After that

"There were giants in the earth in those days; AND ALSO AFTER THAT, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

(Genesis: Chapter 6:4 (emphasis added).) The phrase "and also after that" refers to a time after the Great Flood when fallen angels once again took an interest in mating with mortal women. -- NetEsq 04:34 Jan 25, 2003 (UTC)

Tribal people

Anakim the Hebrew plural, Anakites in English. We are talking about a tribal people here, are we not? (cf. Amalekites). Why don't we develop some more consistent English-language format for Wikipedia to describe these ancient peoples? The mixed formulas parroted from Victorian Bible dictionaries give rise to utter confusion, viz.: They were probably a remnant of the original inhabitants of Palestine before the Canaanites, a Cushite tribe from Babel, and of the same race as the Phoenicians and the Egyptian shepherd kings. Was original inhabitants of Canaan before the Philistines arrived what was actually intended? Why Cushites? why Babel? what Phoenician 'race'? shepherd-kings: someconnection to the Hyksos is intended? Biblebabble! Wetman 13:12, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Anakim is plural of Enoch and new version of Anunaki

ANAKIM as plural of Enoch derived from Sumerian Anunaki - but the word Anunas have had relationship with Sanskrit word Nagas (later Hebrew word Nachash); so "Anu" (the higher ones; "above" + Nagas (reptilian like). 89.143.107.180 (talk) 13:46, 15 March 2013

Where did you find that? From what I read, Enoch means "dedicated" with a possible connection to the word for "mouth". Grunschild (talk) 01:26, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Long Necked Ones

According to the article on Nephilim, "Anakim" means "long-necked". Anak, the root, simply means "neck"...so it would seem to be most accurate to say they are simply decedents of Neck, but there is a possibility that they carried genes that gave the trait of having a long neck to many in this clan/tribe. Thoughts? Grunschild (talk) 01:18, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Canaanite Baal Cycle

It seems to have been overlooked that the Anakim appear in the Ba'al Cycle of the Ugaritic Texts, c. 13th/12th century BC. It's arguably the original source. Any objections to me adding this to the article, or was it omitted because the article only discusses the Anakim in a biblical context? Sadena (talk) 15:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
