  • Gilgal Rephaim (Wheel/Circle of the Giants) is known as Rujm el-Hiri in Arabic (translating to “stone heap of the wild cat"). It is an ancient megalithic monument consisting of concentric circles with a stone cairn covering a dolmen in the middle. It is located in the Golan Heights (part of Syria, occupied by Israel), 12 miles east of the coast of the Sea of Galilee, in the middle of a large plateau covered with hundreds of dolmens, earthworks and cairns. It dates to between 4500 BC and 2500 BC and is the legendary area of Bashan where the giant King Og was said to have ruled from. It is incredibly hard to get to, as it's in a military zone, and you need off-road vehicles to get there. To the north of it further ruins sit upon a serpent-shape hill which may have been deliberately terraformed like this in ancient times. Includes exclusive aerial footage.

    The Hebrew word Rephaim has two distinct meanings: first, in poetic literature it refers to departed spirits whose dwelling place was Sheol. It is a figurative description of the dead, similar to our concept of a ghost. The second meaning of Rephaim is “a mighty people with tall stature who lived in Canaan.” The word doesn’t seem to be ethno-centric like “Jew” or “Egyptian” but is more of a descriptive term.
    I find the first definition to be just as interesting as the idea of giants. Perhaps this was a city of he dead.

    Yes, thank you so much letting us live vicariously with you on your "quests" for the truth or at the least, raising the curiosity for opening the dialog of theories for these megalithic sites...I would love to check off at least one of these sites from my bucket list! When I google "Gilgal Rephaim" Wikipedia came up with "Rujm el-Hiri, "stone heap of the wild cat." I like to keep an open yet scientific mind. I abhor that so much knowledge, history, information is changed, lost and/or kept from us being able to research or at the least, speculate upon, the ancient astronaut myths/history. Keep up the good work, the subject matter is fascinating. I can't wait to learn more!

The israeli megalithic structure, as I assume you know, is located in upper Galilee, land formerly affected by the invasion of the sea people of the shardana/ancient sardinians. Good luck.

    It's likely the ancient historians concluded giants built the megaliths because the stones are so big in many sites, or perhaps it's a reference to their status. Perhaps they were held in high regard. It looks like the heart of a settlements. It doesn't look like burial grounds, but of course, many cultures buried their dead in their homes. It was a way of staking their claim to the habitation, and they probably took comfort from the presence of their lost loved ones.

    5Mos. 3:1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
    And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
    3.11 *For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants* ; behold, his bedstead was a *bedstead of iron* ; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? *nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.* ( 2x4.5 meters , Bashan is this area gilgal rephaim )

    Looks like this has been deliberately destroyed.

    The first purpose of this structure is obviously to provide security. It is a fortification.

      Valid point, given that the Bible talks about those times as filled with violence.

    It's like dragon's and giant's go extinct and the gangs keep fighting. All the catholic snake stuff could just be dragon gangsters.

    It could have been used for human sacrifice, which the Canaanites practiced.
