Poem
[REVISED 2024 April 04] Shinar, some know as Mesopotamia, others as Assyria, near the Euphrates River, a midday sun cast doubts of a weakened shade made idle by the pause of its agile host, named Nimrod, son of Cush, grandson of Ham, and Noah's great-grandson. No sign of depletion, hence the shade returns to motion. Nimrod is the soul ruler of the land of Shinar, host to several ancient cities, one was called, Babel. Scripturally, Nimrod was said to be a great hunter, and that would be the length of it. Jewish and Christian texts are not able to agree whereupon Nimrod's entry into the historical record books other than what has been escribed in the scriptures of the Talmud and the Bible, albeit, elements of foreign records have cluttered historical accountabilities and further strengthened pre-existing ambiguities, thusly, a genre of conjectures misleads, and misinterpretations, have made authenticity and accuracy to remain divided. There are numerous variances, such as those accounts between Jewish and Islamic customs or beliefs from generation to generation, concerning Nimrod's and of Abraham's first encounter, from that of a subliminal meeting of minds, to the simplicity of a gnat that had overwhelmed the mighty forces of Nimrod's army by entry into his brain's that affected his abilities. The accounts of Josephus concerning King Amraphel whom Abraham did battle in Genesis, was Nimrod. The Tower of Babel was built by the people whom King Amraphel, being Nimrod, had ruled, and by that being such, gave rise to Nimrod ordering the building of the Tower in Babel. The Christian Bible does naught mention that other than he, Nimrod, was a great hunter. I believe it would have stabilize Josephus' claims.
