The 21st century BC being some 1600 years before there was any group recognizable as "jews" and 18-1900 years before anyone ( mainly some Greek ) bothered to write their silly shit down.
Oh well, I'm sure Huggy or one of the other assholes will be along to tell us all about their fucking bible now!
You do realize Babel along with Sumer are Mesopotamian cities don't you? Mesopotamia is where the biblical story took place.
What you've found is a corroborating source, good job.
No fuckhead. It predates your whole jewish horseshit story by over 1,500 years. These were old tales that your much later yhwh shitheads stole from far older and wiser cultures. If there's anyone around here who should know about things being older and wiser than yourself it should be you!
Re-cycled pagan bullshit with a little jewish moralizing thrown in, Huggy. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Oh cool, another thread where Huggy ignores the clear parallels of the OT and earlier mythology.

He has to. Otherwise it might even become apparent even to him that his bullshit is just bullshit.

I don't think anyone has ever claimed that Genesis was the oldest or the original telling of the tower of Babel, after all, Genesis is the first book of MOSES.
Genesis (the beginning) is simply recounting the history of mankind.
Does any culture have a monopoly on history?

Oh, Huggy. Get real. Maybe you should investigate some of the assholes on your side before you come here and make a fool of yourself.

Quote:It is important to realize that the ancient Hebrew, the language of the Jewish people and the language of the Tanakh, is at least as old as ancient Sumerian. While secular scholars believe Hebrew developed along side of some other ancient languages and dialects, it does not mean that the ancient Hebrew came from, or was predated by, other languages.
These fuckheads are on your side.... and they are fuckheads.

Another problem for the Bible people, Scripture records another contradiction regarding Babel:
1 Corinthians 14 (KJV)
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Genesis 11 (KJV)
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You foolish one, only the lord himself can give permission to pull scripture willy nilly and make it say whatever his servant wants.. repent immediately !!

Mythology =/= history.
It's sad that needs pointing out.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Huggy lies a lot. For instance he says he's not a YEC, yet insists that every tenet of YECism is true, because TEH BUYBUL!
