Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as
men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of
Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, "Come,
let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had
brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, "Come,
let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the
heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the
sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one
people, and they have all one language; and this is only the
beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to
do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us
go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one
another's speech."
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of
the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its
name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the
language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered
them abroad over the face of the earth. - Genesis 11.
From the Enuma elish;
'Their manners revolt me, day and night without remission we
suffer. My will is to destroy them, all of their kind, we shall
have peace at last and we will sleep again.'
When Tiamat heard she was stung, she writhed in lonely
desolation, her heart worked in secret passion, Tiamat said,
'Why must we destroy the children that we made? If their ways
are troublesome, let us wait a little while.'
Then Mummu advised Apsu, and he spoke in malice,
'Father, destroy them in full rebellion, you will have quiet in
the daytime and at night you will sleep.'
When Apsu heard, the die was cast against his children,
his face flamed with the pleasure of evil;; but Mummu her
embraced, he hung on his neck, he sat him down on his knees and
kissed him.
The decision was known to all their children; confusion
seized them and after, a great silence, for they were confounded.
Enuma elish
The story of the tower of Babel found in the Bible is
familiar to many. Is there evidence that such a tower really
existed? There are archaeological indications that it did,
indeed.
In the fertile Mesopotamian plain between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern Iraq, is a mound, or
tell, of broken mud-brick buildings and debris. This is all that
remains of the ancient famed city of Babylon.
Babylon was one of a number of cities built by a succession of
peoples that lived on the plain starting around 5,500 years ago.
There developed a tradition in each city of building a temple
in the shape of a stepped pyramid. These temples, or ziggurates,
most likely honored a particular god. The people of Mesopotamia
believed in many gods and often a city might have several
ziggurates. Over time Babylon became the most influential city
on the plain and its ziggurat, honoring the god Marduk, was
built, destroyed and rebuilt until it was the tallest tower.
Archaeologists examining the remains of the city of Babylon
have found what appears to be the foundation of the tower: a
square of earthen embankments some three-hundred feet on each
side. The tower's most splendid incarnation was probably under
King Nebuchadnezzar II who lived from 605-562 BC. The King
rebuilt the tower to stand 295 feet high. According to an
inscription made by the king the tower was constructed of "baked
brick enameled in brilliant blue." The terraces of the tower
may have also been planted with flowers and trees.
Constructing ziggurats on the Mesopotamian plain was not
easy. The area lacks the stone deposits the Egyptians used
effectively for their timeless monuments. The wood available is
mostly palm, not the best for construction, so the people used
what they had in abundance: mud and straw. The bulk of the
towers were constructed of crude bricks made by mixing chopped
straw with clay and pouring the results into molds. After the
bricks were allowed to bake in the sun they were joined in
construction by using bitumen, a slimey material imported from
the Iranian plateau. Bitumen was used widely as a binding and
coating material throughout the Mesopotamian plain.

"For the whole creation that came from
the dead earth will be under the authority of death". ( Enlil )
We begin with verses that have been corrupted to include Cain
in the human population and be born of Eve.
These corruptions cause Lamech and his son's to be punished for Cain's evil.
All Mason's are aware that Enoch and his grandson's have
everything to do with the beginning
of the present 'brotherhood' and are prominent in degree work.
They have more to do with present Masonry than any other humans on earth.
When you see that they are depicted as evil followers of
Cain, you understand the corruptions made
in the KJB to discredit them.
The JK Bible story from Genesis
"Now Jared was the father of Enoch; whose son was Malaliel;
whose son was Mathusela; whose son was Lamech; who had
seventy-seven children by two wives, Silla and Ada. Of those
children by Ada, one was Jabal: he erected tents, and loved the
life of a shepherd. But Jubal,
who was born of the same mother with him, exercised himself in
music; and invented the psaltery and the harp. But Tubal,
one of his children by the other wife, exceeded all men in
strength, and was very expert and famous in martial performances.
He procured what tended to the pleasures of the
body by that method; and first of all
invented the art of making brass".
"Lamech was also the father of a daughter, whose
name was Naamah....... And because he was so skillful
in matters of divine revelation, that he knew he was to be punished for Cain's
murder of his brother, he made that known to his wives. Nay, even while Adam
was alive, it came to pass that the posterity of
Cain became exceeding wicked, every one
successively dying, one after another, more wicked than the former.
They were intolerable in war, and vehement in robberies;
and if any one were slow to murder people, yet was he bold in his profligate
behavior, in acting unjustly, and doing injuries for gain".
Notice how this description says, Jared is the Father of Enoch, not Cain.
The verse above actually says Lamech is to be punished for
'the murder' of Cain's brother but Lamech didn't kill his brother, Cain did. Why
would Lamech be punished for Abel's murder?
Read verse 4:23, it says, "I have killed a youth who attacked me".
It stops short in explaining who the youth is, but this self defence
seems to be OK.
We also see the KJB connecting Enoch's relatives with Cain but we know Cain was
born of Enlil and probably did not even live anywhere near
the son's of Enoch. If he was expelled in Genesis 4:15 to 'Nod', he
and his family could not have corrupted the real Enoch. see Genesis 5:9-32
also on the family line of Enoch. Genesis 4:21-24 shows the names of
Cain's so-called relatives. The names in these verses match the names of
Enoch's descendents except for Irad and Mehujael. One of these
is incorrect, and it's probably the line of the son's of Cain.
