A rebellious man before God, who encouraged others to rebel as well, Nimrod garnered a vast following over time because of his precision in archery and hunting. He established the kingdom of Babel along with other principal cities and was well on his way to establishing the first “known” world super power. He began an impossible project: the tower of Babel. I believe this was both a tower and an epicenter for inter-dimensional travel. A project pursued because of access to advanced information from enlightened beings (angels or other heavenly beings). Whether or not it was a tower or an advanced technological pursuit, it got the attention of God causing Him to come down and confuse the language thereby thwarting the building of it. Throughout the rest of human history from that point, the image and idea of Nimrod spread throughout the earth and adapted to every culture and civilization in the personality of a variety of , god-kings, and legendary heroes. An eponym is the name of a person or thing, whether real or fictitious, after which a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item is named or thought to be named.

One who is referred to as eponymous is someone who gives his or her name to something.

Ninus One of the first individual’s established as synonymous with Nimrod was a man named Ninus. He does not seem to represent any one individual known to history, and is most likely an amalgamation of various real and/or fictional figures of antiquity, as described by the Greeks throughout time. He was known to have trained the first dogs for hunting and horses for riding. He was said to have conquered and established the first empire. He was said to be the son of or a associated with Ba’al. Bel Bel is actually a title as opposed to the name of a deity. The feminine form is Belit meaning lady or mistress. Bel in Greek is Belos and in Latin its Belus. Bel is East Semitic, while Ba’al is Northwestern Semitic. Bel was also identified as a god. 46:1, Jeremiah 50:2 & 51:44 (Ba’al is mentioned 52 times in the bible) Marduk became the Babylonian sun god and the head of the Babylonian pantheon. Later he was associated with water, vegetation, judgment, and magic. His wife was , mother , moon goddess, and queen of heaven. Marduk also called Belus became associated with who also is the chief Roman god with Zeus being the Greek counterpart. He was also identified as an ancient king who founded Babylon (hmmmmm…..I wonder who that was) and builder of an ancient structure that predated the called the . Belus elsewhere is a vague, ancestral figure. It was suggested in The Two by Alexander Hislop that, “He was originally a conqueror who fathered king Ninus the first, and that after Ninus' death his wife began to claim Ninus as a Sun god, Cush (Belus) as the Lord God, herself as the mother goddess and her son Tammuz as the god of love, in an effort to control her subjects better after the death of her husband, and to allow her to rule as her newborn son's regent. Nebuchadnezzar I claimed to be a direct descendant of Bel, which would make his son, the Nebuchadnezzar of the Bible a descendant as well. Belus was also believed to be an Egyptian king and son of the Greek god .
