Ref. Post #219: You do realize don't you that Nimrod founded his empire from the town of Babel in Assyria. It's actually a very good story, especially now that the ISIS wackos just destroyed Jonah's tomb in Nineveh, which Nimrod also built and which later became the capital city of Assyria. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...rsion=NKJV
The God character at that time was the Babylonian Emperor. The passage about the "whole world speaking one language" refers only to the Israelites/Hebrews/Jews before they got their butts whipped and sent into exile. The writers jumbled up the story so it's somewhat hard to follow. Anyway, Assyria and other civilizations were alive and kicking when Adam & Eve were romping around the Garden of Eden like naked jaybirds and they survived Noah's flood. But they did make the Tower of Babel waterproof.
