Feg, that is what I am after. With antediluvian society, I have the ancients advancing and leaving the earth. After the flood, though, I did not leave too much time for Nimrod's society to actually advance any further than it did in OTL. However, since God stopped their technology (in OTL) because they were on a roll (so they could 'do whatever they could imagine - Gen. 11:6), it would be interesting to see how much would be "imagined" before the great minds got scattered in the rebellion.

We know from history that the Sumerian, Egyptian, and Indian civilizations arose within a short period of each other. Few can explain where the Sumerian culture came from. And so, if the first civilization had advanced further, maybe they would have had "flying machines" in Mesopotamia, for instance. Or electricity? What do you think?
