Reconsidering the Location of Babel
The traditional location of the Tower of Babel in Lower Mesopotamia is being called into question. The linguistic dynamics of the event, including the massive confusion of languages and scattering of peoples, align more logically with an earlier date and a more northerly location, specifically in northern Mesopotamia. The Proto-Indo-European language shift between 6000 and 4000 BC emerges as a significant event that correlates with the linguistic framework of the Babel narrative.
