The tower of Babel is a biblical illusion but it tells the pride and arrogance of man and an angry god perhaps vengeful.
This building is key in the Bible once mentioned in the book considered sacred by many institutions and societies such as churches and even by Freemasonry; It is the legend of the Tower of Babel.
They say that at the beginning of the earth they only spoke in a single language, the supposedly people of the town, children of noe had emigrated to the east, finding the senaar plain, settling there, that's when they began to plan the construction of a city of tower so high that it could touch the heavens and make them famous.
the tower began its construction, it was an act of ambition and arrogance, of wanting to pass over its god, Yahweh.
Yahweh, the god of earthly men and creator of the universe, descended to Senaar; He seemed very angry. He observed the still unfinished tower and said: "Behold, they all form one people and all speak the same language, this being the beginning of their companies. Nothing will prevent them from carrying out everything they set out to do. Well, let's go down and confuse your language right there, so that you do not understand each other ".
At that time the construction of the tower and the city was interrupted, Yahweh had unleashed his fury confusing them with different languages. He showed them that nobody had more authority than him.
Why do I know it called Tower of Babel? The word Babel has a clear and concise etymology. It derives from the Hebrew verb 'balbál' and that means to confuse. For that reason the tower was named after him, because that would be where Yahweh would confuse the languages of all the men of the planet and spread them on it.
The Tower of Babel represents the dissemination of the more than 7000 languages existing in the world and the beginning of communication as a persistent human phenomenon to the present. It also involves the sin of the arrogance of wanting to be like God and invites to wander the option that we are 'governed' by a vengeful god.
