Section 3: The Tower of Babel
p1: From Wikipedia page: Dilmun: “Dilmun, or Telmun, was an ancient Semitic-speaking country mentioned throughout the history of Mesopotamia from the 3rd millennium BC onwards. It is regarded as one of the oldest civilizations in the Middle East. Based on textual evidence, it is located in the Persian Gulf on a trade route between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley Civilisation, close to the sea and to artesian springs.
“Dilmun was an important trading centre. . . . According to some modern theories, the Sumerians regarded Dilmun as a sacred place, but that is never stated in any known ancient text. . . .
“The scholarly consensus is that Dilmun encompassed Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the coastal regions of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. This area is certainly what is meant by references to “Dilmun” among the lands conquered by King Sargon of Akkad and his descendants.
“It is often falsely stated that the Sumerians described Dilmun as a garden paradise in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Sumerian tale of the garden paradise of Dilmun may have been an inspiration for the Garden of Eden story. However, that is entirely modern speculation since the home of Utnapishtim is never indicated as Dilmun, and the name appears in no Gilgamesh literature.”
From Wikipedia page: Epic of Gilgamesh: “Garden of Eden: The parallels between the stories of Enkidu/Shamhat and Adam/Eve have been long recognized by scholars. In both, a man is created from the soil by a god, and lives in a natural setting amongst the animals. He is introduced to a woman who tempts him. In both stories the man accepts food from the woman, covers his nakedness, and must leave his former realm, unable to return. The presence of a snake that steals a plant of immortality from the hero later in the epic is another point of similarity.”
From a Dec. 10, 2010 Seeker article: “The waters of the Persian Gulf may cover one of humanity’s oldest and largest footholds outside Africa — according to archaeologist Jeffery Rose in this month’s issue of Current Anthropology. . . . Oral traditions can carry information about past changes in geography. For example, Rose quotes a Portuguese explorer, Pedro Teixeira, who traveled to the island Bahrain in 1603. Bahrain would have been part of the Gulf Oasis before the creation of the Persian Gulf. “Certain of the oldest Moors of the isle, with whom I spoke of this, told me that these springs were once far inland; but the sea broke in and overflowed them, as we see at this day,” wrote Teixeira. Rose is aware of the similarities between mythology and archaeology regarding the Gulf Oasis. But he tried to steer clear of mythology in his article and look solely at the science

See 2017 article on archaeological find in Abu Dhabi: “EXCAVATIONS by . . . archeologists have revealed stunning evidence for a 4,000-year-old trading post on Sir Bani Yas island off Abu Dhabi’s coast. . . . Inside the building a number of fragmentary large jars were found.
“These jars were made in Bahrain around 4,000 years ago and belong to a time when the UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, and south Asia were engaged in intensive maritime trade with the jars transported through the Arabian Gulf by ships. . . .
“Analysis of the artefacts is just beginning, but preliminary results indicate that pottery from Indus Valley civilization (present-day Pakistan) was also found. Bronze tools are also present, attesting to the important role that the UAE played in the export of copper to its Bronze Age neighbors. Along with the bronze tools is a well-preserved fish hook.
“One of the most remarkable finds was a stamp seal, probably made from steatite. This is an example of a famous ‘Dilmun Stamp Seal’. Dilmun was the ancient name for Bahrain and adjoining regions, and merchants used these stamps to authorize shipments of goods around the Arabian Gulf. A few examples have been found before in the UAE, but this is the first Dilmun stamp seal to be discovered from the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi.”
Section 4: Nodite Centers of Civilization
p6: From Wikipedia page: Tishrin Dam, Rescue Excavations: The Tishrin Dam Reservoir has flooded an area in which numerous archaeological sites were located. To preserve or document as much information from these sites as possible, archaeological excavations were carried out at 15 of them during construction of the dam. Among the oldest excavated and now flooded sites is Jerf el-Ahmar, where a French mission worked between 1995 and 1999. Their work revealed that the site had been occupied between 9200 and 8700 BC at the end of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A period and the beginning of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B. In its multiple occupation phases, the site contained a sequence of round and rectangular buildings. In the later occupation levels of the site, a number of buildings have been excavated that were partly dug into the soil and had stone walls. Their size, internal division, decoration and the finds of human skulls as foundation deposits led the excavators to suggest that these buildings had a communal function. These finds were deemed so important that in 1999, flooding of the Tishrin Dam Reservoir was postponed for two weeks so that three houses could be dismantled and rebuilt in a museum near the site.

p12: In Genesis 6:4-7 are suggestions that the rebellion and default were responsible for the Great Flood and the story of Noah.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

A Case Study in “Get a Clue; Then Follow It!” is the real and true story behind how the UBtheNEWS project got started. It is an autobiographical account of the peculiar life experiences that inspired Halbert Katzen to start the UBtheNEWS project, which, eventually, led to the UBannotated:UBanimated project.

p10: 2009 article on the oldest fiber being discovered in the Republic of Georgia. Adamson’s civilization was located very close to Ashgabat/Anau, but on the Iranian side of the border where the Aratta civilization developed (see images below).
Kopet-Dag: From a 2006 Discovoer Magazine article, “Why the Oxus culture vanished may never be known. But researchers think they have pinned down the origin of these mysterious people. The answers are turning up in traces of mound settlements bordering the rugged Kopet-Dag mountains to the south, which rise up to form the vast Iranian plateau. The most prominent settlement there lies a grueling 225-mile drive from Gonur. At this site, called Anau, three ancient mounds poke up from the plains. Volunteer Lisa Pumpelli is working there in a trench at the top of a large mound with a spectacular view of the Kopet-Dag mountains.”

p6: And they brought to Him all sorts of sick peoples…: Neither ‘people’ nor ‘peoples’ appear here in the original Greek of this Matthew passage; a more common rendering being “And they brought to him all the sick…” However, if one form or another of ‘people’ is to be used to place the Matthew passage in this context, ‘peoples,’ which indicates not multiple individuals but multiple large groups of people — whether tribal, national, or other, does not fit the grammar of the sentence and is clearly not intended here. A mistaken additional keystroke would account for the problem; ‘peoples’ should be changed to ‘people.’

p10: rebellion-tested appears twice. Note that these two appearances involve the highest and lowest levels of our super-mortal government to be affected by the rebellion.
(45:2.3) The present head of Satania is a gracious and brilliant ruler, and he is a rebellion-tested sovereign.
