Full Title: On the Origin of Watchers: A Comparative study of the Antediluvian Wisdom in Mesopotamian and Jewish Traditions

For those of you who enjoy academic discussions of Enoch and the Watchers and Mesopotamian and Ancient Jewish lore might enjoy this article.

It speaks of what some believe to be Enoch's counterpart in Mesopotamian lore and Mesopotamian lore tells how the giants were still present after the Flood.

Dr Michael Heiser is big on this stuff as well. He wrote a “novel” called Unseen Realm about the divine council, etc.

He’s all over the watchers, 1 Enoch and how it explains Genesis 6:1-4.

Meanwhile, still reading your OP...

Enoch was a Godly man whose story is told in scripture. Not some retelling of a Mesopotamian demon tale.

I think it more likely that the Mesopotamian lore was based off Enoch then the other way around.