The beginning of the 4th and final epoch
Noah's Flood, Noah's Connection to Masonry
(Anderson’s Constitutions of 1738)
Anderson's states that "Noachidæ was the
first name of masons according to some old traditions".
"Noachida and Freemason have come to be considered as synonymous terms."
The hero of the epoch, called Noah, by Jews, Christians and Muslims, became the
progenitor of the post flood world. Legend accords to this figure that he was singled out
by God for his unsurpassed righteousness in his generation. Since he was
considered righteous amidst a world of evil doers,
he must have followed some moral code. Various ancient sources record attempts to
define this ancient code of morals and ethics. The
Book of Jubilees
contains these ancient writings and were discovered with the Dead Sea Scrolls. The conversion of
dates used here is; 2000 AD = 5760 AM.
Because of recent
archaeological findings, We feel the great flood of Noah dates
to over 7600 years ago and covered an area from north of Baghdad to
the Persain Gulf over Iraq, Iran and Kuwait in that area.
There are also world wide stories
of the flood from many different lands which date back
as many years. Many other people other than Noah may have escaped as
these stories originate in many different lands. The people built rafts,
had canoes or climbed the highest mountains to escape the flood.
The Ute Indians of North America
have a story as well as a Canadian tribe called Chiglit.
Other American Indian tribes tell the story, such as the
Flatheads, Tribes in Oregon, and the Yakima.
There are also stories from Peru and Mexico where Viracocha, the surpreme God of
the Inca, destroys mankind with a flood. The Guanca and Aymara
versions of South America say
the people found shelter in sealed caves and later emerged
to spread across the world. There are
stories from Equador where the Jivaro and Murato Indians
link the flood with a supernatural boa.
It is believed that the writers of the book of Genesis used
some of this material which was written
several thousand years later. Noah's story just seems
to be the most popular version.
It is a widely known fact among learned scholars that
the story of the Ark and the Flood is found in no
less than three separate guises in the legends of Mesopotamia.
These legends comprise the legend of Ziusudra, the
legend of Utnapishtim (which is found in
The Epic of Gilgamesh), and the legend of Atra-Hasis.
These three legends, despite
some important differences, all tell much the same
story about a Flood-hero
building a boat and saving the seed of all living things.
These excerpts conclude that volcanos
also erupted violently and spewed sulphuric
gases into the atomosphere. This also
indicates a crust shift. This we feel is the forth
destruction occuring about 7640BC.
"...The ancient Egyptians had...worshipped Thoth as 'the
personification of the mind of god', as 'the author of every
work on every branch of knowledge, both human and divine', and
as 'the inventory of astronomy and astrology, the science of
numbers and mathematics, geometry and land surveying, medicine
and botany."
"...Thoth, who had been seen by the Egyptians as the source of
all their knowledge and science, had been credited with having
caused a flood to punish humankind for wickedness. In this
episode, related in Chapter CLXXV of the Book of the Dead,
he had acted jointly with his counterpart Osiris. Both deities
had subsequently ruled on earth after the human race had begun
to flourish again."
- Graham Hancock, The Sign and
the Seal
"They have fought fights, they have upheld strifes, they
have done evil, they have created hostilities, they have made
slaughter they have caused trouble and oppression...[Therefore]
I am going to blot out everything which I have made. This earth
shall enter into the watery abyss by means of a raging flood,
and will become even as it was in primeval time."
- Thebian Recession of the Book of the Dead
The Noahide Laws
Gnostics including author Rick Levine maintain that the
coming of the Messiah was discerned through astrology rather
than the Hebrew Scriptures. The Secret Book of the Egyptian
Gnostics claims that Adam had prophesied the narrative of the
Magi and it was buried in a Persian cave along with certain
treasures:
"At the same time, now mingling nascent Christianity with
these Iranian and Jewish myths (Zoroaster), there were
amplifications of the major episode of the Magi keeping watch
for the rising of the star that was to guide them to Bethlehem
for the adoration of the Messiah. The principle work in which
...all these traditions became synchrotized was The Book of the
Cave of Treasures...It puts all these revelations into the
mouth of Adam as the first of a long series of prophets, who
predicts how the Magi will await the announcement of the
Saviour, near this cave in which Adam himself will have been
interred, and where the Treasures are concealed which the Magi
will carry to Bethlehem."
The sacred Book of the Cave of Treasures is alleged to
contain the secret teachings that were written by Adam, who
transmitted them to Noah.
"In The Book of the Cave of Treasures ...a quote from it in
these lines, spoken by the Magi: "Adam imparted revelations to
his son Seth...he recommended his son Seth never to fail in
justice as he Adam had done. Seth welcomed the teaching of his
father with a pure heart and it was given to him to inscribe
this wisdom in a book and to teach it...And thanks to him, for
the first time in this world, there was seen a book written in
the name of the Most High. Seth bequeathed to his descendents
the book thus written, and that book was handed down even to
Noah...(who) took with him into the Ark the books of these
teachings... He ordained in his turn that the generation that
came after him were to repeat...the mysteries in the books of
Seth...These mysteries and this narrative were handed down
even to our fathers...who passed them on to us."
