Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men: The Surviving Elites of the Cosmic War and Their Hidden Agenda
Consider the possibility that the history of the human race is not as simple as what has been taught in classroom textbooks. Consider the possibility that the evolutionary scientific explanation for mankind has ignored critical facts that are buried deep within the fossils and mankind's DNA. Consider the possibility that the religious stories that have often been the core basis for mankind's understanding of where it belongs in the history of creation may actually reveal a planet occupied with tyrannical giants and an elite highly intelligent race bent on genetic mutation.
As horrifying as such possibilities are, Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men sets forth a plausible theory revealing a hidden history of mankind and a possible reason that it has remained veiled for hundreds of thousands of years. With his well-documented style and breathtaking conclusions, Dr. Joseph P. Farrell pulls back the veil and takes the reader on an odyssey behind the mysterious history and myths of the human race.
Joseph P. Farrell is a recognized scholar whose credentials include a PhD in philosophy from the University of Oxford. His literary contribution is a veritable resumé unto itself covering such fields as Nazi Germany, sacred literature, physics, finances, the Giza pyramids, and music theory. A renowned researcher with an eye to assimilate a tremendous amount of background material, Farrell is able to condense the best scholastic research in publication and draw insightful new conclusions on complex and controversial subjects.

A fascinating read with clear explanations. "Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men" is speculative nonfiction. Fortunately for his credibility, Farrell is up-front about stating he's not out to prove anything. But as with other quasi-scientific musings I've read, if only ten percent of his wild theories prove to be true, the consequences will be world-shaking. A basic premise is that some race or races of highly intelligent beings existed on Earth in very ancient times. Two pieces of evidence he gives are compelling, and I wonder how the traditional academicians will seek to explain them away. First, meticulous surveying of megalithic structures such as Stonehenge and the Pyramids indicate they are built with the same unit of measure. That's because their dimensions are exactly divisible by this unit. What's more, the units at multiple sites differ by no more than the width of a human hair. Farrell argues neatly how such precision could be achieved. But the conclusion is that the architects must have known the circumference of the earth and the exact period of the Earth's orbit around the Sun using the 360-degree standard later invented (or adopted?) by the Sumerians.
The other piece of suggestive evidence is that the numerical and logical correlations between the Chinese I Ching and the structure of DNA are too extensive and too similar to be coincidental.
Discuss.

While I usually find the haughty pretentiousness of scientific editors to stand in the way of progress, this book has made me reconsider the utility of scientific standards. For instance, when making a scientific claim it is not reasonable to cite wikipedia ad nauseum, nor is it reasonable to compile a book that is 75% citations from other crazies writing conspiracy theories from their mother's basements. Joseph Farrell is one of those guys with a phD that fell through the cracks of academia, wholly ignorant of what constitutes a solid argument and unwilling to consider his hairbrain ideas logically. I'm all for alternative thinking but geesh... If you want to read a book, completely devoid of corroborating evidence, about the "cosmic war" that led to the creation of homo sapiens sapiens by alien hands, then this book is for you. For everyone else, you've been warned.

To say this is an out-there read is an understatement. It’s an interesting idea – that humanity was bio-engineered by entities that we called gods. But like all good conspiracy theories (and according to the author, there is a conspiracy, that keeps evidence of this genetic history hidden. Oh those nefarious archaeologists), the evidence is scant, the leaps of faith long. The theory relies too much on the spurious “Megalithic Yard” theory and archaeological discoveries that rarely go beyond 19th century research.
Yet for all this, it was an enjoyable and involving read, an exploration of the further realms of human belief.

deserves multiple readings - a lot to digest - will have to revisit and re-read ...

