  • Summary

  • The Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11 is a great example of a Mesopotamian myth. Archaeology has given us loads of ruins and artifacts to help us understand their purpose. In this episode, we look at language in those ancient times, other Tower of Babel myths, and learn a bit about ziggurats.
