I always appreciated your honesty, Frods.
The problem there Drippy is that the Babylonians had no trouble completing the Ziggurat at Babel to its height of 300 feet. I grant you this must have seemed like a herculean task to the occasional Judahite goat herder who made his way there from a culture which had trouble building anything at all. No wonder they made up stories about it. The (very) Ancient Greeks did the same thing with the Palace of Knossos and even you should be able to imagine what an Amazonian tribesman would say were he suddenly to visit a modern city and then return to his hut.
