if you Recall & remember reading the USA Article Gareth Edwards Quoted something like this:

In addition to the original movie, the Monsterland conceit of the 1968 Godzilla flickDestroy All Monsters also plays into Edwards' film, with its exploration of mankind having to deal with a reality full of huge, deadly behemoths — the director teases that there is more than just Godzilla smashing around.

What i Found is that a Behemoths means huge Monster. In the Bible which is referred in JOB describes them.

In the divine speeches in Job, Behemoth and Leviathan may both be seen as composite and mythical creatures with enormous strength, which humans like Job could not hope to control.

but Also the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity.

What you guys think? Really Interesting right?

I would like if they took this or a similar route. I actually wrote several research papers on this subject in college. I think the Mesopotamian chaos monsters created by Tiamat would be the way to go. (One of which is Leviathon). In this story, Marduk has to defeat the chaos monsters to create, well creation. The chaos monsters came from the seas and caused a lot of destruction. You can even find references to them in biblical texts (such as Job and Genisis). They are actually a common theam in Mediterranean mythology/theology. I think it would work as a starting point, showing the age of the monsters, but I personally believe they should keep religon out of entertainment. People ether get offended by religion interfering with the movie, or get offended when the movie inevitably gets sething "wrong." It's best just to avoide it all together.
