One language on earth One to another Come, let us build up Let us make for us City and tower God came down City and tower see what man built Come, let us confuse One to another Many languages on earth Note the structure on its side and its similarity to ancient stepped- pyramid temples (houses built to meet the gods and/or reach heavens like Babel in other ancient pagan religions)

One language on earth One to another Come, let us build up Let us make for us City and tower God came down City and tower see what man built Come, let us confuse One to another Many languages on earth

One language on earth One to another Come, let us build up Let us make for us City and tower God came down City and tower see what man built Come, let us confuse One to another Many languages on earth

Ancient clay tablets instructing future kings of Babylon to rebuild Babel. Some believe Hammurabi rebuilt it around the time of Jacob in Genesis (see Bodie Hodge, The Tower of Babel, p. 62)

Reconstruction of tower in Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar (“house … of heaven and earth”) Associated with the temple of Marduk, Esagila (“the building whose top is in heaven”)

Saddam Hussein hoped to rebuild the tower (note the Babel symbol on Iraqi currency)

Ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia

Great Ziggurat at UR Zigurrat remains in Ur from time of Abraham, ca BC (modern Iraq, upper destroyed levels re-drawn above)

Ziggurat-style “step pyramid” remains in Saqqara Egypt from before the time of Abraham (built not long after Babel)

Later Mayan “house of gods” (temple) Similar structure with stairway to worship

U.S. government building in Laguna Niguel, CA, Chet Holifield Federal Building (also called “the Ziggurat Building”)

“The Ziggurat” West Sacramento, from river, headquarters of CA Department of General Services

The European Parliament building in France was modeled after an unfinished Tower of Babel from Bruegel’s famous painting (on the left), as one writer said, ‘in the symbolic hope of ending the curse of linguistic limitation’

European Union poster (on right) modeled after classic painting of Babel (on left)

Closer view of European Union poster (note the crane in the background and reference to Genesis 11 in the lower right: “many tongues, one voice,” their hope to reunite like Genesis 11, to resume what God stopped?)
