What is the Meaning Behind the Legendary Tower of Babel (Video)
by N.Morgan
One of the many intriguing stories in the Book of Genesis is the Tower of Babel, a tall construction made in Babylonia after the Deluge. The gist of the story is: All human beings used to speak the same language. As they came to settle in Mesopotamia, they decided to build a city with a tower to reach the heavens. Through this endeavor, mankind intended to create a name for himself. God, however, had other plans. Mankind’s language was confused, and they were scattered over the earth. As a result, the city and the tower were never completed. Regardless of whether you believe this story actually took place, there are several interesting ways of looking at it.
A Literal Approach to the Tower of Babel Story
One way of approaching the story is the literal approach. If one accepts that the Tower of Babel was a historical fact, then it would be expected that some sort of remains or ruins of the tower would exist. This, however, has not been identified by archaeology. The closest candidate for the Tower of Babel may perhaps be the Etemenanki of Babylon . This was a ziggurat dedicated to Marduk, the patron god of Babylon. It has been claimed that this structure was the inspiration for the Tower of Babel. Given that ziggurats were found in Mesopotamia, the setting of the story, and that they were monumental structures, it is not too difficult to see how they may have been used in the story of the Tower of Babel.
Did the Tower of Babel Exist?
In 2017, Andrew George, a professor of Babylonia at the University of London, reported that he believes he has found solid evidence for the Tower of Babel in an ancient baked tablet from the city of Babylon. The baked clay tablet shows what the ziggurat looked like, with its seven steps. It shows the king with his conical hat and staff. And below is text that describes the commissioning of the tower’s construction.

Dr. George said:
“This is a very strong piece of evidence that the tower of Babel story was inspired by this real building. At the top … there is a relief depicting a step tower and … a figure of a human being carrying a staff with a conical hat on. Below that relief is a text which has been chiseled into the monument, and the label is easily read. It reads: Etemenanki, Ziggurat Babel. And that means ‘the Ziggurat or Temple Tower of the City of Babylon.’ The building and its builder on the same relief.”
The people enlisted to construct the tower, are translated by Dr. George as, “From the Upper Sea [Mediterranean] to the Lower Sea [Persian Gulf] the Far-Flung Lands and Teeming Peoples of the Habitations.”
Experts had already thought King Nebuchadnezzar II actually did build a ziggurat in Babylonia after he established the city as his capital. The tablet provides more evidence. Archaeologists also think the tower of Babel was 300 feet (91 meters) along the sides and 300 feet (91 meters) tall. Only a fraction of the building remains, scattered and broken.
What Does the Tower of Babel Symbolize?
Regardless of the question of the tower’s existence, another way to examine the Tower of Babel story is through the symbolic approach. The context of the story, i.e. the story of the Tower of Babel being recorded in the Book of Genesis , would make it reasonable to expect a religious message behind it. It has been suggested that the Tower of Babel is a symbol for humanity’s vanity. For instance, the use of brick and mortar represent pride in man-made materials. Thus, the use of these materials over stone and tar, which are natural and more durable materials, may be read as mankind’s misplaced confidence in his own abilities.
Thus, the Tower of Babel may be seen as a monument to mankind’s ability and achievement. Man is promptly reminded of his frailty when God decides to confuse their languages and scatter them. While some regard this story as a warning against the sin of pride, others would prefer to question the kind of God that is being portrayed in the story. Regardless, the story seems to convey a notion of doom and gloom for humanity .

Can the Tower of Babel Explain Worldwide Diversity?
Another way of viewing this story, however, may shine a more positive light on the Tower of Babel. Instead of being a lesson against pride, this may be a tool to explain the diversity of peoples in the world . After all, the chapter preceding the story of the Tower of Babel deals with the various nations that descended from the sons of Noah. This etiological approach, in which myths are used to explain human conditions, is visible in many other cultures. For instance, in the mythology of the Blackfoot Indians , Old Man, the creator, gave different colored water to people to drink. As a result, different peoples began to speak different languages. Without the knowledge that we possess today, these myths would have served to throw light on the great mysteries of life. Besides, they make pretty good camp-fire stories.
Although the language was confused, and mankind scattered across the world, I can’t help but think that we’ve come full circle, almost at least. Take this article as an example. It will probably be read by people from different parts of the world. In that sense, we are connected, rather than scattered. Also, through translations, we are able to overcome language barriers. Moreover, at times we may even communicate through empathy, without the need for speech.
Yet, there’s one part of the story we have not achieved. The people in the story of the Tower of Babel were working together to build a monument. Sadly, human beings aren’t quite doing that today. Wars, the exploitation of the poor, and human trafficking are just some examples of the ways in which we are destroying our fellow man/woman, instead of cooperating with him/her. Perhaps it’s time we finish building the Tower of Babel.

