    Does the Talmud back up the New Testament on the account of the trial and execution of Jesus the Son of God.

    We won’t discuss language anymore because I feel it’s clear there is a single language source,so now to talk about why there was a language catastrophe in Sumer/Kengir at the Tower of Babel/Bavel. The common word for tower in ancient Sumer/Kengir is ziggurat as opposed to migdal (Heb. tower) but the word ziggurat is not…
