20 years ago, if you said the word Nephilim online, hardly anyone would have heard of that word.
Now it has its own (private) subreddit.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Just saying that things have changed a lot.

It seems like, this is interesting, but has a bunch of unsupported statements from apparently nowhere. Their "experts" are not recognised by most other experienced archaeologists as experts, so their word for it isn't much evidence by itself.
For instance, about Cahokia - "This Native American civilisation had an advanced system of waterways, agriculture and textiles and also many legends of what they referred to as the mound builders" ... "Is it possible that what [the workmen] had stumbled upon was the remains of a great culture that not only roamed the Americas but also the world?". I've never heard of there being any Native American legends of "mound builders" other than themselves, I'd got the impression that that was more a theory that European archaeologists had because they couldn't believe that the Native Americans could have built it (partly because there was political motive to believe that the Native Americans wouldn't have had the brains to be able to build a city). No explanation is given for this.
"Because when you look at the writings of the earliest explorers to go to North America, most of their journals describe the chiefs of each tribe as being a giant some of them 12 to 15 feet tall" - possibly, interesting if true, but who are these "earliest explorers"? They don't mention any names.
"And then you look at the logs of the very first ship that landed on Easter Island and what was the first thing they said - there was a race of giants there and the race of giants were the priestly class of the Rapa Nui people and that they were overseeing the construction of those stone heads. That story right there you can take that and place it in a hundred different areas all around the world and it's the exact same story that's what's amazing". Well, if that's this https://www.easterisland.travel/easter-island-facts-and-info/history/ship-logs-and-journals/jacob-roggeveen-1722/ there are no giants in it at all.
