Bablot (architect)

• architect and builder of tower of Babel

77:3.1Af­ter the sub­mer­gence of Dala­ma­tia the Nod­ites moved north and east, pres­ently found­ing the new city of Dil­mun as their racial and cul­tural head­quar­ters. And about fifty thou­sand years af­ter the death of Nod, when the off­spring of the Prince’s staff had be­come too nu­mer­ous to find sub­sis­tence in the lands im­me­di­ately sur­round­ing their new city of Dil­mun, and af­ter they had reached out to in­ter­marry with the An­don­ite and 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 en­dorsed.

77:3.2Bablot 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 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 en­gulf­ment of their first cap­i­tal, Dala­ma­tia.

77:3.3Bablot 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 Ba­bel.
