King Nimrod, the Mighty Hunter,

Founder of Urhoy, Babylon & Nineveh


King Nimrod, lion hunting

Right from the heart of the Cradle of Civilization in Beth-Nahreen (Mesopotamia) and thousands of years ago, a great king went forth and founded the city of Urhoy (modern Urfa), Babylon & Nineveh!  The name of this King was Nimrod.

As mentioned in the Bible:  8. Nimrod:  He began to be mighty one in the earth.  9. He was a 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.  11. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah. 12. And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.  (Genesis, 10:8-12).
