Brilliant post, Sky.
I often wonder why there is so much poo-pooing of Sitchen, and yet I have seen no one offer alternate translations of the Sumerian texts...
Ther eis plenty more likely correct translations of Sumerian text, one just has to look
Would you have links?
I haven't found a comprehensive translation of the Enki Tablets. Would appreciate it if you could find one!

A reptilian...?
The Hebrew word is an adjective not a noun...
...so it describes how the being appears, that is serpentine in appearance and perhaps manner...
...so what is referred to as a 'reptilian' is closer to the meaning...
...than is the animal we call a snake.

You cannot understand what your talking about unless you read The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, by John Allegro who reveals how the writers hid stuff in how the used words. So for example, angels are really meaning psychedelic mushrooms and plants which when eat allow acces to other dimensions of experience---yes this can involve fairies, angels, UFOs etc etc
But if you dont understand this you get lost in literalism.
I disagree with the psychedelic interpretation of ancient religious scripture for the simple reason that hallucinogenic experiences are markedly different from and also less linear than the ones described in religions.

The whole Nag Hammadi Library has much more elaborate versions of many bible stories and in talks about different life-forms, different entities etc.. many of which you will only find in the bible by a fleeting reference. If the bible mentions it at all.

Have you read Allegro? I doubt it. So please before you continue making your mind up, branch out and explore out of your box.

According to myth:
In the beginning the Gods kept all the knowledge to themselves and humans didn't have even the basics for survival,so Prometheus felt sorry for them and he stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals.
Later we have many stories of the Gods having sexual affairs with humans.The children that were born were semi-gods,most popular of them Hercules.

Its sometimes difficult to discern what are non-physical and what are physical entities in ancient scripture.
The great race fled the destruction of their own world..........In the primal mist of their past, their souls flew across the vast deserts of space and took up habitation in the largest and strongest creatures then living upon our world that were then compatible to our minds................. for the yithians prefer to travel time in a bodiless state and assume the body of some convenient form when they arrive at their destination...............Long ago they came forward in time to the land of babylonia and inhabited the bodies of men. who are remembered in the hebrew creation text titled Bere# as the sons of God.
These matters are written in the book of Enoch the prophet, who entered one of the rays of the ziggurats and was seen no more in the times of our history, or so teach the degenerate priest who still light fires atop these monuments and make gates to make offerings to the watchers. Enoch wrote truly but did not write all that he knew, and he did not know everthing concerning the acts of the yithians among man. He veiled his words in the conventions of his faith to make them less strange, and dared not write the true name of the watchers.

The following link (time-machined from the old Brother Blue site) breaks down and excerpts BOE verses relevant to this discussion. Check it out, I'm sure anyone with an interest will find it useful:
Relevant Excerpts from the Book of Enoch
9. Behold, in that vision clouds and a mist invited me; agitated stars and flashes of lightning impelled and pressed me forwards, while winds in the vision assisted my flight, accelerating my progress. 10. They elevated me aloft to heaven. I proceeded, until I arrived at a wall built with stones of crystal. A vibrating flame surrounded it, which began to strike me with terror. 11. Into this vibrating flame I entered; 12. And drew nigh to a spacious habitation built also with stones of crystal. Its wells too, as well as pavement, were formed with stones of crystal, and crystal likewise was the ground. Its roof had the appearance of agitated stars and flashes of lightning; and among them were cherubim of fire in a stormy sky. A flame burned around its walls; and its portal blazed with fire. When I entered into this dwelling, it was hot as fire and cold as ice. No trace of delight or of life was there. Terror overwhelmed me, and a fearful shaking seized me.

This would seem to suggest that whatever the "Watchers" are, they seem to be more interdimensional in nature

I like the Richard Laurence version because it uses words that bring shocking meaning to the passage.

Actually, and not trying to derail the thread here, but zorgon had it right. He was paraphrasing a bit, but:
Genesis 3:22-23
"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken."
