In the wake of the publishing of The Secrets of Ancient Man the Ancient Man Team is gearing up for round three in the ancient man series! We're excited about the addition of new team members and the new research we have already uncovered and started to sift through. To give you a little glimpse into what we are up to these days, check out what one of our researchers has to say about joining the team...
“Like the
city that nurtured my greed and my pride,
I stretched
my arms into the sky
I cry Babel,
Babel, look at me now
For the walls
of my tower they come crumbling down”
Excerpt
from “Babel,” written by Marcus Mumford
Although Marcus Mumford may not have
the same purpose in mind as we do when we talk about this ancient city, his
song definitely portrays how the ideas of Babel have lingered in society
throughout history. Whether man does this knowingly, or from an innate desire
to “make a name for themselves,” he has undoubtedly followed this trend
throughout history. Babel symbolizes a permeating motivation, a driving force
behind the actions of man, and we therefore expect to see its trail of
ideological residue throughout cultural history.
Everywhere we look – whether in our
history books or in our archeological explorations – we see the evidence of a
world-culture obsessed with the three main tenets of Babel’s ideology: to
develop unity, a universality of religion, and to raise humanity above God.
This is because when God scattered the people from Babel, they carried with
them the ideas and ideologies that first flourish at the Tower.
Joining the Team
Exploring these ideas is what first
interested me in the Ancient Man Project. My first encounter with Genius was
when I visited my sister at Jackson Hole Bible College and learned that some of
her classmates would be staying on campus to do research for what they called
the “Ancient Man Project.” That was when I knew I wanted to be a part of this.
Some years later, in my own year at JHBC, I was blessed to be asked by Pastor
Don Landis to join the Ancient Man Team. God has led me from my first expressed
interest in Ancient Man so many years ago, to now, where I am living on campus
and working full-time on research. It has been incredible to see the process of
how the Lord works to accomplish His will for me and how He has brought me
here.
Right in our backyard…
Despite the fact that we are still
in the preliminary stages of our research, I have already learned so much from
being a part of this wonderful team. One of the many things that has surprised
me is the sheer volume of evidence of Babel and the genius of ancient man that
we have right here in America. The abundance of significant indicators
revealing the intelligence of ancient man and his relation to Babel is
staggering. Currently we are working on simply compiling a master-list of
information and resources that could be helpful for book three, and it is
overwhelmingly impressive. The extraordinary length of the list can sometimes
feel daunting, but it is also incredibly encouraging to know that there is such
significant data in support of our beliefs, right here in our backyard.

| "America's Stonehenge"- New Hampshire (http://www.perceptivetravel.com/issues/1109/new_england.html) |
Of late I have been researching
stone chambers in the New England area. It is amazing to see the ingenuity
involved in the construction, and sometimes alignment (with solar, lunar, or
stellar events) of these stone structures. Sometimes I find it hard to believe
that archeologists and historians do not study these sites more - they present
such a unique glimpse into the lives of their makers! It seems to point to the
idea that the data that does not conform to a certain worldview must either be
reinterpreted or ignored by its proponents. If only people would consider that
their preconceived notions about the origins and nature of man might need to be
adjusted!
This
is simply man showing himself to be ever striving in the shadow of Babel, “the city that nurtured my greed and my
pride...” and they cry “Babel, Babel, look at me now” without ever
realizing that “the walls of my tower
they come crumbling down.” God will have the ultimate victory, and I am
honored and excited to be a part of this project as it spreads that message.
Join the research team from YOUR own backyard!
