Babel

25: Babel

This is really a warning about technology and its use to build empire. Baked bricks were a new thing and the use of tar as mortar as well. It must have been a wake up call for the neighbors of Babel. 

This story is not just about the past, but it is about now. Technology can be used for good, but it can also be used in destructive ways to oppress and dehumanize.
