Description
- According to the Bible, in Chapter 11 of Gensis, Verse 6, the tower was built by a united human race in order to make a name for themselves.

- At the height listed in the Third Apocalypse of Baruch the tower would be the tallest structure built in human history until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.
