Excavations in Mesopotamia have led archaeologists and other scientists to conclude that a flood was so destructive that it made a lasting impression on the population and became a subject for the ancient literature of the period. Also archeologists have found billions fossils in water-deposited sedimentary rock in every elevation, and in almost every part of the world. If there wasnt a world-wide flood this would be an impossible fact to explain.The descendants of Noahs family multiplied and settled in the area of Babylon where they began to build the Tower of Babel, which was a ziggurat. The Sumerian ziggurat in present-day Iraq could be its remains. God became angry because He told the people to multiply and spread throughout the earth and they hadnt.

This could be the great division of the land. Some scientists believe the earth was one great land mass and they call it Pangea. Therefore, we came to have many languages and continents. I might add also that evolutionists have no explanation for the vast number of languages. Since the people were split into small groups, their genetic traits were intensified as they multiplied. That is why we now have different races. One of Pelegs descendants was Abraham, who settled in the land of Canaan. There he begat Isaac, and Isaac had Jacob, and Jacob had Joseph, who was sold into slavery in Egypt in 1683 B.C.
