The novel is one of the first to explore ideas of artificial intelligence, as influenced by Darwin's recently published On the Origin of Species (1859) and the machines developed out of the Industrial Revolution (late 18th to early 19th centuries). Specifically, it concerns itself, in the three-chapter "Book of the Machines", with the potentially dangerous ideas of machine consciousness and self-replicating machines."

Lagash, located northwest of the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was one of the oldest cities

of the Ancient Near East and played an important role in the history of Mesopotamia. It was the center

of one of the first verifiable empires in history, conquering all of Sumer around 2500 B.C. Interestingly,

Lagash filled a power vacuum left by the decline of Uruk, which the Bible informs us was the “beginning

of [Nimrod’s] kingdom.”

8

The religious center of Lagash was a temple called the E­ninnu devoted to the god Ningirsu, or Ninurta

9

(Nin Ur, or “God of War”). Ninurta remained popular in the cosmology of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon,

and Assyria for millennia; two Assyrian kings were named Tukulti­Ninurta, and Ashurnasirpal II built a

temple to Ninurta in his new capital city of Calah around 880 B.C. Several hundred years later, during

the Neo­Babylonian and early Persian empires, the character of Ninurta was apparently fused with that

of the war god Nergal.

Why is this significant? First, scholars draw clear parallels between the god Ninurta/Ningirsu and the

shadowy figure named Nimrod (derived from the Hebrew marad, “to rebel” ). And second,

Ningirsu was often represented as, or accompanied by, a lion­headed (and single­headed) eagle called

Imdugud or Anzû.

Apparently it is this icon thhat the Scottish Rite connects its symbol of ultimate achievement

The link between the lion­eagle Imdugud/Anzû and Ningirsu/Ninurta is especially intriguing in light of

research that makes a compelling case for equating the god with the biblical Nimrod. Much of what

follows in the next few paragraphs is distilled from the 1990 paper by Karel van der Toorn and P.W.

van der Hoorst, “Nimrod Before and After the Bible.”

14

The authors acknowledge the theories that propose a human prototype of Nimrod, but discard them as

unsatisfactory. The most attractive candidate, the Assyrian king Tukulti­Ninurta (1243­1207 B.C.),

lived in an era that simply doesn’t fit the political situation described by the author of the biblical account

of Nimrod’s dominion.

Theories that the character of Nimrod was inspired by or derived from a Mesopotamian deity date

back over 150 years, when a scholar suggested that Nimrod was to be identified with the Babylonian

god Marduk, the biblical Merodach or Bel. This theory was revived in the 1960s when Nimrod’s

characterization as a “mighty hunter before the Lord” was compared with the role played by Marduk in

the Babylonian creation epic, the Enuma Elish. In it, Marduk confronts and kills the monsters of the

army of Tiamat, a chaos monster representing the primordial ocean. Marduk eventually slays Tiamat https://druidshedge.blogspot.com/2019/04/wyrd-games-part-2-44-ways-to-babylon.html

 

Why insist on a symbolic link to Nimrod? Some fascinating theories have been

advanced by researchers­­and not all of them Christians: Nimrod represents the one­world government

of the New World Order; Nimrod is the Antichrist; the Freemasons designed Washington, D.C. as an

alchemical “resurrection machine” to bring back Nimrod/Osiris; the Freemasons financed research into

the pyramids on the Giza plateau to find the tomb of Osiris/Nimrod, and so on.

While these lines of thought are fascinating and worthy of consideration insofar as they fit within the

bounds of scripture, they are unlikely to convince Freemasons.

Shortly after the passage of the Flood Control Act, engineers began surveying the White River and its tributaries for locations to build a series of high, concrete dams. Several locations were selected, and in 1944, the first of five dams that would eventually be built in the White River basin was completed at Norfork (Baxter County). The Norfork Dam was followed by the Bull Shoals Dam in 1951 and Table Rock Dam in 1959. In 1960, construction began simultaneously on the Beaver and Greers Ferry dams. Greers Ferry Dam, named after a ferry operated on the Little Red River near where the dam was built, was completed in 1962 and was dedicated on October 3, 1963, by President John F. Kennedy, in what would be one of his last major public appearances before his assassination. The dam measures 1,704 feet in length and stands 243 feet above the streambed of the Little Red River. It cost $46.5 million and created a reservoir of between 30,000 and 40,000 acres, depending on water level, and over 340 miles of shoreline in Cleburne and Van Buren counties.

 

The construction of the dam required the relocation of families living on the bottomland along the river, and upon the dam’s completion, a number of communities were submerged, including Miller, Higden, Shiloh, and Edgemont. While there were many who were opposed to the construction of the dam, at the time the dam was constructed, no citizen protest had ever successfully halted plans for a Corps of Engineers Reservoir, and most viewed opposition as futile. Despite the inundation of the majority of the county’s most productive farmland, the positive economic impact of the dam and lake was immediate. Cleburne County’s population grew from 9,000 in 1960 to over 24,000 in 2000. The Corps of Engineers estimated that over 5.5 million people visited the lake and surrounding area by 2000, generating over $130 million in revenue. https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/greers-ferry-dam-and-lake-2320/The 3,550-acre Lake Nimrod is Arkansas's oldest lake created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was formed following the 1942 completion of a dam on the Fourche LaFave River. The Ouachita National Forest borders the lake's south shore, and State Scenic 7 Byway passes by its east end.https://kkyr.com/the-mystery-of-the-underground-tunnel-in-hot-springs/