The History of Freemasonry, by High Adept and Prince of Masonry
Albert Mackey, provides the sequel to the Gnostic version of
the account of Noah:
"After Noah’s emergence from the Ark, he is said to have
promulgated seven precepts for the government of the new race
of men of whom he was to be the progenitor... (1) To do justice
(2) Worship God (3) Abstain from idolatry (4) Preserve chastity
(5) Do not commit murder (6) Do not steal (7) Do not eat blood."
"(1) Thou shalt not engage in idol worship. (2) Thou shalt
not blaspheme God. (3) Thou shalt not shed innocent blood. (4)
Thou shalt not engage in bestial, incestuous, adulterous or
homosexual relations not commit the act of rape. (5) Thou shalt
not steal. (6) Thou shalt establish laws and courts of law to
administer these laws, including the death penalty for those who
kill, administered only if there is one testifying eyewitness.
(7) Thou shalt not be cruel to animals."
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, these regulations,
which are known as the Noahide Laws, derive from a Cabalistic
interpretation of the Torah.
According to Albert Mackey, the Noahide laws were intended
to regulate the conduct of both Jews and Gentiles: "These seven
obligations...are held binding on all men, inasmuch as all are
descendants of Noah, and the Rabbins maintain that he who
observes them, though he not be an Israelite, has a share in
the future life, and it is the duty of every Jew to enforce
their due observance wherever he has the power to do so.
The Encyclopedia Of Judaism lists the same seven laws,
which "…are felt to represent at least a formulation of basic,
intuitive ‘natural law’...as a mechanism for non-Jews to be
governed under Jewish jurisdiction." The entry mentions further
that: "Full-page ads in the New York Times and other newspapers
have proclaimed: ‘All nations of the world: Fulfill the 7
universal Noahide Laws given to you in the Torah of Moses.’"
The Encyclopedia then bluntly asserts the appropriate penalty
for disobedience: "One additional element of greater severity
is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the
Noahide to capital punishment by decapitation.
This is Noah's account
65.1 And in those days, Noah saw the earth had tilted,
and that its destruction was near.
65.2 And he set off from there, and went to the ends of the earth,
and cried out to his great-grandfather
Enoch; and Noah said three times in a bitter voice: "Hear me, hear me, hear me!"
65.3 And he said to him: "Tell me, what is it that is being done
on the earth, that the earth is so afflicted and shaken,
lest I be destroyed with it!"
67.5 And I saw that valley, in which there was a great
disturbance, and a heaving of the waters.
67.6 And when all this happened, from the fiery molten metal,
and the disturbance, which disturbed the waters
in that place, a smell of sulphur was produced, and it was associated with
those waters. And that valley of the Angels, who led men
astray, burns under the ground.
THE BOOK OF NOAH
Those men will come who have been cast forth from the knowledge of the
great Aeon and the angels. They will stand before Noah and the Aeons.
And God will say to Noah, "Why have you departed from what I told you?
You have created another generation so that you may scorn my power"
Then Noah will say , "I shall testify
before your might that the generation of these men did not come
from me nor from my sons".
"And he will [rescue] those men and bring them into their
proper land, and build them a holy dwelling place. And they will
be called by that name and dwell there six hundred years ( 6,000 )
in a knowledge of imperishability. And the angels of the great
Light will dwell with them. No foul deed will dwell in their heart(s),
but only the knowledge of God. Then Noah will divide the whole
earth among his sons, Ham and Japheth and Shem. He will say to
them, "My sons, listen to my words. Behold, I have divided the
earth among you. But serve him in fear and slavery all the days
of your life. Let not your seed depart from the face of God the
Almighty. [...] I and your [...] son of Noah, "My seed will be
pleasing before you and before your power. Seal it by your strong
hand, with fear and commandment, so that the whole seed which
came forth from me may not be inclined away from you and God the
Almighty, but it will serve in humility and fear of its knowledge." ..
from The Apocalypse of Adam
We added words to the missing text here.
..And he will [ live with ]( In flesh )
those men and bring them....[Adam/Seth/Nimrod who is ]
I and your [chosen one, grand ] son of Noah,.....
This indicates someone is incarnated into flesh
and will help these people find the land where God wants them
to be.
Then others from the seed of Ham and Japheth will
come, four hundred thousand men,
and enter into another land and sojourn with
those men who came forth from the great eternal knowledge. For the shadow
of their power will protect those who have sojourned
with them from every evil thing and
every unclean desire. Then the seed of Ham and Japheth
will form twelve kingdoms, and their
seed also will enter into the kingdom of another people.
"Then [Satan] will take counsel [with those] who are
dead, of the great aeons of imperishability.
And they will go to Sakla, (Baal/Satan ) their God.
They will go in to the powers, accusing
the great men who are in their glory". Another words, they will
incarnate into flesh and teach a false religion
accusing Nimrod of creating the evil.
"They will say to Sakla, "What is the power of these men who
stood in your presence, who
were taken from the seed of Ham and Japheth, who will number four hundred
men? They have been received into another aeon from
which they had come forth, and they have overturned all the
glory of your power and the dominion of your hand. For the seed
of Noah through his sons has done all your will, and (so have)
all the powers in the aeons over which your might rules, while
both those men and the ones who are sojourners in their glory
have not done your will. But they have turned (aside) your whole
throng."
