Nibiru and Isaiah 24: Tower of Babel and Nibiru

Tower of Babel
Search Sentences: Tower of Babel and Fire in the sky
Genesis 10:10 states that Babel (LXX: Βαβυλών) formed part of Nimrod's kingdom. The Bible does not specifically mention that Nimrod ordered the building of the tower, but many other sources have associated its construction with Nimrod. Nimrod was the son of Cush who was the son of Ham.
Jasher 9:20 And king Nimrod reigned securely, and all the earth was under his control, and all the earth was of one tongue and words of union.
The account of Adam and Eve's sin in the garden of Eden (Gen 3) and the tower of Babylon share many similarities in plot, vocabulary, and theme. Both show people acting with sinful pride to try to make themselves godlike, and both show God expelling sinners from heir homes as punishment for their sins. We also see this pride on man today with CERN and transhumanism by trying to make themselves godlike.
Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech (Gen 10:5, 20,31). Hebrew.

Gen 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Shinar was in the southern part of Babylonia and includes the region of the cities of Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh (10:10).
Jasher 9:23 And all the families assembled consisting of about six hundred thousand men, and they went to seek an extensive piece of ground to build the city and the tower, and they sought in the whole earth and they found none like one valley at the east of the land of Shinar, about two days' walk, and they journeyed there and they dwelt there.

Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone (oven-fired bricks), and slime (Asphalt) had they for morter.
Jasher 9:24 And they began to make bricks and burn fires to build the city and the tower that they had imagined to complete.
Jash 9:25 And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin, and they began to build it, and whilst they were building against the Lord God of heaven, they imagined in their hearts to war against him and to ascend into heaven.
This passage sounds very familiar to one we read about in Isaiah 14, where Satan proclaims his five “I will” statements; the most applicable of the five being: “You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;”

Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower (Mesopotamian Temple Tower), whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
The people's pride and ambition is expressed in three different ways: (1) the fivefold use of the first-person pronouns-us, and we; (2) their desire to build a tower into the sky, thus giving them access to "the heavens," the domain of God; and (3) their attempt at self-glorification--let us make a name for us. Because they did it to avoid being scattered over the face of the earth, all their efforts amounted to a rebellion against Elohim and His command to fill the earth (9:1). This tower served as their ralley point and fame.
Jasher 9:21
And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together; Phut, Mitzraim, Cush and Canaan with their families, and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the earth on account of their wars.
Jash 9:26 And all these people and all the families divided themselves in three parts; the first said We will ascend into heaven and fight against him; the second said, We will ascend to heaven and place our own gods there and serve them; and the third part said, We will ascend to heaven and smite him with bows and spears; and God knew all their works and all their evil thoughts, and he saw the city and the tower which they were building.

Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Exodus 19:20
And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
Exodus 34:5 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD.
Numbers 11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
Numbers 12:5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

Please note that each of these times is dramatic. Babel may have been the most dramatic of all. There is an interesting 'interruption' in Psalm 18 when David is talking about the depth of his despair and trouble. Starting in verse 7 and going to 15, we read:

7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.
Earthquakes at Rev 8:7; at Tower of Babel; (Isa 2:19. 21=Rev 6:12-17; Isa 22:5,9; Isa 5:25; 29:6; Ezek 38:19; Rev 16:18=Isa 2:10-22).

9 He parted the heavens and came down (parting of the scroll in Revelation at the Day of the Lord); dark clouds were under his feet. torrential rains. 33) Change in the Solar System (Ps 102:25-26; Isa 51:6; 2 Pet 3:12); also the heavens shall roll up as a scroll.

10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind. 6) 200+ mph (320+ kph) winds as the jet stream is coming down to ground level affecting the entire globe.

11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky. 32) a day of darkness for the earth or even 3 days of darkness as the dwarf star blocks the sun. torrential rains (Isaiah 24 article).

12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones (Rev 8; Trumpet Judgment 1) and bolts of lightning (coals of fire). 15) record hail storms (Ezek 38:22; Isa 30:30; Rev 8:7). 23) spectacular lights in our atmosphere from a hyper excitation of the magnetosphere.

13 The LORD thundered (shouted; I Cor 15:52; I Thess 4:16-18) from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. Day of Trumpet and alarm (Zeph 1:8)

14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies , great bolts of lightning and routed them. The arrows were dipped in blood. Symbolism at Tower of babel from Jasher point of view.
Jash 9:29 And the Lord knew their thoughts, and it came to pass when they were building they cast the arrows toward the heavens, and all the arrows fell upon them filled with blood, and when they saw them they said to each other, Surely we have slain all those that are in heaven.

15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils. Second Exodus. 1) tsunamis and violently rising ocean levels up to 400 feet (120 meter); Hab 3:10--Overflowing water passed by. Amos 9:6; Amos 5:6-8; Nah 1:8 (flood)
2) flooding of all coastal areas and an eventual recessing of these oceanic waters into the earth’s crust.
3) shifting, lifting and sinking landmasses.
4) landmasses sinking into and rising out of the ocean.
5) tidal, crustal and rogue waves.

24) major portions of the planet that experience complete loss of aquifer waters. Ps 46:3 Roar of icecaps
25) select parts of the planet that experience a building of aquifer waters and inner aquifer pressure. Lk 21:25 (roar); Nah 1:8 (flooding over)

If this is anything like what happened at Babel, then we have a massively destructive event. Valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare. There was a blast of some kind of wind, hailstones, great bolts of lightning, earthquakes, fire.... this was not a small, local event.

Also important: The word 'men' is not a complete ranslation. The Hebrew states that the Lord is going to see what the BEN ADAM were building: the "sons of men." In the same way that "sons of God" is defined by the Bible as being believers, "sons of men" is referenced as being unbelievers.

This may explain why there is a Jewish tradition that it was primarily Ham's group which was affected by Babel and the language changes.

Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
God's concern that nothing the people might plan to do (like CERN, GMO's, transhumanism) would be impossible for them does not express a divine fear that humans might someday become as powerful as God. Rather, it conveys dismay that people, unchecked, would undertake extraordinary deeds of evil and defiance.
CERN has 8 pages of being as powerful as God.

Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Jash 9:32 And God said to the seventy angels who stood foremost before him, to those who were near to him, saying, Come let us descend and confuse their tongues, that one man shall not understand the language of his neighbor, and they did so unto them.
About the 70 Angels: Another special group of angels are the 70 "princes of the peoples," appointed over each of the 70 peoples of the earth. They are first mentioned in the Septuagint to Deuteronomy 32:8 – without their number being given – from which it may be gathered that at this time the number of all angels was thought not to exceed the number of peoples. Ben Sira (Ecclus. 17:17) quotes the figure 70; the Hebrew Testament of Naphtali (Test. Patr., Naph. 8–9) regards them as the 70 ministering angels (Malakhei ha-Sharet). The latter source relates that at the time of Peleg (cf. Gen. 10:25) God descended from Heaven with the 70 angels in order to teach the peoples of the earth their respective languages. Later, Michael, at the behest of God, asked each people to choose its patron angel, and each people chose the angel who had taught it its language, with the exception of Israel, which chose God Himself as its patron. According to a concept found in the Book of I Enoch (89:59ff; 90:22, 25), at the time of the destruction of the First Temple, these 70 angels were appointed to rule over Israel (whom God had rejected) until the Day of Judgment.

There are many proof texts in the Bible that indicate these tiers of councils and the drama that led to the breaking away of Yahweh to choose Israel as His own nation. One of the most notable occasions is Psalm 82.

Deuteronomy 8:32
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Genesis 6 sons of God
It should be noted that there are more than 70 “sons of God” in existence. We know this because the “sons of God” previously appear, again, in Genesis 6, conducting evil deeds and creating a hybrid race of giants called the Nephilim, well before God assigned the 70. In fact, the book of Job describes the sons of God rejoicing when the earth was created (Job 38:7) indicating that they were in existence, well before mankind ever walked the earth.

Perhaps the most dramatic wordplay in the Tower of Babylon episode involves the deliberate reversal of sounds between verses 3 and 7. Human beings created brick-- a word which contains the sound sequence l-b-n in Hebrew-to rebel against God. In response God created confusion-a Hebrew word containing n-b-l to reverse the evil human plot.
The characteristic of this catastrophe was its influence upon the mental, or mnemonic, capacity of the peoples. The description of it, as told by many tribes and peoples, if it contains authentic features, arouses the surmise that the earth underwent an electromagnetic disturbance, and that the human race experienced something that in modern terms seems like a consequence of a deep electrical shock.

