Weird links between the Tower of Babyl myth and the Twin Towers

  • Babylon is in modern Iraq, one of the countries invaded by the US in the aftermath of 9\11
  • Both claimed to be the highest towers in the world
  • Both are in populated influential trade centers
  • The Babylon myth with different languages VS the War on Terror, affecting policies worldwide, growing tensions and fear in the post-USSR world, now - post 9\11 world
  • The pronounced reasoning behind the 9\11, told as a fatwa by Osama, starts as follows: All these American crimes and sins are a clear proclamation of war against God, his Messenger, and the Muslims. Not that far from what caused the abrahamic god to prank Babylon.

This connection is loose, lacks context and mixes very different things together, but I haven’t got a pleasure to shower any longer than that to think things out.

How BS is it?

  • The taller a tower is, the more memorable its collapse tends to be.
  • Taller towers tend to be located in bigger cities.
  • Bigger cities tend to occur in the heart of culturally and politically dominant states.
  • Big cities in dominant states tend to have inhabitants from multiple regions who speak different languages.

It’s no surprise that these tendencies should lead to historical and mythical correlations.

complete and total bs.

human brains are giant pattern-recognition engines... we strive to see what might exist, and trip on things (patters) that absolutely do not mean anything.

religious folks really like to abuse that facet of humanity. its what allows them to trick humans into believing absolute nonsense

I don’t disagree with that. I find it an interesting match of patterns. And, what I won’t edit in now, as it’s an afterthought, how we learnt to perceive both persons responsible for these acts of terror.

It may get me somewhere for a long time, but I find Osamas terracts on 9\11 taking 3k+ thousands lives and turning the western hemisphere even more alert about everything non-superwhite at least somehow grounded, not excused, in how his world was raped by big western countries, thus helping him to get support and turn into a bastard we know. And as for god? I find them even more shitty than Osama Bin Laden, for it’s his personal power and self-importance at risk, thus they are the most infamous imaginary terrorist in our history and mythology. And as these two cases losely follow each other, we may question if (any stray of) christians are happy about being babyloned in 9\11 themselves.