It is here we find the offending evil doers. They are the
sons of Shem because since the time of Adam, the
Hebrew version fully describes men that mistook Enlil as the
true god because he and his descendents serve him in fear and
slavery...The next verse seems to indicate that the 'illuminator'
will save a seed from Noah's sons so that there will be a
generation worth saving. He redeems them from death or
ignorance. As we see, those who use the knowledge from the
'eternal god' will not perish.
see The Enuma Elish
Once again,
for the third time, the illuminator
of knowledge will pass by in great glory, in order to leave
(something) of the seed of Noah and the sons of Ham and Japheth -
to leave for himself fruit-bearing trees. And he
will redeem their souls from the day of death.
For the whole creation that came
from the dead earth will be under the authority of death.
( Satan ) But those who reflect
upon the knowledge of the eternal God in their
heart(s) will not perish. For they have not received spirit from this kingdom alone,
but they have received (it) from a [...] eternal angel. [...]
illuminator [...] will come upon
[...] that is dead [...] of Seth. And he will perform signs and wonders in
order to scorn the powers and their ruler.
..from The Apocalypse of Adam
We added words to the missing text here. "but they have
received (it) from a [holy] eternal angel.
[Then the false ] illuminator. [Satan] will come upon
[ them and claim flesh ] that is dead, [ those not born ] of Seth.
He ( Satan ) will perform signs....
"Then the angels and all the generations of the powers will use
the name in error, asking, "Where did it (the error) come from?" or
"Where did the words of deception, which all the powers have
failed to discover, come from?"
"He caused a knowledge of the undefiled one of truth
to come to be in him. He said, "Out of a foreign air, from a
great aeon, the great illuminator came forth. And he made the
generation of those men whom he had chosen for himself shine,
so that they could shine upon the whole aeon."
from The Apocalypse of Adam in the Nag Hammidi.
This passage indicates that the spirit of the great Seth ( the undefiled one
of truth ) is incarnated in somebody, they'd ( the Roman's )
like to forget about. Was it Nimrod? Was it Ham?
As you can plainly see, an effort to hide the truth once more is made here. Were Deletions
of important words were made before these texts were made public? The Dead Sea Scrolls have been
in the hands of Roman, Christian and Jewish authorities since they were discovered. The Nag Hammidi
collection has been in the hands of Muslim ( Egyptian ) authorities. We think it is very strange that
important words that connect Nimrod with God and other words that describe Satan's influence
are deleted.
Noah's Ark
Note; we have asked permission
from Mr.Wyatt to use his pictures, and we hope he will consent and allow their use. His research
is of such great importance, we felt the need to refer to it here. If Copyright violations have
occured, we will remove the content.
After the great flood, only the High Priests and the Kings [ decendents of Noah ] had the
secrets and 'the Sacred Knowledge or God's Wisdom'. The High Priest attended to
God's work while the King was in charge of 'educating the people'. This was to ensure that man
would never be able to destroy himself again. This means that Noah had been taught the secrets
of buildingand he passed it on to his sons. There is nothing evil in that.
The secrets and symbolism of building and the sciences therefore predated the flood
and the possibility that the early Sumerians [ Noah and his family ] actually reconstructed the
"world" is real and possible indeed. It is known that the Ark came to rest on mount Ararat, which
is in Armenia. This country lies to the East of Turkey and is extremly mountainous. Some scientists
feel the Ark was pushed up into the mountians by a title wave or 'tsunami' where it traveled up
the Persian Gulf and northwestwards across the low lying land of Mesopotamia.
In Sept. 1960, 27 year old Ron Wyatt, along with thousands of other people, read an article
in "Life" Magazine about a strange boat-shaped formation in the mountains of Ararat: "20 miles
south of Mt. Ararat" is a pretty vague location in a region that is all mountains.
INTRODUCTION to the Discovery
of Noah's Ark
Read about this amazing discovery and the pains-taking research that
followed by Ron Wyatt. This site contains Real Player audio which describes the artifacts Ron found
and their significance to the Biblical story of Noah. Look under the Pictures link.
Wyatt Archaeological Research
An earthquake (which injured no one) had dropped the
earth around the object and there on the mountainside, Ron saw what looked like a giant shipwreck!
Evenly spaced indentations could be seen all the way around the object, which looked like decaying
rib timbers. The earthquake had also cracked the object from "stem to stern"
More on..Noah's Ark research
The Aramaic root word for the Hebrew word "gopher wood", and seems to indicate laminated
wood (this is when layers of wooden boards are glued together one upon the other to provide extra
strength), and when these cuts were completed, it was plainly evident that at least this portion of the
deck planking is laminated wood.
The researchers also found pieces of Iron laced with Titianium used to connect
something within the Ark. They also found rivets and washers made
of Iron. Had God allowed Noah to use metals?
Reference is made in the Book of Genesis, Ch. 4 v. 22: “and Zillah, she also bare Tubal-Cain, an
instructor of every artificer of iron and brass”. The iron referred to, is considered to be meteoric iron.

Measurements of the Ark
"although there is evidence that many early civilizations
devised standards of measurements and some tools for measuring,
the Egyptian cubit is generally recognized as having
been the most ubiquitous standard of linear
measurement in the very ancient world."
The royal Egyptian cubit was 20.62 inches. Now, if we
consider the Biblical statement that Moses was "learned
in all the wisdom of Egypt" - Acts 7:22, as the
author of Genesis, he would have been referring to the only cubit he knew. 300
cubits = 515.5 feet. 50 cubits = 85.9 feet. The measurement
of the length of the boat, taken in August, 1985 by Maylon
Wilson and Baumgardner of Los Alamos Laboratory with sophisticated measurement
devices, showed the inside length of the boat to be 515.7 feet!
