The Book of Enoch describes the fall of the [[Grigori|Watchers]], the [[angel]]s who fathered the [[Nephilim]] (cf. the '''''b<sup>e</sup>ne Elohim''''', from Genesis 6:1-2 NRSV). The [[fallen angel]]s went to Enoch to intercede on their behalf with God after he declared to them their doom. The remainder of the book describes Enoch's visit to Heaven in the form of a vision and his revelations.
The book contains descriptions of the movement of heavenly bodies (in connection with Enoch's trip to Heaven), and some parts of the book have been speculated about as containing instructions for the construction of a solar declinometer (the Uriel's machine theory).
