READ: Body of 9,000-Year-Old Six-Fingered Shaman Discovered Near Jerusalem
A newly uncovered tomb in the hills of Jerusalem has sparked eerie questions about mystical ancestry, ancient rituals, and the possible remnants of the Nephilim. The discovery, dating back to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period (around 10,000 years ago), revealed the remains of a woman with six fingers on her left hand—a trait often associated with supernatural lineage.
Archaeologists believe this woman may have been a shaman or spiritual leader within her community. She was buried with luxurious green stone necklaces and mother-of-pearl jewelry, clear signs of high status or divine connection. But what makes this burial even more intriguing is the presence of polydactyly (extra fingers), a trait that appears in several ancient myths—especially those concerning the Nephilim.

Throughout history, polydactyly has been linked to power, divinity, and, in some cases, giant hybrid beings. Biblical and extra-biblical texts, including the Book of Samuel (21:20-21) and the Book of Enoch, describe the Nephilim—giant offspring of fallen angels and human women—as possessing extra digits and unnatural physical traits. Could this woman have been a distant descendant of these mysterious beings?
The Nephilim were said to be destroyed in the Great Flood, yet their bloodline is rumored to have persisted through select human lineages. The presence of six fingers in an individual from an early advanced civilization, coupled with rituals and a possible divine status, raises the question: Was she a remnant of something more than human?
The site where this shaman was buried held large-scale public ritual structures, many of which were centered around water—an element frequently associated with purification, otherworldly realms, and supernatural entities in ancient traditions. Could these rituals have been attempts to connect with the divine—or even the fallen ones?
The Neolithic period was a time of technological and spiritual evolution, marking the rise of agriculture, social hierarchy, and belief systems that still influence us today. If this woman’s polydactyly set her apart as a spiritual authority, what exactly did her people believe about her origins? Was this woman only a revered shaman, or was she something far more extraordinary?
