## **2467 BC - TOWER OF BABILI BEGUN** - MAIN EVENTS

### 2486-2483 BC - Phaleg marries Lomna; birth of Ragu

In 2486 BC, Phaleg Heber at the age of only 10 married Lomna, daughter of Shinar - whether the place or a person named Shinar is uncertain; by some accounts Samothes Rodis, who would become a tower foreman, had a wife named Shina.

In 2483 BC, when the plain of Shinar was first being settled, though not by the tribe of Aram whose inheritance it was, Phaleg and Lomna begat a son named Ragu.

### 2480 BC - Noh leaves `Ararat for Tanais

During the years 2480-2474 BC, *Kufale* tells us, the evil spirits, whom the Lord has allowed to linger after the deluge until Judgement Day, began to lead the peoples astray from monotheism and toward paganism, idolatry and bloodshed. One of the first idols was said by Michael Syrus to be a statue of Qainan regarded as a deity.

*Kufale* then mentions Noh's passing in 2405 BC (1659 AA) out of sequence at this juncture, as does the Clementine tradition involving Melketsedek's journey to `Ararat. We may surmise that it was approximately at this time, c. 2480 BC, that Noh moved to the Tanais region and departed Debre Lubar `Ararat, leaving it to his daughter `Araksa.

Some accounts mention Malikh Qainan as ruling at some point in 'Canaan'. *Defloratio* also has a cryptic statement roughly in the time before the tower that "*Cana was governor of the country from Damascus to the extremity of Palestine.*". If this refers to a time before the post-tower dispersion, i.e. before Kene'an Khemeti and his tribe squatted in that land (by 2417 BC), then this Cana would not mean him, but rather Qainan `Arpagsad, father of Malikh, who probably had a foothold in the region already by 2467 BC, having left Kharran in the hands of the tribe of Aram, considering the date calculated for the birth of Melketsedek to Malikh, 2466 BC. Reminiscent of Qainan being said in *Kufale* to have discovered antediluvian writings 200 years earlier, Couillard asserts that Yapheth had found the 'columns of Seth' in Phoenicia by around this time, as he would return to found cities along the Mediterranean coast in 2441 BC.

### 2467 BC - Tower of Babili begun

In 2467 BC, largely scorning the instructions of PapaMelek Noh and the agreed Partition, the peoples began work in Shenar on the massive tower of Babili, under the command of three chief foremen: Samothes Rodis for Yapheti, Yoktan-'Ister Heber (Joktan) for Shemites, and Nemrot Kashron (Nimrod) for Khemeti (Hamites). All peoples, numbering a little over 700,000, who then dwelt from there to the far north, were required to supply precious stones as tribute, and those near the Persian Gulf had to bake bricks with asphalt.

### 2467 BC - Founding of 'Aboa

About the same year that the tower was begun at Babili, the tribe of Magiorgh Yapheti (Magog) seem to have migrated northward and settled around the Gulf of Bothnia, founding a seat at 'Aboa, now Turku. (*Magnus, Juslenius*) This was near their allotted region, in fact just past it. The colony likely established a supply route of yellow amber for Shenar, along the Tina (Don) waterway.

Hungarian accounts also refer to this time as when Magor (Magog) and his brother Hunor (Gomer) spent 5 years hunting the white stag beside the Sea of Azov, then the 6th year they seized wives from the daughters of Dur or Dula, prince of the Alans, and moved to 'Scythia'. The Alans have also been connected with Aram, and this Dur or Dula could be an epithet of Aram son of Shem himself. This would put Gomer and Magog around the mouth of the Tina or Don from c. 2472 BC, before they struck for their actual allotted inheritances according to the 2494 BC Partition.
