Nimrod is mentioned in the Bible as the great-grandson of Noah and the son of Cush. More here about him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod

“In some versions (as in Flavius Josephus), Nimrod is a man who sets his will against that of God. In others, he proclaims himself a god and is worshipped as such by his subjects, sometimes with his consort Semiramis worshipped as a goddess at his side. (See also Ninus.)”

Women usually aren’t mentioned in the Bible unless they’ve played some direct and important role.

Their son, Tammuz, was a Babylonian god and even one of the months of the Jewish calendar came to named after him!

Take the time to research the pagan origins of the American holidays like Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and others and you’ll find they almost always lead back to them.
