Babieca, is the colloquial name given to those who act in a foolish, childish, immature or stupid way, in the latter case, with the same etymological origin as babieca. It is used for both feminine and masculine, accompanied by the corresponding article. The term is derived from the babbling of babies, who speak haltingly and haltingly, and is also applied to those who suffer from cognitive delay, who falter when speaking. For this reason, babiecas adults are those who behave like babies or like people with disabilities to understand, even if they are fully capable, having in most cases a connotationPejorative, although it can be used as a joke. There is also talk of "being in the fool" when someone is distracted or far from the reality that surrounds them, and, in addition, they are called fools, to those who allow themselves to be manipulated, by third parties, not having their own decisions.

The medieval poet, Gonzalo de Berceo (1198-1264) used the word babieca, in his poem "Life of San Millán de la Cogolla" from 1230.

Examples of use: "You are behaving like a fool, by running away from school during class hours, you are compromising your future", "I was playing a soccer game and the very fool, he ran into a teammate " , “My little babieca, named Bochita, is the most charming dog, but a bit clumsy, that could have been my lucky chance”, or “The employee who assisted me in the store, gave me the wrong merchandise”.

Babieca, is the name of the horse of the Cid Campeador, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, in the Cantar de mio Cid, by an anonymous author, from the beginning of the 13th century. There is no certainty about the choice of Babieca, as the name of the legendary horse. The Spanish philologist, Martín de Riquer (1914-2013) tells us, and his argument is the most accepted, that it was chosen by analogy with the name of the horse of the German Prince William of Orange (1533-1584) that was called "Bauçan". , with the same meaning, in medieval Castilian , of "babieca", which is "fool".

In the Cid's Latin poem, “Carmen Campidoctoris” this horse is not named, saying that it is a war trophy, very fast, that was purchased for a thousand dinars and is of North African origin.

Babylonian concept

Babylonian, is a demonym, which refers to the native of Babylon, a name that is probably derived from the Akkadian expression "bav-ilim" which can be translated as "Gate of the gods". Babylon was a prestigious city of ancient Asian Mesopotamia , with fertile lands, which we can locate where the city of Iraq is today , since its ruins were found there, by the German archaeologist Robert Koldewey, in 1899.

There are many references to Babylon in the Bible, all negative, and it was founded, on the Euphrates River, two thousand two hundred years before Christ, being a place populated by immigrants.

The Sumerians first arrived in Mesopotamia, and then the Akkadians, their Semitic neighbours, men from Arabia, who apparently made their entry non-violently, and erected the rectangular and strongly walled city of Babylon, as your metropolis. The Akkadians adopted many customs from the Sumerians, but they adapted them. For example, its hieroglyphic writing, to cuneiform. A differential practice between Akkadians and Sumerians is that the former did not shave their heads like the latter, and for this reason, they were called "black heads". The beard and mustache were also allowed to grow. Most of the Sumerians settled in the delta, while the Akkadians further north.

The Amorites and Elamites displaced the Akkadians and Sumerians. The best known Amorite king was Hammurabi (1810-1750 BC) during whose reign, from 1792 BC. C, until his death, the country was unified, a compilation of laws was issued, known as the Code of Hammurabi, which established the Law of retaliation, and the Babylonian Empire was founded, with its capital in the city of Babylon.

The Babylonians had a very advanced culture. Its cities had important palaces and temples, with straight lines predominating in their constructions, with tall stepped towers, and exterior decorations with vitrified bricks; and to them we owe the invention of the zodiac and the lunar calendar . They were practical men. Their language was Akkadian, although for worship they used the Sumerian language, their writing system also being Akkadian and Sumerian. Among the gods of his polytheistic religion, Marduk stood out, with powers over all humanity.

In 1531 B.C. C. the city of Babylon was destroyed by the Hittite king Mursili II, coming from Asia Minor, who looted the Sumerian sanctuary. However, it was the Kassites, from the Babylonian northwest, who conquered the country, but not the Assyrians, who became the new masters of Babylon.

In the 7th century BC, Babylon had an extension of 850 hectares, where around half a million Babylonians resided, and its walls were increased by Nebuchadnezzar II, founder of a new Babylonian Empire, who ordered the construction of the famous hanging gardens of Babylon , as an offering to his wife Amytis.

In the sixth century B.C. C, The new conquerors of Babylon, were the Persians, considering Cyrus, King of Babylon, and restorer of justice by order of Marduk.

babism concept

The word babism came to us derived from the Arabic "bāb" which translates as "door", since in the Shiite religion, Bab is the person with the ability to communicate with the hidden Imam; being a religious movement born in Persia (current Iran) that sought access to divinity and its revelations.

This envoy was recognized in the founder of this theological conception , named Siyyid 'Alí-Muhammad (1819-1850), a Persian merchant from Shiraz, a city located in the southwest of Persia, who was named, for that reason, The Báb, being Recognized by his followers, the Bábís, as a messenger of God, his most transcendental mission being that of communicating the coming of the prophet of God, in order to unite all humanity.

The existence of a divine messenger who would soon reach the world was announced in 1830 by the leader of an Islamic sect, that of the shaykhís, named Siyyid Kázim de Rasht, but during his lifetime he could not find it. Yes, one of his followers did, in 1844, Mullá Husayn, who upon arriving in the city of Shiraz, was very well received by Siyyid 'Alí-Muhammad, who was recognized by him as the envoy, after completing certain tests, and also Seventeen more people who accompanied Siyyid Kázim did so.

This religion was born from Islam, but it differed from it, since its sacred book is not the Koran, but the Bayán, the work of the Báb. He maintains that God has made a progressive revelation to men, in the different religions, according to the different historical epochs, to which he adapts.

It is based on a conception of equality between humans, men and women, discarding all prejudice.

The Persian authorities were shocked at the revolutionary nature of these ideas and the credit they deserved among the people, who increasingly joined Babism. The Grand Vizier Amir Kabir ordered his execution by firing squad, which occurred in Tabriz on July 9, 1850. His followers were persecuted and many were killed.

However, the religion continued to be professed, from exile in the Ottoman Empire, and hidden in Persia, where it was illegal; and one of his followers, Mirzá Husayn 'Ali, nicknamed Bahá'u'lláh, which means “The Glory of God” in 1863, announced that it was he, the prophet announced by the Báb, and thus the Bahá'í faith was born, but he had to go into exile in the Israeli city of Akka.