When 1715 years had passed since the Deluge/Flood [men] were destroyed by a violent hurricane (Uracan) which carried off trees, mountains, houses and people, and great buildings, although many men and women escaped, especially those that were able to take refuge in caves and places where this great hurricane could not reach.

Similarly wrote Gomara (ca. 1510-1560): “The wind which occurred at that time was so great and of such force that it overthrew all buildings and trees, and even broke mountains apart.”
Many of the sources which recount the destruction of the Tower of Babel maintain, in close accord with the Mexican account, that the catastrophe was caused by a violent wind. Thus the Sibyl is said to have prophecied:

When are fulfilled the threats of the great God With which he threatened men, when formerly In the Assyrian land they built a tower, And all were of one speech, and wished to rise Even till they climbed unto the starry heaven, Then the Immortal raised a mighty wind And laid upon them strong necessity; For when the wind threw down the mighty tower, Then rose among mankind fierce strife and hate. One speech was changed into many dialects, And earth was filled with divers tribes and kings.
In the Book of Jubilees it is said that “the Lord sent a mighty wind against the tower and overthrew it upon the earth.”

Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Jas 9:35 And the Lord smote the three divisions that were there, and he punished them according to their works and designs; those who said, We will ascend to heaven and serve our gods, became like apes and elephants; and those who said, We will smite the heaven with arrows, the Lord killed them, one man through the hand of his neighbor; and the third division of those who said, We will ascend to heaven and fight against him, the Lord scattered them throughout the earth.

Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel (Heb. bll to confuse; to jumble; to puzzle; to perplex; Babylon bbl); 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.
Jash 9:37 And they ceased building the city and the tower; therefore he called that place Babel, for there the Lord confounded the Language of the whole earth; behold it was at the east of the land of Shinar.
Jash 9:38 And as to the tower which the sons of men built, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up one third part thereof, and a fire also descended from heaven and burned another third, and the other third is left to this day, and it is of that part which was aloft, and its circumference is three days' walk.

According to Talmudic traditions, a day’s journey of the average man was called derekh yom, which equals to approximately 10 parasangs. A single parasa is considered to be about 2.4-2.88 miles. This means in a derekh yom, one could walk somewhere between 24 to 28.8 miles. In three derekh yom’s, this would add up to somewhere between 72 and 86.4 miles. If that were a third of the actual size of the Tower of Babel, then we are looking at a circumference of somewhere between 216 and 259.2 miles!

The connection between the words Babylon and confused (Heb. babel and balal) constitute another of the many wordplays in this chapter. The Lord's action had two positive outcomes: First, because it confused the language of the whole earth, it ended the possibility of large-scale evil ventures; second, it caused humanity to scatter over the face of the whole earth, thus bringing people into compliance with God's command to fill the earth (9:1).

What is interesting here is to look at the meanings of some of the words and to also look into some linguistics and old legends/myths.

The people are scattered. That word is hephaitz. In the Greek that becomes hephaizt – and Hephaistos is another name for Vulcan, “The father of the gods” in Egypt. In Greek and Roman mythology he is the god of fire, including volcanoes.

Bel is "the confounder," -- Ba is the same as 'be,' meaning ‘against, among, for, in, on, with.’ Who was Bel? Probably Cush: let's look at some connections from legend and mythology

Cush was the son of Ham, which also comes down as Herm, and therefore Cush was Herm-es. The 'es' ending means 'out of' or 'son of.' In mythology, Hermes is also Mercury. Hermes was seen in pagan mythologies as being the author of their religious rites.

Ham = Her and also Khem, meaning ‘the burnt one’ “Her” also means the hot, or burning one. This may be an identification with the sun god and thus the beginning of what we consider pagan mythologies -- or what would have been considered among the believers of the time as the Great Apostacy. "Her" is also Horus, who is identified with the sun.

“Hermeneutics” or the deciphering of language meanings comes from Hermes

What is interesting is that "Jove" appeared to have been a shortened form of Jehovah, not originally Jupiter.

In Chaldee, ‘peresh’ means ‘to interpret, but ‘peres’ means ‘to divide’ – so was Cush the great interpreter of the speeches of men or the great divider of the speeches of men? He was one of the two according to legends....

Cush had two different titles as well: Baal, meaning ‘the lord’ and ‘Bel’ meaning ‘confounder.’ Ovid identifies Cush with Bel – he says ‘the ancients called me Chaos.’ – not merely state of confusion, but god of confusion (in Chaldee Cush is pronounced ‘chaos’ and comes that way into the English language.)

Jeremiah 50:2: Bel is confounded (KJV) is a play on words. The confounder is confounded. “Merodach” is “the Great Rebel” and so the two are identified as one in this verse. Cush appears to be the Great Rebel and the Confounder.
Vulcan’s hammer is essentially the same as the club of Janus/Chaos – breaking things in pieces

Jeremiah 50:23: “How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!”

Evidence from a number of sources indicates that many of the figures in Greek and Roman mythologies began as the first and second generation of Hamites after the Flood.

Babel, Tower of
This expression does not occur in the Old Testament, but is used popularly for the tower מגדּל, mighdōl built by the inhabitants of the world who, traveling in the East, built a city on the Plain of Shinar, with a tower “whose top may reach unto heaven” - an expression which is regarded as meaning “a very high tower.”

Oter Structures that identified with this structure.
The particular ziqqurat described here was formerly identified with the tower of Ezida, the temple of the god Nebo (Nabû) in Borsippa, a city southwest of Babylon. However, the discovery at the end of the 19th century of Esagila, the great temple of Marduk in Babylon, has led most scholars to agree that it is the tower of this temple which inspired the writer of Genesis 11.

Marduk. Was not one of the names of the destroyer was Marduk?
The many names of 'The Destroyer'
The star has been given many names during its course through the history of mankind.
Lucifer, Satan, The Dragon, The Great Snake, The Destroyer, The Serpent, The Devil, Marduk, Nibiru, Shiva, Hercolubus, Wormwood, The Dark Star, The Death Star, The Red Star, The Red Planet, The Planet of the Crossing, The Winged Disk, The Tenth Planet, The Dark Twin, Black Star, Freightener, flaming sword ?, Nimrod,