David Fasold's measurement of the same was exactly 515 feet!

The Royal Cubit. Extremely
technical and highly advanced Math used by the Egyptians.
After the Ark
landed, in the Valley of the mountains of Urartu (Ararat) as specified in the Bible, anchor stones
were discovered. One of the stones bore the inscription of Nimrod, the builder of
the tower of Babel and several great cities of early antiquity. These symbols of Nimrod were
crosses with the outline of a boat (the Ark?) attached to the base of the cross.
This symbolized his claim that he had preserved mankind in the
face of their attempted destruction by the gods.
The boat at the foot of the cross represented the means he claimed to have used
to save mankind. The horizontal member of the cross represented
heaven, and the vertical member of the cross
represented the tower of Babel, which was the pathway to heaven he had promised his
followers he would provide. After Nimrod's death, the boat symbol was
placed at the top of the vertical member of
the cross and is the symbol of life in the Egyptian
hieroglyphics and the symbol of Nimrod's (Osirus) presence in heaven from whence
he cares for his earthly followers. Mr.Wyatt however disputes Nimrod carving these symbols.
He says in the video that he was able to unearth another anchor and there was
no writing anywhere on it. Perhaps Nimrod could only unearth this one stone
and he did infact write on it because it indicates ancient beliefs now
brought to the forefront of New Age thought..
In one of mr Wyatt's photographs you will see a drawing of where
the seven anchor stones were found. From this location the title wave
could have hit the boat already anchored, broke the ropes that held it in place and
washed it farther up the mountain peak. The anchor stones are in
line with the middle of a valley between Mt. Ararat and another peak. Then a lava flow
at a later date pushed it to the right and turned it sideways where it came to rest.
Mr. Wyatt says, "When the ark, sliding sideways down the mountainside,
hit the large outcropping of limestone, it was literally impaled on the large rock."
In this area also it is thought that Noah's family had a garden,
a vinyard and they loosed the domesticated animals and
made their home here for many years.
The 'Sons of Light' learn the sciences
The traditional history of Masonry now begins,
in the legend of the Craft, with an account of the three sons
of Lamech, to whom is credited the discovery of all sciences.
But the most interesting part of the legend is that
in which the story is told of two pillars erected by these
sons, and on which they had inscribed the
discoveries they had made, so that after the threatened destruction
of the world of knowledge which they had gained might be handed on to the
human race after the Flood. Of these two pillers, is one actually the pyramid?
Lamech is the great grand son of Enoch. We feel this puts his time on earth
after the Pyramid is built and before Noah's flood, which we
feel is the third destruction of the Earth.
The Wood Manuscript, written in 1610 identifies the sciences
with which masonry has been associated. These are '
grammar ', ' rethorick ', ' logicke ', ' arithmetick ', ' geometrye ',
' musick ' and ' astronomie '. This same year, Galileo first declared
his theory on the structure of the solar system. The manuscript also
traces the history of the ' Order ' from one of the two pillars
that was found after Noah's flood, one made of marble that would not
burn with fire , the other made of a substance known in Masonic legend as
Laterus, which would not dissolve, sink or drown in any water.
The pillar that was found had upon it inscribed, the secrets of the
sciences from which the Sumerians developed a moral code that passed to
the Egyptians. through the Sumerian, Enoch.
Another interpertation;"...And that their inventions might
not be lost before they were sufficiently
known, upon Adam's prediction that the world was
to be destroyed at one time by the force of fire, and at another time by the
violence and quantity of water, they made two pillars,
the one of brick, the other of stone:
they inscribed their discoveries on them both, that in case the pillar of
brick should be destroyed by the flood, the pillar of
stone might remain, and exhibit those discoveries to
mankind; and also inform them that there was another
pillar of brick erected by them. Now this
remains in the land of Siriad to this day". from
Antiquities of the Jews
by Flavius Josephus.
Take note of the sentence that says, "..also inform
them that there was another pillar of brick erected
by them". Does this refer to an even earlier time period?
On the Atlantis page we discovered that the people were destroyed by volcanic
eruptions, fire from heaven and changes in the earths crust which
shifted the land masses to the positions we find them in today.
Animal extinctions are also known to have occured at this time. With this
catastrophe these animals disappeared; mammoths, mastodons,
horses, camelids, tapir, ground sloths, sabertooth 'cats', and many other
species of large animals in North America alone. This was an 'aprupt'
elimination of many creatures that is now said to
have been caused by meteors hitting the earth.
There were huge title waves and the earth was thrown violently into a nuclear winter.
But just as suddenly the earth recovered and man resumed planting
crops and domesticating animals.
This dating goes back at least 11,000 years as seen
in the connection with the eruption of Vesuvius,
so we feel it cannot be connected to Noah, but it could
still be connected to Enoch and the Watchers
and Enoch's grandsons. The substance called
Laterus is presumed to be from this earlier period
which is more than 36,000 years ago.
From Eden to Egypt
The one thing that stands out amoung
historians is that Sumner seems to have appeared
overnight around 10,500BC into a full blown organized culture,
without any evidence of earlier origins. This has been a mystery
unless there were priests and " keepers of the royal secrets ",
who survived an earlier catastrophic disaster. It is believed their
knowledge of nature and science and the study of the heavens
gave them sufficient time to prepare for the coming flood with perhaps
even the knowledge to build the Ark. Of course Noah
knew the ' secrets 'and possessed the 'knowledge and wisdom of God'.
