Archaeologist Dr. Doug Petrovich discusses his evidence that Nimrod from the Book of Genesis can be identified as Saurgon of Akkad. From the documentary "Is Genesis History?" Watch the full film on KZbin.
Transcript:
yeah we have other evidence in the Bible of this move toward urbanization and probably the best example is the identity of the man in the Bible known as Nimrod I've done a lot of research on Nimrod studied the passage very carefully and studied the archaeology of the time periods that it could be related to very carefully and I'm very much convinced that Nimrod biblical Nimrod is Sargon of aad the cities that it says that Nimrod captured in of course Babylon is part of that khu and Nineveh so what we see about Nimrod that's true in the biography of Sargon so the record we have in Genesis concerning Nimrod and all that he conquered matches the artifacts that we see for S yeah it matches the artifacts it matches the history and it matches the epigraphical record that tells us what was his path of uh achieving Glory conquering cities and becoming the first Empire Builder

If nimrod traslates to Rebeller, maybe its a type of title.. Sargon the rebeller. And maybe like today those who wrote of him that called him Nimrod, would rather call him the rebel or rebeller instead of his name, Sargon. Maybe its a kind of slight or a bit of a insult if Sagon heard of himself referred to as Nimrod (Rebeller)

I once saw a documentary that stated the possibility that the name "Nimrod" was very likely a moniker for an actual historical ruler... that it was meant as either an insult or a code word (nickname) referring to said ruler whenever it was unsafe to be heard talking about him publicly... exactly like when we use unpleasant nicknames when referring to individuals we don't like. I also lean toward Nimrod possibly being Sargon of Akkad.

@roberta.3318 10 ай бұрын

So this happens alot in the old testament, many names such as Nimrod, in the Hebrew are actually descriptions of the individuals character, so Nimrod literally means to rebel, it's also fitting that God would not give him/Sargon the glory or respect of using his actual name since he was leading an open rebellion against the God of Heaven, hence God simply referred to him as the rebellious one.

@willielee5253 9 ай бұрын

It takes study to understand whether he was or not rebellious, but for sure he was not the first great ruler of that region, yet the greatest seeing he went beyond others who conquered before him. Biblically, when one counts down from Noah's descendents, they are one apart by birth - Abraham and Nimrod People take the word ( before ) in Genesis 10:9 to be in the negative, when elsewhere that same word has no negative connotations. That's to say, there are lot of negative words that would have betrayed him as being against God but we're not used. He's just a great hunter as depicted and of the family of Ham.

@cosmictreason2242 10 ай бұрын

The main reason why sargon cannot be nimrod is that Abraham fought 4 kings in the area within the next 1-200 years and this fact could not coexist with the akkadian empire beginning in that area before abraham arrived. The akkadian empire is later in history. Mr, Petrovich takes too much of the "standard chronology" for granted and inflates the ages of historical events outside of the Bible. Sargon probably date to the 1800s BC (Abraham 2100, Nimrod 2250) under the revised chronology (there are many proposed revisions but I'm referring to the one AiG utilizes)

The Bible does not state that Nimrod captured these cities but rather that he built them. The timeline does not work for this theory. I wonder what all of the soft language is about here too. “The move towards urbanization.” How about the enslavement of peoples and gathering them into groups sufficiently large enough to exploit their labour for your self aggrandizing construction projects. “His path of achieving glory.” How about, his path of murder and rape through the world of his time as the initial tyrant seizing power in Satan’s system of things. The Bible refers to Nimrod as “a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah.” I suppose it has always been thus for the “great” leaders of this system.

In Genesis 10 Nimrod is the 3rd Generation from Noah (Ham then his son Cush, Then Cush's son was Nimrod). Down to the 3rd Generation men and women were living over 400 years old. So Nimrod possibly lived to be over 400 years old. Nimrod also learned how to build from his Grandfather Ham and possibly Noah. One in the city's Nimrod built was Babel ( The tower a Babel and were God confused the language) and Nineveh (Jonah and the whale)

Nimrod was the Son of Cush (Ethiopia) ...

@ThunderKat2012 10 ай бұрын

Cush was not the son of Nimrod. But > Nimrod was the son of Cush. Noah's son Ham became father of Cush, so Ham was the grandfather of Nimrod. See Genesis 10:6--20. The different colors of skin of Noah's sons is because of Noah's wife and is the result of the original wide genetic index of DNA & RNA that Adam and Eve had … in order to produce a variety of colors, shapes and sizes… plus different hair-textures among their offspring. (WHO knows if Adam and Eve were the same color, > or not.!.?) You might consider Genesis 3:20 & 5:4. The name Ham (Cham in Hebrew) was given by his father Noah, and the name “Ham” means “dark” or “swarthy” in Hebrew. Cush and Nimrod were Ham's son and grandson. Also, many of Ham's other descendants thru Mizraim moved south into Egypt. The river Nile would have easily given them access deep into the African continent beyond Ethiopia after the Flood. See Genesis chapter 10: vss 6, 8, 13 & vs 32; compare “Abel-Mizraim Genesis 50:11-26, & “Mizraim” in 1 Chronicles 1:8+11.

Nimrod was the first DICTATOR, and he had his slaves do the building for him. He was a mighty hunter "against the LORD", and probably was the first to train the horse. He might have also worn leopard skins for his rulership as Dictator. He was an evil man and Shem got permission from the world's judges to hunt him down and execute him for his evil deeds. He married his own Mother and when Shem executed him his wife made up the story that he was resurrected as a pine tree in the forest: the beginning of SUN worship, and Saturnalia, or xmas.
