Can the ancient gods be linked to two historical figures? Was the Biblical story of Noah's flood altered to support the idea of baptismal regeneration? What are the origins of fire and sun worship, and is it present in a modern religion that has gained worldwide popularity? If these questions intrigue you, I strongly recommend reading "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop.
Originally published in 1853, Hislop establishes the foundation of ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Babylonians, revealing that their ancient customs stemmed from Nimrod's perversion after the flood. This perversion aimed to replace humanity's strong connection with God, severing that relationship through idolatry and paganism, issues the world continues to grapple with today.
Here are some of the topics you will read about if you purchase this book:
