7. The degeneration of human beings

​

The Height of Adam and Eve 

 

The authentic Sunni sahih hadith reported by Abu Hurairah states that Adam was created at a height of 60 cubits (about 30 meters high) |Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 55, Hadith 543|.

 

  • ¶ The Man was as high as a palm-tree, and the hair of his head was long and thick, etc. |Jahias, p. 270|

 

According to other sources, Adam's height was reduced to about 15 meters when he was driven out of the garden and after the flood the height of humans progressively degenerated to this modern height, due to sin, estrangement from ELOHIM and poor diet.

 

In the Testament of Abraham it is clearly mentioned that Adam had a gigantic size.

  • ¶ And I saw there a man very great in height and fearful in breadth, incomparable in aspect, embracing a woman, who likewise approximated to the aspect and shape of the man. And they were standing under a tree of (the Garden of) Eden, and the fruit of this tree was like the appearance of a bunch of grapes of the vine, and behind the tree was standing as it were a serpent in form, having hands and feet like a man’s, and wings on its shoulders, six on the right side and six on the left, and they were holding the grapes of the tree  in their hands, and both were eating it whom I had seen embracing. |The Apocalypse of Abraham Chap 23:2-3 |

 

It is also reported that the body of Hawa or Eve was buried in the district of Ammaria, in the center of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.  The tomb is mentioned in many classic travel stories from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cemetery where the tomb is located is accessible only to Muslims and the entrance gate is heavily guarded by security. It is said that Eve's body is very large and long: her head is at one end of the cemetery, her body under the well in the center, and her feet at the other end several meters away. According to some scholars and historians, although all historical references agree on the presence of Eve in this part of the world at some point in ancient history, they disagree on the exact location of her tomb. One would then assume that there is indeed the skeleton of a massive human being in this tomb but it is probably not the body of Eve. 

​

​

It is mentioned in the Book of the Conflict of Adam and Eve that they could easily walk from one part of the earth to another: from East to West or from North to South. This would only have been possible if they were of very great height. 

​

To that effect, we find biblical verses that seem to mention that some transformations occured on our predecessors who underwent biblical divine punishments:

​

A petrification, that is to say they were: ​

​

Either stupefied or paralyzed due to a strong emotion.

  • Exodus 15:16 "Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone"

 

Or their remains were transformed into mineral bodies, which occurs when a body has been in calcareous water for a long time. 

 

Or their remains were transformed into a stony substance.

  • Exodus 15:5 "The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone."​

 

A fusion of their corpses with mountains, valleys and ravines.

  • Ezekiel 32:4-6 I will leave you on the land; I will cast you on the open field. And I will cause all the birds of the heavens to dwell on you, And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with you.. I will lay your flesh on the mountains, And fill the valleys with your refuse. I will also make the land drink the discharge of your blood. As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you.

​

Strangely enough, there are rocks, boulders, and mountains all over the world that which are very real, very mysterious, and bewildering places, that strongly resemble antediluvian or pre-historical giants. These very disturbing places seem to corroborate the writings of Ezra concerning the reduction in size of humans and of what existed.

​

CSome call these rocks Pareidolia or Mimetoliths, in other words they are just natural rock formations and what we think we see is just a figment of our imagination. Now, according to historical accounts, the presence of giants was a common belief. In 79 AD, the Roman historian Flavius Josephus reported:

  • "There were giants. Much bigger and different from normal people. It is horrible to watch. Who has not seen with his own eyes, he can not believe that they were so huge."

​

Note that these sites, which should attract flocks of tourists, are hardly advertised or talked about. It also seems that those who were building cities near these sites were very careful to preserve them in remote areas, difficult to access and out of the public eye. All these elements put together could also imply the following facts:

​

1 - These could be the remains of the sons of fallen angels, however, due to their extraordinary size, it isn't possible to conceal them. As such, they are discreetly preserved in remote locations, either difficult or off-limits. And they are also preserved by organizations such as UNESCO. ​

​

2 - ELOHIM allowed these sights to endure as a testimony to this historic event. ​ 

  • Isaiah 46:8-9 "Remember this, and be assured; Cause it to return to your heart, you transgressors. Remember the former things long past"

  • Job 8:8 "Inquire of the former generations, pay attention to the experience of their ancestors."

 

Here are a few images, you be the judge.

​

​

Furthermore, over the years, the height of humans kept decreasing due to sin, growing alienation from ELOHIM and poor nutrition. The following books seem to speak of the degeneration of mankind as a very real fact. The book of Ezra, of which only a few chapters were added to the biblical canon, reveals in the second publication, which was classified as apocryphal, that our predecessors had a much more impressive stature than ours. The older our beloved Earth gets, the more men decrease in height. It would therefore not be surprising the first humans produced giants, because they themselves were of great size.

  • "He answered me, and said, Ask a woman who bears children, and she shall tell you. Say to her, Why are to they whom you have now brought forth not like those that were before, but smaller of stature? And she herself shall answer you, They that be born in the the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb fails, are different. Consider you therefore also, how that you and your contemporaries are smaller in stature than those that were before you. And those who come after you will be smaller than you, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth".  |The Second Book of Ezra / Esdras, Chap 5:53-55|| ​​

​

In the Book of Jubilees, it is writtent:

  • "And the heads of the children shall be white with grey hair, and a child of three weeks shall appear old like a man of one hundred years, and their stature shall be destroyed by tribulation and oppression."  |The Book of Jubilees, Chap 23:25|

​

In the Apocalypse of Moses, it is written:

"And the beasts over whom you ruled shall rise up against you. You shall be weakened because you have not kept my commandments." |Section Jugement of Adam, Eve and the Serpent, verset 24.4|

 

If one holds to the Holy Scriptures, the evolution (or rather the degeneration) of man would look like this:

​

​

Although Adam's height cannot be defined, it is fair to say that he was a massive human being with a stature far beyond our imagination. .
