Genesis Chapter 11 and the Tower of Babel
The discussion begins with Genesis 11, where the earth had one language, and the people gathered in the plains of Shinar under Nimrod’s leadership. They intended to build a tower that would reach heaven. Originally, the speaker speculated that the Tower of Babel could have been a Stargate, imagining it as a structure that would allow access to heaven. However, this was dismissed as an idea influenced by preconceived notions. The biblical text does not explicitly mention a Stargate.
God’s Response to the Tower
God observed the people’s intentions and saw that nothing they imagined would be beyond their reach. The speaker interprets this as the people’s desire to challenge God directly, although it is acknowledged that it is impossible to kill God. God’s response to this endeavor was to confound their language, causing confusion and dispersion.
Tower’s Height and Construction
The Book of Jubilees provides details on the Tower’s dimensions, stating it took 43 years to build, with a base of 203 bricks, and a total height of 5,433 cubits (approximately 2,477 meters (8127 feet)). Additionally, Alfred Edersheim, in “Bible History, Old Testament,” estimates that the city of Babel covered an area between 100 and 200 square miles. The tower’s construction in the plains of Shinar was necessary due to the immense size of the base, which required a large, flat area.
Purpose of the Tower
The Book of Jasher elaborates that the builders were divided into three groups with different objectives: one to wage war against God, another to place their gods in heaven, and the third to attack God with weapons. Despite the people’s resolve, God thwarted their plans by confounding their language.
Nimrod’s Many Names
After the scattering, Nimrod became known by many names across different cultures, including Gilgamesh, Baal, Osiris, and Apollo. This multiplicity of names is attributed to the language division at Babel, where 70 different groups began to speak of him in their respective languages.
Connections to NASA and Egyptian Mythology
The speaker discusses connections between NASA’s space program and ancient Egyptian beliefs, particularly the association between Osiris, Orion, and Apollo. Researchers suggest that the program’s founding scientists were linked to secret societies like the Freemasons, who believed they descended from gods like Osiris. NASA’s Apollo missions, especially the lunar landings, are said to have been aligned with significant celestial events related to Orion’s belt, a constellation linked to Osiris.
Rituals During Apollo Missions
The Apollo 11 mission’s landing site, the Sea of Tranquility, was reportedly chosen due to its alignment with Orion’s belt. After the lunar landing, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, a 33rd-degree Freemason, performed a ceremony involving bread and wine, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian rituals dedicated to Osiris. The speaker argues that this was not a Christian communion but a symbolic offering to Osiris.
Symbolism and the Washington Monument
The speaker also mentions the Washington Monument, linking it to the ancient Egyptian myth of Osiris. According to the myth, Osiris was dismembered into 14 pieces, with only 13 recovered. The missing piece, believed to be Osiris’ phallus, was represented by an obelisk, which the speaker connects to the Washington Monument. During the 50th anniversary of the Apollo mission, the rocket was projected onto this monument, reinforcing the symbolic connection between Osiris, Apollo, and Orion.
Conclusion
The speaker concludes by reiterating the links between ancient mythological figures like Osiris and Apollo, and modern space exploration, suggesting that the symbols and rituals used by NASA are rooted in ancient traditions. This symbolic connection is interpreted as a challenge to the Creator, reflected in both historical and contemporary practices.
