Peter. But that's in the non canonical Book of the Apocalypse of Peter. It's not in the Bible.

The only apostle’s death the Bible records is James' (Acts 12:2). King Herod had James put to death “with the sword” – likely a reference to beheading. The circumstances of the deaths of the other apostles can only be known based on church traditions, so we should not put too much weight on any of the other accounts.
The most commonly accepted church tradition in regards to the death of an apostle is that the Apostle Peter was crucified, upside-down on an x-shaped cross, in Rome, in fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy (John 21:18).
Remember, this is a "church tradition" and is not supported by the scriptures. The same holds true with the belief that Peter was the first Pope. That is also false and not supported by the scriptures.

I think you are referring to St. Peter. He asked to be crucified upside down. He felt he was not worthy to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sorry, I cannot provide and historical or archaeological proof.
Roman Catholics consider St. Peter the first Pope. The Pope's throne has an upside down cross on it. It is not a satanic symbol, it is a symbol of St. Peter, the first Pope.

Tradition says Peter was hung upside down. There is no Bible reference to that

perhaps you're considering the Nephalim - the highbred sons of the angels that forsook their unique position in heaven to be with the human women persons - destroyed contained in the flood. Or the Nephanim (sp?) the team of human beings understand to be giants or taller than customary. i have heard of the hippo referred to as a behemoth - no longer to assert dinos weren't round.

The Bible does not refer to this.
It is based on rumor that became tradition.
