Across the ages of the world's history "Deep calleth unto Deep"--TShom to Tehom (Ps. xlii. 7)--ere it disappears and sinks for ever into the eternal calm. 8. The Watery Hades--Tartaros.--Akin to Tiamat, the watery waste, in the Babylonian mythology was Ea, "the Spirit of the Deep,"1 who eventually came to be identified with another divinity, of similar attributes, Mul-lilr the mighty lord of the ghost-world or Hades.2 Ea, the encircling oceanstream, "the water under the earth," was easily confused with the underworld beyond and beneath, to which it was believed to form the entrance.

After Noah's Flood, a curtain hangs over four centuries of history, which witnessed a monumental struggle between Noah, Shem and those loyal to God and the rebels led by Nimrod, Cush, Semiramis and Asshur to control the direction in which the world would go. The rebels created a counterfeit religion, sought to create a world-ruling empire and enforce their political system and religion on the world. Only a century after the Flood, they constructed a massive waterproof Tower at Babel, in case, they said 'God should have a mind to drown the world again.'