A lot of theories posed around a lot of more interesting facts, though Mr. Farrell almost takes his theories for facts. Some of the most interesting points were lifted from other books listed in the bibliography, which seem more interesting than this one.
Lots of technical information in this book that was very intriguing and merits further research by the reader. The portion of the book on genetics is worth the price of admission.
Mr. Farrell presents the idea that the God of the Pentateuch (namely Exodus) was a Nephilim giant (or other similar race) armed with highly advanced technological toys to instill fear and wonder in his followers. Later in another chapter, Mr. Farrell discredits discoveries of giant humanoid skeletons, calling them all "hoaxes." He then revisits giants in Native American lore, almost seeming to believe in them again. This is not the only time in the book that I had to guess what Mr. Farrell actually believes, making this book a challenging read, which is not a welcome feature, unlike the challenging subjects.
Near the end of the book, Mr. Farrell points out seemingly modern items discovered that were buried in sections of the earth that would date them millions of years prior to "evolutionary man." Mr. Farrell passingly explains away these anomalies though an idea of alien and/or other elites that can before man who roamed the earth. He seems to only mold evidence he likes to fit around the ideas he likes.
Also if you are seeking to read on "elites" and/or a "cosmic war," choose a different title--these subjects, though in the title, get barely a mention in this work.

This book is definitely a unique read! I wasn't sure what to expect when starting it, but the content kept me interested. I had a very hard time putting the book down. I would recommend this book to anyone! :)

This was a tough read. Lots of scientific mumbo jumbo. But it was an interesting concept and it was obvious that the author took the time to research information to back his thesis.

Dr. Farrell tends to write some books in trilogies. This particular book, Genes, Giants, Monsters & Men which is the second in this particular series, would be the follow up to The Cosmic War, which he wrote previously to this.
Farrell’s book, Cosmic War [Review In Profile], which is intriguing in its implications and breathtaking in scope, laid the foundation for this particular series in a rather scholarly manner. In Genes, Giants, Monsters & Men Farrell continues his scholarly analysis into what the proceeding events after that particular war in antiquity took place.
The author makes it a note of showing how there are two sets of descendants related to those who waged the Cosmic War. One side has made a stride to attempt to showcase history for what it is, while the other side not only manipulated historical events as they take place in trenchant and disturbing ways, but also is making a point to obfuscate real history in myriad ways.
Throughout the book, Dr. Farrell showcases many historical oddities, and also some downright suppressions that have taken place throughout history. In his usual incisive, analytical, and well-argued manner, Farrell pulls the threads of historical elements that might seem disparate at first, but are in fact ‘joined at the hip’ so to speak.
Regarding the historical and ongoing suppression of this type of data and it’s implications, the author cogently relates:
“It is when Cremo and Thompson’s careful scholarship is viewed within the context of deeper allegations of archaeological suppression that other more disturbing philosophical and speculative implications emerge, for the bottom line is that both the archaeological suppression of “convenient forgetting” and the dogma of evolution would seem to be tailor-made devices to suppress the ideas of the great antiquity of man and the possibility of a previously existing Very High Civilization. Viewed in this light, it is impossible that the scientific theory functions as an “evidence screening mechanism” for scientists not privy to the ultimate agenda: the suppression of the very notion of such a civilization, and therefore any attempt to investigate it by the hoi polloi. One might indeed be dealing with a “public consumption” biology, anthropology, and archaeology to parallel the “public consumption” physics deliberately designed to prevent the recovery of lost technologies and science. Clearly, if our examination of the I Ching and DNA are any indicator, this would appear to be the case.”[1][2][Bold Emphasis Added]
This particular book offers a thought-provoking synthesis of ancient technology, genetic engineering, mind control technologies, examinations of giants as reported from credible sources from various cultures throughout history, DNA coupled with the I-Ching, historical suppression as well as much MUCH more.
Two other additional noteworthy subjects covered by Farrell are The Gate of Babylon and The Surrush, both of which have potentially mindbending implications.
In its full breadth and scope, this book challenges official history at every turn and rightly so. Official history should be challenged, because evidence keeps piling up which shows humanity is being lied to at a very large scale. If such readings as Farrell are anywhere near the truth, then not only is history vastly different than what the conventional narrative claims, but also history should be gazed upon again through another lens.