Hello Angle #3,
Charlie here. The only thing I got out of this story was that God was the inventor of language. Not man and that God acknowledged that when men set their mind to do something he will accomplish it and that we might have been too early for that.
It is my belief it is why the ENTIRE UNIVERSE was invented (or maybe unleashed) because that is the only thing that could contain man from everlasting to everlasting is mind power is so great.
As you know the “heavens” cannot be measured and we wil have all eternity to conquer it. The home base will always be earth.
Sorry for getting Star Trekkie on you, but it is my beleif I have just described to you – the DOUGHNUT!
If you notice a doughnut is round. Round things can roll forever. It’s endless. Someone once said men like round things. The Earth is round, the moon is round, balls are round. beer bottles are round, and girls bodies are basically round stuff.
So, could it be why we like doughnuts? Have we missed the symbolism? I dunno……
Signed
Charlie (Your guide to the everlasting doughnut.)

And it is here the “Jews” (of the poisonous J/Yew tree) comes into play also, them Star Trek Borg. It is not a people; it is all peoples in a slave form. (They reject the Negroes because they are not that bright in general.)
They still use them Negroes though to dumbing down Nations with their cultural Marxism/Communism.

I have just answered:
What Does the Tower of Babel Symbolize?
N. Morgan you are Jewish right? And you don’t know about your true Master, really? St.Francis of Assisi.
Forced Diversity = forced dumbing down, in order to being able to slaughter us.
What Zionism is? = Judaism is Communism; = Communism is a Satanic Cult at the top.
No people wants Communism, only the controllers (and the Owners) of that system wants it. Communism
can not survive without a dishonest media (propaganda) a.k.a. FAKE NEWS.

The Q movement are waking up many young people to a certain degree; and is competing with Mr. David
Icke himself; that said “The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do
Nothing”.
You know David Icke’s publishing company was Lucis Trust closely tied to “the new age religion” the
NWO and the UN? Does he ever menetion that? No never. Patrick Wood that wrote about Technocracy
Rising and co wrote books with Antony C. Sutton
also at one time had Lucis Trust as publishing company, but he is open about that.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against

The “Stupid” or false lightbearer that leads his flock over the cliff = Satan; I think that in the
Bible they talk about several Satan; trial and error?
The Lucis Trust is a nonprofit service organization incorporated in the United States in 1922 by

´Francis of Assisi – The name “Francis” is a nickname and was never his proper name–simply meaning
“Frenchman” — on account of his birth in Paris. Similarly, “Assisi” is a deliberate corruption of
the ancient word for the location Ascesi meaning “(he) has ascended”. Therefore the fuller nickname
“Francis of Assisi” properly translates to “the Ascended Frenchman”.´

Satanism is not “just another nutty occult fad.” It has been the, “Old Religion” since the beginning
of time.
The other most important aspect of the Galla – the priests of the ancient system Of Cybele and
Adonis, The State Religion of the Roman Empire – Roman Catholic priests and their continuation of the
worship of Cybele, is the distinction between celibacy and an abstinence of sex.
The Galla ritually cut off their genitals so they could no longer perform sexual acts as men.
This, however, did not preclude them from having sex – quite the opposite. It opened the door for
‘sacred’ homosexual acts where the Galla were sodomized during various rituals and celebrations as
Dog Priests.
Such homosexuality was considered so sacred that the promotion and practice of homosexuality outside
of a religious context, was frowned upon by the priests and supporters of Cybele – open homosexuality
was considered an affront to its sacred and ancient nature.
Elite Cybelean Gallae Homosexual Rite. At first, I didn’t know what to call the elite Satanic
Homosexual Rituals spreading across the nation. I suspected all along that these were ancient Roman
Religious homosexual rituals, but I didn’t have a name. Transvestism, global conquest, secret blood
sacrifices among an ultra powerful secret royal and imperial elite, it all fits in with CYBELE – the
basis of Catholicism.
The Franks were Satanists performing Satanic Rituals in underground Temples which eventually
gravitated under the Cathedral of Notre Dame (Cybele) in Paris. Like the Romans, they saw that the
eradication of Satanism and the promotion of Christianity in their enemies would give them a
competitive advantage over all the future, whilst retaining Satanism in their own families. Satanism
is a created Religion. Its Satanic Rituals of Blood, Sex, Drugs and Human Sacrifice are designed to
create narcissistic psychopaths who will do anything to be a winner.

