Ok, I see where you got the "revealed" from. But it is only clarification of when/how Book of Enoch was composed, not when the text was available and understood.
If you weren't a scholar, you likely weren't reading the Book of Enoch until after the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls.
Also, until those texts were discovered, it was impossible to have a complete copy of the Book of Enoch. The Ethiopians preserved most of it but the Dead Sea scrolls provided the rest of it.
I haven't read any of it before; sounds very interesting! When reading Genesis, I had always thought that there must have been some kind of "inter-species" mating, when it refers to the sons of God seeing that the daughters of man were beautiful. A friend of mine's favorite saying is, "We don't know what we don't know" :)
According to the Book of Enoch, the Sons of God mentioned in Genesis 6 were fallen angels and their offspring with the daughters of men were the giants AKA Nephilim. As the Nephilim were half angel/half human, they became wandering spirits AKA demons after their physical death.
It really clarifies the Old Testament, why God sent the Great Flood (preserve human DNA) and all the death and destruction of all the tribes in the land of Canaan after the Flood.
These were all tribes of giants mentioned in the Old Testament-
Amalekites
Amorites
Anakims
Ashdothites
Aviums
Avites
Canaanites
Caphtorims
Ekronites
Emins
Emins
Eshkalonites
Gazathites
Geshurites
Gibeonites
Giblites
Girgashites
Gittites
Hittites
Hivites
Horims
Horites
Jebusites
Kadmonites
Kenites
Kenizzites
Maachathites
Manassites
Perizzites
Philistines
Rephaims
Sidonians
Zamzummins
Zebusites
Zuzims
Here's where some of the giant tribes are mentioned, but you can search any individual tribe on biblegateway.com (KJV) if you want more information.
Have any remains/fossils of these ancient Earth inhabitants been recovered? I've read that human artifacts have been found in coal seams, in coal mines, so it would be interesting if there is physical evidence of the "giant" humanoids.
