The Nephilim
However, the author depiction them as merely slow-witted giants. What are your thoughts on this?

I think he did that to fit in with the narrative, the plot of the story. I don't think the author wanted the Nephilim to be so significant in the book. There were enough trouble causers like Cain and lamechNazzo wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 07:10 I didn't really like/agree with the author's portrayal of the Nephilim. According to the bible, the Nephilim were sons of God who came down from heaven, married human women, and also had children with them. They were also renowned and known as heroes of old (Gen. 6:4).
However, the author depiction them as merely slow-witted giants. What are your thoughts on this?

Yeah, this makes sense. The author rightly categorises it as non-fiction, so I guess he has the liberty to insert his interpretations.

There were definitely other creative licenses that were taken so I agree with you. Just something to spice up the story a bit.

I definitely agree. It was stated under the fiction genre so before reading the book I think it is necessary not to expect it to be biblically accurate.
