Possible sites of Babel, according to Archeology of Old Cities, and Linguistic and Cultural Centers, coinciding with the Biblical Dates of Babel (between 2200-2000 B.C.)

Borsippa (Traditional site claimed by Jewish and Muslim Scholars.)

Harappan Civilization (Some scholars, including linguist I.J. Gelb, have suggested that the name Babil is an echo of an earlier city name. According to Ranajit Pal, this city was in the East.)

Eridu, Mesopotamia (Argued by British Egyptologist and historian, David Rohl)

''The Discovery of Genesis: how the secrets of Genesis were found hidden in the Chinese language," by C.H. Kang, and Ethel R. Nelson.

  • Sargon the Great was Nimrod's name as emperor of the Babylonian empire. Although Sumerian continued to be used by the pagan priests, and the different families had their own languages, Akkadian was the lingua franca of the empire of Nimrod. When Nimrod died, the people revolted and returned to speaking their own languages again. Ancient cities like Uruk were built with stone in preflood and brick in the post flood. The ark landed at the north end of the Euphrates, but the people went back So

    Well, how about this for intelligentsia, smart guy who can't tell reality from fantasy and doesn't even WANT to: University of Arizona, 3.91 GPA, Phi Beta Kappa (most prestigious academic honor society for undergrads in the U.S.), Summa Cum Laude, then later, in my 40s, I went directly into the Master's program for Chinese with no Chinese knowledge, then after five years, emerged with a 4.0 average. Yes, 4.0 out of 4. My estimation of where you teach remains the same.

  • @leisulin: As far as where I teach...if you are looking to enroll, it might be difficult. The entrance exam is pretty steep. You need an extremely strong grasp of math and sciences, language, social sciences, etc. It is Ivy League, Japan. So far from reading your comments, it seems to me you are not likely to pass the initial exam, nonetheless the second exam, nor the interview. I am sorry to burst your bubble. Our school is for intelligentsia, not cyber trolls.

  • @leisulin: Right, because unlike me, who asks a philosophical question, you claim to have answers where you don't.

    You are the danger to humanity.

  • @Breshi

    And wherever it is that they ACTUALLY ALLOW someone like that to TEACH STUDENTS is not a school I'd recommend to anyone. Someone should actually walk in before class each day and write that question on the blackboard as a direct quotation of the "teacher" teaching the class in question, or should tell your boss you feel that way. If I knew I had a teacher working for me who didn't give a shit about what was true or what was fantasy, I'd boot his sorry ass out the door.

  • @Breshi

    We're talking about a person who could actually say WITH A STRAIGHT FACE "what premise are you operating under that suggests to you that I am interested in the TRUTH?" and who is so divorced from reality that he can't see how idiotic and comical that makes him look. THAT more than anything should convince anyone reading what you write to give it exactly ZERO credence.

  • @BreshiBaraElohim

    Live in your dream world all day long, fool. I care not. I wasted way too much time already trying to talk sense to a brainwashed, programmed automaton who wouldn't recognize reality if it came up to him and bit him on the nose. Believe what you like: ancient Chinese designed their ideographs based on the genesis story, the moon is made of green cheese, an invisible sky daddy watches everything you do and gives a shit about it, the Earth is flat, etc. etc. Be my guest.

  • @leisulin: You are just trying to interpret it to be meaningless. Much like you guys try and interpret the complexities of DNA to be meaningless.

  • @leisulin: So far, again and again, YOU have been wrong. Just because you do not know what something means, does not mean it means nothing. 土 is dirt/dust/matter. This is undeniable. 丶as well is explained in the video.  Perhaps you can explain how "walk" became "create." And of course, if you could provide some EVIDENCE for even ONE of the things you have said, that would be nice, if it is not too much effort for you. So, far, the evidence has been proving you wrong, not Kang and Nelson.

  • @leisulin

    ....and in the final analysis, that's what's wrong with christians (and Muslims too): you DON'T care whether what you believe is true or not. You just want your cozy belief. I think Kang and Nelson knew they'd find a ready audience for the pap they're pandering, rubbing their exploitative hands together in glee. It's genuinely sickening watching how readily their lies about Chinese characters are gobbled up and swallowed whole without a care for whether any of it is true or not.
