[Avodah] tower of bavel

[Eli Turkel]

According to simple pshat all mankind lived in Bavel until the tower
of Bavel and following
dispersion. According to the standard chronology this occurred shortly
before the year 2000
from creation i.e. some 3800 years ago.

1. Noach, Shem, Ever, Abraham were all alive no one seemed to have any influence
especially since everyone there was a descendent of Noach (and Shem?)

2. Avraham goes to Canaan some 25 years later. At that time Ur, and most
of mesoptamia and Caanan and Eygpt is well populated with kings and
major governments etc. According to the parsha this all occurred
within an exceeding short time.

In general were there any people in EY before the dispersion?

3. The usual question of secular records that indicate dynasties older
than 3800 years old
some in the middle east and some far away.

Thanks