1. General Form of Babylonian Temple-Towers
There was a great difference, however, between a Canaanite mighdōl or watchtower, and the great Tower at Babylon. The watchtower was simply a high structure, probably without any special shape or form, which depended upon the will of the architect and the nature of the ground upon which it was erected. The Tower of Babel or Babylon, however, was a structure peculiar to Babylonia and Assyria. According to all accounts, and judging from the ruins of the various erections extant in those countries, Babylonian towers were always rectangular, built in stages, and provided with an inclined ascent continued along each side to the top. As religious ceremonies were performed thereon, they were generally surmounted by a chapel in which sacred objects or images were kept.
2. Their Babylonian Name
These erections had, with the Babylonians, a special name: ziqqurātu, meaning, apparently, “peak,” or the highest point of a mountain, this word being applied to the mountain-height upon which Ut-napishtim, the Babylonian Noah, offered sacrifices on coming forth from the ark (or ship) when the waters of the great Flood had sufficiently subsided. It has also been thought that they were used as observatories when the Babylonians studied the starry heavens. This is probable, but as these structures were of no great height, it is possible that, in the clear atmosphere of the Babylonian plains, there was no real necessity to go above the surface of the earth when making their observations.
3. Whereabouts of the Tower of Babel
There has been much difference of opinion as to the geographical position of the Tower of Babel. Most writers upon the subject, following the tradition handed down by the Jews and Arabs, have identified it with the great Temple of Nebo in the city of Borsippa, now called the Birs-Nimroud (explained as a corruption of Birj Nimroud, “Tower of Nimrod”). This building, however, notwithstanding its importance, was to all appearance never regarded by the Babylonians as the Tower of Babel, for the very good reason that it was not situated in Babylon, but in Borsippa, which, though called, in later times, “the second Babylon,” was naturally not the original city of that name. The erection regarded by the Babylonians as the great Tower of their ancient city was Ê-temen-ana-ki, “the Temple of the foundation of heaven and earth,” called by Nabopolassar and Nebuchadrezzar ziqqurat Bâbı̂li, “the Tower of Babylon” - the world-renowned temple dedicated to Merodach and his consort Zēr-panı̂tum, Babylon's chief deities.
4. Its Position at Babylon
This structure was situated in the southern portion of the city, not far from the right bank of the Euphrates, and according to Weissbach, is now represented by a depression within which is the original rectangular core of unbaked brick. From its shape, the Arabs have made this site Sahan, “the dish.” These remains of the great temple-tower of Babylon, within the memory of men not so very old, towered, even in its ruined state, high above the surrounding plain. The burnt bricks of the ancient Babylonians, however, who “had brick for stone, and slime (bitumen) for mortar” (Gen_11:3), are still good and have a commercial value, so they were all cleared out, with whatever precious material in the way of antiquities they may have contained, to repair, it is said, the banks of the Hindiyeh Canal. Certain records in the shape of conical “cylinders,” however, came into the market, and were acquired by the museums of Europe and America. As these refer to the restoration of the building by Nabopolassar, and the part taken by his sons Nebuchadrezzar and Nabû-šum-lı̂šir in the ceremonies attending the rebuilding, it is very probable that they formed part of the spoils acquired.
5. A Babylonian Description of the Tower
Ê-temen-ana-ki, to give the Babylonian (Sumerian) name.Its Sumerian name E-temen-an-ki means "House of the foundation of heaven on earth". It consisted of six stages built upon a platform, and provided with a sanctuary at the top.
First there was the outer court called the “grand court,” measuring, according to G. Smith's estimate, 1,156 ft. by 900 ft., and a smaller one, called “the court of Ishtar and Zagaga,” 1,056 ft. by 450 ft. Round the court were six gates admitting to the temples: (1) The grand gate; (2) The gate of the rising sun (east); (3) The great gate; (4) The gate of the colossi; (5) The gate of the canal; and (6) The gate of the tower-view.
6. The Platform
After this came a space or platform apparently walled - a ki-gallu square in form, and measuring 3 ku each way. Its size is doubtful, as the value of the ku is unknown. The sides of this enclosure faced the cardinal points. In its walls were four gates, one on each side, and named from the points toward which they looked. Within this enclosure stood a large building measuring 10 gar (Smith: 200 ft.) each way. Unfortunately, the name of this erection was damaged, so that its nature and use are uncertain.
7. The Chapels and Shrines
Round the base of the Tower were small temples or chapels dedicated to the various gods of the Babylonians. On the East were 16 shrines, the principal of them being dedicated to Nebo and Tašmêtu, his spouse; on thee North were two temples dedicated to Êa. (Aê) and Nusku respectively; on the South was a single temple to the two great gods, Anu and Bel (Enlil?). It was on the West, however, that the principal buildings lay - a double house with a court between the wings 35 cubits (Smith: 58 ft.) wide. These two wings were not alike in dimensions, the erection on one side being 100 cubits by 20 (166 ft. by 34 ft.) and on the other 100 cubits by 65 (166 ft. by 108 ft.). In these western chambers stood the couch of the god, and the golden throne mentioned by Herodotus, with other objects of great value. The couch was stated to have measured 9 cubits by 4 (15 ft. by 6 feet 8 inches).
8. The Tower in Its First Stage
In the center of these groups of buildings stood the great Tower in stages, called by the Babylonians “the Tower of Babel” (ziqqurat Bâbı̂li). The stages decreased from the lowest upward, but each was square in plan. The first or foundation-stage was 15 gar each way by 5 1/2 gar high (300 ft. by 110 ft. high), and seems to have been decorated with the usual double recesses which are a characteristic of Assyr-Bab architecture.
9. The Remaining Stages
The second stage was 13 gar square and 3 gar high (260 ft. by 60 ft.). A term was applied to it which G. Smith did not understand, but he notes that it probably had sloping sides. The stages from the 3rd to the 5th were all of equal height, namely, 1 gar (20 ft.), and were respectively 10 gar (200 ft.), 8 1/3 gar (170 ft.) and 7 gar (140 ft.) square. The dimensions of the 6th stage were omitted, but may be restored in accordance with the others, namely, 5 1/2 gar square (110 ft.) by 1 gar (20 ft.) high.
10. The Chapel at the Top
On this was raised what Smith calls the 7th stage, namely, the upper temple or sanctuary of the god Bel-Merodach, 4 gar long, 3 1/2 gar broad and 2 1/2 gar high (80 ft., 60 ft., and 50 ft., respectively). He does not mention the statue of the god, but it may be supposed that it was set up in this topmost erection. The total height of the tower above its foundation was therefore 15 gar (300 ft.), the same as the breadth of its base. It cannot be said that it was by any means a beautiful erection, but there was probably some symbolism in its measurements, and in appearance it probably resembled (except the decoration) the temple tower of Calah as restored in the frontispiece to Layard's Monuments of Nineveh, 1st series, in which a step-pyramid with a similarly highbasement stage is shown.
One other important point about Babel which should not be ignored is that the world had experienced an axis tilt associated with the Flood. This initiated seasons and would have changed the calendar.
11. Herodotus' Description
With this detailed description, which is quite what would be expected in a Babylonian account of such a celebrated temple, the description in Herodotus (i.181ff) agrees. He states that it was a temple square in form, two furlongs (1, 213 ft.) each way, in the midst of which was built a solid tower a furlong square (nearly 607 ft.). This, however, must have been the platform, which, with the six stages and the chapel on the top, would make up the total of eight stages of which Herodotus speaks. The ascent by which the top was reached he describes as running “outside round about all the towers” - wording which suggests, though not necessarily, that it was spiral - i.e. one had to walk round the structure 7 times to reach the top. Representations on Babylonian boundary-stones suggest that this view would be correct, though a symmetrical arrangement of inclined paths might have been constructed which would have greatly improved the design. At the middle of the ascent, Herodotus says, there was a stopping-place with seats to rest upon, which rather favors this idea. At the top of the last tower there was a large cell, and in the cell a large couch was laid, well covered; and by it a golden table. There was no image there, nor did any human being spend the night there, except only a woman of the natives of the place chosen by the god, “as say the Chaldeans who are the priests of this god.” These men told Herodotus that the god often came to the cell, and rested upon the couch, “but,” he adds, “I do not believe them.” After mentioning parallels to this at Egyptian Thebes and Patam in Lycia, he goes on to speak of another cell below (that referred to in G. Smith's tablet) wherein was a great image of Zeus (Bel-Merodach) sitting, with a footstool and a large table, all of gold, and weighing no less than 800 talents. Outside of this cell was an altar to the god, made of gold; and also another altar, whereon full-grown animals were sacrificed, the golden altar being for sucklings only. The Chaldeans also told him that there was, in the precincts of the building, a statue 12 cubits high, and of solid gold. Darius Hystaspis desired to take possession of this valuable object, but did not venture. His son Xerxes, however, was not so considerate of the feelings of the people and the priesthood, for he also killed the priest when he forbade him to meddle with it.
12. The Builders of the Tower
The Bible record does not state who the people were who journeyed in the East and built the city and the Tower. The indefinite “they” might be taken to mean whatever people were there at the time the record was written, and probably presupposes that the reader would certainly know. As the Tower of Babel bears, in the native inscriptions, a Sumero-Akkadian name, it may be supposed that the builders referred to belonged to that race.
13. Traditions Concerning Its Destruction
It is noteworthy that nothing is said in Genesis concerning the stoppage of the erection, though they ceased to build the city. Bochart records a Jewish tradition which makes the tower to have been split through to its foundation by fire which fell from heaven - suggested probably by the condition of the tower at “the second Babylon,” i.e. the Birs Nimroud. Another tradition, recorded by Eusebius (Prep. Evang., ix; Chronicon, 13; Syncel. Chron., 44) makes it to have been blown down by the winds; “but when it approached the heavens, the winds assisted the gods, and overturned the work upon its contrivers: and the gods introduced a diversity of tongues among men, who, until that time, had all spoken the same language.”
14. The Meaning of “Babel”
The place where they built the Tower was called Babylon, on account of the confusion of languages. Here we have again the statement as in Genesis that the meaning of Babel is “confusion.” This, as is well known, is based upon the purely Hebrew etymological law, which makes bālal, “to confuse,” or “mingle,” assume a reduplicate form; but as far as the cuneiform inscriptions, which are now very numerous, give us information, Babel, from balālu, “to mingle” (the root in question), was an impossibility. But on the Babylonian side, that the rendering of the name as Bâb-ı̂li (-ı̂lāni), “gate of god” (“of the gods”) was a folk-etymology, is undoubted, notwithstanding that the Sumero-Akkadian form Ka-dingira, with the same meaning, is far from rare. It is noteworthy, however, that one of the forms used by Nebuchadrezzar is Babilam, with the mimmation or “emming,” which is a characteristic of the Babylonian language; moreover, a place-name Babalam also occurs, which may be a still earlier, and perhaps the original, form. Notwithstanding that one would like to see in Babalam, “the place of bringing together,” and in Babilam, “the bringer together,” the termination -am would seem to be an insurmountable difficulty.