I recently received this book as a contest prize from GoodReads.
Being a reasoning and thoughtful person, I have always believed that there is a more scientific reason to life on Earth than what is written in the Bible. The stories seem overly simplistic and at times outrageous. But, that is to be expected from people of that time period.
The author lays out a reasonable and logical theory based upon his previous books and studies made by other researchers. If the information is accurate, it could change the way we look at the history of human life on Earth and our relationship with religion.
That said, the book was a slow read. The author references his past works as well as several others. There are numerous footnotes. If you haven’t read his other books, some of the references may seem confusing. Most of the time, it reads like a textbook.
This book would probably upset the fundamentalists out there. It goes against all their core beliefs that God created the Earth and man. So, unless you have an open mind, this is not one you will want to read. But, if you want to expand your horizons or just read a more scientific theory of our beginnings, pick it up.

Huh. Well.

The structure of Farrell’s argument is sound and impressive. I have no real disagreement with him on that point. His content, unfortunately, is often badly mistaken. He builds on his earlier Cosmic War thesis. According to that thesis, if there were survivors to the cosmic war, then they would have found a way to pass on that knowledge.
So far, so good. Unfortunately, his analysis of biblical scholarship is painfully inadequate. He is 150 years behind the times. He thinks the term “Yahweh” derives from a minor figure in the Babylonian pantheon. That is bad enough, but at other times, especially in his use of the O’Brien’s work, he comes close to suggesting Yahweh is actually a demigod or even Nephilim!
When someone makes these claims, we must examine the scholarship. Farrell starts well. He debunks the Documentary Hypothesis and in doing so draws upon the excellent work of Gleason Archer. Towards the middle of the book, however, he utilizes no such scholarship, opting instead for the fringe, and quite frankly bizarre, research of the O’Briens. This is not the Farrell we know of Maximus, JFK, and Roswell fame.
The structure of the book is worth considering in detail. In fact, a small outline of it will serve just as well as a review.
Elites did survive such a war and they are scattered in pockets over the globe.
These elites had certain agendas that included technological advances. One should note, however, that Farrell does not subscribe to the ancient alien hypothesis. These elites are human (or perhaps Fallen Watchers, though he does not entertain that idea).
These agendas were both hidden and open.
If these elites have certain goals, then they must ensure these goals continue over time. That means common networks, etc.
Farrell reads the Enuma Elish literally: a cosmic war between Marduk and Tiamat. Marduk employed some form of torsion physics, a bending and pleating of space-time.
Both ancient and modern civilizations engaged in “genome” wars.
Farrell notes similarities between the I Ching and DNA.
He sees both having an analogical structure, information-creating systems, and a torsion moment of rotational characteristics.
The title of the book suggests that the nephilim are involved. They are, but they are not as important as one may think. I think it is irrelevant whether we find Nephilim skeletons around the world. I think they exist, and I think it is funny when standard historical models are upset, but I do not have a lot riding on it.

I had to read this book in several parts. For me the information presented requires consolidation. It is a profound undertaking. The idea that our units of measurement are interconnected over ancient history and astronomically are shocking. While our early human history still has to be explained, the least we can do is identify the problems and gaps in our knowledge. This for me has been a failing of "dogmatic" academic anthropology, perhaps instigated by the Smithsonian. Farrell for me succeeded in his objectives as far as I was concerned. He considered the nature of the human genome, the human genome project and raised the common ancestor hypothesis problem and carefully explained for the non-specialist the few common mothers identified my mitochondrial DNA. Some of this book I found disturbing, but if it is true the sooner we are prepared for it it will be to accept in its entirety.

A book like this mainly serves as an entry point for a very challenging set of radically ‘out-there’ theories. As such, it is first rate. As a wholly convincing case for said speculations, not so much.
But the author does offer evidence that upsets currently accepted academic paradigms of human pre-history and history. And he explores several major lines of inquiry.
Unfortunately, the second half of the book is not as thorough as it could have been.
Still, the author has wit to see that the evidence he considers suggests a synthesis of two competing paradigms, in this case, evolutionary and Intelligent Design theories.

