'''Berossus''' the [[Chaldean]] was a Chaldean of presumably the regions of Babylonia during the third century BC.
=the ''Babylonika''=
His works written in koine Greek, seem to have never been really widely circulated and as such no complete copies are in known existence today. But we do have what is known as ''fragments'', which can be partial documents or quotations taken from other writers. In this case this collection is commonly known as the ''Babylonika'' or ''Babylonica'' depending on the chosen [[transliteration]].
Below is included the entirety of the work, ordered by section as they were taken from the public domain in I.P. Cory Esq.'s compilation and translation which he did as fellow for Caius College, Cambridge, UK. This work was published by William Pickering in 1873 under the title of ''The Ancient Fragments'' which also included the works of [[Sanchoniatho]], [[Abydenus]], [[Megasthenes]] and [[Manetho]].
==Of the Chaldean Kings and the Deluge==
"So much concerning the wisdom of the Chaldeans.<br />"It is said that the first king of the country was Alorus, who gave out a report that he was appointed by God to be Shepherd of the people: he reigned ten sari: no a sarus is esteemed to be three thousand six hundred years; a neros six hundred; and a sossus sixty.<br />"After him Alaparus reigned three sari:"<br />

==Of the Tower of Babel==
''Please help Conservapedia by expanding this section''
"They say that the first inhabitants of the earth, glorying in their own strength and size, and despising the gods, undertook to raise a tower whose top should reach the sky, where Babylon now stands: but when it approached the heaven, the winds assisted the gods, and overturned the work upon its contrivers: and its ruins are said to be at Babylon: and the gods introduced a diversity of tongues among men, who till that time had all spoken the same language: and a war arose between Cronus and Titan: but the place in which they built the tower is now called Babylon, on account of the confusion of the tongues; for confusion is by the Hebrews called Babel."
