This stone carving (above) was found in Iraq [1988] near the ancient city of Babylon (Bagdad) [the ancient city of<br />

Babylon, located 85 kilometers (53 miles) south of Baghdad - wiki.com]. Historians falsely interpret this illustration<br />

so I invite you to look at it carefully. There are clearly two suns in the sky and everyone is looking up at them. The<br />

tallest figure (wearing the horns of the bull... Nimrod's old crown) appears to be a giant. Giants in the Bible were<br />

roughly 18 feet tall. The dome-shaped object is too perfect to be a mountain peak. Instead, imagine that it's the<br />

"top" of the Tower of Babel.<br />

Treasure of Nimrud [Nimrod] Is Found (1988) In Iraq, and It's<br />

Spectacular (Article Updated: June 6, 2003)<br />

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The treasure of Nimrud survived 2,800 years buried near a dusty town in northern Iraq. It then<br />

spent 12 years tucked away in a vault. Until Thursday, it was uncertain whether it had survived Saddam Hussein's<br />

son, a U.S. missile strike, looters, a flood and a grenade attack. But it has been found intact in the dark, damp<br />

basement of a bombed out central bank building. Thursday, directors of Iraq's National Museum and a team of U.S.<br />

Customs agents and officials from the Office of the Coalition Provisional Authority -- the Pentagon-run agency<br />

managing postwar Iraq -- cracked open five waterlogged wooden crates, peered inside and breathed a collective<br />

sigh of relief. There, in dozens of smaller boxes was the entire collection -- 613 pieces of gold jewelry, precious<br />

stones and ornaments from the height of the Assyrian civilization in 800 B.C. Together, the pieces weigh well over<br />

100 pounds. The recovery of the artifacts, which hasn't been made public, is a great boost for the museum, which<br />

gained the world's attention in the days after the war when U.S. forces failed to prevent looters from hauling away<br />

thousands of artifacts from ancient civilizations that sprang up in the Tigris-Euphrates valley. Experts said it was the<br />

worst ransacking of Iraq since Genghis Khan tore into Baghdad in the 13th century. While initial reports talked of<br />

some 170,000 pieces stolen, it is now clear that perhaps only a few thousand artifacts were taken, experts say. Many<br />

priceless objects from the museum are still missing, such as the sacred Vase of Warka, a Sumerian piece from about<br />

3000 B.C. But museum officials moved hundreds of the most valuable items into storage rooms and secret locations<br />

only weeks before the war, including some 40,000 ancient books, Islamic manuscripts and scrolls spirited away in a<br />

bomb shelter. More than a thousand other pieces have been recovered by U.S. officials. -- Unearthed in 1988 by<br />

Iraqi archaeologists and never seen outside Iraq, the Nimrud treasure had been on public display at Baghdad's<br />

National Museum for just a few months before Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. Days after the invasion,<br />

the treasure was yanked from public view. Its whereabouts remained secret. -- One man who long wondered about<br />

the treasure was Jason Williams, a British anthropologist and filmmaker, who had tried in vain to film the Nimrud<br />
