House of David, Goliath & the Hill of the Skull
from Megalithic Marvels · host Derek Olson
Being that I recently finished watching Amazon Prime's new hit series "House of David," I begin this episode sharing my impressions of it. The series follows the biblical story of the ultimate under-dog David, who faces off against the most infamous giant in history, Goliath. Watching this series led me down a deep research rabbit hole concerning the origins of Goliath. Who was he really? Was he more than just a tall human as the mainstream narrative has lead us to believe? And who were "The Watchers" and the enigmatic "Nephilim" that the Bible, the Book of Enoch and other ancient texts and historians speak of? In preparing for his battle with Goliath, why exactly did David select five smooth stones from the stream? After his victory over Goliath, why did David cut off the giant's head and transport it to a far away city? What is the seed of the serpent and why does an ancient prophecy in Genesis seem to connect Christ’s crucifixion with a mysterious location known as the “Hill of the Skull” in Jerusalem? You definitely do not want to miss this one…ISRAEL/ PETRA TOUR
