The collapse of the Tower of Babel is perhaps the central urban myth. It is certainly the most disquieting. In Babylon, the great city that fascinated and horrified the Biblical writers, people of different races and languages, drawn together in pursuit of wealth, tried for the first time to live together – and failed. Neil MacGregor
The Tower of Babel – today all that can be seen is a pond ... The Tower of Babel was not a round tower, but a square structure. The Babylon Mystery: Nebuchadnezzar, Discovery TV
And they said, Go to, Let us built a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto Heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel. Genesis 11:4&5&9
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. Genesis 11:7
