Tower of Babel, Space Elevator, and End Times

Ghoti Ichthus

Genesis 18:32, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Acts 5:29
Mods: Not sure if this is the right place for this. If not, please move. Thank you.

Was half listening to TV program tonight, NASA's Unexplained Files.
One of the stories was about an unexplained object on Mars. One of the explanations for the object was that the object could have been remains, start, or part of a space elevator, which would allow individuals and cargo to be conveyed up to space, eliminating the need to launch heavy rockets to go or provision places in space, and permit the population to truly become interplanetary/interstellar, and do anything.

This got me thinking about the Tower of Babel. Wonder if the Tower of Babel was actually a space elevator? At the time of the tower, the long-lived people would have had a lot of the technical and scientific knowledge of the antedeluvians, passed down by Noah's family, who were the only survivors of the flood. Wonder if the antedeluvians had or were developing/building space elevator(s)?

6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 10:6-10, KJV

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Genesis 11:1-9, KJV

To carry this farther, the end times will be as the times of Noah. Even now, there are multiple countries and companies working on developing a space elevator(s).

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:37, KJV

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luke 17:26-30, KJV

Yep, The ToB was a play for a OWG. Then there's the Mother Harlot of all mystery Babylon religions and the birth of all languages. The fact that so many on our planet have no clue that the ToB was real, is scary.....in the same manner they cannot grasp the creation story and that we are all 1 race (the human race) from Adam and Eve.

But these are the same folks that can't (or more likely won't) grasp that it is a baby in the womb and boys are boys and girls are girls.

Sorry for the wondering away from the ToB.
 
I remember being at a creation science get together, and hearing a speaker mention a finely made gold chain that was found in a seam of coal in a coal mine. Because the miners found it, the "experts" dismissed it as a hoax, but it was one of those things that this speaker was interested in because he felt it might be from before the flood - when the coal deposits were formed from the masses of debris being caught and folded into the soft sediments, later compressed into coal as the sediments formed the rock layers as they hardened.

Something that is not knowable now, pure conjecture --but someday if the Lord allows we can know a bit about that pre flood history.

As for space travel, certain pictographs and archaeological features are only visible from high above the earth's surface, in flight. That tends to suggest that fallen angels oversaw construction of certain sites. Direct lines between Baalbek in Lebanon, Stonehenge in England and several other similar sites. Before or after the Flood. I think after. These sites involved complex knowledge of moon phases and star positions that would be beyond general observational knowledge.
