To the Seed of Cain, Gilgamesh is a Hero; To the Seed of Adam, He's a Villain
By Juan Fermin, December 29th, 2025
Once again we encounter the war of two seeds, as explained earlier in Serpent Seed, Hybrid Bloodlines, and the War for Human DNA. It is the ancient, unrelenting enmity between two bloodlines: the corrupted line of the Serpent and Cain, and the righteous line of Adam and the promise. If you havn't read our first of the series, you can check it out here.
The broken lines first reveal the scions of the high command: Ohya and Hahya, Giant sons of Shemihaza, chief of the two hundred Watchers. Yet their names betray a divine mockery—cries of "Oh, Lord!" or "Where is the Lord?"—etched into their very beings. They were princes of the new, dreadful order. Their strength was a paradox, their dominion haunted. For into their fortified sleep crept visions not of conquest, but of judgment: a celestial stone plummeting to earth—not a mere metaphor, but the precise, terrifying vision of a comet’s heart, a mountain of ice and rock screaming through the upper air to strike the northern wastes. Its fire would be the furnace that melted the skies, triggering a great winter and unleashing the fountains of the deep. The dream was of what we know today as the "Younger Dryas Impact Theory". Where a massive rock or block of Ice shattered the Icecaps and drowned the world in 400' of rising Ocean. There was no escaping God's Judgement. They convened councils of the mighty, their voices thunderous with the pride of hybrid power.
We find these "Mighty Men of Old" named in the Hindu Texts as Daityas and Rakshasas, the Chinese as ancient giants in folklore, the Ancient North and South American as Quinametzin or other colossal builders, the Indian, Egyptian, and Greek texts as Titans or Asuras, the Ancient Tamil as massive warriors in epic lore, and Japanese as oni-like beings. We only remember the names of the Giants and Sons of the Fallen that didn't want to rule, like Hercules. All the others we've forgotten, but in these Councils, they believed that they were the Inheritors of the Earth. They and their children would be the future rulers.
In yet another shared nightmare that all the world's Giants and Watchers shared, The great trees were severed at their roots—not just any tree, but the Pillars of the World themselves. They saw the great, columnar monuments that connected their realm to the heavens—towers of living stone, the last roots of a pre-adamic world—suddenly sheared off by a force of unimaginable power, with nothing left but the stumps, like we see at Devil's Tower or Gilbert Hill. This was no natural felling. It was divine surgery, the cutting down of the very pathways between realms to seal their prison before the deluge came. The dream was of the Sealing. With no ark reserved for their kind.
2. The Great Subversion: Gilgamesh and the Guardian
And then, the most devastating fragment of all: a name that echoes through the millennia, deliberately inscribed among the sons of Ohya. Gilgamesh.
To the kingdoms of Mesopotamia, the Seed of Cain, he is the Flame of Uruk—the demi-god, the slayer of monsters, the hero who sought life eternal. His epic is their founding myth of glorious, god-touched power.
The keepers of this scroll render a different verdict.
Here, in the true record of the antediluvian world, Gilgamesh is listed not with the heroes, but with the horde. His celebrated “divine” portion is identified as the polluted essence of the Watchers. His quest was not heroic, but the frantic, genetic rebellion of a hybrid against the mortal sentence placed upon his kind.
The scrolls reframe his greatest deed. His foe, Humbaba (called Hobabish in these fragments), was no mere monster. He was the appointed Guardian of the Cedar Forest—a sacred realm whose towering trees held the Trees of Life and Knowledge, perhaps the last remnant of a guarded, Edenic order. Gilgamesh, in his desperate gambit to seize the knowledge that would extend his life, did not vanquish him in honorable combat. The Epic of Gilgamesh itself betrays the darker path: deceit. He disarmed the Guardian with lavish gifts and false vows of kinship, stripping away his divine terrors through treachery. Only then did he strike.
Thus, the hero’s famed conquest takes on a darker, more specific blasphemy. He did not merely slay a monster; he collaborated in the desecration of one of the last remaining structures of the primordial world—an act that may have hastened the very judgment dreamed of by his own kin. His “heroic” killing of “the monster” was in truth the despicable slaying of the Guardian of the Tree of Life.
Thus do the scribes perform their ultimate act of subversion. They take the pinnacle of Cainite glory and recast him as the archetype of doomed usurpation. Your foundational hero, the Book of Giants declares, was our anathema. His epic is not a song of glory, but a testament to the sin that demanded the Flood.
3. The Messenger of Doom: The Giant Mahaway
From among them arose Mahaway, giant son of the Watcher Baraq’el, a figure of tragic function. When the shared dream-plague shook the council of giants, it was Mahaway they sent as emissary. His mission: to cross the corrupted earth and seek Enoch, the Scribe of Righteousness, the one mortal who could read the tablets of heaven.
Consider the terrible poetry of his errand. A huge being born of the forbidden union, his very body a testament to sin, was chosen to seek clarity from the fountain of purity. He returned with neither hope nor pardon, but with a sealed decree. Mahaway, the hybrid, became the bearer of his own extinction—the first to know, in full, the absolute nature of the coming wrath.
4. The Unbroken Line: An Echo in Later Scripture
This is not an isolated tradition. The same schism echoes in the Book of Moses, where the prophet Enoch stands alone against "giants in the earth" (Moses 8:18). There, a giant figure named Mahijah—a clear echo of Mahaway—comes to question Enoch, embodying the same desperate clash between the corrupted hybrids and the faithful line. The pattern repeats, a testament to the enduring war of the seeds.
The names have been given. Ohya and Hahya, drunk on power yet sick with nightmare. Mahaway, the doomed messenger. Gilgamesh, the hero unmasked. They are no longer shadows. They are the personalized face of the corruption that heaven could no longer abide.
But what were the dreams that shattered them? What precise visions of the end were written on the heavenly tablets? In the next scroll, we will read the nightmares of the giants.
