Funny how all religions share very similiar things - flood, giants, battle between gods, etc. Could basic truths be hidden in the records of the ancients, either through the bible, etc.? Could earth have been visited by a race who who helped or enslaved man, who in turn recorded these in glyphs, and ancient texts - and are the best attempts the authors could make to make sense of an advanced technology? The oldest culture is sumer and there is some indication that the hebrews lived in the area as well. Did they borrow "myths" from Enki and the World Order? Why was Nimrod and the tower of babel condemned by god when the people could have simply went to a nearby mountain and been higher to the heavens? Was it the building or something he was trying to do at the site, and thus the passage from yahweh which indicates that there is nothing the people cannot do so lets confuse their language? Nimrod refers to his father as being Enki, was Nimrod a hybred?
ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA (modern Iraq) ~ Babylon was a city in Mesopotamia, as was Nippur, Uruk, and Ur (Babylonia, Assyria, Sumer(ia), and Akkad (Agade) were regions in Mesopotamia). From the ancient Akkadian word Bab ilim, it translates to “God’s Gate” (KÁ.DINGIR.(RA) in Sumerian).
In Semitic Akkadian it was called Bab-ilim. It seems that the name came not from Kadingirra, but from another name for the town, Babil, the meaning of which is unknown. Later the plural name Bab-Ilani 'the Gate of the Gods' was used."
Any explanation to any of these glyphs:
