| - The Bronze Age Tower of Babel was a serious threat to Jahweh.
- The Tower of Babel is a tower that is referred to in Genesis 11. For a time after the flood when the Earth's population began to grow the people all lived close together. At that time they all spoke the same language. The decided to live in Shinar. They did not want to be scattered, so they decided to build a city and a tower. They desired for the top of the tower to reach up into heaven.
- The endeavor was in violation of God's command given to Noah and his family to fill the earth. As a result, He judged the descendants of Noah, still speaking his original language, by confusing the languages between the different family groups to make cooperation impossible. Nearby Ur would be the home of some of the descendants of Shem, probably including his son Arphaxad (spelling suggest Ur-phaxad). It was there that Abram (later named Abraham) would be born.
- The Tower of Babel may have referred to the Great Ziggurat of Babylon. It was 91 metres (300 ft) tall, though wise men did not take the elevators all the way up to the seventh story, as the slaves pulling the ropes all had an attitude, and God help you if their palms got sweaty. Alexander the Great tore it down in 331 BCE and was going to rebuild it but died first, resulting in a situation comparable to Urban Renewal in Flint, Michigan.
- Babel is driven by five Ruins base by Aria (when she was held captive), and the Cosmos of all those who had the misfortune to rebel against the new regime in Mars (mainly students and teachers of the Palestra, among them Geki , Komachi and Arne). These "rebels" were held in stasis in a huge light pillar in the center of the tower, and pumped gradually of their Cosmos. 5 hearts destroy elementary sends the Cosmos to the Earth is round, according to Aria, a prerequisite before destroying it.
- Dilbert takes a sick to from work, much to the annoyance of Dogbert, who thinks a cold means he can still go to work. He gives Dilbert a placebo, but Dilbert refuses, saying he's close to curing the common cold. However, his machine explodes, and he opts for the placebo instead. At work, he, Alice, and Wally are working on The Gruntmaster 6000, but Alice and Wally are to sick to work, and Dilbert keeps spraying air freshener and anti-bacteriants to of a can.
- The Tower of Babel was the fortress of a powerful Cyberdemon Lord who was the apparent new ruler of Deimos, former moon of Mars, after it disappeared into Hell. The tower could be seen under construction on the surface of the moon by demonic forces as a lone space marine fought his way through the infested UAC Deimos Base. Eventually he discovered the finished Tower and defeated the Cyberdemon Lord.
- They don't like to describe it's height, pictures indicate that is tops the lower clouds (perhaps about a mile high) no one accounts for the effects of high altitude, so it isn't as tall as some natural mountains. Technology got people to the moon, and God must have known this, as God is omniscient. SInce the moon is substantially higher than a few miles (the tower's limit as the builders lacked high altitude equipment), God's stopping action didn't do all that much.
- Tower of Babel is the first fortress level in the Demon Realm. The player must make their way up the tower before fighting the Cyberdemon at the top. The level consists of four distinct areas. The first area is the tower's exterior, where you must navigate past enemies and around the structure to find a pipe that leads in. The second is a blood pool that leads into the tower, filled by demonic creatures. The third, and arguably most difficult, is the climb up the tower, which is riddled with instant-death lava and spike-laden walls while riding moving platforms. Last is the boss fight against the Cyberdemon.
- The Tower of Babel (Hebrew: מגדל בבל Migdal Bavel Arabic: برج بابل Burj Babil), according to the Book of Genesis, was an enormous tower built in the plain of Shinar, a tower so tall it offended God. According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower "with its top in the heavens...lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth." God came down to see what they did and said: "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do." So God said, "Come, let us go down and confound their speech." And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and c
- The Rigelians are being considered for Federation membership, even though there is still dispute among Federation members over the validity of the organisation. Archer and the Endeavour accompany a delegation from both powers to Babel, where the Federation will debate whether or not to accept Rigel as a member. Meanwhile, the Pioneer is sent to the Rigel system to learn more about their culture.
- However, the Tower of Babel was not built for the worship and praise of God, but was instead dedicated to the glory of man, to "make a name" for the builders: "Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'" (Genesis 11:4). The Book of Genesis then relates how God, displeased with the builders' intent, came down and confused their languages and scattered the people throughout the earth.
