Ca. 2640 BCE. Building of ziggurats, the first skyscrapers (Gn 10:25).

Synchronisms over the period 2800-2500 are few because Sumerian records did not yet exist118 since the invention of cuneiform writing is attributed to En-merkar (c. -2500), King of Uruk: Because the messenger's mouth was too heavy, and he could not repeat it. The lord of Kulab (En-merkar) patted some clay and put the words on it as on a tablet. Before that day, there had been no putting words on clay; But now, when the sun rose on that day —so it was: The lord of Kulab had put words as on a tablet —so it was!119 During the period 2800-2500 a synchronism can be noticed because there is only one exceptional event reported: Etana the shepherd, who ascended to heaven and consolidated all the foreign countries, he reigned 1500 years. Etana had the ancient title "gods drawn the city"120. The Bible states that in the days of Peleg “Division” the earth was reorganized after the failure of the Tower of Babel, a building that had reached heaven: To Eber were born two sons: the first was called Peleg, because it was in his time that the earth was divided (Gn 10:25). This exceptional event, which was the fortification of Sumerian cities (Agade, Uruk) and the building of ziggurats121 “built in high/ skyscraper”, is dated around -2640 in both chronologies. The period 3170-2800 is very poorly documented (the first available data appear only from -2500)122, the only remarkable event is, according to the Bible, the construction of the Tower of Babel then its abandonment and the emergence of languages... Nimrod, whose name means “Let us rebel” in Hebrew, was the last son of Kush, so he was probably born at the same time of his cousin Kainan (3033-2573) and initiated the building of the Tower of Babel from 3000 to 2950.

121 16 ziggurats have been discovered, the ziggurat at Sialk (Elam) is dated c. -2300, those of the city of Agade (not yet found) are only mentioned in some texts. The ziggurat of Babylon was called É.TEMEN.AN.KI “temple of the foundation of heaven and earth”.

Etana (2638-2613), a king of Kish I, created the Sumerian ziggurat (a skyscraper with 4 floors) to connect his earthly kingship to heaven (a concept from the Tower of Babel) and at exactly the same time Khasekhemwy (2614-2597), an Egyptian king, created the same ziggurat for its funeral complex in Abydos by burying also 12 large vessels (22-29 meters long)187! Djoser (2597-2578) built the same ziggurat for its funeral complex (apparently without a boat)188.