15. Dating of the Tower.
The tower was probably constructed at the time of *Hammurapi , but was damaged or destroyed several times and repaired by Esarhaddon (seventh century B.C.E.) and Nebuchadnezzar II (sixth century B.C.E.), among others.

The Tower of Babel (1715 BC from creation) has been associated with known structures according to some modern scholars, notably the Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Marduk by Nabopolassar, king of Babylonia (c. 610 BC). It was famously rebuilt by the 6th-century BC Neo-Babylonian dynasty rulers Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar II.

16. Possible Causes for Destruction: Nibiru, earthquakes, and lightning.
The ancient legends also indicate something catastrophic. There seems to be a recurring theme which involves an electric shock as well as extraordinarily fierce winds.
When we look at the time -- when atomic time is corrected to orbital time -- and the related geology is examined, we also find evidence of a massive catastrophe.
There is a 300 mile-wide crater in Antarctica which dates from this time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkes_Land_crater
As a result of this impact, a shock wave traveled through the earth itself, initiating a rapidly rising mantle plume on the other side of the world. A mantle plume is a plume of molten rock, or lava, which begins forcing its way to the surface. Each of the continents has a 'core' section, called a craton or shield area, under which is a partially solidified plume. A good illustration of this is little Iceland:
What happened as a result of the impact, however, was much more enormous. It resulted in the outpouring of something called the "Siberian Traps." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_Traps The Siberian Traps are a series of outpourings of basalt from the interior of the earth -- about THREE MILLION CUBIC MILES of the stuff -- which came up in layers, forming a series of steps. The word 'traps' means 'steps.' What you don't see is that about a third more is covered by the northern waters.
It is estimated that the event that occurred near the Tower of Babel may have killed 90% of the Species.

Geologically, there is other evidence of something very big happening at this time. A massive downwarping, or sinking, of a giant trough across what would become Europe and into eastern North America occurred.
The blue finger of water separating Laurussia (Lurasia) and Gondwana in the upper map shows where the downwarping occurred. Today this is a giant coal seam stretching across Europe, with a break at the Atlantic Ocean, and then into North America. The coal is the result of massive amounts of vegetation being washed into the downwarped area with the waters that came rushing in as well as the landslides into the area, which would have buried immense amounts of material as well as resulting in the tree trunks which show they have been torn up by the roots and deposited in such a way as to extend through several series of strata.
Thus we have evidence of some kind of world-wide catastrophe at the time of Babel. The possible asteroid impact of the size which would create a 300 mile wide crater could certainly have set off volcanoes in various areas and the winds from these could have been quite fierce, but there is something else which might have occurred.
Tunguska explosion, 1908 in Russia. June 30, 1908. Rosh Chodesh 4.
There was some kind of explosion in the sky, heard for hundreds of miles, and trees many miles away were blown flat. But no evidence of any meteor or asteroid was ever found; and there is no crater. There is a possibility here which may have connection with Babel.
The explosion over the sparsely populated Eastern Siberian Taiga flattened 2,000 km2 (770 sq mi) of forest and caused no known casualties. It is classified as an impact event, even though no impact crater has been found and the meteor is believed to have burst in mid-air at an altitude of 5 to 10 kilometres (3 to 6 miles) rather than hit the surface of the Earth.
Estimates of the energy of the air burst range from 30 megatons of TNT (130 PJ) to 10 and 15 megatons of TNT (42 and 63 PJ),[7] depending on the exact height of burst estimated when the scaling-laws from the effects of nuclear weapons are employed. While more modern supercomputer calculations that include the effect of the object's momentum estimate that the airburst had an energy range from 3 to 5 megatons of TNT (13 to 21 PJ), and that simply more of this energy was focused downward than would be the case from a nuclear explosion.
Using the 15 megaton nuclear explosion derived estimate is an energy about 1,000 times greater than that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan; roughly equal to that of the United States' Castle Bravo ground-based thermonuclear test detonation on March 1, 1954; and about two-fifths that of the Soviet Union's later Tsar Bomba (the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated).
It is estimated that the Tunguska explosion knocked down some 80 million trees over an area of 2,150 square kilometres (830 sq mi), and that the shock wave from the blast would have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. An explosion of this magnitude would be capable of destroying a large metropolitan area, but due to the remoteness of the location, no fatalities were documented. This event has helped to spark discussion of asteroid impact avoidance.
Asteroid air burst
The leading scientific explanation for the explosion is the air burst of an asteroid 6–10 kilometres (4–6 miles) above Earth's surface.
Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere from outer space every day, travelling at a speed of at least 11 kilometers per second (6.8 mi/s). The heat generated by compression of air in front of the body (ram pressure) as it travels through the atmosphere is immense and most asteroids burn up or explode before they reach the ground. Since the second half of the 20th century, close monitoring of Earth's atmosphere has led to the discovery that such asteroid air bursts occur rather frequently. A stony asteroid of about 10 metres (30 ft) in diameter can produce an explosion of around 20 kilotons, similar to that of the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, and data released by the U.S. Air Force's Defense Support Program indicate that such explosions occur high in the upper atmosphere more than once a year. Tunguska-like megaton-range events are much rarer. Eugene Shoemaker estimated that such events occur about once every 300 years.
Asteroid or comet
In 1930, the British astronomer F.J.W. Whipple suggested that the Tunguska body was a small comet. A comet, also referred to as "dirty snowball", is composed of dust and volatiles, such as water ice and frozen gases, and could have been completely vaporised by the impact with Earth's atmosphere, leaving no obvious traces. The comet hypothesis was further supported by the glowing skies (or "skyglows" or "bright nights") observed across Europe for several evenings after the impact, possibly explained by dust and ice that had been dispersed from the comet's tail across the upper atmosphere. The cometary hypothesis gained a general acceptance amongst Soviet Tunguska investigators by the 1960s.
In 1978, Slovak astronomer Ľubor Kresák suggested that the body was a fragment of Comet Encke. This is a periodic comet with an extremely short period of 3 years that stays entirely within the orbit of Jupiter. It is also responsible for the Beta Taurids, an annual meteor shower with a maximum activity around June 28–29. The Tunguska event coincided with the peak activity of that shower,[31] and the approximate trajectory of the Tunguska object is consistent with what would be expected from a fragment of Comet Encke. It is now known that bodies of this kind explode at frequent intervals tens to hundreds of kilometres above the ground. Military satellites have been observing these explosions for decades.
In 1983, astronomer Zdeněk Sekanina published a paper criticising the comet hypothesis. He pointed out that a body composed of cometary material, travelling through the atmosphere along such a shallow trajectory, ought to have disintegrated, whereas the Tunguska body apparently remained intact into the lower atmosphere. Sekanina argued that the evidence pointed to a dense, rocky object, probably of asteroidal origin. This hypothesis was further boosted in 2001, when Farinella, Foschini, et al. released a study calculating the probabilities based on orbital modelling extracted form the atmospheric trajectories of the Tunguska object. They concluded with a probability of 83% that the object moved on an asteroidal path originating from the asteroid belt, rather than on a cometary one (probability of 17%).
Proponents of the comet hypothesis have suggested that the object was an extinct comet with a stony mantle that allowed it to penetrate the atmosphere.
The chief difficulty in the asteroid hypothesis is that a stony object should have produced a large crater where it struck the ground, but no such crater has been found. It has been hypothesised that the passage of the asteroid through the atmosphere caused pressures and temperatures to build up to a point where the asteroid abruptly disintegrated in a huge explosion. The destruction would have to have been so complete that no remnants of substantial size survived, and the material scattered into the upper atmosphere during the explosion would have caused the skyglows. Models published in 1993 suggested that the stony body would have been about 60 metres (200 ft) across, with physical properties somewhere between an ordinary chondrite and a carbonaceous chondrite.
Lake Cheko
In June 2007, scientists from the University of Bologna identified a lake in the Tunguska region as a possible impact crater from the event. They do not dispute that the Tunguska body exploded in midair but believe that a ten-metre fragment survived the explosion and struck the ground. Lake Cheko is a small, bowl-shaped lake approximately 8 kilometres north-northwest of the hypocentre. The hypothesis has been disputed by other impact crater specialists. A 1961 investigation had dismissed a modern origin of Lake Cheko, saying that the presence of metres-thick silt deposits at the lake's bed suggests an age of at least 5,000 years, but more recent research suggests that only a meter or so of the sediment layer on the lake bed is "normal lacustrine sedimentation", a depth indicating a much younger lake of about 100 years. Acoustic-echo soundings of the lake floor provide support for the hypothesis that the lake was formed by the Tunguska event. The soundings revealed a conical shape for the lake bed, which is consistent with an impact crater. Magnetic readings indicate a possible meter-sized chunk of rock below the lake's deepest point that may be a fragment of the colliding body. Finally, the lake's long axis points to the hypocentre of the Tunguska explosion, about 7.0 kilometres (4.3 mi) away. Work is still being done at Lake Cheko to determine its origins.