These secrets he passed on to his sons.
Most of the earths inhabitants were living as nomads,
wandering in small bands, gathering
food by hunting animals and gathering seeds and wild
plants to eat. They lived on the broad savannahs of Africa and
in Australia and the Americas. They
stayed close to the wild herds and moved with them during
the migrations.
The Sumerians on the other hand, were cultivating crops,
domesticating small animals, and living in groups in villages as early
as 10,000BC. Who the first Sumerians were and where they came
from is still unanswered. They were a dark-haired,
light skinned people and may have come from the east of Mesopotamia.
The Sumerians lived in the valley formed by the
banks of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.
The Greeks called this land Mesopotamia, meaning 'between
the rivers'.
There were many cities in the land of Sumer and each had a King
and priesthood. At the center of the city there was a temple from which
the priests controled every aspect of life in the community, including
the despensing of justice, scientific and theological learning and
religious ritual. They had scrolls which taught writing, mathematics,
literature, music, law accounting and serveying.
Sumer had well advanced agriculture, specialised craftsmen,
co-operative irrigation works, ceremonial centers and
written records. They had basic industry such as the making of textiles and ceramics.
They invented glass and became glaziers as well as metal workers,
using gold, silver, copper and bronze. They were accomplished stone
carvers and creators of delicate filigree work and carpentry and they
invented the wheel. They had a diverse network of trade
and attracted many distant lands whos' people traded simple
goods for the advanced produce and goods of Sumer.
The other suvivors not mentioned in the KJB
Mummies of another group of caucasian people have been
found in Northern China, in the
Mountains under ice. They were giants of their age, being over
7 feet tall. It is said these
giants went to the High China mountains to escape the flood.
That is why in the stories that
followed of King David, some of these giants had
survived. Goliath was one of these giants and is described as
being 9 feet tall..
It is also known that the Sumerians used the wheel as a means
of transport, surely a great contribution to the growing list of working
tools, and further to this they also knew the circle contained
360 degrees. A profound discovery indeed,
when we see in our lifetimes the vast list not only of working
tools, but instruments for geometrical use, for astronomy, for surveying --
why the list is limitless which followed in its wake.
There is little need to wonder then, that the Masonic
philosophy was one termed: “a system of
morality veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols”.
The moralising of the tools is quite easily understood when we
remember the many Biblical references to the plummet,
plumb-line, compasses, etc. used in parable or allegory.
Unlike the legend of Hermes, the story of the Tower of
Babel appears in the Halliwell poem,
which shows that the legend was the common property of
the various writers of these old
manuscripts. In the second of the two poems, which as we
have seen are united in one manuscript,
the legend of Babel, or Babylon, is given.
After the Ark Landed..
Masonic legend says King Nimrod of Babylonia and Assyria was
the first Grand Master and built the Tower of Babel.
It had credited the first organization of the fraternity of
craftsmen to him, in saying that he gave a charge to the workmen whom he sent
to assist the King of Nineveh in building his cities.
That is to say, he framed for them a Constitution, and, in the
words of the legend, this was the
first tyme that ever Masons had any charge of his science. It was
the first time that the Craft
was organized into a fraternity working under a Constitution of
body of laws. As Nimrod was
the autocratic maker of these laws, it necessarily resulted
that their first legislator, creating laws
with his unlimited and absolute governing power. The Cook
Manuscript also supports this theory by
stating that Nimrod framed the first Masonic constitution.
With the building of the tower began 'operative' masonry.
This clearly indicates that Nimrod has been singled out as evil by the
false profits because of 'his knowledge'.
Having settled the foundation
of Freemasonry in Babylon, the legend of the Craft next
proceeds to tell the history of its movement into Egypt. This
Egyptian account, which in reference to the principal
action in it has been called the legend of Euclid, is found
in all the old manuscripts.
This legend is the opening feature of the Halliwell poem, being in that
document the beginning of the history of Masonry; it is told
with very much detail in the Cooke MS., and is apparently copied from that into all
the later manuscripts, where the important particulars are about
the same, although we find a few things told in some
which are left out of others. Euclid was the 'pupil' of
Abraham.
In Genesis Chapters 10 and 11. Genesis 10 is the so-called "Table
of Nations"--a list of 70 names of Noah's descendants through Shem, Ham,
and Japheth. The list is probably not complete, but we are given a good
picture of the division of our race into three branches each having been
gifted special giftedness and unique qualities by God, highlighting the
spiritual, intellectual and physical sides of man as he was created in
the image of God. Genesis 10:6-12 includes a parenthetical section on one
of the sons of grandsons Ham, and Nimrod the son of Cush.
"The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. The sons of Cush:
Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. Cush became the father
of Nimrod; he was the first on earth
to be a mighty man. The sons of Raamah: Sheba
and Dedan.
( Nimrod ) "He was a mighty hunter before the Lord"; therefore it
is said, 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.' The beginning of
his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar (Sumer).
From that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah,
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city...
