The Babel Tower is connected to Babylon, which means "the door of God," but the author of "The Book of Genesis" turns around. It is believed to have been used with Balal in mind, which means 'to confuse'. In the Old Testament, Babel symbolizes a society that has abandoned God. Genesis has a short and very dramatic anecdote about the Tower of Babel, and it has built up a tall, huge tower and casts a curse on several languages that were originally one God, angered by the arrogant acts of humans trying to reach the sky. The construction of the Tower of Babel eventually came to an end in chaos, and the humans who wanted to build it were scattered around the world with different languages amid distrust and misunderstanding.
