may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all
the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did
there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face
of all the earth."
The Tower of Babel was built by Nimrod and intended to reach to heaven. Nimrod, king of Babylon, wished
for greater power and decided to war on God. His tower of bricks in Shinar was built by six-hundred-thousand
men and was so tall that it took a year to reach the top. From it some men shot arrows at the sky, and they
came back bloodied. When the tower was not quite finished, God sent seventy angels to confuse the tongues
of the workmen. One did not understand the next; they fought, some were transformed into apes and demons,
and the survivors were scattered as the seventy nations on the face of the earth. One third of the tower sank
into the earth, one third was burned, one third remained. Whoever passes the place where the tower stood
loses his memory completely. Tradition names the tower of Birs-Nimrud at Borsippa as the original. The story
may have been inspired in the nomadic people by the ziggurats and the swarming cosmopolitan life of the
large Babylonian cities. Somewhat similar legends accounting for the diversity of languages are found in
Africa, eastern Asia, and Mexico.
Ancient manuscripts tell us that at one time man on Earth lived in a Golden Age and "spoke with angels."
This simply means that in Atlantis and Lemuria and before, Earth people were in constant contact with beings
from outer space or "angels." Through evil and greed and lust, the Golden Age passed from the Earth and with
it went the ability to speak the Solex-Mal. We will again speak this "language of angels," in the New Age now
dawning.
Already we can see the evidence mounting that man needs a common, universal language. The new language
of science is "Interlingua". A grammar and a dictionary of Interlingua has been published. This publication
climaxed twenty-five years of work by expert linguists who developed the new language. It comes from some
of the languages of the western world and in its written form more closely resembles Spanish than any other,
although it also has French, Italian and English words. It has a twenty-seven thousand word vocabulary,
including seventeen thousand scientific and technical terms which already have wide international usage. The
grammar is simpler than that of any of the national languages and can be learned in a short time.
The following is written in Interlingua: "Energia es necessari pro toto que occure in le mundo. In temporas
passate le plus grande parge del energia applicate esseva fornite per le fortia muscular del homies e del
animales domestic." The English translation of the above is: "Energy is necessary for all that occurs in the
world. In past times the greatest part of the applied energy was furnished by the muscular strength of men and
domestic animals."
Interlingua is now a scientific language, but it could become a means of international communication in other
fields. For the greatest possible progress in science it is essential that research workers know the results of
work along similar lines by investigators in other countries. There should be a continual exchange of ideas and
results. Wouldn't it be wonderful if any person could travel through the world and converse understandably
with any literate person in any nation?
The new world interlanguage is Esperanto. It is steadily growing in practical use in every civilized land. The
pronunciation is simple, there are no irregular verbs, and there are no exceptions to the few grammatical rules.
It is so constructed that a vocabulary is quickly acquired. Esperanto short-wave broadcasts average
one-hundred fifty-five a month and it is taught in five-hundred and fifty schools and colleges, some in the
United States. It is being increasingly used by business, and particularly by travel organizations to solve
language barriers.
The following is written in Esperanto, see how easy it really is: "Inteligenta persono lernas la interlingvon
Esperanto rapide kaj facile. Esperonto estas la moderna, kultura lingvo por la internacia monda. Simpla,
