The Forbidden Watcher Knowledge That Survived the Flood

What if the forbidden knowledge of the Watchers survived the Flood?

The Book of Jubilees tells the strange story of Kainam, a descendant of Noah who discovered ancient writings carved into stone containing teachings about the sun, moon, stars, celestial omens, and the signs of heaven. He copied what he found, concealed it from Noah, and became part of a tradition connecting forbidden knowledge with the post-Flood world.

Even more mysterious, Kainam appears in Luke's genealogy of Jesus and the ancient Septuagint, yet is absent from Genesis in most modern Bibles.

Kyle follows this trail through Scripture, Jubilees, the rise of celestial religion in Mesopotamia, Nimrod and Babel, Abraham's family in Ur and Haran, and ancient sites including Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe. The investigation eventually reaches later traditions involving Chaldean astrology, Hermeticism, and the Emerald Tablet.

But the most important contrast may be between Kainam and Abraham himself.

One looked to the heavens for hidden knowledge. The other learned to look beyond the heavens to the God who created them.
