No weapons formed against me will prosper.
As much as we can read Scriptures, we also need to consider much of archaelogical records of the past of other civilisations that were around with the Jews. The Books of Enoch also confirms much the same, but was not accepted by those who were canonising the books.
This is just information to get a better idea of other civilisations records.
The Sumerian Watchers are another story from long lost records.
In Julian Jaynes, “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind”:
“...The astonishing consistency from Egypt to Peru, from Ur to Yucatan, wherever civilizations arose, of death practices and idolatry, of divine government and hallucinated voices, all are witness to the idea of a different mentality than our own.”
"The gods were in no sense ‘figments of the imagination’ of anyone. They were man's volition.”
Zecharia Sitchin, “The Stairway to Heaven”:
“Throughout Mesopotamia, from the earliest times of Sumer and Akkad, all lands were owned by gods, and men were their slaves. Of this, the cuneiform texts leave no doubt whatever. Each city-state had its own principal god, and the king was described in the very earliest written documents that we have as ‘the tenant farmer of the god'”
Zecharia Sitchin, “Genesis Revisited”:
“... The Akkadians called their predecessors Shumerians, and spoke of the Land of Shumer…It was, in fact, the biblical Land of Shin'ar. It was the land whose name - Shumer - literally meant the “Land of the Watchers”. It was indeed the Egyptian “Ta Neter- Land of the Watchers”, the land from which the gods had come to Egypt.”
Robert Graves and Raphael Patai, “Hebrew Myths: The Book of Genesis”:
“It was from that planet [Nibiru], the Sumerian texts repeatedly and persistently stated, that the Anunnaki came to Earth. The term literally means 'Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came.' They are spoken of in the Bible as the Anakim, and in Chapter 6 of Genesis are also call Nefilim, which in Hebrew means the same thing: Those Who Have Come Down, from the Heavens to Earth.”
“The Anakim may have been Mycenaean Greek colonists, belonging to the 'Sea Peoples' confederation which caused Egypt such trouble in the fourteenth century B.C. Greek mythographers told of a Giant Anax ('king'), son of Heaven and Mother Earth, who ruled Anactoria (Miletus) in Asia Minor. According to Appollodorus, the disinterred skeleton of Asterius ('starry'), Anax's successor, measured ten cubits. Akakes, the plural of Nanx, was an epithet of the Greek gods in general. Talmudic commentators characteristically make the Anakim three thousand cubits tall.”
