Tower of Babel

No one knows for sure if the Tower of Babel ever existed, however, evidence supports the contrary. According to archeologists’ investigations, the ruins of the Tower of Babel exist to this day at the site of ancient Babylon, which is today near Baghdad, in Iraq. They discovered what may be the foundation of the tower, "a square of earthen embankments some three-hundred feet on each side", says a researcher. Biblically, the story says that the tower of Babel was built after the big flood by the descendents of Noah who spoke a universal language. They wanted to unite and be independent from God, so they would build a tower that would reach to heaven. God visited the city and as a punishment to their arrogance, He confused their language, so that they couldn’t underestand each other. They therefore had to disperse and never were able to finish the tower.
