The Tower of Babel was first described in a story in the Book of Genesis (chapter 11) to explain the existence of different languages and cultures. According to the story, a united human race speaking a single language migrates to Shinar (Lower Mesopotamia), where they agreed to build a great city with a tower that would reach the sky. Yahweh, observing these efforts and remarking on humanity's power in unity, confounded their speech so that they could no longer understand each other and scattered them around the world, leaving the city unfinished. Some modern scholars have associated the Tower of Babel with known historical structures and accounts, particularly from ancient Mesopotamia. Inspired by the story of Babel, the artists of Anderson Design Group have created a Fantasy Travel Poster depicting the titanic structure as it may have appeared just before construction was halted. This original hand-illustrated print will make a great gift for any history, Bible, or travel buff. This inspiring design will make an epic accent as a poster, canvas, metal sign, postcard, or note card.
