200 Watchers, 330 Million Giants: The Math of Myth

Posted on October 25, 2025, 04:31 PM EDT

I'm finally doing the math on demonology. So according to the Book of Enoch, there are 200 Watchers or fallen angels that had sex with women, and the offspring of those women became giants. This isn't just Jewish tradition. The Sumerians, who are the oldest race and culture in human history, have an entire polytheistic religion based on this. When the giants died, their souls became demons. That's the actual origin of demons. The Book of Enoch goes on to say that man worships demons as gods. I'm just entertaining the idea. Well, how many gods exist? Koti absolutely can and does mean crore in many instances. There are instances in the Torah when one verse can mean two things at once. Why are people so simple that they confine sentences to have only one possible interpretation? I'm going to take this as far as it will go, just like with my blog on time management. Why? Because I have a brain 🧠! Koti कोटि, that's 10^7. If you’re curious about the Indian number system or planning to travel to Bharat, check out my blog post on the Lemon Formula! 🍋.

Vedic Mythology Parallels

The Vedic tradition offers striking parallels to this narrative. In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (3.9.1–2), Yajnavalkya speaks of 33 gods (trayastriṃśat koti devatāḥ), a number that, like the "33 koti," can be interpreted as 33 crore (330 million) when koti means "crore" (10 million). This mirrors the 330 million giants/demons from the Enochian account. The Vedas also describe divine beings descending to Earth, such as the Devas and Asuras, whose interactions with humans sometimes result in hybrid offspring or powerful entities—echoing the Watcher-giant dynamic. The concept of souls becoming spirits aligns with Vedic ideas of Pitrs (ancestral spirits) or Pretas (restless souls), suggesting a shared ancient motif of divine-human mingling and its aftermath.

The Sanskrit term koti’s dual meaning—numerical (crore) and contextual (supremacy or types)—parallels the interpretive flexibility I noted in the Torah. In Vedic cosmology, the 33 gods are categorized into groups (e.g., 12 Adityas, 11 Rudras, 8 Vasus, and 2 Ashvins), which could symbolize the diverse manifestations of divine or demonic forces, much like the 200 Watchers producing varied giant lineages. This cross-cultural thread strengthens the idea that these myths reflect a universal human attempt to explain the supernatural through numbers and lineage.

The Numbers Game

Can 200 fallen angels have impregnated that many women to produce 330 million giants? Let's do the math and see if it's even possible. Again, I'm using any and all sources available to me. The Watchers’ descent is said to occur "in the days of Jared" (1 Enoch 6:6), Enoch’s father. According to Genesis 5:15–20, Jared lived 962 years (from year 460 GPC to 1422 GPC after creation in the Masoretic chronology). Jubilees (4:15) places the Watchers’ descent in the 25th jubilee (a jubilee = 49 years). This is 1177 GPC, and the flood occurred 1656 GPC. This gives us a 479-year time frame, which, ironically, most empires only last 200–400 years.

Time to crunch numbers. 330 million gods divided by 200 fallen angels or Watchers equals 1.65 million giants for each Watcher. How many daughters of men would each have to impregnate a year? About 3,444, or 9 a day. It is humanly possible, so angelically, it can be done.

Population Feasibility

Were there even enough women to impregnate for this to be possible? Actually, yes! At a 2% growth rate, 8 people can exponentially grow to 1 billion in a single millennium. So mathematically, yes, this is more than possible. Also, a 2% growth rate is just what's needed for humans to barely scrape by. Less than that, and there is a risk of going extinct or being replaced by another more dominant culture. It's like the Western birthrate that values education over family. Historically, Chinese and Indians have been capable of outbreeding everyone.

Another interesting thought is that there is roughly one demon for every American. That number is also close to what is considered sustainable. Our current population is 16 times greater than what it should be, which is why there are so many environmental problems.
