Atlas Mountains extend
for 1,500 miles (2,410 kilometers) across northwestern Africa.
They run from Cape Rhir on the Atlantic Ocean to Cape Bon on
the Mediterranean Sea, and cross part of Morocco, Algeria, and
Tunisia. They were named for Atlas, the Greek Titan. The Atlas
Mountains are made up of several chains that run from southwest
to northeast. The southern chains are the Grand, or High, Atlas
and Anti-Atlas in Morocco and the Saharan Atlas in Algeria. The
northern Atlas chains rise along the Mediterranean coast: the
Rif Atlas in Morocco; the Tell Atlas in Algeria; and the Tunisian
Atlas. The highest peaks in the Atlas Mountains include Jebel
Toubkal (13,665 ft., or 4,165 m) and Irhil M'Goun (13,356 ft.,
or 4,071 m) in Morocco's Grand Atlas. Plant life of the northern
regions resembles that of Mediterranean Europe. Some sections
are heavily forested. Only scrubby vegetation grows on the southern
slopes. > World Book Multimedial Enyclopedia | www.encyclopedia.com | Photos at www.raingod.com

BABYLON 
from
the poem Back to Babylon
Great city of the ancient world,
capital of the empire of Babylonia, on the banks of the Euphrates
River near the present-day city of Al Hillah, Iraq. The city
also served as the religious center of Babylonia, and the word
Babylon means gate of the god. Records first mention Babylon
about 2200 B.C. The name of Babylon is connected with two famous
kings: Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, also to the Hanging Gardens
(one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and Tower of Babel.
According to the Bible (Genesis
11: 1-9.), Noah's descendants settled in southern Mesopotamia
after the great Flood. They started to build a great city, including
a tower that would reach to heaven. But God did not want the
city completed, so He made the builders speak different languages.
The builders then could not understand one another, and so they
stopped working and scattered over the earth. The ancient Hebrews
used this account to explain the origin of languages.>
World Book Multimedial Enyclopedia | gatewaystobabylon.com
According to Rastafarian ideology,
everything that is against the vision of Love and Unity, is called
Babylon or Babylon System. This comes from the Biblical Babylon.
Rasta's see Babylon as the cause of slavery, downpressors, apartheid,
war, destruction of nature, etc., so mainly the Western society
of today. Songtexts in reggae music are often about the destruction
of Babylon. > Rasta

-- capital, largest city, and chief industrial center of Northern
Ireland; a division of the United Kingdom. The city lies on Belfast
Lough, a bay at the mouth of the River Lagan on Northern Ireland's
eastern coast, established by English and Scottish settlers as
a trading center in 1613. During the 1800's, Belfast became an
industrial city and major port. From 1801 until 1920, what are
now Northern Ireland and Ireland formed one political division
of the United Kingdom. In 1920, Ireland became independent. Northern
Ireland remained a part of the United Kingdom, and Belfast became
the capital of Northern Ireland. Since the late 1960's, there
has been much tension between Protestants and Roman Catholics
in Belfast over civil rights and political control of Northern
Ireland. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) and other militant groups
have carried out bombings and other terrorist activities in Belfast.

speakers of a Celtic languages, which include Breton, Irish,
Welsh, and Scottish Gaelic. The oldest known evidence of the
Celts comes from Hallstatt, Austria, near Salzburg. By about

the British Isles. They also settled in northern Italy and raided
as far south as Rome, which they looted in 390 B.C. During the
300's and 200's B.C., some Celtic groups moved into the Balkans.
Between about 300 B.C. and about A.D. 100, the Romans conquered
much of Europe. The only Celts who preserved their own culture
were those of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, southwest England, and
Brittany in northwest France. > World Book Multimedial Enyclopedia | wikipedia.org
