What you read in the book you find in the ground! This is the Bible story of the origin of civilization after the global Noahic flood. Christian Archaeological Dating (CAD) requires that no archaeology predates the flood. Scripture dates creation to 5554 BC and the Flood to 3298 BC using the Septuagint. Eight Bible markers in Genesis 10-11 decode the date of the Tower of Babel to around 2850 BC. Archaeology informs us that the Tower of Babel was a Temple to Enki, the freshwater god and was similar in design to the Stepped Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt. In Sumerian flood stories, Enki was the rebel god who warned "Noah" to build the ark over the wishes of the supreme god Enlil who had decreed the destruction of mankind. Ancient Jewish, Christian and secular literary sources unanimous record that Nimrod built the Tower of Babel. Josephus tells us that Nimrod built the Tower of Babel to survive a possible second global flood. Archaeological excavations at Eridu (Babel) demonstrate how over 350 years, Nimrod built 17 pagan mudbrick temples, one upon the other, all dedicated to Enki, the "savior of mankind". In Sumerian myths, Enki also caused the division of languages at Babel (Gen 11). During this earliest period of post-flood civilization, "rebel" Nimrod plays a key and central role in almost every area. The identity of Nimrod is unknown, but he is best represented by the character of Enmerkar in Sumerian literary sources. Although excavations at biblical Babel (Tel Eridu) in the 1940's did not find any evidence of the Tower itself, evidence of the 300-meter square elevated platform upon which the Tower of Babel was going to be built has been documented. The city of Eridu (Babel) and the platform were abandoned for 750 years until the Assyrian King Ur-Nammu built a Ziggurat Temple to Enki upon it in 2100 BC. Abraham leaves Ur the very year that Ur-Nammu begins construction of the Ziggurat in 2100 BC. To the Christian Nimrod is antitypical of Satan, Absalom and Judas as the epitome of rebellion, treason and betrayal against the One True God. The Tower of Babel represents false world religions and false Christian doctrines.

The biblical text and its key figures have played a prominent role in the development of religious discourse on pressing socio-political issues. Slavery and continued discrimination were given theological sanction through the Old Testament story of Ham, but what of his descendent Nimrod the hunter?

Tired of leading a shepherd’s life, Nimrod yearns to leave the small lives and tents of his village to seek out the excitement and glory found in the big city beyond—Babel. Although cautioned by the love of his life, Semiramis, that she will only wait so long for him to return, Nimrod proceeds to go on a journey with his four best friends—Jared, Zag, Fenchristo, and Raya—all of whom have honed their fighting skills to great heights with the bow, arrow, and sword. Nimrod: The Mighty Hunter chronicles the journey of the biblical character of Nimrod—the rebellious king often associated with the Tower of Babel. From the quiet, serene surrounds of his village to the danger and fighting of the city, read as Nimrod trains up the Babylonian army to protect Babel and discover how this so-called “gang of five” embark on an energetic race for supremacy. Training an ever-increasing army to destroy surrounding towns, Nimrod and Semiramis become engrossed in their newfound powers. A cautionary tale of Noah’s great-grandson comes alive from the pages of the Bible in this captivating retelling of Nimrod’s rise to power. Experience how unbridled passions—even with the purest intent—can lead some men and women straight to hell. Some, but not all.

The year is 596 B.C. Kingdoms and empires rise and fall, carrying men along with the inexorable insistence of a vast desert storm. Kasher, a young Mesopotamian man, determines to become a part of the empire of the great Nebuchadnezzar II, only to find himself on the battlefield not only of men, but of the gods. What do the great symbols of Babylon - lions, dragons, gods and demi-gods - really mean: or are they merely for show? His journey is one of mysticism, treachery and love. The world in which he moves is filled with symbolism, rivalry and beauty. His true quest, however, reaches much deeper - into his own soul.

This interdisciplinary volume of original and provocative essays mixes international relations with philosophy, psychoanalysis, mythology and the arts to develop an experimental framework with which to reflect on world politics.
