passage of the Bibles Book of Genesis which
relates that the men Of the land Of Shinar'
planned 10 build a tower that would reach
unto Heaven" This was the Tower Of Babel,
and the men of Sumer or Shnar were the ones
who could have built one higher than could
anyone else. The Hottest Sumeran tower was
at Nppur on hilltop to the air god EMIL
The idea was not TO crash into Heaven, the
restricted residence of the gods, but to make
the trip down as short as possible for EMIL
1t was about this time that the Semitic
tribes Of the plains had developed a fierce
military organization which was able to con.
quer and enslave the non-Semitic Sumerians
Around that same time 1000 B. c.. the patri-
arch Abraham set forth from the Sumerian
