The Bible tells of a strange and terrifying group of beings known as the Nephilim, described in Genesis 6 as the offspring of fallen angels and human women. These hybrid entities are linked to giants in the land of Canaan, tribes such as the Anakim and Rephaim, that Israel encountered during its conquest under Joshua. Jesus Himself warned that in the last days, conditions would be “as in the days of Noah,” leading many prophecy watchers to believe the Nephilim will once again play a role in end-times deception.
Strange Skulls and Shattered History
On a recent episode of The Eric Metaxas Show, host Eric Metaxas welcomed back researcher and author L.A. Marzulli to discuss his decades-long investigation into the trail of the Nephilim. Marzulli pointed to the discovery of elongated skulls in Paracas, Peru, which he says provide physical evidence of a nonhuman lineage.

“This skull is a model, a one-to-one model created by Joe Taylor. It came out of Paracas, Peru,” Marzulli explained. “First of all, the haplogroup, the mitochondrial DNA, comes from the Middle East. That rewrites history. We’ve done carbon 14 dating and the C14 dating is about 1,935 years ago. So, that’s obviously pre-Columbian.”
Marzulli stressed that many of these skulls lack the features of artificially deformed crania, insisting, “The orbits are about 20 to 25% larger than a human being. There is no sagittal suture. This is not like our skulls.”
From Canaan to Peru: Following the Trail of Giants
Drawing from biblical and historical records, Marzulli argued that the Nephilim tribes did not vanish but dispersed after Joshua drove them from the Promised Land. “There was a western diaspora of these tribes. They fled the promised land,” he said. Quoting the historian Procopius, Marzulli cited an inscription found in North Africa: “We are those who fled from the face of Joshua the son of Nun, the robber.”
From there, he believes the tribes spread into the Mediterranean, Europe and eventually the Americas, leaving behind megalithic structures such as dolmens, standing stones, and massive earthworks. “These are the fingerprints of the supernatural,” he said. “Mainstream archaeology doesn’t like that, but giants were discovered. They fit back into the biblical prophetic narrative.”
UFOs, Fallen Angels and a Coming Deception
Metaxas pressed Marzulli on the modern implications of this theory. Marzulli connected the ancient Nephilim to today’s UFO phenomena, claiming they are not extraterrestrials but manifestations of fallen angelic activity. “They are interdimensional entities with a very nefarious agenda,” he said, pointing to Daniel 2:43: “Their seed will mingle with the seed of men, but they will not cleave to them.”
“This is why the Genesis 3:15 Scripture is so paramount in our discussion,” Marzulli continued. “It is absolutely profoundly a cosmic moment. All I’m doing is connecting the dots. And it’s here and it’s happening.”
Why Spiritual Warfare Requires Caution
Beyond the evidence and theories, Marzulli gave sobering warnings about confronting this realm without God’s direction. He recalled the late Henry Gruver’s near-fatal experience at the Serpent Mound in Ohio, where Gruver attempted to pray down a pagan altar without the Lord’s leading. “The Lord says finally, ‘I didn’t tell you to go here, Henry. I didn’t tell you to come here. This is the sin of presumption.’ And so Henry repents. The Lord frees him,” Marzulli recounted.
He emphasized that exposure is part of the believer’s mission, but recklessness is dangerous. “Expose, but don’t seek. Exposing something is one thing. That’s our mission statement: to expose the deception of the prince, the power of the air, herald the return of Jesus. But don’t go seeking,” he warned.
All Roads Lead Back to Genesis 3:15
For Marzulli, all these discoveries and phenomena, from elongated skulls and ancient megaliths to UFOs and even Bigfoot, tie into the same cosmic struggle. “We are looking at and we are exposing the deception of the prince of the power of the air,” he said. “That’s what we’re doing here from the Nephilim, elongated skulls, UFOs, Sasquatch. All of this is cooked up in Hell’s Kitchen. All of it.”

Marzulli’s work underscores his conviction that what began in Genesis 3:15, the enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, continues to manifest in the present day. And as he reminded listeners, Jesus’ words point to the end of the age: “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
