It was built in the new kingdom of Babylon in the two river basins, presided over by King Nebuchadnezzar II, the emperor who built the famous "Hanging Garden". At the beginning of the 6th century BC, New Babylon destroyed the Jewish kingdom and returned to China with a large number of prisoners to build the Babel.
In the 6th century BC, the Persian Empire, which rose on the Iranian plateau, expanded westward and destroyed Babylon and Babel. Since then, the image of Babel only exists in written records and paintings.
Archaeological historians of later generations believe that Babel is a building in the kingdom of Babylon that worships the stars, serves the gods and connects heaven and earth. The word Babel means "Kamino Cardo" in Babylonian. Because the Jews hated the Babylonian kingdom that enslaved them cruelly, they regarded Babel as a sin and wrote it into the Christian creation myth.
According to the Old Testament, the Tower of Babel was a huge tower built by people who used the same language in order to reach the sky after the flood, which alarmed God. Therefore, in order to disintegrate human unity, God destroyed the Tower of Babel and let people all over the world use different languages and live in different races.
