Archaeologists have discovered the first material evidence of the existence of the Tower of Babel - an ancient tablet dating back to the 6th century BC. The plate depicts the tower itself and the ruler of Mesopotamia Nebuchadnezzar II.
The memorial plaque was found almost 100 years ago, but only now scientists have begun to study it. The find became an important proof of the existence of the tower, which, according to biblical history, caused the appearance of different languages on earth.
Scientists suggest that the construction of the biblical tower was begun near Nabopalasar during the reign of King Hammurali (about 1792-1750 BC). However, the construction was completed only 43 years later, during the time of Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC).
Scientists report that the content of the ancient tablet coincides in many respects with the biblical story. In this regard, the question arose - if the tower actually existed, then how true is the story with the wrath of God, which deprived people of a common language.
Perhaps someday the answer to this question will also be found.