------------------
The earth is surrounded by something called an ionosphere, or plasma sphere. Its size dwarfs the earth itself.
Every planet has an ionosphere/plasma sphere enveloping it. Jupiter's, for instance, ranges from 3-7 million miles across. These ionospheres stretch out behind each planet, away from the sun, like a giant wind sock. Earlier in the history of our solar system, these plasma spheres were more highly charged than today and, if ancient stories are to be believed at all, may well have been in glow mode (we see glow mode with the auroras today). The strength of the glow -- it's brightness -- would have depended upon its distance from the sun: the further away, the brighter the ionosphere. The glow may well have been concentrated at the poles of each planet, as well, as implied by the illustration above.
If a planet were to pass directly between the sun and another planet, so that its tail came in contact with the plasma sphere of the other planet, an electric discharge may well have happened. This would have been devastating in at least a local area, much like the Tunguska explosion. Was Tunguska the result of a late (in the history of our earth) electric discharge? Venus was between the sun and us at that time and Venus was at a very close approach to the earth.
Electric shocks change language centers. We know that. Is it possible that Babel involved something like this? We can see the wind's effect at Tunguska. Stories from other places talk about a wind that blew the Tower of Babel either apart or over. Since it was a massive ziggurat, that must have been a wind far out of the normal.
If there was a discharge, is that what caused the crater in Antarctica?
If it was a meteor strike, we know electric discharges can accompany them.
There is growing evidence of electrical 'machining' which created many of the features on other planets as well as on earth. Electric discharges can leave remarkable evidence in the surfaces they hit. It's something to think about where Babel is concerned.

17. The Ultimate Destruction of the Tower
That the building of the city would have been stopped when the confusion of tongues took place is natural - the departure of the greater part of the inhabitants made this inevitable. When the population increased again, the building of the city was continued, with the result that Babylon ultimately became the greatest city of then known world. The Tower, notwithstanding what had been said as to its destruction, remained, and when, as happened from time to time, its condition became ruinous, some energetic Babylonian king would restore it. Alexander and Philip of Macedon began clearing away the rubbish to rebuild the great temple of bclus (Bel-Merodach) connected with it and there is hardly any doubt that the Tower would have been restored likewise, but the untimely death of the former, and the deficient mental caliber of the latter for the ruling of a great empire, put an end to the work. The Tower therefore remained unrepaired - “The tower was exceedingly tall. The third part of it sank down into the ground, a second third was burned down by fire from heaven, and the remaining third was standing until the time of the destruction of Babylon” (Rabbi Yēḥānān, Ṣanhedhrı̄n, 109, 1).
Alexander the Great ordered it demolished circa 331 BCE in preparation for a reconstruction that his death forestalled.
In the Midrash, it said that the top of the tower was burnt, the bottom was swallowed, and the middle was left standing to erode over time. The structure was maybe built over sand.
18. No Idea of Reaching Heaven
Concerning the reputed intention of the builders of the Tower, to carry it as high as the heavens, that, notwithstanding the Talmud and other writings, may be dismissed at once. The intention was to build a very high tower, and that is all that is implied by the words employed. That the Babylonians would have liked their tower to reach heaven may be conceded, and the idea may be taken as symbolical of Babylon's pride, the more especially as they regarded it as “the house of the foundation of heaven and earth.” Though at present brought lower than the other temple-towers of Babylonia, its renown remains as one of the great glories of that renowned capital. Dedicated as it was to the gods whom they worshipped, and chiefly to the glory of Merodach, the representative of Babylonian monotheism, the Babylonians' descendants, the native Christians, have no reason to remember this erection of their forefathers with shame, but rather with pride. The rallying point of nations, Babylon, while it existed, was always a great commercial center, and many are the languages which have resounded in the Tower's vicinity. The confusion of tongues led to the Jewish fiction that the air of Babylon and Borsippa caused forgetfulness, and was therefore injurious to students of the Law, causing them to forget it as the builders of the Tower had of old forgotten their speech (Rashi, Ṣanhedhrı̄n, 109, 1). This, however, did not prevent the rabbis of Babylon from being more celebrated than those of the Holy Land, and even of Jerusalem itself. See also ASTRONOMY.
Babel, Tower of

(See BABEL; BABYLON.) Bochart (Phaleg, 1:9) records the Jews' tradition that fire from heaven split it through to its foundation. It is curious that the Birs is so rent; hence perhaps arose the Jews' tradition. Alexander Polyhistor said that the four winds blew it down. The Birs Nimrud was probably its site, and gives an idea of its construction, being the best specimen of a Babylonian temple tower. It is an oblong pyramid, in seven receding and successively lessening stages. Lowest is a platform of crude brick, three feet high. The angles face the cardinal points, N.S.E.W. This implies that the temple towers were used as astronomical observatories; which Diodorus expressly states of the temple of Belus. In the third were found two terra cotta cylinders, now in the British Museum, stating that having fallen into decay since it was erected it was repaired by Nebuchadnezzar.
The tower of Babel was probably synchronous with Peleg (Gen_10:25) when the earth was divided, somewhat earlier than 2300 B.C. at the flood. The phrase "whose top (may reach) unto heaven" is a figure for great height (compare Deu_1:28). Abydenus in Eusebius' Praep. Evan. 9:14-15, preserves the Babylonian tradition. "Not long after the flood men were so puffed up with their strength and stature that they began to despise the gods, and labored to erect the tower now called Babylon, intending thereby to settle heaven. But when the winds approached the sky, lo, the gods called in the aid of the winds and overturned the tower.

Babel, Tower of
The Temple of Belus, which is supposed to occupy its site, is described by the Greek historian Herodotus as a temple of great extent and magnificence, erected by the Babylonians for their god Belus. The treasures Nebuchadnezzar brought from Jerusalem were laid up in this temple (2Ch_36:7).
The Birs Nimrud, at ancient Borsippa, about 7 miles south-west of Hillah, the modern town which occupies a part of the site of ancient Babylon, and 6 miles from the Euphrates, is an immense mass of broken and fire-blasted fragments, of about 2,300 feet in circumference, rising suddenly to the height of 235 feet above the desert-plain, and is with probability regarded as the ruins of the tower of Babel. This is “one of the most imposing ruins in the country.” Others think it to be the ruins of the Temple of Belus.
Chaldea
The southern portion of Babylonia, Lower Mesopotamia, lying chiefly on the right bank of the Euphrates, but commonly used of the whole of the Mesopotamian plain. The Hebrew name is Kasdim, which is usually rendered “Chaldeans” (Jer_50:10; Jer_51:24, Jer_51:35). The country so named is a vast plain formed by the deposits of the Euphrates and the Tigris, extending to about 400 miles along the course of these rivers, and about 100 miles in average breadth. “In former days the vast plains of Babylon were nourished by a complicated system of canals and water-courses, which spread over the surface of the country like a network. The wants of a teeming population were supplied by a rich soil, not less bountiful than that on the banks of the Egyptian Nile. Like islands rising from a golden sea of waving corn stood frequent groves of palmtrees and pleasant gardens, affording to the idler or traveller their grateful and highly-valued shade. Crowds of passengers hurried along the dusty roads to and from the busy city. The land was rich in corn and wine.”
Recent discoveries, more especially in Babylonia, have thrown much light on the history of the Hebrew patriarchs, and have illustrated or confirmed the Biblical narrative in many points. The ancestor of the Hebrew people, Abram, was, we are told, born at “Ur of the Chaldees.” “Chaldees” is a mistranslation of the Hebrew Kasdim, Kasdim being the Old Testament name of the Babylonians, while the Chaldees were a tribe who lived on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and did not become a part of the Babylonian population till the time of Hezekiah. Ur was one of the oldest and most famous of the Babylonian cities. Its site is now called Mugheir, or Mugayyar, on the western bank of the Euphrates, in Southern Babylonia. About a century before the birth of Abram it was ruled by a powerful dynasty of kings. Their conquests extended to Elam on the one side, and to the Lebanon on the other. They were followed by a dynasty of princes whose capital was Babylon, and who seem to have been of South Arabian origin. The founder of the dynasty was Sumu-abi (“Shem is my father”). But soon afterwards Babylonia fell under Elamite dominion. The kings of Babylon were compelled to acknowledge the supremacy of Elam, and a rival kingdom to that of Babylon, and governed by Elamites, sprang up at Larsa, not far from Ur, but on the opposite bank of the river. In the time of Abram the king of Larsa was Eri-Aku, the son of an Elamite prince, and Eri-Aku, as has long been recognized, is the Biblical “Arioch king of Ellasar” (Gen_14:1). The contemporaneous king of Babylon in the north, in the country termed Shinar in Scripture, was Khammu-rabi. (See BABYLON; ABRAHAM; AMRAPHEL.)

