![]() ![]() Zygotes grow into babies, and at some point in our collective history, the entire species must have consisted of individuals that were adult versions of genetic babies. And that means that when the human genetic program began to run, it must have produced single cellular humans. Every human individual started his life as a single cellular organism (called zygote), which means that human DNA contains instructions on how to be one. Here at Abarim Publications we are hardly half as smart as Hancock and Bryson combined but to us it seems overly obvious that DNA indeed runs a kind of temporal program. No one has come up with a remotely plausible explanation of how a language spoken only in a remote corner of the Pyrenees could have come to influence Indian languages of the New World, but the links between many cognates are too numerous to explain in terms of simple coincidence". It was as if people carried around in their heads a genetic alarm clock that suddenly went off all around the world. In his even more delightful book The Mother Tongue, Bill Bryson states, "One of the greatest mysteries of prehistory is how people in widely separated places suddenly and spontaneously developed the capacity for language at roughly the same time. In his delightful (and here at Abarim Publications predominantly disagreed with) book Supernatural, Graham Hancock wonders: "Why does the 97 per cent of DNA that scientists do not understand - so-called "junk DNA" - contain chemical "sequences" arranged in patterns and frequencies that are otherwise only found in the deep coding of all human languages?" Here at Abarim Publications, we are pretty sure that no alien being coded a human-language message in into our junk-DNA, but that the mechanism works the other way around: Human language is essentially an expression of human DNA, and therefore works the same way. Here at Abarim Publications we are pretty sure that the Bible is a written continuation of what the ancients began to express in stone. ![]() It's not the heavens these peoples primarily reflected but DNA. These ancient buildings have a high degree of similarity for the same reason that ant hills and bee hives all over the world are highly similar. Contra to Hancock's hypothesis, we like to believe that these buildings were created by not-connected peoples, who worked independently from their heart of hearts. Here at Abarim Publications we thoroughly enjoy the works of Graham Hancock, as he quests for his hypothesized Lost Civilization, which existed before all others and which left legacies in buildings all over the world. ![]() A dog from Australia will get along famously with a dog from New York, but a beer drinking rough neck from Arkansas may have terrible trouble relating to his fashion designing neighbor. Perhaps in those days all humans related to each other the way, say, all dogs relate to each other today. These events take place right after the flood and human culture was still pretty much tabula rasa. What that precisely means isn't known for sure, but it appears to relate to what was on people's minds (= what they talked about) rather than in which language they were saying it. The author of our story indicates, as no superfluous detail, that apart from the various local languages that were already spoken around the world (see Genesis 10:5, 10:20, 10:31) there was a common tongue and the usage of the same words (Genesis 11:1). And see for the word for brick, לבנה ( lebenah those things from which the tower was built) our article on the name Laban. See for a look at the word for tower, מגדל ( migdal) our articles on the names Migdal-el and Magdalene. Some scholars have proposed that the Tower of Babel was based on Babylon's ubiquitous ziggurats, but the story obviously goes beyond any earthly building. The only other time Babel appears in the Book of Genesis is in the famous story of the Tower of Babel, which again takes place in Shinar (Genesis 11:1-9). ![]()
