Blainerb:   "Supposed to have?"  Judging from the "plethora" of records about the Tower of Babel, and what went on then, can you even say "supposed" with any degree of assurance?  :>)  I mean, let's face it, what we have on the Tower of Babel, is veeeery scant, indeed.  The BoM gives a fairly detailed record of one group leaving the Tower  .  .  .  called the Book of Ether.  But I have not read anything else that I would place much confidence in--perhaps you are aware of some very ancient documents????     In a message dated 12/31/2005 5:17:31 P.M.