July 28, 2022what the relationship btw science and religion? could religion be a veil of deception? a framework such that a science today can hand-wave away giants and monsters of mythology as mere religiosity?
how far do you get in a conversation about aliens? do you think life out there *points skyward* exists? the farthest (or is it furthest?) ive ever gotten is, "yea, well, surely. i mean, the drake equation, amirite?"
heck, idk, but that's it!?
farrell, a steel trap of a mind, conjectures an ancient cosmic war in which elites of warring factions still exist ... but not some passive drake equation "exist," rather they live among us pulling strings and creating narratives to conceal what/who we (and they) are.
reading farrell's arguments play out feels like someone taking you to a strange new door, describing it in superfluous detail, and forcing you thru the keyhole. behold a new room of ideas soo few have explore, and what do you know, another door and keyhole for you to squeeze thru.
some of farrell's neatest ideas:
1. reading ancient texts super-literally, that is, extending the literal to account for what ancient's couldn't know/express in respect to an alien's advanced technology.
2. saturn's moon iapetus' appearance and orbit are remarkably sumerian--it's smoothness, equatorial ridge, and distance from saturn. could it be an artificial satellite (even earth's moon??)?
and what's up with iapetus looking eerily similar to the death star, george lucas? or should i say "gu scale ogre"!? (word play--anagram of george lucas. tryna play with the keyhole possibility of him being an alien/hybrid. not my best. you try, not as easy as it looks.)
3. the narrative battles of the cosmic elites are from one side to enlighten us of our origins and purpose and the other to obscure this reality by editorializing and religiousification of myths.
overall, science to the max. fantasy to the extreme. and finally someone who goes beyond the drake equation of extraterrestrial dullery.

In keeping with the same theme of myths, science, and human origins… a more scientific approach than some of the others (good). Clearly stated the hypotheses of an ancient civilization, of potential genetic engineering of humans, and of a hidden agenda.
The first was supported very well. He used the typical similarities in myths throughout the world. But he added more compelling evidence of “mistimed” artifacts, and ancient, consistent, worldwide units of measure and commerce. Very good.
The second, again used similarities in myths, and then a timeline of evolutionary species changes. This is more a correlation than actual proof. Some of the scientific proof was incorrect, or dated (pub date 2011) including neanderthal DNA in humans, and Rh factor. Alternative explanations for Rh factor, such as founders’ effect, genetic drift are missing (as other authors in this field do too.) I would like to see how the author’s explanation improves or changes with more known about the Neanderthal DNA and also the Devisonian DNA. Also his arguments are somewhat diluted by using a timeline from Wikipedia for human evolution. Something more reviewed and edited, like Scientific American, would have been better.
The hidden agenda/cosmic war part was not as developed. Left open were questions such as who fought the war (maybe in his other book?). Alternative hypotheses for events, such as 65 million years ago, the War…. Yes the date of the dinosaur extinction, but the main hypothesis of the meteor is not discussed. I believe these mainstream hypotheses must be discussed and attempted to be dismissed for these alternative ones to become more accepted.
Also a weakness was the use of too many direct quotes and not enough paraphrase and interpretation.

One of the most fascinating books I ever read in my life, I suggest reading The Cosmic Wars from the author first, this book is a development from this other fascinating work. This work is focused on the genetic manipulation of species and the making of chimeras and all sorts of monsters and odd animals, the analyses of the ancient texts and taking them seriously, and a complete re-understanding of the history of our planets and our supposed overlords. The author does quote from a wide variety of sources, so it is a fascinating read in every respect, it is actually a work that deserves to be read a second and third time if needed, well recommended.

As usual Farrell raises some interesting questions.
Is the human race older than we believe and are we a hybrid race?
Did we have technologies 1000s of years ago that were lost?
Was there a race of giants roaming the earth as the bible mentions and was there a war to destroy them?
Are religions the creation of the elite in order to control the masses?
Why have we found items that were obviously designed by intelligent beings in strata that is millions of years old and why is this information buried?
Another thought provoking read by this fascinating writer.

Why have we found items that were obviously designed by intelligent beings in strata that is millions of years old and why is this information buried?
Another thought provoking read by this fascinating writer.

A very good Read.
I found this book very thought provoking. Regardless of your ideas of how man came to be, Mr. Farrell presents a very compelling case on his theories. Everything is very thought out. I have read his other books about the Giza Deathstar and they compliment this book with his research. It also has made me want to search out the books he used in his research. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Farrell's books.

