MYTHOLOGY



There is little about Nimrod in the Bible, but enough to make a clear connection to the first ruler of ancient Babylon.

In Genesis 10:8-12 we are told that Nimrod is the son of Noah's grandson Cush and that he was the founder of four cities in Mesopotamia, the first of which was Babel. His father Cush is credited with draining the swampy Nile delta, thereby creating the rich agricultural society of lower Egypt.

The list below is a compilation of names found in "The Two Babylons", by Alexander Hislop. His research includes virtually all the Sumerian to Celtic historians. The list is not pressented as being comprehensive. In some cases the same name crosses over to embrace two individuals, such as Nimrod and his son Tammuz.

All these "personalities" originate in ancient Babylon, with Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. The names change from culture to culture, but the attributes of the successive gods are the same. Same birth, same end.
