Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
(Genesis 11:7-9) NKJV
You would think that something as significant as the birth of all human culture taking place after the dispersal from Noah’s ark would be noticed. Sure enough, that’s what the record of history tells us happened.
The timing is critical in the period of human history that we need to understand. People needed encouragement to get started with overspreading the Earth so God confounded their languages and they dispersed from Babel.
The Fertile Crescent is a crescent-shaped region in the Middle East, spanning modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, together with the southeastern region of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran. Some authors also include Cyprus.
The region has been called the “cradle of civilization” because it is where settled farming first emerged as people started the process of clearance and modification of natural vegetation in order to grow newly domesticated plants as crops. Early human civilizations such as Sumer in Mesopotamia flourished as a result. Technological advances in the region include the development of agriculture and the use of irrigation, of writing, the wheel, and glass, most emerging first in Mesopotamia.

This gets us into the period of recorded history and with it the can of worms which has been opened up by radiocarbon dating. All anthropologists and historians insist that all of the worlds major civilization predate the flood. This is because of radiocarbon dating of artifacts and the timescale which has been developed from it. It’s bogus. All radiometric dating techniques depend on assuming that nuclear decay rates have always been constant. That’s not a testable hypothesis and so it’s not scientific. Radiometric dating is pseudoscience.
