This was the first time that Eos Kavso had come to Mespotamia.
What surprised him was that the center of the world, which was widely rumored by countless people: The city of Babylon was now in ruins and chaos. It happened to be noon, and the wide and huge streets were covered with weeds. Insects would occasionally jump out from under the bricks and tiles of the broken road to look for food. It was supposed to be a bustling commercial market, but now it was not as noisy as it used to be. He walked from the south to the north and saw a few old women in tattered clothes picking up scraps at the side.
The base of the famous demolished Temple of Ettoman Anji was in the distance, its walls cracked by the sun. The bricks began to crumble. The destination of his trip was the Babylonia Academy, which was located next to Nebuchadnezzar's palace. It was a place where scholars from all over the world gathered. Because it had not been repaired all year round, it had already shown signs of crumbling. Along the way, he asked around about the whereabouts of the book, Torah. However, unlike his time in the East, almost everyone in the hinterland of the empire knew about this book, and one of its manuscripts was stored in the private library of the Hebrew prophet Malachi in the school. Now it was in ruins, and the gatekeeper told him that Malachi had left Babylon. So he decided to head west to the temple of Gudusi, where the book originated. He immediately left the city's north gate and saw groups of people on the high ground, horses and carriages carrying large and small packages heading northeast. He went forward to ask.
Where are you going? Eos asked a young man leading a horse.
" The Emperor ordered us to move away from here and help him build a new capital city on the Tigris River in the north. the man replied.
" So Babylon has been abandoned?』
"Yes.』
" Everyone moved there?』
" Something like that. Everyone who can work will go there, including those who are knowledgeable, architects, and managers. They will all move to the new capital.』
Eos nodded and looked at the end of the line. A city that looked almost the same as Babylon sat on the edge of the horizon.
A few days later, in the heart of the new World Capital: Beside the construction site of the Esagila Temple, Eos found the Hebrew scholar named Malaki, who was appointed as the supervisor of the project. When he learned that Eos wanted to inquire about the Torah, the talkative scholar put down his work and began to talk non-stop."I was just angry because I didn't like the people I worked with: The zeal and enthusiasm that should have been inspired by Haggai and Zacharias when they assisted the descendants of Nehemia in completing the final restoration and reconstruction of the temple had been extinguished! Those priests became careless, arrogant, and self-righteous! The temple services became superficial, and the people thought that God no longer cared about Israel!』
"Wait, I'm asking you about the flood. 'Eos said in confusion.
"Listen to me first! It was because of this that I decided to leave Israel and return to Babylon to resume my duties. I would focus on studying Tanaher and the Prophet, but who would have thought that the world would change, and now I would be reduced to being a supervisor of this pagan temple! It's been a long time since I've heard someone ask me about the scriptures, let alone someone like you who has come all the way here to ask for advice!』
" Alright, since you know that I've worked so hard to come here, please answer my question.』
"Aha! How could the people on the ground not know about the flood? Go out and ask around. It's not only the Torah, but also the epic of Atrahasis recorded in Akkadia. There's also the legendary Utenapishtimus who was saved from the flood, and the daughter of Epimeroth and Pandora that you Macedonians should be most familiar with, as well as the great flood that swallowed everything.』
" I'm sorry, I wasn't born in Greece. Although my father told me these stories once or twice, I didn't listen carefully. Later on, he lost interest in talking about it…What I wanted to know more was, if so many people knew about the flood, then did it really happen in this world? And not about some other world?』
" They all know about the flood, but no one can give evidence. Is that what you're trying to say?』
"Yes.』
"Haha! When it comes to evidence, young man, you should continue north. I went to the Black Sea. After many years of research and research, that prolonged flood had drowned everything. The ark of the righteous Noah was docked on Mount Ararat on the Khazar Sea. When the flood completely receded, the Khazar Sea was divided into three large lakes: They were the Black Sea, the Cyrcania Sea, and the Grace Sea.』
" If we go there and find the wreckage of the ark, will we find evidence?』
"Yes! How smart.』
After bidding farewell to the Hebrews scholars, Eos Kafso used the money he had obtained from begging and some money from Malachi to board a sailboat that went upstream. He set off along the Tigris River to Amita. On the boat, Eos heard that the Selegus army had defeated Antiko in Phrygia. Knowing that the road to the Black Sea was unimpeded, he disembarked and made his way by land to the Black Sea port, Pasis.
In the evening, Eos walked out of his residence and went to the seaside to look at the starry sky that was gradually becoming clearer. He was attracted by the outline of the distant mountain range, as if he had fallen into a familiar memory. For several months, he had been trying to find the second key in Akashic Region, but all his attempts had ended in failure. On this land, he followed the clues left behind by his mother. In this chaotic year, the clues finally led him to this quiet place.
According to the legends and myths of various places, the Great Flood recorded in ancient times was very consistent with the memories of the first Istria. Apart from that memory, Eos had also read some of the memories of the planets around that planet. Most of those memories were closely related to Miracle Hill City. His teacher had told him that people with similar memories, people who had lived in the same place, or people with strong emotional ties, such as relatives, friends, or lovers, would always have their memory stars close together. This might be a method used by the managers of Akashic to classify and organize them.
However, these shared memories of the city did not mean anything. After experiencing the memories of billions of different worlds, Eos did not feel that there was anything special about the story of the young girl, except for the last part, where the memory ended after the apocalypse: The surface of the sea was illuminated by countless new stars.
Suddenly, Eos seemed to have realized something. He took a few steps forward, squatted down, and gestured at the dense light spots on the sea surface. The location of the Milky Way. He closed his eyes again and recalled the last scene that Shem saw. The outline of the mountains, the waves of the water, and the stars that slowly rose.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. He fell silent…
The sea breeze made his hair slightly messy, and his eyes were moist.
" In the endless ocean, in the mountains, in the fields, in the deep forest, in the desert…" He wiped his tears with a smile and continued to talk to himself," This is the memory, the last scene.』
It was late at night. He left from the boardwalk beside him and waved in the direction behind him." I understand, Mom. The next one was the mountain stream.』
