The Capital of the Assyrian
King, (Sargon/Nimrod), had at it's center a magnificent royal
palace,
(whose walls were lined with sculptured Bas-Reliefs), which if placed
end-to-end,
would stretch for over a mile. Commanding the city, and
the Royal Compound, was a
step pyramid called a "Ziggurat", (it served as
a "stairway to Heaven" for the Gods).
This was ancient Babylon.
The lay out of the city, and the sculptures depicted a way of
life on a
grand scale. The palaces, temples, houses, stables, warehouses,
walls, gates,
columns, decorations, statues, artworks, musical instruments, towers, ramparts,
terraces, gardens... all were completed in
just 5 years!

The imagination reels before the potential strength of an empire
which could accomplish so much, in such a short
space of time, some
3,000 years ago.
Nimrod is the founder of all the kingdoms of Mesopotamia.
|
In antiquity, the great city
of the gods....profited from its carefully selected location,
extending across the main overland trade route, connecting the
Persian Gulf and
the Mediterranean.
|
This was a sacred site, located on
immense "ley lines",
or "dragon currents".
Using "Geomancy", to lay out
the terrain, an incredible Assyrian/Sumerian dynasty was created, a Mountain Oasis, situated
in the dry desert.

The common language that
formed the cultural and historical and religious bond between
Assyria and
Babylonia was Akkadian. (It was the first known Semitic language,
akin
to pre-dating Hebrew, Aramaic, Phoenician, and Canaanite).
But the Assyrians & the
Babylonians did not invent the language or its script, many of
their
tablets bore the postscript, that they had been copied from earlier
originals.

Who then, invented the
cuneiform script and developed the language, its precise grammar
and rich
vocabulary? Who wrote the earlier originals?
The ruins of Mesopotamia have
provided conclusive evidence that there was indeed a
kingdom by the name
of Akkad, established by a much earlier ruler, who called himself
a
"Sharrukin" (Righteous Ruler).
He claimed in his
inscriptions, that his empire stretched, by the grace of his God "Enlil",
from the lower Sea, (the Persian Gulf), to the upper Sea, (believed to be
the Mediterranean).
He boasted that he made Moor
Ships from many distant lands, at the wharf of Akkad. The
mystery of
such an early Mesopotamian civilization deepened, as inscriptions
recording the achievements and genealogy of Sargon of Akkad were found. (King
Sargon was also known as
Nimrod).

|
And before the Akkadian
language... was the ancient Sumerian language... called "Shumer" and
"Shinar",
in biblical history.
The Sumerians were the direct
descendants of the "Gods of
the Heavens", who came to Earth,
the Anunnaki.
