The Tower of Babel
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick instead of stone and slime instead of mortar.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of the man built.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people are one, and they all have one language; and they begin to do this, and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do.
7 Now, let us go down and there confound their language that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel because there the LORD confounded the language of all the earth, and from there the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Has Noah's Ark Been 'Found'?
Researchers may have found the final resting place of Noah's Ark, with the Biblical boat mound now researched by experts taking a series of samples to prove whether the boat was left there.
Noah's Ark may have been found after experts uncovered a 5,000-year-old mound of a boat-shaped object.
New images from scientists working hard and wondering whether they found the Biblical vehicle show a massive mountain with space for a boat-like object in Turkey.
A team excavating geological locations in the country believe rock and soil samples could show they contain remnants of a vessel which took two of every animal during a flood of the world.
Archaeologists concluded the site was around the area the Bible references from almost 5,000 years ago, with the mound mentioned in the Book of Genesis. Ararat, now eastern Turkey, is believed to be the resting spot of the Ark.
Ongoing since 2021, the project is still determining samples of clayey and marine materials, as well as seafood found nearby. The highest peak in Turkey, standing at 16,500ft, could be the resting spot of the Ark's ruins.
According to researchers, human activity was present on the boat-shaped mound between 5500 and 3000 BC, The Sun reported. The formation is now believed to be the site of the Biblical boat, which researchers have so far collected 30 potential samples of.
AICU Vice Rector Professor Faruk Kaya said: "According to the first findings obtained from the studies, there have been human activities in the region since the Chalcolithic period between the years 5500 and 3000 BC.
"It is known that the flood of Prophet Noah went back 5,000 years ago. In terms of dating, it is stated that there was life in this region as well. This was revealed in the laboratory results.
It is not possible to say that the ship is here with the dating. We need to work for a long time to reveal this." Though considered a historical event, most archaeologists and scholars do not believe the literal interpretation of the Noah's Ark story.
The Biblical story, which sees God demand Noah to construct an Ark to survive a future mass flood as he was the only righteous man worth saving on the planet, is not currently believed by scholars. They do believe, however, the mound could be where the Ark was left.

"Always be Lilith, never Eve"
I mean, not knocking Lilith as such, at least not the Lilith of apocrypha, but Eve did eat the apple first, and she did it willingly.

"You are my genesis, you are my revelation.. you are the beauty that rests between my pages. You are a tome of knowledge, secrets that can't be kept.. written and inked in blood, my blood mixed with mud on the papyrus where I wept. You are the universe, I am just a man.. flesh and blood, a waterfall of heartbeats falling like sand. You are the beginning, you are the end.. and you will forever be my bestest friend."
It's almost biblical the way you touch my heart - eUë
