And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
The beginning of Nimrod's kingdom was in the land of Shinar, where Babel with Erech, Accad, Calneh and other cities stood. From that same Shinar region Asshur went out and built Nineveh.
This record belongs to the authentic account of the origin of nations. That history is the most ancient and the most comprehensive history in human possession. It comes fresh from the fountain of eternal truth, and its purity has been preserved through the ages by a divine hand. It lights up the far-distant past where human research cannot penetrate. In it is beheld the power that laid the foundations of the earth and stretched out the heavens. It gives the history of the human race unsullied by human pride or prejudice.
