In the absence of written records, archaeological finds are open to various interpretations. Answers proposed to such questions as "Where was the cradle of civilization?" and "Who built Stonehenge and similar monuments and when?" will depend on one's suppositions. This paper examines Genesis chapters 10 and 11, and concludes that all people have their roots in Babel; that 100 years after the Flood, approximately 12,000 highly civilized, intelligent, knowledgeable people spread out from there; that they carried with them a religion based on the stars and a compulsion to build monuments.
