There is one well known story described in Genesis 11:3-4 " 3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."" (TNIV). The basic idea looks like this (standard description in the literature): people have become too bold and decided to construct a tower up to the sky, to take hold of the sky or just simply to show themselfes and to remain in memory of millions... A god was scared of changes in authority and divided languages for that they couldn’t reach him (I write "god" from the small letter since the history is silly and does not match the real Almighty God). Such treatment has seemed to me doubtful, and I have decided to dig more deeply.
In Hebrew "a tower that reaches to the heavens" sounds as "... migeddal werosho beshshamaim ...", that means "... A tower and its head in the sky..." This case occurred in Babylon, which since olden days was famous for two towers-ziggurats named Esagila and Etemenanki. " E " in Sumerian means "temple", "sag" – “head”, and "il (u)" - akkadized word "an", that means "sky". Thus the main object of worship in Babylon had a name " a temple (tower) " a head of the sky " ". Also the archaeology does not find some other towers there... So it is necessary to choose from present ones...
One more point: the word "name" in Hebrew means object of worship, instead of process of being pride of yourself, as in the western civilization. If we put all these facts together we can have such a picture: after a flood people have dried up, then greatly multiplied (Nimrod, the fourth generation after Noah, was the first Lord in Babylon (chapter 10), it is 300-400 years after a flood, considering, that then they lived long and gave birth to children late, in addition Nimrod had to grow up till that moment), already had something built, and decided to create a name for themselves for worship. Unfortunately, it was not the name of That God Which has created them and fed. From now on the system of pagan beliefs has been created and the first cult construction (not important how tall it was, focus is in the name, instead of being in size) is constructed. It both has upset the God, and has served the reason, instead of "fear of poor little deity for his power" for disbandment of this primitive collective...
At first sight the idea is simple, but has demanded about a year of studying...
