They do not need it. They can live just as comfortably in a Himalayan cave. That is what Modi is going to do once he is not the Prime Minister of India.
I will gladly pay for his Wifi so he can teach my daily yoga

Or perhaps a stone quarry in a field owned by Avram for a pharaoh's pyramid. I do not know the context of the hieroglyphic inscription.
Books say that Avram was well-provided by the Pharaoh.
Be aware that according to most Jewish sources the Nephilim were normal human beings who were simply not doing the 7 Noachide laws. Because their fathers were leaders of various communities who did not continue to follow the Noachide laws, the Hebrew Torah text calls them "those who fall." You can even make a connection to the idea that they are, "those who are failing in their responsibilities."
There are a number of commentaries state that they were historical people of a certain generation. Yet, it is up for debate at what point of history is being discussed. I.e. there are some Jewish sources that take into that this could have been before recorded history. At least recorded history in terms of alphabetic writing systems. Maybe in regards to cave paintings one may find that this could be the period. The main lesson that a Jew can get out of the Torah on this point is about leadership and what can affect it.We they not, specifically, "men of renown" or men of a historical nature?
This is how they are introduced in the scripture, yes?
"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days"

No. I did not know this. I am using Search engines and dictionaries for Tamil, though my sister-in-law is a Tamil brahmin from Madurai. She was the first non-Kashmiri bride in our family some fifty years ago. Dark in skin-color but sweet of face, while my brother was very fair, qualified and handsome. Did his parents objected to his marriage? Yes, they did. But what could they do when (as we say in North India), "Miya-Bibi Razi, To Kya Karega Kazi". Music connected them. She adjusted nicely in our family, has two daughters.It is of interest to me that Om has common use in Tamil language, to mean yes. I think you know this.
They are not Yoga teachers. Their Yoga is service to the country.I will gladly pay for his Wifi so he can teach my daily yoga
Pharaohs were not interested in mica. What they needed most was good quality stone for their pyramids, which could last for millenniums.Are you thinking same as me?
Mica. Or sheets of mica to be exact.
In addition to the colors of powdered mica also?
Sure, I am a Kashmiri Brahmin. My descent probably is from Kamboja tribe, which merged with Aryans. The line is from a Kamboja sage, Upamanyu.
Aryans were nomadic herders and migrated to India around 1,500 BCE and mixed with indigenous people. The indigenous people have not lost their identity.
Aryans had no caste system. Caste system existed in India before the coming of Aryans. Aryans had just four divisions of society.

What I want to say that the word 'Om' does not exist in RigVeda, though it exists in other Vedas and ancillary books (Upanishads, etc.). It could be a loan-word from Tamil. Gayatri mantra has no 'Om Bhuh Bhuvah Swah' in RigVeda. It is simply:
"Tat savituh vareniyam, bhargo devasya dhimahi, dhiyo yo nah prachodayat"
(Aup.'s translation: "That adorable deity, let us meditate on his luster, may he make our intelligence brilliant")
Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN LXII. Indra and Others., verse 10
Of course, the apologists say that it is necessary. But I go only by RigVeda.
@Aupmanyav I'll use the word merged from now on.
@GoodAttention Never once did I claim master race. Aryans does not mean master race.
@GoodAttention
The word Aryans does not mean master race. Not once did I claim anyone as master race.

I give etymology of the word "Aryan", please, right?:@GoodAttention

Aryan was gradually replaced in comparative linguistics c. 1900 by Indo-European, except when used to distinguish Indo-European languages of India from non-Indo-European ones. From the 1920s Aryan began to be used in Nazi ideology to mean "member of a Caucasian Gentile race of Nordic type." As an ethnic designation, however, it is properly limited to Indo-Iranians (most justly to the latter) and has fallen from general academic use since the Nazis adopted it.The terms for God, for house, for father, mother, son, daughter, for dog and cow, for heart and tears, for axe and tree, identical in all the Indo-European idioms, are like the watchwords of soldiers. We challenge the seeming stranger; and whether he answer with the lips of a Greek, a German, or an Indian, we recognize him as one of ourselves. [Müller, "History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature," 1859]
"The word has long since been abandoned as a historical/anthropological term." Compare Aryan.Blumenbach had a solitary Georgian skull; and that skull was the finest in his collection: that of a Greek being the next. Hence it was taken as the type of the skull of the more organised divisions of our species. More than this, it gave its name to the type, and introduced the term Caucasian. Never has a single head done more harm to science than was done in the way of posthumous mischief by the head of this well-shaped female from Georgia. [Robert Gordon Latham, M.D., "The Natural History of the Varieties of Man," London, 1850]

Good attention, good to have met you, you are a knowledgeable person.How do you refer to the wife of your brother? In Tamil language there are many variations, too many to count.
In Tamil culture what is also interesting is avunculate marriage, but only between a woman's younger brother and her daughter. I am not sure of the prevalence today, but I mention it to see if this is also present in North India, and to make comparison with Nahor marrying his brother's daughter.
Interesting notes, I will need to educate myself further. There is much to learn.
Paarsurrey, Arrian is completely different from Aryan. No connection at all.late 14c., Arrian, "adhering to the doctrines of Arius," from Late Latin Arianus, "pertaining to the doctrines of Arius," priest in Alexandria early 4c., ..
Caucasian (adj.)
1807, of or pertaining to the Caucasus Mountains (q.v.), with -ian. Applied to the "white" race 1795 (in Latin) by German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), who in his pioneering treatise on anthropology distinguished mankind into five races: Mongolian, Ethiopian, Malay, (Native) American, and Caucasian. In the last group he included nearly all Europeans (except Lapps and Finns), Armenians, Persians, and Hindus, as well as Arabs and Jews. His attempt at division was based on physical similarities in skulls.
What in the blue blazed hell am I reading in this thread???
Great...Great...
The orthodox police are here...
Everybody act cool!
A polytheist non-Jew is here to tell us what is and isn't Orthodox.
Very interesting, even if a bit contrived. Sure, Orion was the Great God to Aryans too - Prajapati, Lord of the people (Sometime around 3,000 BCE).Ah yes, I got ahead of myself there. Confused it with the Mesoamerican structures.
