The Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel, according to the Book of Genesis, was an enormous tower built in the plain of Shinar. According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower 'with its top in the heavens..lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth'. God came down to see what they did and said: 'They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do'. So God said, 'Come, let us go down and confound their speech'. And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel 'because God there confounded the language of all the Earth'.(Genesis 11:5-8). The Tower of Babel has often been associated with known structures, notably the Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated to Marduk by Nabopolassar (c. 610 BC). The Great Ziggurat of Babylon base was square (not round), 91 metres (300 ft) in height, but demolished by Alexander the Great. A Sumerian story with some similar elements is preserved in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta.

Título:
The Tower of Babel.
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La Torre de Babel, según el Libro del Génesis, era una enorme torre construida en la llanura de Sinar. Según el relato bíblico, una humanidad unida de las generaciones posteriores al Diluvio Universal, hablando una sola lengua y emigrando del oriente, llegó a la tierra de Sinar, donde resolvieron edificar una ciudad con una torre 'con su cúspide en el cielos... para que no seamos esparcidos sobre la faz de la tierra'. Dios bajó para ver lo que hacían y dijo: 'Son un solo pueblo y tienen una sola lengua, y nada les será negado lo que se propongan hacer'. Entonces Dios dijo: 'Venid, bajemos y confundamos su habla'. Y así los esparció Dios sobre la faz de la tierra, y confundió sus lenguas, y dejaron de edificar la ciudad, que fue llamada Babel 'porque allí confundió Dios la lengua de toda la tierra'. (Génesis 11:5-8) . La Torre de Babel a menudo se ha asociado con estructuras conocidas, en particular el Etemenanki, un zigurat dedicado a Marduk por Nabopolassar (c. 610 a. C.). La base del Gran Zigurat de Babilonia era cuadrada (no redonda), de 91 metros (300 pies) de altura, pero fue demolida por Alejandro Magno. Una historia sumeria con algunos elementos similares se conserva en Enmerkar y el Señor de Aratta.
