Soon after the flood, men started building gopurams to communicate with the evil spirit world. They also started worshipping fire and other forces of nature. Idol worship and worship of ancestors gave rise to innumerable gods and goddesses. These people started spreading out from Central Asia to the various parts of the world as multiple languages started mushrooming in a short period. God caused this confusion in language among men to minimise and slowdown the effect of sin among a people who spoke a single language - Thamizh - till then.

Nimrod, the son of Cush was the grandson of Ham – one of the three sons who were saved by the Lord from the Flood by Noah’s ark. (Ham’s son Canaan was the carrier of the mutant gene to head today’s Thamizhar). He began to be a mighty one in the earth. – Gen 10:8. The Bible also continues He was a mighty hunter before the LORD – Gen 10:9. His name became so well known in history that it became a byword later as “Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord”. He also became a king. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. – Gen 10:10.

Babel is modern day Babylon and Erech is Uruk (Iraq?). Probably the other places mentioned here lost their importance and identity in the later days. But Asshur, another son of Ham went from here and built his own city Nineveh (Syria) that stands a witness to the historicity of Nimrod till day. Shinar in Southern Babylonia is the later day Chaldea. Sumerian and Assyrian civilizations with Thamizh as their language & culture flourished. Vel, Erkadu, Kalan, Chinnar, Siriya, Suran, Urukku?

Nimrod might have saved his fellowmen from the wild animals that started multiplying rapidly alongside the herbivores. The food pyramid was meaningless, at least in the early days of the post-flood era. The carnivores menace had to be controlled at a war footing. Nimrod succeeded in his endeavour and became the popular hero. He showed himself a benefactor and protector of the people, a king; the first king this side of the Flood.
