77:3.1 After the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:5._IMMEDIATE_RESULTS_OF_REBELLION submergence] of [[Dalamatia]] the [[Nodites]] moved north and east, presently founding the new city of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilmun Dilmun] as their [[racial]] and [[cultural]] [[headquarters]]. And about fifty thousand years after the [[death]] of [[Nod]], when the [[offspring]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] had become too numerous to find subsistence in the [[land]]s [[immediately]] [[surrounding]] their new [[city]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilmun Dilmun], and after they had reached out to intermarry with the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonite] and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA Sangik] [[tribes]] adjoining their borders, it occurred to their [[leaders]] that something should be done to preserve their [[racial]] [[unity]]. Accordingly a [[council]] of the [[tribes]] was called, and after much [[deliberation]] the [[plan]] of Bablot, a descendant of [[Nod]], was indorsed.

Accordingly a [[council]] of the [[tribes]] was called, and after much [[deliberation]] the [[plan]] of Bablot, a descendant of [[Nod]], was indorsed.

77:3.2 Bablot proposed to erect a pretentious [[temple]] of [[racial]] [[glorification]] at the [[center]] of their then occupied territory. This [[temple]] was to have a tower the like of which the world had never seen. It was to be a [[monumental]] [[memorial]] to their passing greatness. There were many who wished to have this [[monument]] erected in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilmun Dilmun], but others contended that such a great [[structure]] should be placed a safe distance from the [[dangers]] of the [[sea]], remembering the [[traditions]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:5._IMMEDIATE_RESULTS_OF_REBELLION engulfment] of their first [[capital]], [[Dalamatia]].

77:3.3 Bablot planned that the new buildings should become the [[nucleus]] of the [[future]] [[center]] of the [[Nodite]] [[culture]] and [[civilization]]. His [[counsel]] finally prevailed, and construction was started in [[accordance]] with his [[plans]]. The new [[city]] was to be named Bablot after the [[architect]] and builder of the tower. This location later became known as Bablod and eventually as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel Babel].

77:3.4 But the [[Nodites]] were still somewhat divided in sentiment as to the [[plans]] and [[purposes]] of this undertaking. Neither were their [[leaders]] altogether [[agreed]] concerning either construction [[plans]] or usage of the buildings after they should be completed. After four and one-half years of [[work]] a great [[dispute]] arose about the object and [[motive]] for the erection of the tower: The contentions became so bitter that all [[work]] stopped. The [[food]] carriers spread the news of the [[dissension]], and large numbers of the [[tribes]] began to forgather at the building site. Three [[differing]] views were propounded as to the [[purpose]] of building the tower:

Three [[differing]] views were propounded as to the [[purpose]] of building the tower:

77:3.5 1. The largest [[group]], almost one half, [[desired]] to see the tower built as a [[memorial]] of [[Nodite]] [[history]] and racial superiority. They [[thought]] it ought to be a great and imposing [[structure]] which would [[challenge]] the [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/admiration admiration] of all [[future]] [[generations]].

77:3.6 2. The next largest faction wanted the tower designed to commemorate the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilmun Dilmun] [[culture]]. They foresaw that Bablot would become a great [[center]] of [[commerce]], [[art]], and [[manufacture]].

77:3.7 3. The smallest and minority contingent held that the erection of the tower presented an [[opportunity]] for making [[atonement]] for the [[folly]] of their progenitors in [[participating]] in the [[Caligastia]] [[rebellion]]. They [[maintained]] that the tower should be [[devoted]] to the [[worship]] of [[the Father]] of all, that the whole [[purpose]] of the new [[city]] should be to take the place of [[Dalamatia]]—to [[function]] as the cultural and religious [[center]] for the [[surrounding]] [[barbarians]].

77:3.8 The [[religious]] [[group]] were promptly [[voted]] down. The [[majority]] rejected the [[teaching]] that their [[ancestors]] had been [[guilty]] of [[rebellion]]; they resented such a racial [[stigma]]. Having disposed of one of the [[three]] [[angles]] to the dispute and failing to settle the other two by [[debate]], they fell to fighting. The religionists, the noncombatants, fled to their [[homes]] in the south, while their fellows fought until well-nigh [[obliterated]].

77:3.9 About twelve thousand years ago a second attempt to erect the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel tower of Babel] was made. The mixed [[races]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites] ([[Nodites]] and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:2._THE_ADAMITES_IN_THE_SECOND_GARDEN Adamites]]) undertook to raise a new [[temple]] on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruins ruins] of the first [[structure]], but there was not sufficient [[support]] for the [[enterprise]]; it fell of its own pretentious weight. This region was long known as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel land of Babel].