Lugano is not in Italy or in Switzerland, and is a kind of twilight zone for shady flight capital
operations. George Ball, who owns a large block of stock in BSI, is a prominent “insider” and the
bank’s US representative.
In the secret 1822 Treaty of Verona (between Austria, France, Prussia and Russia) the Jesuits agreed
to smash the US Constitution and suppress the freedom of the US. Their methods included destroying
free speech, destroying by Fake Newsing the press – universal censorship, sustaining the cooperation
of the Pope and clergy to use religion to help keep nations in passive obedience and financing wars
against countries with representative governments.
The monarchs who signed this treaty were ultimately deposed. Most of these families are very wealthy
and may be more powerful today than when they sat upon thrones. They are known collectively as the
Black Nobility. Privately these families refuse to recognize any right to rule except their own. They
are working to use their creations Communism/Socialism and Fascism to create poverty and new
feudalism to manage the World of the New World Order – the name of Hitler’s second book.
1. Communism and Socialism were created by British Secret Services David Urquhart who employed Karl
Marx to write Das Kapital from his office in the British National Library in London. Later, Agents
Lenin and Stalin used Eugenics and Lysenkoism to kill 60 million people. Communist Mao was taught at
Yale, put into power by the CIA and was a 33rd degree Freemason. He killed 80 millions and execution
evisceration vans still send organs of religious people and dissenters to rich Oligarchs.
2 Fascism and Nazism was created by Britain and then the Rockefellers ran with it to create Eugenics,
Watson at IBM to run the concentration camps, Corporatism and Politics to runs the Feudal Society.
Into the mix Hitler brought the Old Religion of Valhalla – it is good to die in battle – Sacrifice
and Sexual Ritual together with Berserker methamphetamines for the Army.
3 The Communist – Fascist dialectic of problem, reaction, solution is to create a feudal poverty-
stricken population.
The fact that this treaty was made long ago does not mean it is void. The treaty was placed in the
Congressional Record on April 25, 1916 by Senator Owen.
The mind of the Satanist is pure evil; the Satanist is a former person who has been transformed into
something no longer human. It begins like drug-addiction; the prospective recruit to Satanism “gets
into something” on a playful impulse, but then finds himself or herself gripped by compulsions –
through psychic implantation of addiction energy blockages – which he or she can no longer control.
“The DeMolay ritual makes a great hero of its namesake. He is held up as a paragon of manly virtue.
What the order’s ritual does not tell its young charges is that DeMolay was burned at the stake for
being a homosexual, a pedophile (lover of young boys), and for practicing witchcraft and worshiping a
false god named Baphomet!“
Front men for the 1000 years old 500 Trillion Dollar Vatican Bank – The Rothschilds – funded Adam
Weishaupt, founder of the ILLUMINATI died on November 18, 1834. Mazzini was appointed head of the
ILLUMINATI in 1834. In 1859, Mazzini chose the leader of the U.S. Scottish Rite Masonry, “Sovereign
Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry” Confederate General Albert Pike to coordinate secret ILLUMINATI
activities in the United States.[32] Pike designed the secret Satanic Masonic initiation rites and
rituals to create a secret super elite blood oath hierarchical “order within an order” of Freemasons
elevated to the ILLUMINATI.
“Pike was … a Satanist, who indulged in the occult, and possessed a bracelet he used to summon
Lucifer, with whom he had constant communication. He was the Grand Master of the Luciferian group
known as the Order of the Palladium (or Sovereign Council of Wisdom), which had been founded in Paris
in 1737.
The Palladian Rite injects demons to devolve, degenerate and take over participants in satanic ritual
sexual congress with Satanic Priestess Whores of Babylon. Palladism had been brought to Greece from
Egypt by Pythagoras in the fifth century [BC], and was this cult of Satan [Set-Seth] that was
introduced to the inner circle of the Masonic lodges. It was aligned with the Palladium of the
Templars.”[33]

Well the bot propoganda is in full swing, so in reply to the David Icke book publisher I have bought one ISBN 978-1-5272-0726-4 Everything you need to know but have never been told and have checked the cover and the inner page for the publisher, and it is David Icke Books, College Business Center, Derby, DE22 3WZ, DE22 3WZ UK tel/fax +440) 1983566002 email [email protected] registered at companies house at this URL (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03653820) established in 1998 with two name changes and has moved from Davids own home to this business address. In other words with other things in this statement there is blatent falsehood and so easily disproven – as long as you have got a book and are prepared to look – however If you check the original company it was founded with psydonyms and an illiterate mark ‘C’ instead of a signature and a 2 share company with each share owned by 2 shell companies, so David has created a little mystery of his own.
Ask yourself why would Druids that worshiped Nature destroy nature?; it is like I am saying; a degradation into psychopathy, psychopaths the energy stealer, the face of sanity only; the Mandrake, the hoaxers; the Hollywood fakers. /Satanism.
If you ask me the TRUTH is the Messiah. # “The truth will set you free” = ANOTHER UNDERSTANDING OF THINGS = REALITY, BECAUSE OF THE TRUTH. /Independent of the ruling priesthood. (slavers)

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
YEah it isn’t about pride, is it? God didn’t want to share the heavens unless you are dead.
But seriously, It is the Bible. Take everything with a grain of salt because it isn’t reliable
Even a cursory study of the formation of languages around the world will show that the various languages were formed independently and were based upon the varied physical environments and how they effected the ability of the human voice to carry sounds that could be clearly heard and understood over varied distances. A simple example would be the Polynesian languages that use the sounds of “Ka”,” La”, and “Ra” to a great extent and do not include an “Sss” sound in their vocabulary ,nor in their alphabet. Why? because they lived near the sea and the sounds of the sea would drown out an “ss” sound. Sorry, but ALL OF MANKIND NEVER EVER had ONE common language. Therefore this entire video begins with a fallacy, continues a fallacy. and ends as a fallacy.
It appears you have special knowledge of 7 or 8 thousand years ago that the rest of us don’t, eh?
Actually all mankind did speak one language until God divided them for trying to form their own salvation and not rely on Him.