(Hebrews 10:6-12)
The four sons of Ham are relatively easy to trace in history. Cush
is associated with the peoples of Southern Arabia and Ethiopia. Ethiopians,
who are said to possess
The Ark of the Covenant
, still trace their ancestry back to Cush. Egypt (or Mizraim, in Hebrew-an
ancient name for Egypt) became the father of the Egyptian Empire, settling
in the Nile Valley. Put is associated with Lydia, on the west of Egypt in
North Africa. Canaan centered largely in and around Palestine, though
the Canaanites later became much more widespread.
This is a drawing of Babylonia. Here we see a recreation of the ancient Island City of
Atlantis .
As described on the Atlantis page, there was a mote around the city. All agriculture,
animals and people were inside the 'ring' to protect them from invaders. One
more piece of the puzzle fits together. The 'ring' also indicated a symbol
of the Sun which inturn was God, ie., a city dedicated to the True God by Nimrod.
The mote is a symbol of the 'Rivers of Heaven', called the 'bitter river'.
It's also likely there were 7 districts
around that indicating the 'seven heavens' or celestial bodies.
In the upper left corner it says, 'where the sun is not seen', possibly indicating hell.
Did they remember this from the cities of Atlantis and do it again?
With the names of Noah's sons, we see the creation of
nations after the flood.
The Bible traces all false religions to Babylon and this is
the only element in the description of early Babylon that can have
this meaning. We would expect something like this from the nature
of Babylon and its culture and from what is told us of all cultures
that turn away from God. Romans, in the KJB says that when people reject the
knowledge of God they inevitably turn to false gods, making them
like "mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles" (Rom. 1:23).
That's their false version of the truth. It is in the new testament
written by Romans so we know there is another story here.
Most of the citizens of Babylon had rejected the knowledge of the true God.
Therefore, we should expect the creation of a false religion as part
of their dubious cultural achievements. Again, the Bible speaks of
"mystery Babylon," that is, of the reality symbolized by the earthly
city, saying that it is "the mother of prostitutes and of the
abominations of the earth" (Rev. 17:5). This refers, as do the
ideas of prostitution and abomination throughout the Bible,
to a false religion. The problem is, which one is false?
And who really started it.
Nimrod's name is from the verb "let us revolt." He is said to be a
mighty hunter (gibbor tsayidh) in the sight of the Lord, but the language
has a allegorical meaning. He becomes a tyrant or despot leading an organized
rebellion against the rule of Yahweh. He hunts not animals, but rather
the souls of men.
Cain, a condemned murderer had started the first cities
before the Flood. Nimrod builds the first post-flood cities.
But we feel this is not
so that he becomes similar or equal to Cain. There were
many other 'firsts' that are recorded in the cuneiform tablets. All having to do
with justice, morality and law. They established a
farmers almanac and had literary debates.
They even had the first tale of resurrection. This knowledge
was brought to Babylon by somebody and it was used very early by Noah's
decendents. It was for the 'good' of the people, not to corrupt them.
God promised to protect the sons of Noah, so we don't see how any evil
could come from this, Nimrod and God's family..but apparently it did.
The region Nimrod settles in is now mostly modern Iraq. The Living
Bible, Genesis 10:10, says he settled
Erech, Accad and Calneh in the land of Shinar. It also says
he was "blessed of God".
"Most of the sons of Ham went south to Africa or East to
China. In Genesis 9:25, Ham's descendents are crused. His sons
the Canaanites, named after his son Canaan, become Baal worshipers.
The people of Shem stayed close-in to the region where the
Ark landed. Shem's sons are Eber, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram.
The sons of Japheth are Gomer, Magog, Javan, Tubal, Meshech,
Tiras and Madai. His descendents, the Japhethites headed mostly
North and West. Genesis 10 continues with a list of the other descendants
of Ham, then presents a list of Shem's lineage. Chapter 11 resumes the
account of Nimrod's Babylon.
Could Nimrod have known about the false god
at this time? If he did this gives him more than good
reason for a revolt.
The words," rebellion against the rule of Yahweh", are the key.
We think Nimrod rebelled against the false God, but the
people wouldn't listen and the false god claimed the worship
for himself and corrupted everyone again from that time until
now. see Abraham
for a more complete explaination.>
The false God believers turned this around to their advantage and
called Nimrod evil. Just like Moses, he wasn't taken seriously and the people
turned against him. Cain's decendents did not die in the flood as they
escaped to wreck havock again by incarnating and making these
accusations against Nimrod. The world still believes this.
Religious sources say Nimrod probably began to build
his cities within a hundred years of the Flood. The confusion of tongues
is usually thought to have occurred
during the days of Peleg (Gen. 10:25). The chronology one derives from
most English Bibles, which are translated from the Masoretic Hebrew text,
places the time of Peleg only about 100 years after the Flood. This is
probably incorrect. Barry Setterfield dates Peleg as living 530 years
after the Flood, using the Vorlage Text and the Septuagint (LXX).
See his Creation and Catastrophe Chronology. The dates computed by
Setterfield are a much better fit to what we know from archaeology
and recorded history about the ancient civilizations of Egypt and
Fertile Crescent Region. The world population at the time of the
Dispersion at Babel may have been of the order of tens of
thousands of persons.
The Sumerians; They were a dark haired, light skined people.
They were Semitic. Before their arrival the land had been settled by two, probably
different, Semitic tribes. But the Sumerians brought with them a
superior culture, some of its basic elements already developed to their final
form, which they imposed upon the barbaric Semites.
