The more they dig the more they verify the biblical narrative. The bible is true ladies & gentlemen. Today is the day of salvation, do not miss out!

So, Babylonians built ziggurats. That's not news.
To make the leap of inference that one depicted on a tablet is the tower of babel from the bible is pure nonsense.

I find it interesting that God foiled the Tower of Babel, not by knocking it down, but by scrambling people's brains so they couldn't communicate anymore like they used to do.

The tablet says it is the ziggurat, or tower, of Babylon or Babel. Bab means door or gate, and el is god. If you watch as many documentaries on archaeology as I do, you would know that many of the sites mentioned in the Bible have been proven to be real places. That doesn't mean the exact events mentioned in the Bible happened in those places, but it does give some credence to some of the stories, in my opinion. Edit: on a side note, why do American documentary makers think it's necessary for the narrator to talk in a breathless way, to make it seem more 'exciting'? If I wanted excitement, it wouldn't be in a documentary. Just state the facts in a normal way, for goodness sake. |

However, on your side note I am puzzled. The narrator here clearly does not have an American accent so I am guessing that this is not an American documentary. I do not know its origins, but the narrator's accent sounds to me as if he is from Scotland. Perhaps his accent makes him sound "breathless" to you? To me it just sounds rather like a standard way for a Scot to speak. When I lived in Scotland my fellow Americans were sometimes criticized for speaking too slowly, especially Texans who spoke with a drawl. On the other hand we had to struggle a bit to make out what some Scots were saying as they spoke more quickly than we were accustomed to hearing. |

I don’t think she’s talking about the host of the video who is Scottish. She’s obviously referring to the speaker during the ziggurat unveiling. You know the actual narrator of the documentary. |

I'm talking about the narrator of the video about the ziggurat, not the person that introduces it. The expert is Prof. George. Have you read his academic paper on that tablet? I have. You see, what we have here is what we in archaeology call a media tart. He is being paid to say what the programme's producers want to hear... If you actually read his serious academic paper, you'll get a serious peer reviewed study that bears no resemblance to what he says there 🤦 |

republican right wing radio
gosh mr. wizard
republican christ-oriented
psychopaths
have been crying for so long now
that
even when they achieve
a certain level
of
god ordained power
sent directly from the throne
of
the most high hebrew god
all they can think
to do
is set their
imitation chinese made nike's
on fire.
just imagine what they could do
if
their president
wasn't
such the bold-faced liar.
sjw 09/04/18 inspired at this very moment in time by what's being called a senate inquiry into nominating a supreme court justice.
from the 'bizarro series' of poems
