They built the tower of Bable in opposition to God - he said to fill the Earth. When he confused the languages they went in different directions. Also why many cultures have similar customs, building methods and stories of the gods. They would have taken that around the world.

[@andrewharper1609]

Slight problem with your theory. God did not confuse the languages. Cuneiform was used to write down something like three different languages including ancient Hittite, Sumerian and Akkadian if I recall correctly. The reason many different cultures have similar stories of the Gods is actually because they traded with each other and invaded one another.

[@nichhodge8503]

What I want to know is if Yahweh is all knowing then he should have known they would’ve never reached the heavens. The tallest building today is the Burj Khalif which is 828m tall that’s 172m shy of 1km and space is 100km (62 miles) straight up. Using mud bricks would have never been able to support the load of the building not to mention that the higher they go the air gets thinner, the oxygen level drops and the temperature drops too. They wouldn’t even be able to stand there let alone work there. So let’s say they reach space (forgetting all the problems from being able to breath, not freeze to death and that their building design and materials work) not only do you have to take 100km/62 miles of stairs up as there is no elevators they would be so disheartened when all they see is black (not mention there’s no air or gravity). They would think how much further must we go to reach the heavens? Yahweh being all knowing would know all this so there is no reason to stop them and split everyone up but changing their language, just let them go as they wouldn’t have reached the Burj Khalif’s 828m let alone the heavens. That’s why this story always seemed stupid to me and just comes across as man’s excuse to why do we have so many different languages

Throughout history, when people in large region become unified, their capabilities are indeed amplified. They become capable of great projects such as the Great Wall or The city of Constineople. However, these large empires were also responsible for some of the greatest catastrophes in human history. With a unified people, the power that such unification brings tend to rest in the hands of the few who govern them. The holders of such powers rarely use it responsibly.

[@DrWongburger]

Yes that is most correct. In Chinese traditions, the idea of the mandate of heaven overlaps with these very same concepts. The powers that be exist purely because of this concept of a mandate of heaven. Similar to the later European Christian concept of 'God's will be done'. Of course this was meant to legitimize actions or political events in Europe, while in China the concept was used to legitimize dynasties. With the Chinese it was and in some places still is believed that should the present rulers fail this mandate, the gods and goddesses of heaven will make clear this disapproval. Perhaps even by natural disasters, famines, or war. Sounds much like God himself of the Christian tradition.

[@RuiWang-zm2ue]

@@DrWongburger Best to just divide up the powers for now so that we don't end up with a one world government that fails on an apocalyptic scale. I'm sure humanity can come together after we have all evolved for a few more millennia or so.

[@DrWongburger]

@@RuiWang-zm2ue Maybe so, maybe so. Do not get me wrong, I care for my national identity, and I even may have some undue sinful pride about it. However a critical analysis of the era of nationalism stirs something in me. By far, the age of nationalism along with all the other -isms have clearly been the most tumultuous and deadly era of our collective existence. Of course correlation doesn't equal causation, though I cannot help believe the link between the spread of nationalism and how much deadly our warfare has become is pure coincidence. Wars went from thousands dead, to millions in a span of a few short relative years. Focus in warfare had also shifted from a focus on opposing forces to a focus on civilian populations. Many people across the world have died only for the sake of nationhood. Much more than in most of the wars past. I suspect many more shall follow as we watch Ukraine (another example though a complex one), shed its blood for the sake of nationhood. Globalized governance may be a pipe dream of the power hungry, but perhaps it may also usher in a new era of peace free from petty conflicts. As for whether God would want this of us? Well, Thy will be done.

[@RuiWang-zm2ue]

@@DrWongburger when nations stop fighting one another and learn to live together in peace, globalized governance will come into being naturally. If you allow a boiling mixture to cool, it will eventually settle into a homogenized state. However, if you try to compress it while it is still hot, the whole thing might blow up in your face.

