PETER ORNER
Obadiah
There was no Tower of Babel. It was only fear. The Damara—and hence all people on earth—were born out of a crack in a rock at Kanubes, near Okahandja. There was harmony among all peoples. We all spoke the same language and lived in peace and concord. Then a rumor reached us that death was stalking the land, and all the families fled in different directions into the mountains. Some fled to the Erongos, some to the Waterberg, and some to the Auas Mountains, southeast. Others went still further. That’s more or less how this scattering happened.
