Unearthing the Secrets of the Tower of Babel
Manage episode 384684858 series 3407963
Ever wondered why we have a multitude of languages across the globe? As we unmask the captivating saga of the Tower of Babel, a biblical myth that attempts to decipher the birth of the world's languages, we promise you'll be left with plenty to ponder over. We explore the depths of an ancient Mesopotamian language that might have been spoken before the Tower of Babel and share a fascinating bird watching story that underscores the importance of improvising the right tactics to get what we desire.
Imagine living in an era between 2700 BC and 3400 BC, witnessing the formidable Tower of Babel being erected. The man behind this marvel - Nimrod, possibly inspired by the god Yahweh. Relish in the comparisons we draw between this historic structure and Italy's Colosseum, and the intriguing parallels with the mysterious ruins of Etimunanke near Baghdad, Iraq. We also venture into the concept of ziggurats - ancient structures that may have had a hand in shaping the Tower of Babel narrative.
As we weave through the story of Tower of Babel, we stumble upon its intersections with various faiths, including the unique tenets of Mormonism. We unpack the Bible's description of giants and the Nephilim, and grapple with the portrayal of an 'Old Testament God'. So, brace yourselves for an episode that promises to challenge your perspectives on faith, mythology, and history in a conversation that's both engaging and eye-opening!
