    About this ebook

    This is an easy-to-read book suited to anyone with an interest in angels or demons. Ancient texts tell us that the Watchers were a class of angel who came to earth and taught weapons, spell potions, root cuttings, astrology, astronomy and alchemy to the humans living on earth. Some of the Watchers slept with human women. For this they were thrown into Tartarus and tortured.
    Idioms such as the mistranslation "sons of God," which have rightly confused those who have no knowledge of ancient languages, are explained fully. 
    The book avoids theology, and instead looks at actual evidence.
    Find out what the Watchers really were!

    About the Author.
    Dr. A. Nyland spent her time on Faculty at the University of New England, Australia, teaching ancient grammar, conducting a lengthy replication of a Bronze Age horse training text, and drinking espresso. 
    She is the best selling translator of such books as The Complete Books of Enoch and author of What Were the Watchers? as well as Nephilim and Giants.
    The information based on her books is not based on her own opinions, but is presented with a view to getting actual facts out there. This is harder and harder in this day and age with misinformation spreading like wildfire on the net, driven by all the books by authors who know no ancient languages, and get their information from English translations rather than the original texts. It is futile to research ancient texts in English translation.

      What were The Watchers? Discover the Truth! - Dr. A. Nyland

      Chapter 1

      Introduction

      This is not information that you would get on the internet. I have a Ph.D. in ancient languages and was on Faculty at the University of New England, Australia. I certainly don’t wish to blow my own trumpet, but I am sure you want to know that you can trust what you are reading. Most people head for google when they want information, but if you googled information on Watchers, you would likely come away not only confused, but with a whole lot of trash and nonsense.

      The Watchers, sometimes also known as Fallen Angels, capture the imagination of many people. Bear in mind, there were more Fallen Angels than just the Watchers. Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of incorrect information about the Watchers on the net. I am sure you are aware that the internet these days perpetuates considerable amounts of wildly misleading misinformation. I actually shut down my Facebook account as I was tired of continually seeing shared posts of hoaxes. Some of these hoaxes were several years old, but they have still been shared up to the present day, and have had thousands of recent Likes and comments.

      Last year, for example, there was a shared Facebook post that a celebrity had died. For three days, thousands upon thousands of Facebook people were saying how sad they were that this celebrity was dead. Of course, the news that he was alive finally got out, but you can see how misinformation spreads like wildfire on the net, and most people accept it without giving it a second thought. Recently, there was a shared post stating that a certain food was dangerous as it contained H2O. This post was shared by thousands of people, many of whom added horrified comments. These people did not realize that H2O was actually water. In fact, this post was started in order to show how incorrect information can spread, and take in unsuspecting people.

      Anyone can write a book and appear knowledgeable, to those who do not know otherwise, about a subject. There are no Book Police to come along and tell readers that the information simply isn’t true. For example, Zecharia Sitchin told everyone he was a Sumerian scholar. He was not. Sitchin appeared to have, at best, a basic grasp of some Sumerian words, but it is now known without a doubt that his stated meanings of Sumerian words were way off base, and that he at times confused Hebrew and Aramaic.

      All the information about the Watchers is found in ancient texts - there is no modern information on the Watchers. Ancient texts are often sensationalized, or misunderstood, by modern writers who can speak only English, and have zero knowledge of ancient languages (although some falsely claim that they do, in order to sell their books, or for other reasons known only to themselves).

      The information (some correct, some far-fetched) we can find on the internet and in many modern books about Watchers is that they were evil, that they were alien astronauts, they were led by Satan, and/or that they had something to do with Lucifer, they were associated with beings called the Grigori, that they were Sumerian, that they themselves were the Nephilim, and the list goes on.

      Now, I must address facts and opinion. There is a difference. When people had the opinion that the earth was flat, the fact was that the earth was round. This book deals with factual evidence only, rather than opinion. You can have an opinion that the Watchers were this or that, but this book will give you the actual facts as to what the ancient writers said. Of course, we only have a small fraction of information about what or who the Watchers were. Still, a lot of the information on the net is shown to be wrong as it is in direct opposition to what the ancient writers said.

      To explain a little further with an example. If you wish to believe that the Watchers came from another galaxy, I will not try to disagree, as the ancient texts say nothing about this. If however, you say that the Watchers were Sumerians, I will say that they were not, as the ancient texts do have plenty of evidence that the Watchers were not from Sumer.

      When dealing with ancient beings, we can only look at what the ancient sources themselves actually tell us. Opinion is no use to us if it is direct disagreement with the facts. So then it’s fine to think that the Watchers were ancient astronauts if you wish, but please do not think that they were mentioned in Sumerian texts, as we know for a fact that they were not. Please do not think that Watchers were Nephilim, as we also know for a fact that they were not.

      What do we know? We do know that Watchers were a type of angel. Ancient writers mention many types of angel: Seraphim, Cherubim, Ophanim, and so on.

      What do we actually know about angels? Please bear with me as I have to get a bit technical here. These ancient texts were not written in English. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. None of these languages have letters that are the same as English letters.

      This brings me to the difference between translation and transliteration.

      Translation means to put something from one language into another – it is the meaning.

      Transliteration is not the meaning – it is simply putting the letters from one language into letters of another language. You do not do this with French and English for example, as French and English have the same letters.

      Example 1.

      Ancient Greek word.

      Transliteration.

      Psyche.

      Translation.

      Soul.

      Example 2.

      Ancient Greek word.

      Transliteration.

      Bontheia.

      Translation.

      Help.

      Now, the word angel that we have in English, is the transliteration of the Greek word (that is, it is simply putting the Greek letters into the English letters) – it is not the translation. The translation, the meaning, is messenger.

      Angels are actually messengers. The word for angel in Greek and Hebrew was the same word for a human messenger. The ancient Greeks and Hebrews did not have a separate word for the heavenly beings. So, if a neighbor arrived and gave an ancient Greek or Hebrew man a message, or if a heavenly being appeared to the man and told him something, the man would use the very same word to describe both the human messenger and the heavenly being.

      So then, angels are messengers.

      Now to the Grigori. Many books and websites say that the Grigori and the Watchers were two separate entities. Wrong. Some angel books state that the Grigori and the Watchers were different classes of angels. Wrong. Grigori is simply the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew word for Watchers. Watchers and Grigori are one and the same. Grigori simply means Watchers in ancient Greek. Same word: different languages.

      Why all the fuss about the Watchers? Well, the ancient writers say that some of the Watchers came to earth and, against God’s orders, taught weapons, spell potions, root cuttings, astrology, astronomy and alchemy to the humans living on earth. Some of the Watchers had sex with human women.

      By the way, the beings known as the Nephilim were the progeny of the Watchers and the human women. The word Nephilim is translated as Giants in some older Bible versions. This is misleading, as the term Giants in those days referred to a class of arrogant, non-human entities and not to tall people, as we think of Giants like Jack in the Beanstalk today. I speak on this more in my book, What are the Giants? Find out the Truth!

      Many websites say that all the Watchers
