The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- According to the story, a united human race speaking a single language migrates to Shinar, where they agree 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, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other and scatters them around the world, leaving the city unfinished.
- Modern scholars have commonly associated the Tower of Babel with known historical structures and accounts, particularly from ancient Mesopotamia.