In the Bible, the reason why the tower of Bable was bad was because after the flood, god told humans to spread over the whole earth. The tower was made in direct defiance of that heavenly order. Also in the Book of Jasher it mentions the mind set of the builders. It says that there were 3 schools of thought among them, 1 group wanted to reach heaven to fight with god, the other group wanted to reach heaven so they could replace god with their own idols, the last group wanted to get to heaven to kill god. When god sent his angels to destroy the tower, he made all the people who wanted to kill god die by falling, being burned in the fires the angels set in the tower or die by the hand of humans in the confusion. The group that wanted to replace god with their own idols were turned into wild animals by the angels. The first group who wanted to fight with god had their languages confused and the ones who were scattered.

The tower of babel reached an eye watering height of 8,150 feet based on the texts. It dwarfs anything standing today.

So the ancient standing stone structures that have writing inside, and many of the writings around the world that cannot be decipherd. Some of them were pre flood. Which I find extremely interesting.

[@alanamurray2970]

I think the mixing up of language is similar to what often happens in committee/team/relationships where ideas, values, philosophies, ideals, etc come to the surface and are shown to be very different. So while there may be a common idea of sorts to start a project, in this case build a tower, the cohesion among the group falls apart as their opinions vary so greatly, ie politics. We see it happening again and again. Even between two people who love each other but whose values may be worlds apart making them incompatible, ie kids or not, high life or quiet life, this country or that.

[@ruthienelson3682]

[@miketrissel5494]

Something you may have missed. This was about 100 years after the flood of Noah. 8 people were saved while millions of disobedient people died. Those that died were disobedient. They didn't want to obey God. After the flood, this same spirit developed. People wanted to do their own thing, and not have to obedient to God. Civilization (Noah's Family) followed the Tigress River valley south out of the Mountains of Ararat. With abundant water and crop land, it was great, but the seasonal flooding was used by leadership, (Nimrod), to bring fear upon people as a threat from God. They built escape platforms, solid structures, as escape ramps from rising water. Ziggurats had no internal rooms. Anywhere civilization moved after that in the vicinity of water had these 'flood prevention' escapes on the outside. This may help you elaborate on what you are finding.

[@knoeffort3443]

Explain?

[@ghostgate82]

It wasn’t a tower, it was a ziggurat. It had nothing to do with physical height, but rather, summoning deity. They wanted to summon the Creator and have Him answer for destroying the earth with the flood. The Israelites understood that what the 200 Watchers did was a *bad* thing. The Mesopotamians thought that what the Watchers (they called them Apkallu) did was a *good* thing.

[@TheLordJosh]

Where do you learn this?

[@jeffreypotter4125]

I agree. Although there isn't a large amount of written eyewitness accounts of the migration to Sumer from Arartu, one can assume from the tower accounts in Genesis and other non canon texts that most of Noah's descendants had turned away from the Creator. Couple this reasoning with Sumerian texts that evidence a strong cultural desire for knowledge of technologies known only to the gods (the Mes), and then consider the Enochian texts that claim every technological advances man knew before the flood was taught him by the watchers;. Post flood, man only retained a portion of that knowledge, and became resentful. The tower was built to call new watchers from the heavens. And man continued to build them, on every continent, after the confusing of tongues.

It features Nimrod who goes to the top of the tower and defiantly fires an arrow at the heavens (an element taken from a Jewish story, if I remember it correctly).

He created us with free will to make our own paths. So any evil that befalls us would be of our own making. Yeah, in the bible he's occasionally helped out, but most of the time he tries not to get involved, or at least is only involved indirectly. So breaking into his domain is like saying 'hey, we're not satisfied, get down here', and if you've read the bible he has emotions. He can get irritated.

In medieval Irish mythology chronicled in the Book of Conquests, written by various authors, the Tower of Babel was the basis of the appearance of the Goidelic language, id est the ancient Irish version of Celtic. Supposedly, one Fennius Farsaid, a great-grandson of Noah, amalgamated elements of all the newly formed languages (47 languages) into the Goidelic tongue, which was then passed on for centuries until it was brought over into Ireland. One account tells that Fennius discovered the language written on a slab near the ruins of the tower alongside Aramaic, Greek and Latin, but Fennius chose to utilize Goidelic for his people because it was the purest of all other languages. I guess the Luck of the Irish was a boon first started with their initial lingua franca.

And they said, go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered aboard upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them aboard from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
