Did you know...

That long ago, people tried to build a tall tower to reach the heavens?

This story is about the Tower of Babel.

After God made the covenant with Noah, Noah’s descendants increased greatly and one generation succeeded another.

At this time, everyone spoke the same language and used the same words.

As the people migrated eastward, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there.

They began to talk about construction projects. They talked about making great piles of brick and collecting natural asphalt to use as mortar. They were going to build a great city with a high tower that would reach the heavens. They had a lot of pride and wanted to show everyone how great they were. They would build the biggest and best tower ever. “The tower will be a monument to our greatness,” they said.
