Who this is

Babel is the plain in Shinar where humanity, still speaking one language after the flood, attempted to build a city and a tower reaching to the heavens to make a name for themselves, and God responded by confusing their language and scattering them across the earth. The name is closely tied to Babylon, built in the same region and remembered throughout Scripture as a symbol of human pride set against God.
