Chapter 415 The Broken Battle
The Tower of Babel, also known as the Tower of Babel.
This ancient word from the Bible has two distinct meanings, one is "the door to the kingdom of God", and the other is "the chaos that mankind has initiated toward heaven".
According to the only surviving documents in modern times, the tower was presided over and maintained by the king of the Babylonian kingdom, Nebuchadnezzar II.
Its main purpose is to show its power and greatness, and to prove to the gods who live in the kingdom of heaven that the great power possessed by human beings can already touch the realm of gods.
One thing to note here is that Nebuchadnezzar II was not the builder of the Tower of Babel. He was only responsible for continuing to maintain the Tower of Babel on the original basis.
And not only Nebuchadnezzar II, but several kings before him, participated in and repaired the Tower of Babel.
In other words.
The exact time when the Tower of Babel appeared, and the builders have long been unknown, and those who came later were only responsible for repairs.
According to modern archaeological historical records, this magnificent human spectacle has long been destroyed by the Persian wars, and even the remaining remains of the tower body cannot be found, so it can only be regarded as a religious legend.
But obviously.
The real Tower of Babel was not destroyed by the Persian war, but was inside the giant bronze gate from beginning to end.
Such a huge tower cannot be built by manpower. Even if modern society uses all the power, it is impossible to build this magnificent spectacle that goes straight to the sky!
The Tower of Babel is nearly tens of thousands of meters high when observed with the naked eye, and it is still made of bricks, tiles and stones, completely ignoring modern architectural mechanics and other theories.
As Lord gradually approached, he saw part of the original appearance of the Tower of Babel at a glance, and in his heart, there was a kind of admiration for the builder.
The structure of the entire tower of Babel is circular from bottom to top. Every tens of meters in the middle, there is a huge platform, which becomes smaller and smaller as the height increases. For people to climb around the tower.
At the bottom of the Tower of Babel is a temple that covers an area of about several thousand square meters. It is generally square like an Egyptian pyramid. The whole is divided into six levels from the outside, like giant stones stacked together. The layers are distinct and magnificent.
A huge stone staircase extends up, and after crossing three stone gates, you can enter this ancient temple, and then climb the high tower that leads to heaven.
Even if Lorde grinds his spiritual power into silk,
Extending up to the extreme distance, it is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this tower, and you can see how high it is.
I'm afraid it really is as the legend says, the end of the Tower of Babel is heaven!
It's hard to imagine that in such an ancient era, the forgers worked so hard to build such a tower that reached the sky. What was the purpose of it?
"It's getting more and more interesting..."
Lorde narrowed his eyes slightly and walked to the temple at the bottom of the Tower of Babel. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in this ancient ruins!
Climbing up the stairs of the temple and seeing this magnificent building up close, Lorde couldn't help but sigh again.
The overall structure and style of the temple are the same as the bronze doors that have been standing in the ground for millions of years. There is no trace of artificial carving. It seems to be a creation of nature.
After passing through the three arches, Lord finally came to the last door of the temple.
There are two wide open stone gates, about ten meters high and five or six meters wide, which can accommodate many people walking together. Many Akkadian characters are engraved on the surface of the stone gates.
If you can understand the meaning, there should be clues, but unfortunately no one can understand the Akkadian script, so Lord just glanced at it and strode into the temple.
The temple adopts a special construction method, and the internal lighting is good, so it is not as dark as imagined, but very bright, like daytime, and the internal situation is unobstructed.
In the very center of the temple, there is a staircase spiraling upwards, which obviously leads to the top of the Tower of Babel, but there is no need to go up yet, so put it aside for the time being and don't pay too much attention to it.
The focus is on the inside of the temple, eight huge stone tablets several meters high.
These steles are lined up in a line, and there is a giant snake swallowing under the stele body. The stele is painted with ancient pigments, and there are eight colorful murals.
"Finally there is one that I am good at." Lord smiled, looking at the picture and making up for it, he was the best at it in his last life!
Although he couldn't understand the Akkadian characters, he could still understand the painting on the stele.
"This...this is!"
But it's okay not to look at it. At a glance, Lorde was suddenly shocked, setting off a storm, and he couldn't stop for a long time.
What was depicted on the eight stele paintings was not about religious sacrifices, as he had guessed earlier, but a tragic war!
But the warring sides depicted on the stone tablet are what really made Lord feel horrified and even unbelievable.
There are countless angels fluttering their wings and swinging their swords, some hideous demons crawling out of the abyss, and a large number of humans in armor and helmets, all of them charged and roared towards the enemy above the mural.
There are also countless dead angels, demons, and human corpses who have fallen from the sky, and the blood has dyed almost the entire earth into an endless sea of blood!
As his gaze gradually moved upward, Lorde even saw several 'acquaintances' in the center of the mural!
Uh......
Although everyone's relationship is not very good, they should be considered acquaintances, at least that's what Lord thinks.
For example...four seraphs.
Among them, the angel who was surrounded by waves and was playing his flute should be Gabriel who had seen him before.
And the angel with a beautiful face, long golden hair, standing with a sword in both hands, six sacred wings spread out, and radiating endless brilliance, must be Michael.
There is also an angel holding a flaming sword in one hand and a single snake coiled wooden staff in the other. Not surprisingly, it is Raphael, a blazing angel famous for healing and flames.
The last angel is different from the other three in that he has a male appearance, handsome and mighty, unrestrained and handsome, just standing there is enough to attract everyone's attention, as bright and dazzling as the morning star, needless to say , it must be that Lucifer did not run!
That would have been shocking enough, but more shocking is yet to come.
A gigantic body that is like crimson molten lava, flowing with flames, with a curved horn derived from its head, a two-strand fork in its hand, and a demon with a bright red cloak flying behind it is standing side by side with the four blazing angels. fight.
Two forks, red cloak...
These two iconic representatives have almost hammered this red demon, that is, Mephisto, who was tricked by him not long ago!
The power of the demons is not only here, there are two mysterious demons, but the murals are too vague, so Lord does not know who they are.
But being able to stand side by side with Mephisto and the four blazing angels, the background should not be small.
However, the three forces of angels, demons, and human beings can be united, and the enemies they face together are very strange. There is no entity on the entire mural, only a large amount of black mist is used to represent it.
The lifelike depiction of the tablet painting makes the viewer feel immersed in the scene, and a large amount of bright red dye is used to render the tragic degree of the war.
Even after a million years of history, Lorde seemed to be able to smell the thick bloody smell that had already penetrated into the stone tablet and could not be erased, as well as the deep despair.
