Archaeologists have recently discovered bitumen and mortar

II, according to an Express report on Wednesday.
The
material has supposed connections to Babylon's Tower of Babel, the myth
that supposedly explains why different languages exist.

The Tower of Babel is mentioned in the Book of Genesis 11:1-9, which takes place after the story of Noah's Ark.
Last month,
the world's oldest drawing of a ghost was discovered on a tablet that
was also based back to the Babylonian era that was constructed
approximately 3,500 years ago.
The drawing presents a male ghost with his hands tied by a rope,
being led by a woman pulling the rope. It is said to be a guide to
getting rid of unwanted ghosts by acknowledging what brought them back
to the living world.

Two years ago, another discovery of ash layers, Iron Age potsherds, and jewelry reportedly helped prove the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 587/586 BCE.
