About Babel...

I researched about “Babel”. Our world used to have only one language. Then, why we have so many different languages now? According to the Biblical story, a great tower "the Tower of Babel" was built by a united humanity to reach the heavens. However, when God came down to see them building it, God got so angry at them for trying to get close to him and decided to create there different languages so that they could not understand one another and scattered them throughout the earth. As a result, they could no longer communicate and the work was halted.
