After Noah's Flood: The World Of The Seeker
In the beginning, God's creation was "good." Man, He made in His own image, "very good." Then came the Fall. From that time on, man who once was "very good," with the potential of evolving into an even closer personal relationship to the Creator, had the first man and woman but chosen the Tree Of Life over the Tree Of Knowledge, began a continuous process of devolution. A devolution that affected all aspects of creation, including human language and man's ability to communicate.
Just as the earth, already suffering a slow death as a consequence of the fall, took a major turn for the worst because of the Flood; so too the human ability to communicate at the Tower of Babel. PJ Wisemen in his, ANCIENT RECORDS AND THE STRUCTURE OF GENESIS, brought the similarities between the structuring of the early chapters of the book of Genesis to that of the colophons of Babylonian tablets to the attention of the world. His discovery clearly indicates the existence of eyewitness accounts of the early parts of the Bible in some kind of visual form. But, in what kind of form would it have been? Perhaps, all known forms of language, past and present, are but shadowy pictures of the richness of mankind's original ability to communicate.
Tradition has it that the Biblical Nimrod and his wife Summar-amat (Semiramis, in Greek) where the founders of ancient Babylon, and of the ancient mystery religions. Could they have intentionally designed the original mystery religion of Babel, the origin of all apostate religions, making use of this breakdown of the human consciousness? Thinking themselves clever, they found out otherwise when "the LORD came down to see the city and the tower . . . and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. . . Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
