Anyone interested in a discussion of these ideas from a Christian perspective would enjoy the Blurry Creatures podcast in general, and probably the stuff with Timothy Alberino in particular. Look up his Empires of the Gods stuff.
Hancock has done some great work but he misses the fact that the Bible actually describes a time when a group of angels/Watchers/(call them aliens if you wish, they were alien to earth) chose to come to earth and intermarry with human women, thus creating giants and all manner of other weird things. Thus we get all the legends of gods and demigods etc.
Man had been given the right to rule Earth, but this crew wanted that for themselves and the only way to obtain it legally was to have offspring that were human enough to carry that right. So the giant offspring of the Watchers became the kings of empires, pointing all their people to worship their fathers the watchers. During that antediluvian time the "gods" walked among men, built incredible empires, etc etc.
For anyone interested, look into the works of Christian scholar Michael Heiser such as his Supernatural Seminar and his FringePop321 video channel. Fringepop explores archaeology and history including topics like these and ancient aliens. He unpacks what the Bible and other texts have to say about nephilim, watchers, and giants.

Pretty crazy stuff.

As long as he does not start with, "The Earth is only 6,000 years old." I will watch it.
I believe in young Earth but not held to a specific date. Much younger than billions. More than 10,000, less than 100,000. Where? Who knows.
Yeah, good stuff. They've had Michael Heiser on Blurry Creatures too.
