#1 Maybe the stuff they were chopping up needed larger tools so they wouldn't break, like mammoths and such.

#7 baffled scientists seem to be seen in large numbers these days.

#11 Theory 1 - Nephilim as Offspring of Fallen Angels and Human Women

Ancient Astronaut theorists would contend that the beings Biblical scholars call "fallen angels" were in fact extraterrestrials. One of the few descriptions we have of life before the Great Flood is in the Book of Enoch, supposedly written by Noah's grandfather, in which the fallen angels are discussed.
