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. So much for 'free will', eh? Taking away the means doesn't take away the will. How many times must this be explained to you, before it finally sinks in? |

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 🤦 LOL Citation needed. |

As I mentioned, I watch a lot of documentaries, on different subjects, but one thing I've noticed, when it comes to nature documentaries, is that if it's an American documentary, the narrator tries to spice things up by speaking in the same breathless kind of way I noticed in the post video. I feel it distracts from what is actually going on in the video. |

Yeah, I guess god 'sending them strong delusion that they should believe a lie' 2 Thessalonians 2:11 wasn't interfering with their will either. "They were just 'deluded', they still had their will, silly heretic!" That's some batshit circular reasoning right there. |

'We in archaeology'? Are you an archaeologist? Yes. What is your field? |

The only field he has any knowledge in is the one he parks his caravan in. |

Theoretical Archaeology - the analysis and interpretation/misinterpretation of archaeological evidence... Also evolutionary biology. Minor fields of expertise are the prehistory of Europe, the archaeology of Africa, Egypt, and the Levant; and maritime archaeology. Have worked on projects with Universities of Bristol, Greenwich, UCL, SOAS, and the UK Department for Environment, protecting archaeological heritage in agricultural situations. |

Sounds very interesting. I think it must be very hard for farmers, or land owners, if something of national importance is found on their land. Are they helpful in wanting to preserve such sites? Are they reimbursed for any hardship that might entail? I think in another life I would have been a field archaeologist. Of course I would have discovered a Tutankhamun type burial, or maybe another Gobekli Tepi  . There are so many sites around the world I would love to visit: Ur, Babylon, Persepolis,Troy, Mycenae, Knossos. I have visited the pyramids (twice), so that's off my bucket list, but I wouldn't mind going again. |

It's pretty easy, and dull, dealing with farmers as an archaeological consultant for the government... You check their land parcels against the sites and monuments records, check aerial photographs, do a site visit if needed... Then write them a letter along the lines of "Hey youse, you have a part of our shared historic environment on your farm. Here's how you protect it. Do that and we're all good. Damage it, and I'll get your subsidies stopped. All the best... |

So much for 'free will', eh? Taking away the means doesn't take away the will. How many times must this be explained to you, before it finally sinks in? If that is so then how is "free will" an answer to "why doesn't god prevent sin"? god could prevent murder by taking away the means to murder, right? No free will violation there. So does your god just like murder, or what? |