Shinar, The Land of
LXX. and Vulgate “Senaar;” in the inscriptions, “Shumir;” probably identical with Babylonia or Southern Mesopotamia, extending almost to the Persian Gulf. Here the tower of Babel was built (Gen_11:1-6), and the city of Babylon. The name occurs later in Jewish history (Isa_11:11; Zec_5:11). Shinar was apparently first peopled by Turanian tribes, who tilled the land and made bricks and built cities. Then tribes of Semites invaded the land and settled in it, and became its rulers. This was followed in course of time by an Elamite invasion; from which the land was finally delivered by Khammurabi, the son of Amarpel (“Amraphel, king of Shinar,” Gen_14:1), who became the founder of the new empire of Chaldea. (See AMRAPHEL.)
Zec 5:11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Astronomy article by Isbe on e-sword
Orion
The Vulgate renders thus, but the LXX. renders by Hesperus, i.e., “the evening-star,” Venus. The Orientals “appear to have conceived of this constellation under the figure of an impious giant bound upon the sky.”
The Arabs represent Orion as a mighty man, the Assyrian Nimrod, who rebelled presumptuously against Jehovah, and was chained to the sky as a punishment; for its rising is at the stormy season. (See NIMROD.) Sabaism or worship of the heavenly hosts and hero worship were blended in his person. The three bright stars which form Orion's girdle never change their relative positions. "Canst thou loose the bands of Orion?" is God's challenge to self sufficient man; i.e., canst thou loose the bonds by which he is chained to the sky?
The language is adapted to the current conceptions (just as we use the mythological names of constellations without adopting the myths), but with this significant difference that whereas those pagan nations represented Orion glorified in the sky the Hebrew view him as a chained rebel, not with belt, but in "bands." Rabbis Isaac, Israel, and Jonah identified Hebrew Kesil with Arabic Sohail, Sirius, or Canopus.
The word Keṣı̄l "the fool" or "wicked one" as denominating a constellation occurs in the singular number in three passages (Job_9:9; Job_38:31; Amo_5:8), and in each it is placed in antithesis to Kı̄māh. It has 80 stars. In a fourth passage (Isa_13:10) it occurs by itself and is in the plural meaning constellations. There is no doubt as to the significance of the word in its common use. In 70 cases it is translated either “fool” or “foolish.” It does not signify a weak-minded person, so much as a violent, impious, self-confident one. As a star name, it is probably rightly considered to refer to the glorious constellation of Orion. According to an old tradition, the name of Nimrod, mentioned in Gen_10:10, as the founder of Babel, Erech, Shinar, Accad and Calneh, was given by his courtiers to this most brilliant of all the constellations, one that by its form somewhat suggests a gigantic warrior armed for the fight. Until recently it was not found possible to identify the Nimrod of Scripture with any Babylonian monarch until Dr. T. G. Pinches suggested that “Nimrod” was a deliberate Hebrew transmutation of “Marduk,” the name of the great Babylonian national hero, and chief deity of their pantheon. “The change was brought about by making the root triliteral, and the ending uk (ak) in Merodach-Baladan disappearing first, Marduk appeared as Marad. This was connected with the root māradh, 'to be rebellious,' and the word was still further mutilated, or rather deformed, by having a ni attached, assimilating it to a certain extent to the niph‛al forms of the Hebrew verbs, and making a change altogether in conformity with the genius of the Hebrew language” (The Old Testament in the Light of the Historical Records of Assyria and Babylonia, 129-30). In the very brief reference to Nimrod in Gen_10:8, Gen_10:9, he is three times overemphatically termed gibbōr, “a mighty (one)” and this has been the name of this constellation among Syrians, Arabs and Jews for many centuries. Indeed the brightest star of the constellation, the one in the left knee, now generally known as Rigel, is still occasionally called Algebar, a corruption of Al Jabbar, though now one of the fainter stars near it more generally bears that name. The word Keṣı̄l as applied to this constellation would parallel closely the etymology suggested for the name “Merodach,” by its transformation into “Nimrod” as if it were derived from māradh, “to rebel.” He who was to the Babylonians a deified hero, was to the Hebrews a rebel Titan, bound in chains among the stars that all might behold his punishment, and in this aspect the question, “Canst thou ... loose the bands of Orion?” (Job_38:31) would be equivalent to asking “Canst thou bring down out of their places the stars that make up this figure and so, as it were, set the Titan free?”
The constellation of Orion was identified by the ancient Egyptians as their god Osiris, the lord of the underworld, judge of the dead, and the most widely worshiped deity in the Egyptian pantheon. The Pyramid Texts, a group of funerary inscriptions thought to have been composed in and around the fifth and sixth dynasties, speak chiefly of Osiris and the events surrounding his death and rebirth, thus testifying to the prominence which the god enjoyed during the same time period in which the pyramids of Giza are thought to have been built (fourth dynasty). The belt stars of the constellation of Orion/Osiris are arranged in nearly the same positions as are the pyramids of Giza.
Unfortunately, the above is as much information as the Bible can provide on the subject of the Tower of Babel. However, there do exist supplementary myths surrounding the Tower which have been preserved in extra-biblical sources. In his extremely valuable book Hebrew Myths, Robert Graves records some of these traditions. One prevalent belief is that an early ruler named Nimrod erected the Tower. Nimrod (according to the book of Genesis, chapter 10) was the descendant of Cush, the grandson of Noah. The Bible records that he was “a mighty warrior” (his very name means “mighty hunter”), and that the “first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in Shinar.” He is also reported to be the builder of Nineveh, one of the most infamous of biblical cities. Graves writes of Nimrod’s motives:
Nimrod and his people raised the Tower of Babel in rebellion against God; for he said: “I will be revenged on him for the drowning of my ancestors. Should he send another flood, my tower will rise even above Ararat, and keep me safe.”1
We see then that Nimrod's aim was twofold: to spite God for the murder of his ancestors, and to construct an edifice which would preserve him in the face of yet another cataclysm. So Nimrod constructed it, but what did it look like? Graves records another tradition which speaks to the Tower?s possible appearance:
the most probable candidate for the Tower of Babel, that being the tower of Babylon, the Etemenanki, the “house of the foundation of heaven and earth”. The tower was described as a ziggurat, being depicted in the earliest periods as possessing five stories (though later it was described as seven stories in height), and crowned with a temple to the god Marduk at the summit. Herodotus describes it in the following way:
In the middle of the sanctuary [to Zeus as Bel] has been built a solid tower, a stade long and the same in width, which supports another tower, which in turn supports another, and so on: there are eight towers in all. A stairway has been constructed to wind its way up the outside of all the towers; halfway up the stairway there is a shelter with benches to rest on, where people making the ascent can sit and catch their breath.
The common assumption is that the mythical Tower of Babel is based upon the tower of Babylon, the Etemenanki. But I believe that this stems from a corruption in the transmission of the myth predating the composition of the book of Genesis. Rather than an ancient sky-scraper as the Old Testament describes, I believe that the Tower mirrored the heavens in such a way that it brought the sky down to earth. In this context, what interested me more than the Etemenanki itself was its close association to the temple of Marduk, the Esagila or “house of the raising of the head”, which stood next to the Etemenanki in Babylon.
According to Mesopotamian mythology, Marduk founded the temple of Esagil after defeating the dragon Tiamat, the embodiment of chaos and disorder. He modeled the temple after Apsu, the primeval abysmal waters, which also made up the sky. The Enuma Elish (the Mesopotamian story of creation) records the construction of Esagila in this way:
[Marduk] leveled Apsu, dwelling of Nudimmud. The Lord measured the dimensions of Apsu and the large temple (Eshgalla), which he built in its image, was Esharra: In the great shrine Esharra, which he had created as the sky, he founded cult centers for Anu, Ellil, and Ea.
Put plainly, what we have in the Enuma Elish is the earliest documented example of an edifice being purposefully constructed to mirror the sky. The problem is, the historical Esagil which stood in Babylon had no astronomical correlations whatsoever, as far as we can tell. So what can we make of this? I would suggest that the Esagil which stood in Babylon was simply a commemoration of the original edifice, retaining the name but not the physical properties of the first temple which was said to have been founded by Marduk himself. We can only guess at the meaning of “the house of the raising of the head”, but in light of its creation it seems to imply that the temple?s function was as some sort of observatory.
To recap, the Hebrew traditions state that the Tower of Babel was constructed in pyramidal style by Nimrod, a king who wished to defy God by building a place of refuge lest the Lord produce another worldwide cataclysm. Mesopotamian mythology tells the story of the foundation of the temple of Marduk, which was said to have originally mirrored the sky. But what connected these two traditions to the Giza pyramids?
The belt stars of Orion stand out vividly against the background of the night sky. One of the most easily recognizable constellations, Orion plays a role in nearly every mythological system the world over. In Australia, the constellation is said to be the home of the rainbow serpent deity; in ancient Mayan mythology, three prominent stars of Orion are said to represent the sacred hearthstones upon which the existence of the Mayan family and society hinged; in Greece, the constellation is envisioned as a giant hunter who is slain by Artemis; in ancient Egypt, Orion was associated with the great god Osiris, the focus of nearly all of the Egyptian religious literature still in existence. The identification of Osiris with the constellation of Orion constitutes, in my opinion, the missing link. The etymology of the name Osiris remains a mystery to Egyptologists. There are many theories, but no universal agreement. The earliest hieroglyphic representation is simple enough: a throne set atop an eye, which phonetically reads as ASAR in ancient Egyptian, the Greek “Osiris” being a later corruption. The name ASAR is extremely close to the word ASARI, which is one of Marduk?s many names. E.A. Wallis Budge states in his From Fetish to God in Ancient Egypt:

