in Ancient Word Origins and Semantics - Ever wonder about the origin of the
word 'Cannibal'? Source of Definitions
Hislop, Rev. Alexander. The Two Babylons, or the Papal Worship: Proved
to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife. Loizeaux Brothers: Neptune, New
Jersey. 1959. NOTE! I Do Not Necessarily Agree With These
Conclusions! Semantic accuracy is not guaranteed, and I do not guarantee
the accuracy of my attempt to gather and interpret in summary any of the following
information formated from my study of Hislop's book, The Two Babylons.
The following is simply a list of definitions according to my understanding of
what Hislop's thinking according to my notes taken during my in depth study of
the book The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop.
