The Babylon angle

Glastonbury Tor made a surprisingly strong Babylon "scene" - we are so used to having Babylon towers in almost all Olympics.

The hill is really worth noting for the fact that the castle is missing...

...as was mentioned by Bob Schlenker a few days back.

The tree on the Olympic version represents the underworld as proven by the fact (at least to me, anyway) the coal miners (who work in the mines underground, obviously) came up magically from under the uplifted tree...

The underworld (also the name of the musical producers for the evening by no coincidence) is one of the big 2012 themes; doesn't that make you just a bit squeamish?  What lives in the underworld that you want to be a part of?  Chained nephilim?  people in hell?

When the miners came out at first, I honestly thought they were going to be zombies and would immediately pounce on the pagan kids playing on the maypole and the Celtic villagers picking vegetables.

But I digress.  Glastonbury Tor is kind of a Babylon.  For one thing, it looks like the tower of Babylon:

Moreover, Glastonbury Tor used to have a tower atop of it that crashed to the ground when an earthquake struck in the 1200's on a 9/11 date!

In Camelot - Arthur rides a white horse and of course, there's Babylon

Bats Out of Hell

Both Meat Loaf albums feature a bat on top of a building (the bottom one obviously looking something similar to the building below...)

Making Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell II worth scrutinizing, especially since Big Ben appears to be in the background of the album cover:

Meat Loaf was born in the U.S.!

Much more coming - check back often.

The Eyeful Tower/Tower of Babylon

Officially known as "ArcelorMittal Orbit"...

The ArcelorMittal Orbit compared to artist's rendition of the Tower of Babel

The Europeans are fascinated with the Tower of Babel.  The European Union parliament building also resembles the Tower of Babel:

Trying to recreate the tower of Babylon (or EYEful tower - again bringing back the "all seeing eye" or Horus concept) only adds to the perplexity of proof piled up against those involved in the various preparations so that 2012 is going to be all it's cracked up to be.

After all, we've been told ad nauseum that 2012 is the "end of the Mayan calendar/end of the world."