We may now compare the cuneiform characters for ASARI, i.e. MARDUK, and the transcription of them into hieroglyphs. The group of wedges which we read ASARI is -=I(I-I and it is composed of two distinct characters, viz. -=II and (I-. (The „cuneiform? letters are here depicted using the standard typewriter characters that most closely approximate the wedge-like characters of the cuneiform text) The first has the well known meaning of „tent?, or „dwelling?, or „resting place?, and the second has the meaning of „eye? and is placed inside the sign for „tent?. The two signs by which these are transcribed in Egyptian are…a seat or throne, and…an eye. Now the sign -=I is followed in the text by two other cuneiform characters…these form a title of ASARI and are read in Sumerian LU DUG, and they mean „good man or being?. Thus we have „ASARI, the good being?. But we find in the Egyptian texts that one of the principal titles of Osiris is UN-NEFER…i.e. the „Good Being?, and it seems clear that this title is the Egyptian translation of the cuneiform [characters meaning „good man or being?]. Thus there is little doubt that the Egyptian AS-AR is the equivalent of the Babylonian ASARI.

So the constellation of Orion was associated with Osiris who was in turn intimately associated with Marduk, the founder of the first temple which mirrored the sky on the earth. It takes little work from there to discern just which section of the sky the original Esagil may have been modeled after. This was good evidence to link the sky/ground dualism described in the Enuma Elish to the Orion Correlation Theory and Giza. But what of the information regarding Nimrod?

While reading through Graves? Hebrew Myths, I came upon a compelling side note to the tales of Nimrod. Graves reports that in the seventh century Byzantine document entitled “Chronicon Paschale”, it is recorded that the Persians referred to the constellation of Orion as “Nimrod”!

To summarize, for the sake of clarity, according to the myths of the Hebrews, Orion (Nimrod) built a great pyramidal edifice for the purposes of revenging himself against God and preserving his life should the Creator decide to send another catastrophe his way. According to the Enuma Elish, Orion (Marduk / Osiris) constructed an image of the sky on the ground, an edifice which may have originally served as an observatory. It all seems to fit, but there’s more.
In the Nimrod tale, he was said to have constructed the Tower for two reasons, one of which was to act as a safe-house, which would preserve Nimrod?s life in the face of a second deluge or some other such cataclysm. This also relates to the Giza plateau. As Andrew Collins points out in From the Ashes of Angels, an Arabic author of the tenth century AD named Al Masoudi penned an historical record entitled Fields of Gold – Mines of Gems. In it, Masoudi tells the story of King Saurid Ibn Salhouk, a ruler of Egypt supposed to have lived three hundred years before the flood. Collins paraphrases the story in the flowing narrative that follows:

When the earth was a little younger, Saurid Ibn Salhouk, the king of Egypt – who lived three hundred years before the Great Flood – found that his slumber was constantly being disturbed by terrible nightmares. He saw that “the whole earth was turned over”, its inhabitants too. He saw men and women falling upon their faces and „stars falling down and striking one another with a terrible noise?. As a consequence, “all mankind took refuge in terror”.
These nightmares continued to trouble the good king, but for some time he concealed them, without telling another soul what he had seen. Finally, after one further night of misery, he summoned his chief priests, who came from all the provinces of Egypt. No less than 130 of them stood before him, the chief among them being the learned Almamon, or Aclimon.
King Saurid related every detail of his curious nightmare, and before they offered their own opinions concerning this strange portent, each one consulted the altitude of the stars. Upon returning they unanimously announced to the worried king that his nightmare foretold that first a great flood would cover the earth. Then a great fire "would come from the direction of the constellation Leo?. They assured him, however, that after these disasters "the firmament would return to its former site?.
Will it come to our country the king asked.
They answered him honestly. Yes, they said, and it will destroy it.
Having accepted the future fate of his kingdom, Saurid decided that he would command the building of three wondrous pyramids as well as a very strong vault. All these were to be filled with the knowledge of the secret sciences, which included everything they had learned of astronomy, mathematics and geometry. All this knowledge would remain concealed for those who would one day come and find these secret places.

Orion comes into play on Yom Teruah/Day of Trumpet in 2017 in September. The three points of the Giza Pyramids come under the three stars in the belt of Orion. In the center pyramid is two corridors at 30 degree angles off of horizon. The lower angle will point into Virgo into the birth canal and lines up with Jupiter the King Planet. The upper corridor lines up with Mercury (Savior) near Regulus (King Star) in Leo.
Ten days later on Day of Atonement is Armageddon and Marriage of the Bride to the Groom.

