in the bible story nimrod is having all the people build a tower to the heavens and god didn't like it so he caused there to be different languages all a miss so no one could understand one another.
so thats the bible story anyway, what about reality.
in my limited research of ancient history its come to my attention that the main language written and spoken was akad or akkadian.
According to the Book of Jasher, the Tower of Babel was built when Noah was 940 years old, Nimrod was 88, and Abraham was 48.
That would have been 300+ years after the Flood.
I like this book because, unlike the Bible, the ages of the characters are given and the happenings are arranged in chronological order.

not sure of the point of telling my story, but just got off the phone with my grandma and i am so angry, stressed and i don't know what else...i guess i just wanted to hear from someone other than my husband that i'm not crazy for my reaction to family interaction.. my condensed story gramatical errors and all :).

Prunella Pickford paraded into the room with such pizzazz, plonked down onto the settee, and carefully removed the two mink pelts that enshrouded her ample shoulders.

one percenter convicted of raping infant child dodges jail because he 'will not fare well'the huffington post | by ashley almanposted: 03/30/2014 10:45 pm edt updated: 03/31/2014 12:59 pm edt a delaware man convicted of raping his three-year-old daughter only faced probation after a state superior court judge ruled he "will not fare well" in prison.. in her decision, judge jan jurden suggested robert h. richards iv would benefit more from treatment.
richards, who was charged with fourth-degree rape in 2009, is an unemployed heir living off his trust fund.
the light sentence has only became public as the result of a subsequent lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, which charges that he penetrated his daughter with his fingers while masturbating, and subsequently assaulted his son as well.. richards is the great grandson of du pont family patriarch irenee du pont, a chemical baron.. according to the lawsuit filed by richards' ex-wife, he admitted to assaulting his infant son in addition to his daughter between 2005 and 2007. richards was initially indicted on two counts of second-degree child rape, felonies that translate to a 10-year mandatory jail sentence per count.
Uh huh.