While I'm interested in this subject matter, and I liked Joseph P. Farrell's book, "The Giza Death Star Revisited" a lot, this title (of his many books) did not seem up to par. It was overly wordy and perhaps too much of his reviewing the works of others and just restating their finds and arguments. Read his book "The Giza Death Star Revisited" (it's a compilation of all 3 books he wrote previously on the pyramid topic) copyright 2023 instead! It's truly fascinating.

Another book about slavery, aliens and a hidden elite that want to take total control of the world. Did humans were created as a slave race? Jospeh P. Farrel marks good points confessing he is just speculating using the research made by others in genetics, ancient Sumerian tablets and conspiracy theories. But is seen that he does not know that in the early 80's an Austrian-Peruvian paleontogist while digging in the Nazca desert was contacted by Aliens that already live here, even before humans appeared on the scene. Crazy as it is, they told him "they never left". They have human like bodies, very tall and with cone-like heads. They just opted to live on a parallel world and warned "earth has been under a big cataclysm” and “is going to suffer another one”.

anomalies galore
Joseph Farrell is a genius at seeing all the pieces of the puzzle and putting together a picture that reveals a significant truth about our history.
If you are animated by the quest for truth read all of his books.

In this book JPF shares a hypothesis on an alternative for human history, a "what if"... I find that we take as fact history, as taught to us, and I believe it is common sense to question the veracity of these versions or stories. I think it is always of value to look at things from different perspective to improve our understanding. I felt though that the structure of the first half of the book is different from the second, to my liking I felt a loss of structure.

Excellent, of course! Joseph Farrell is the based grandfather you wish you had.

It always struck me that the phrase "a woman shall compass a man" coupled with the knowledge even before the DNA revolution that the man was specialized from the woman by the Y chromosome, otherwise he would be a woman, meant something more.
Farrell subscribes to the Genesis borrowings idea, the notion that the biblical assumes the the Sumerian and Akkadian ideas of the One Name, to justify calling the Elohim space travelers, two ideas, both confuted, the Sumerian here http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/Genesis... and the Elohim here http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/Elohim/...
Farrell's notions out of Sykes, The Seven Daughters of Eve, pushes this along. Admittedly it takes much longer to get used to his other source, Christian O'Brien's translations of the Kharsag Tablets, first because they are just heard of as much as this very day (9/27/11) the digital Dead Sea Scrolls, The War Scroll, came online, "The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_t... Kharsag, Barton's 1914 version of the Sumerian archive, furthered by O'Brien needs a seasoning it has not had. Don't read Genesis without the Rabbis and the Fathers even if you have a teacher who cultivates the text and the subtext. That's just it, cultivation, seasoning, meditation. So Farrell's confection with his own ends adds to this, but is not seasoned. Knowledge comes slowly, not by the instant DMT tree.
Too slow for Farrell. He leaves us behind in the void of billions of years to confect a numerology that computes the likelihood of numbers thirteen, fourteen and thirty three. When he correlates the Cremo-Thompson anomalies with his specs he repeats the same data sometimes three times.
In the interests of perfect transparent disclosure, we are compiling at another site a primer of the various prongs of the Monster War, called The Madness of the Golden Age http://www.scribd.com/doc/83826992/Hi... which we had title to before the war was known, or you can take the short course in THE WORLD BELOW THE DOME http://insightstatutes.blogspot.com/2... but however are most glad to see THIS parlance in the O'Brien world cited above for their site of that name too. Please be advised we may change the next version to TRANSAPING.

This book sounded really good, and the ideas are fascinating, but I couldn't finish it. I got to page 42. It's not anything wrong with the book, really. It's just that there is too much detail and scientific explanation. Which is great if your brain can process all that. Science has never been my strong suit and I zone out a little during those segments. That doesn't bode well when the whole book is scientific detail. The part I read sounded fascinating, and I'm sure that this would be a great read for someone with an open mind, who can handle all the science.
I won this book in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.
