Artist's Comments

According to the Bible, originally “the whole earth was of one language” (Gen. 11:1). An ambitious humanity congregated in Shinar (Babylon), and set about to build a great tower, the height thereof reaching unto heaven. Intent on making a “name” for themselves, and remaining relatively localized—in direct disobedience to Jehovah’s command to fill the earth (Gen. 1:28; 9:1)—the project was begun. The divine Godhead was displeased with the unholy enterprise, hence declared: “Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech” (Gen. 11:7). The sacred decree was implemented, human languages were born, and men were scattered abroad upon the face of the earth (Gen. 11:8).

Wow! I've never seen such a place. The title IS very fitting. I can't imagine living so close to so many people.