Is there a link from the tower of Babel to CERN?
Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years/jubilees.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Destroy here refers to the Destroyer.
The many names of 'The Destroyer'
The star has been given many names during its course through the history of mankind.
Lucifer, Satan, The Dragon, The Great Snake, The Destroyer, The Serpent, The Devil, Marduk, Nibiru, Shiva, Hercolubus, Wormwood, The Dark Star, The Death Star, The Red Star, The Red Planet, The Planet of the Crossing, The Winged Disk, The Tenth Planet, The Dark Twin, Black Star, Freightener, flaming sword ?,
“The Destroyer” in the Old Testament of the Bible; “The Destroyer” in ancient writings of the Egyptians (Ex 12:23; Jer 6:22-30; Jer 48:7-10; Isa 16:4-5; Jer 4:1-10; Jer 51:18; 51:54-58; Rev 12:3-4, 9, 12-15). Other verses: Isa 54:16-17;
“Wormwood” in the book of Revelation 8; “Nibiru” in the writings of the Sumerians; “Marduk” in the Babylonian religion; “Phateon” in the Greek literature;“Nemesis” in the Greek mythology; “Apollyon” in Babylonian mythology; Rev 9:11; “Apollo” in Greek mythology; “G1.9” as a working title by NASA; "The Death Star" by NASA.
Deuteronomy 8:32
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Genesis 6 sons of God
It should be noted that there are more than 70 “sons of God” in existence. We know this because the “sons of God” previously appear, again, in Genesis 6, conducting evil deeds and creating a hybrid race of giants called the Nephilim, well before God assigned the 70. In fact, the book of Job describes the sons of God rejoicing when the earth was created (Job 38:7) indicating that they were in existence, well before mankind ever walked the earth.
THE JASHER TECHNOLOGY
The Book of Jasher, recounts details about the Tower of Babel that are quite insightful and alarming when one considers the implications of a civilization that may have been technologically humble at the societal level, but advanced in terms of being in reach of some kind cosmic scale technology or weapon of mass destruction; a result of the scattered, or perhaps lost technology from the antediluvian world. No matter the finer details of how such a technology or science might have looked in the days before the great flood, the greater point is to recognize that we are living in the days of Babel once again, where some kind of technology and science will redefine our world and spark a new age, and with it a new level of power than man can wield to destroy itself.
Jasher 9:20 And king Nimrod reigned securely, and all the earth was under his control, and all the earth was of one tongue and words of union.
9:21 And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together; Phut, Mitzraim, Cush and Canaan with their families, and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the earth on account of their wars.
9:22 And they all went before the king, and they told the king these words, and the king agreed with them in this affair, and he did so.
9:23 And all the families assembled consisting of about six hundred thousand men, and they went to seek an extensive piece of ground to build the city and the tower, and they sought in the whole earth and they found none like one valley at the east of the land of Shinar, about two days' walk, and they journeyed there and they dwelt there.
9:24 And they began to make bricks and burn fires to build the city and the tower that they had imagined to complete.
9:25 And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin, and they began to build it, and whilst they were building against the Lord God of heaven, they imagined in their hearts to war against him and to ascend into heaven.
9:26 And all these people and all the families divided themselves in three parts; the first said We will ascend into heaven and fight against him; the second said, We will ascend to heaven and place our own gods there and serve them; and the third part said, We will ascend to heaven and smite him with bows and spears; and God knew all their works and all their evil thoughts, and he saw the city and the tower which they were building.
9:27 And when they were building they built themselves a great city and a very high and strong tower; and on account of its height the mortar and bricks did not reach the builders in their ascent to it, until those who went up had completed a full year, and after that, they reached to the builders and gave them the mortar and the bricks; thus was it done daily.
9:28 And behold these ascended and others descended the whole day; and if a brick should fall from their hands and get broken, they would all weep over it, and if a man fell and died, none of them would look at him.
9:29 And the Lord knew their thoughts, and it came to pass when they were building they cast the arrows toward the heavens, and all the arrows fell upon them filled with blood, and when they saw them they said to each other, Surely we have slain all those that are in heaven.
9:30 For this was from the Lord in order to cause them to err, and in order; to destroy them from off the face of the ground.
9:31 And they built the tower and the city, and they did this thing daily until many days and years were elapsed.
9:32 And God said to the seventy angels who stood foremost before him, to those who were near to him, saying, Come let us descend and confuse their tongues, that one man shall not understand the language of his neighbor, and they did so unto them.
9:33 And from that day following, they forgot each man his neighbor's tongue, and they could not understand to speak in one tongue, and when the builder took from the hands of his neighbor lime or stone which he did not order, the builder would cast it away and throw it upon his neighbor, that he would die.
9:34 And they did so many days, and they killed many of them in this manner.
9:35 And the Lord smote the three divisions that were there, and he punished them according to their works and designs; those who said, We will ascend to heaven and serve our gods, became like apes and elephants; and those who said, We will smite the heaven with arrows, the Lord killed them, one man through the hand of his neighbor; and the third division of those who said, We will ascend to heaven and fight against him, the Lord scattered them throughout the earth.
9:36 And those who were left amongst them, when they knew and understood the evil which was coming upon them, they forsook the building, and they also became scattered upon the face of the whole earth.
9:37 And they ceased building the city and the tower; therefore he called that place Babel, for there the Lord confounded the Language of the whole earth; behold it was at the east of the land of Shinar.
9:38 And as to the tower which the sons of men built, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up one third part thereof, and a fire also descended from heaven and burned another third, and the other third is left to this day, and it is of that part which was aloft, and its circumference is three days' walk.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 8:7ff; Rev 9.
9:39 And many of the sons of men died in that tower, a people without number.

The connection to CERN.
Back in 1952, just seven years after WW2 and early in the development of the breakaway civilization, the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or more commonly referred to as CERN (Council for Nuclear Research) was formed. The mandate of the group was to establish a world class fundamental physics research and organization in Europe. CERN has come a long way since the idea to formulate such a group was proposed back in 1949 when the focus was purely on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the name nuclear.
Today, Cern created the world wide web ,uniting people under one language again. Cern created www as a way for scientists to communicate with each other. The people of Babel wanted to reach into the sky with their tower- or reach into the heaven. Cern also is attempting to reach into the heavens, a new dimension, in their words they are trying to “pierce the veil”. I wonder and I’m starting to believe that the people at the Tower of Babel were doing more than just building a really tall building like I’ve been taught in Sunday school . I believe they may have been trying to enter the heavens or another dimension just like Cern is trying to do. According to what I’ve read about Cern, their discoveries can lead to a dangerous release of dark matter/antimatter which is dangerous and can create confusion and chaos if it is not controlled. At present, they cannot control or contain antimatter. Here we have our third similarity with Babel- the possibility of confusion and chaos released once this veil has been pierced – into the heavenlies just as there was confusion at the Tower of Babel. Also , the Tower of Babel was the tallest building made and now CERN has made the largest machine ever made.
Today, its main focus has been on particle physics, which includes looking at antimatter, and searching for the Higgs Boson, more commonly known as the “God Particle.” In order to conduct this research, its main tool has been the LHC or the Large Hadron Collider. What’s interesting to note is the size of this world-renowned particle accelerator:
The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide. The beams travel in opposite directions in separate beam pipes – two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum. They are guided around the accelerator ring by a strong magnetic field maintained by superconducting electromagnets. The electromagnets are built from coils of special electric cable that operates in a superconducting state, efficiently conducting electricity without resistance or loss of energy. This requires chilling the magnets to ‑271.3°C – a temperature colder than outer space. For this reason, much of the accelerator is connected to a distribution system of liquid helium, which cools the magnets, as well as to other supply services.[
It is interesting that they would create conditions colder than space itself, however, the more pressing issue is the size of this accelerator. With a circumference of 27 kilometers, or 16.777 miles, this is a fairly large construction for simply testing particle beams. Furthermore, aside from trying to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang, the folks at CERN are quite literally trying to rip into the fabric of space-time and see into other dimensions. In an article published on January 1, 2013 by the The Guardian titled, Higgs boson was just a start for Cern’s atom smasher – other mysteries await, Andy Parker, a professor of high energy physics at Cambridge is quoted as saying:
“What you’d expect is that as you reach the right energy, you suddenly see inside the extra dimensions, and gravity becomes big and strong instead of feeble and weak…There could be a whole universe full of galaxies and stars and civilisations and newspapers that we didn’t know about…That would be a big deal.”[14]
It certainly would be a big deal. But perhaps this entire organization is simply a front to develop the kinds of particle laser beams that will be necessary to combat a future invasion from space, or a different dimension entirely. Such speculation is quite likely after looking at more of the comments made by the scientists who are working at CERN.
In an article published by the Telegraph in 2008 titled Time travelers from the future ‘could be here in weeks,’ coinciding the launch of the LHC, many comments about the potential of this device creating wormholes were made. In one such example:
“Prof Aref’eva and Dr Volovich believe the LHC could create wormholes and so allow a form of time travel. ‘We realised that closed timelike curves and wormholes could also be a result of collisions of particles,’ Prof Aref’eva says.[15]
Then there was the mention from the website Science Guardian dot com, in an article titled CERN Challenges the gods, that there are apparently, “three dangers inherent in the CERN insistence on going full speed ahead despite all the warning signals: strangelets turning the planet into a smoking asteroid the size of a baseball park, a micro black hole swallowing the earth from the core outwards, if not the sun, and/or the generation of a huge amount of energy equivalent to a thermonuclear bomb per second.”[16] Very encouraging and positive from these leading scientists isn’t it?
But there’s more. Many conspiracy researchers have pointed out the fact that sitting in front of the CERN LHC facility is a statue of the Hindu god Shiva, also known as “the Destroyer” or “the Transformer.” They have also pointed out the suspicious display of ancient text surrounded by a blue laser beam in the foyer of the facility.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we can see that the there are some very curious things about the ancient Tower of Babel concerning what they were building, why they were building it, and who might have assisted in the development of such technology. The implications suggest that there was help from the “Watchers” or other forms of intelligence that guided in the process. And while this idea echoes throughout ancient mythologies, it is remarkable to consider the possibility that something very similar is happening today.
We may never know exactly what was going on back in the time of Genesis 11.
We can be certain that the Lord God is in control, and that He will use such devices of the enemy to bring about His ultimate will. No doubt, the words of Jesus and his prophecies about the end times begin to sound very interesting.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. ~Matthew 24:22
Could the development of such devices as the Large Hadron Collider be a strong indication, that we live once again in the days of Noah (which lasted beyond the flood), and the days of Lot? Could we be on the brink of re-discovering an occult science that will usher in the beast system once and for all, and trigger the events of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?
