Were the legends of giants merely myth, or do they echo a forgotten truth buried beneath millennia of cultural memory?
In this exclusive interview, independent scholar Willem McLoud takes us deep into the world of ancient Mesopotamia, Canaan, and the Mediterranean, uncovering the mysterious threads that connect the Hurrians, the Pelasgians, and the Nephilim of biblical lore. Drawing on over three decades of research, McLoud explores how dragon-slayer myths, giant traditions, and heroic lineages may point to real historical undercurrents and spiritual frameworks long obscured by time.
What if the ancient world preserved the memory of beings who were more than just men—offspring of gods, builders of empires, and carriers of sacred bloodlines?
Dr Willem McLoud is an independent South African scholar whose main interests are ancient Middle Eastern studies, Kantian philosophy and philosophy of science. Willem’s main areas of study regarding the ancient Middle East are the Sumerian, Akkadian and early Egyptian civilizations, with special focus on the Uruk and Akkadian Periods in Mesopotamian history as well as the Old Kingdom Period in Egyptian history
