No. It was not magical. Every modern language speaker must grow a broccas area to acquire language and this structure drives thinking. It leads it in a single dimension. Modern language speakers are fundamentally and structurally different than Ancient Language speakers. Most differences are subtle but the affect on behavior is total. The effect on the operation of the brain is utter.
The "tower of babel" is the only way we know of an event where Ancient Language was abandoned in favor of modern language because it had grown so complex there were too few individuals to operate the state. The state had to go or the language had to go.
The Tower of Babel is a story, presented in the context of a religion, attempting to explain why there were already so many different languages. There is no evidence it was a real event and no evidence that language changed like throwing a switch. There is no evidence for your "Ancient Language". At best, all I can determine is that it appears to be something you just made up.
it is something that he made up.
Cladking fabricated his own version of the Tower of Babel myth…in which he believed to happen 4000 years ago or 2000 BCE.
The problem is that he believe that the Tower of Babel had caused the speciation event, between the Ancient Language of the Homo sapiens which he originally thought were the Nephilim in Ancient Reality thread) to the multiple pidgin languages of the nonexistent species of the Homo Omnisciensis.
There are no such species, and yet he persistently preach this nonsense.
Historically multiple languages have already existed in the Middle East prior to this 2000 BCE nonexistent & nonsensical Tower of Babel of his: Egyptian (which included both hieroglyphs & hieratic writing, invented prior to 3000 BCE), Sumerian (cuneiform), Akkadian, Amorite, Elamite and many more languages. The Akkadians and Amorites spoke their own Semitic languages, during the 3rd millennium BCE, were already living in Sumer, have adopted the cuneiform writing as their own, as did the Elamites living east of Sumer, in northwest Iran.
The cuneiform writing were so popular that it continued to be used when spoken Sumerian language have died out, and it spread east and west, beyond Mesopotamia, in the next 2 millennia. Various eastern Anatolian cultures have adopted cuneiform, including the Hittites. It was also used along the coasts of the ancient Levant (Syria, Lebanon & Palestine), particularly Ugarit, and the Canaanites, prior to advent of alphabet writings in the late 2nd millennium BCE.
Although spoken ancient Aramaic were spoken including in the Persian Empire of the late 6th century BCE, Old Persian were written in cuneiform. Neo-Assyrian empire and the Chaldean Neo-Babylonian empire have also adopted Aramaic, but still used the Sumerian cuneiform.
Throughout the history of ancient Mesopotamia, the Sumerians, and later the Babylonians and Assyrians, have opened scribe schools, for apprentices to learn to write cuneiform.
languages - spoken & written - were always changing over time.
We know as cities and towns grow, became larger, different writing systems were invented and used.
In Egypt, hieroglyphs were mainly used by priesthood and royals, including funerary texts (eg Pyramid Text in the late 3rd millennium BCE, and the Coffin Texts of early 2nd millennium BCE), but they were too time-consuming & cumbersome for the rest of Egyptian society. The hieratic scripts were invented as early as 3000 BCE, which were far more useful, especially bookkeeping of inventories.
