which only Noah and his family survived. Unfortunately this story is, at best, very economical with the truth…as we will soon find out.