The area shows a certain similarity with the flow of Greco-Roman
culture. In this simple complex a strange people came from afar
and set up bastions of their own culture in Tiryns and Achaeans
and Dorians who pored in from the north. Out of centuries of give-and-take
a true Hellenism evolved. Similary, Sumerian outlanders moved into
the delta of the Eupharates and Tigris, bringing
with them a mature culture, a system of writing, and a corpus of law.
They too, were eventually extripated by barbarians after the
passage of some cultures. Thereupon Bablyon grew up out of land
richly manured with dead and flourished where the kingdoms
of Sumer and Akkad once had stood.
King Ninus (Greek: tentatively Ramman-Nirari) of Assyria,
who builds a great city in honor of his name, and the city becomes
Nineveh (Roman: Ninus) the capital of the Assyrian empire.
He was a great warrior who subdued the greater parts of Asia,
becoming the first great king, and conqueror of the ancient
world of his time, and as Diodorus writes...there were none
other before him...that of which he knew of. If this be true
then some scholars would place him approximately about 2182 B.C.,
which would be in proximity to Nimrod of the Bible, ruler of
the land of Shinar as outlined in Gen.10:10-11.
We feel this date is off by at least 5000 years because of the
archeological discoveries at Nineveh.
The etymology
of Nimrod is quite uncertain and the Bible does not go into
further detail about him apart from these few lines written
in Genesis, except that he was the founder of Nineveh along
with a number of other well known ancient cities.
Babylon becomes, in history, the fountainhead of false
religion in the Post-Flood world. The city Babylon and Iraq figure
in Biblical prophecies connected with the end of the age.
"Mystery Babylon" is an even more theme in Bible prophecy.
Revelation 17-18 depicts God's final judgment of world religion
plus world commerce and trade since these man-made systems have
sprung from the source rebellion of Nimrod and Babel.
The ancient Babylonian cult of the mother and child spread
to other parts of the earth. You will find it in the Egyptian
religion as Isis and Osiris. In Greece it is Venus and Adonis,
and in the Hindu religion it is Ushas and Vishnu. The same
cult prevails in various other localities. It appears in the
Old Testament in Jeremiah where the Israelites are warned against
offering sacrifices to "the Queen of Heaven." This Queen of Heaven
is Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod, the original mother of the Mother
and Child cult. If you have been to ..
WORSHIP OF SEMIRAMIS
You saw all of God's Holy children. We think Nimrod had the same
idea, refering to Sophia and the true creation. The true God allowed
each country the opportunity to know him, by sending a 'son' born of a virgin.
Each time this similarity is rejected by the 'other' religions and called evil.
The goddess Ishtar figures into this scenario. Her temple was built at Nineveh.
more..Goddess Worship
The same idea has also crept into Christianity and
forms the basis for the Mariolatry that has prevailed in the
Roman Catholic Church, where the Mother and Child are worshiped
as joint redeemers. Alexander Hislop, an authoritative writer
in this field, has written a book called "The Two Babylons,"
which should be of great interest if you desire to pursue this
further. This idolatrous religion culminates at last in the
Bible in the book of Revelation. There, a "great harlot"
appears, whose name is "Mystery Babylon the Great," the
originator of all the harlotries and false religions of
earth. The essence of Babylonianism, as we understand
from Scripture, is the attempt to gain earthly honor
by means of religious authority. That is Babylonianism,
and it has pervaded Christian churches, Hindu temples,
Buddhist shrines, and Mohammedan mosques. Everywhere
it is the element that marks falseness in religion - the
attempt to gain earthly power and prestige by means of
religious authority. This undoubtedly lead to the false
religions which did prevail.
The 'mother - child' cult is not the problem. It's the
'organized structure' of religion, that is the problem.
Babel occurs in the Vulgate only in Gen., xi, 9; the form
Babylonia is found in Bar., i, 1, 4; ii, 22; vi, 1-3; I Mach.,
vi, 4; II Mach., viii, 20; everywhere else the Vulgate uses the
form Babylon. The word is derived from the Babylonian bab-ilu,
meaning "gate of God". Gen., xi, 9, suggests a different meaning
based on the derivation of the name from the Hebrew word batál,
to confound.
The buildings were pyramidal in form
and rose in several, usually seven, step-like sections. The
storied tower of Birs Nimrud counts seven of these quadrangular
platforms painted in seven colors, black, white, yellow, blue,
scarlet, silver, and gold, and in the same order sacred to the
stellar gods, Adar (Saturn), Ishtar (Venus), Merodach (Jupiter),
Nebo (Mercury), Nergal (Mars), Sin (the Moon), Shamash (the Sun)
.
It has been learned in the excavations at Nippur that the
pyramidal tower or ziggurrat did not constitute the whole of the
Babylonian Temple. This latter had an inner and an outer court,
both nearly square and nearly of the same dimensions; the tower
occupied about one-third of the area of the inner court, and
near to it stood the temple proper where the sacrifices were
offered. We may infer from the discoveries made in Nippur and
in Sippara that a library and a school will be found to have
been connected with the Babylonian temples. In the light of
these discoveries the story of the Tower of Babel (Gen., xi, 4)
assumes a new importance, whether we identify its remains with
the runes of Birs Nimrud or with those of the Bel temple at
Nippur, or again with those of Babil... from the Catholic Encyclopedia
We included this to reemphasize that 'building' and the knowledge
to accomplish this feat was not evil. Also it says 'pyramidal tower'
which is emphasized with a particular meaning over much of this site.
