Book of Giants
The Book of Giants is a collection of ancient texts that tells the story of the Nephilim, the giant offspring of fallen angels (called Watchers) and human women. It expands on the brief mention in Genesis about giants existing before the flood, describing their violent and destructive behavior, their terrifying dreams, and their eventual downfall. The book exists in several versions, including Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a later, more complete Manichean version found in Central Asia.
