Tower of Babel
The Tower of Babel The Tower of Babel was built by the descendants of Noah. ... So they decided to build a tower that would enable them to reach heaven, and make a name for themselves. This tower was called the Tower of Babel, and greatly resembled a multi-storied ziggurat. The builders used baked bricks instead of stone, and tar for mortar to make the tower. ... That is why the Tower is called Babel, because the Lord confused the language of the whole world.
