Have archaeologists unearthed the skeleton of an alien? Uh … no. This piece by Doubtful News will tell you all you need to know. Best line:
Thanks Yahoo for, once again, making a sensational piece of garbage out of an interesting archaeological find. Why is [sic] aliens even mentioned? Oh, right… unapologetic click-baiting.
How true.
By the way, I’m still waiting for someone to show me the Bible verse where nephilim and other giant clan members had elongated skulls. (Yes, I know this skeleton wasn’t a giant. I just couldn’t resist the reminder).
To be almost fair to Yahoo! Most of the article was good (if way too short) and they quoted one of the archeologists stating that the elongation was due to head binding. It was only in the last paragraph that aliens were mentioned. While this was definitely not needed, it kind of looked like Yahoo! was more mentioning that various fringe groups were calling this an “alien” rather than actually claiming it themselves.
Yes, it was click bait but at least it wasn’t Stichin-style click bait.
granted – not quite the History Channel/Sitchin level.
I saw this the other day. The story I read said the… pro alien (?)… people said even if it was determined to be human, it’s still proof of alien visitation because the humans obviously elongated their skulls to look like the aliens.
The story also noted that people of this area are known to have engaged in this practice using ropes to elongate their skulls.
But…
ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111
It’s like an ode to insipid thinking.
“Ode to Insipid”
You’ve stumbled into the “cosmic realm”(<-lousy book title).
The nearly unlimited human potential for producing varying sound waves without exciting any sane form of comprehensabilty.

Mind where you park.
Best.
Of course the truth is that the aliens only developed the shape of their heads (because they control evolution) after observing humans deforming their heads and liking the results.
Of course. Lots of real data to support that. Liked it.
Why would a nephilim skeleton be found in russia anyways? There is no reference to the Nephilim inhabiting the far north in any verse i’ve seen. They seem to only have been in the near-east. I would probably check southern mesopotamia if I were looking for nephilim remains.
The accessibility of information through the internet, the un-confirmable “over there” effect of placing things in Russia, the presence of actual denosovian skeletons in that general area, and the fondness of the Russian Orthodox Church for the “Book of Enoch”.
Denisovans were a species of bipedal primate no taller than human beings. What do they have to do with nephilim?
nothing 🙂
I’m really not intending to be insulting when I say this but what do the bones of extinct prehistoric mammals such as mammoths have to do with the nefilim? They have been used as evidence of non-human humanoids (nefilim) by people who have no idea what they’re talking about. I can pretty much guarantee that the discovery of denisovian bones in the Urals (I believe) have been woven into nefilim mythology just as have been alien abductions and reptilian overlords. The whole nefilim business has been blown way out of hand considering that they were originally just the mythic heroes of old such Herakles, Nimrod (who was someone’s hero), Danel, and the like.
For sure it’s ridiculous, but his note on the size differential is noteworthy. (But the non-applicability of those remains could simply be explained as nephilim theorists not knowing about it; they often don’t care to check much of anything).
