Before the dispersal of mankind at the “Tower of Babel,” this region was not called Babylon. It was oidy after the confusion of the language and the dispersal of the people, that the name Babel was given to the lower. This conclusion is reached by way of logic. WMiat was the name of this region and Tower before the confusion of the language and the dispersal? IVehster’s Dictionary (gazetteer section) says Sumer is the. southern division of ancient Babylon. Moreover, this same dictionary says on page 810, Sumerian: "the pre-Semitic population of the lower T. uphratcs Valley.” The “pre-Semitic population” means that the black Sumerians were there first. This point is in harmony with my original position that the people in lower Mesopotamia were eastern Ethiopians. These Sumerians or F. thiopians and their kindred appear to have settled along tracts from Mesopertamia to India. This area now includes: southern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwest India.*- 'The first and second allusions to Sumer in the Bible are in Genesis 10:10, 11:1 under the name Shinar. Webster's Dictionary (gazetteer section) hints to this relationship erf Shinar and Sumer. There is definitely a blood relationship between the Dravidian tribes of India and the Ethiopian Sumerians. 'The Sumerian civilization preceded the Babylonian. The Sumerians founded cities that existed more than 4,000 years ii. c. such as: Eridu, l, aga. sh, Nippur, Kish, and Ur. Archeologists bavc found skeletons of ancient Dravidian and Nedda types '•1 Ur and Kish. Antuiuated Sumerian statuettes resemble •he statuettes of the Dravidian civilization.*®
