Why 'Watchers?'

Around 3 BC, a commander of Philip II, traveled to a mountain cluster in the Southern end of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range.

He did so, not only because he was a Roman soldier ultimately answering to Rome, and to Caesar Augustus, and not to Herod the Great, who was only 'client king' of Judea to Rome - but also because he was someone with an avid interest in history himself, and with a keen interest to verify or falsify certain local myths and legends.

In his endeavors to uncover the truth or otherwise of particular historical narratives that seemed a bit peculiar or far-fetched on their face - he ended up uncovering easily one of the most stark monuments and mysterious artifacts of all time: that of the 'sanctuary of the fallen watchers,' and the stone memorial of their oath outside of the sanctuary.

This 'sanctuary,' which is sometimes also referred to as a temple, although it is not that - the Roman commander built two more structures beneath the actual sanctuary structure itself - is by the legends or mythologies, meant to have been built literally 'by the hands of the watchers themselves.'  

There still exists to this day, not only the sanctuary structure itself, but the actual 'oath pillar' in a language no one understands, except that there was (Sir Charles Warren, a British explorer, later removed this and took it back to London where it is to this day) an accompanying small stone pillar, almost the same, but translating the first pillar into Greek.

As far as the Greek wording goes, it says that no one should, or is permitted to enter the sanctuary, unless he take the oath (which is on the original monument).

So more or less everyone these days has heard of these mythical or legendary 'watchers' but why are they called 'watchers' and what are they 'watching...'

The presumption has always been that they are 'watching' humans.

For what reason or purpose they do this no one seems to be able to say though.

They are not watchers of human beings.

They can have seen human activity, for sure.

A mysterious road...

But they are watchers of 'gates' and 'doorways' into special places.

Those that are not allowed to go through those gates are prevented from so doing, by the gate watchmen.

Now a thing that does not permit anyone at all to enter through it, is not a 'gate' at all, but a simple wall or barrier; it is not any kind of entrance to anywhere.

Which means that some are allowed to enter these gates, and some not.

The idea that 'watchers' or the gates they are or were 'watching' are not physical, is problematic, since the story goes that a certain number (specifically 200) of these 'watchers' ended up procreating with human women and had children.

On the one hand, at some point thereafter most of the children of this interbreeding were destroyed from the planet, Lamech and his children - Noah of course, but then also the evil ruler Nimrod, survived and the children of this line is still with us today; if you go by the standard narrative, this one of which... doesn't have any holes in it at all, according to either the Judaic or the Christian, nor indeed even the Islamic traditions!

The two Roman temples built in 'memorial' to the fallen watchers, is called in today's Islamic Arabic cultural history of Lebanon - Qasr Chbib. 'Qasr; means castle, and 'chbib' has a double meaning: 'stop it,' or 'lovers.'

The highest secret oath in the highest degree level of modern Freemasonry, is the oath of Qasr Chbib. This is the thing partly expressed in the baleful words against Tom Cruise's character, which were sulfurously hissed at him by 'Red Cloak' as a warning against talking about what he had seen.

It is not straightforward at all, why there was such an aggressive reaction against the acts of these 'watchers' thereafter as a consequence of their actions, despite that evidently in the story, their offspring wrought a lot of damage on the Earth. And in attempting to understand it yourself - because I will not be outright declaring in what the main problem lies - one should bear in mind that not, all the offspring were destroyed and several indeed became 'prophets' according to the Judaic and Christian beliefs.

This is the 'oath pillar' 
in Greek - now located in London.

The problem with so much common popular 'skepticism' is that it is deeply rooted in fundamental ignorance, especially about the meanings of ancient words translated inexactly.

The Wikipedia will report that the actual 'temple' or sanctuary of the fallen watchers is an 'Adyton' (innermost sanctuary). However, the actual spot itself is called 'Ar-dys' - which is a word in an otherworldly language altogether but it is recorded in Second Enoch as the actual name of the place. It means 'gate' or 'portal' into the dark but rich expanse of the luminaries wherein there are great treasures.

If you try to go to 'Adyton' or 'Qasr Chbib' even today, and you manage to get the permits from the Lebanon government (there is no reason why they wouldn't give such a thing to say, some rich explorer kids from Dubai for instance; maybe the producers of the hit show 'Mysterious Middle East') you will nevertheless be challenged by beings at the 'gate' inside the sanctuary.

And if you have the correct password, they will grant you entry.

And you will go by 'Ar-Dys.'
