Sumeria

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat_of_Ur

There was a bigger one that was the source of the Tower of Babel myth, heighting at 91m. Faggot boylover Alexander destroyed it.

god destroyed the tower of babel iirc

Alexander is god confirmed

yeah and the big, bad wolf blew down the 3 little pigs house

0/10

According to the Book of Jasher, the tower was so big that it took 3 days travel to go around it.

The biggest structure ever built, and also the origin of Paganism (Semiramis/Baal/Tammuz) which would then spread all over the world when God confused the languages of the proto New World Order.

Nowadays Satan is trying to rebuild the Tower of Babel again, with the whole globalization thing.

An advanced group of people built some cool shit and it lasted until they were invaded, and humanity was once again set back.

the claimed book of Jasher is a fraud. you don't even get an excuse for believing this bullshit because it's not canon

Still a pretty cool story

The Ziggurat of Ur is comparatively new by the standards of Sumeria. Cultures started developing into civilization as early as 5,000 BC, and Sumerian civilization had already gone through a period of decline and rebirth by the time Ur rose to prominence. Hell, the Ziggurat's even younger than Sargon of Akkad.

They were the first civilization to build giant stone structures right?

l think you are thinking of the Ziggurat of Babylon

Not necessarily stone - the Sumerians did more with mud brick, especially early on before trade routes really developed. And it really depends what you consider civilization. Megalithic structures date back to the 9th millennium BC with things like Gobekli Tepe.

Nope. Ur Ziggurat in OP's pic dates to the Ur III period - around 2100 BC. Sargon was 2300BC, and the Uruk period - arguably the start of history - dates to 4000 BC.

>Nowadays Satan is trying to rebuild the Tower of Babel again, with the whole globalization thing.
he already did

No, let's keep this about ancient Sumer

>the start of history

How did they do it? So many firsts from Sumer

Shit, you guys are right.

Checkmate atheists.

>not canon

The canon is fucking arbitrary.

>Faggot boylover Alexander destroyed it.
it was in ruins already when he found it, he ordered it demolished so it could be rebuilt from scratch but when he died that plan got the old kibosh

>Divine intervention destroyed esperanto.

Lots of dehydration and starving to death since they only had one crop.

The EP building was directly inspired by the Babel myth, how retarded you conspiracinuts can get?

First off the Babel story has NOTHING to do with Satan.

An God literally had no reason to confuse the tongues, just read your fucking book, he did it for lulz.

Finally if you had a greater brain than an ant you'd realize the subtle idea the EP building conveys, that is the tower of babel STANDS despite many tongues, because people managed to overcome it.

In the Bible, god sent angels, allowing them to "confound their language". with everyone suddenly unable to understand eachother, further mass-work on the tower was impossible.

>Babel myth
you atheists are funny.

you call history "myth". what are you doing on this board if you hate history?

>God, up there, he doesn't have our best interests at heart. He doesn't put Man first. I am going to build a tower, and the Israelites are going to pay for it!

He confounded the language because they wanted to become God-like. In a way, the story is a society mirroring Satan.

cheap bait twat.

"Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

They literally just wanted to stay as one peopel and achieve something great. No mention of any satanic overtones you schizos want to interpret into it.

>a tower whose top is in the heaven
>not godlike

Pick one. They didn't build the tower because they wanted to do something useful with it. They literally built it just because of pride, the first sin. That sounds pretty satanic to me.

It is the ancient equivalent of rich people who wear expensive stuff, only because it is expensive.

kek

Zero reading comprehension, as usual.

God: Spread out over the world, be fruitful and multiply.

Man: Let's all gather here and make a name for ourselves, and let's build a tower whose top can enter heaven.

God: Nope. *baffles language* *people scatter all over the earth* Fixed.

>No mention of any satanic overtones you schizos want to interpret into it.

Literally a direct disobedience to a command from God.

Literally pressing men into bricks so that everyone is the same, when God made everyone unique.

Your lying days are done here dude.

Uniqueness is a myth.

This is a history board, not science fiction.
