What country is the tower of Babel in?

Well the tower of Babel isn't in any country because it does not exist, I'm not saying it never did exist, just that it no longer exists. To answer your question though, I would have to say it was in Babylon, meaning it was somewhere in the middle east, probably Iraq or Iran.


How can you visit the tower of Babel?

Is there any connection between the Tower of Babel and the EU Parliament Building?

No. The Tower of Babel is building described in the Bible that is supposed to reach to heaven and demonstrate the power of man to replace God (which God proves fruitless) and the EU Parliament Building is a large legislative building that is not actually that tall and is designed to house individuals elected by various EU citizens.The only tangential relationship that I can think of is that both buildings are associated with massive human cooperation and linguistic diversity. However, in the case of the European Union, everything is done to foster communication between individuals with different languages and, in the case of the Tower of Babel, linguistic diversity was what prevented the completion of the original project.

How do you connect Tower of Babel and the Day of Pentecost?

Reputedly, all humanity spoke one language until they tried to build the Tower of Babel. When God destroyed the Tower he also 'gave' different languages so that humanity might never try to unite in this manner again. On Pentecost, the disciples spoke to a large multitude of people - "out of every nation under heaven" - and each one "heard them speak in his own language". ==== It's a good story, but not true. The rise of languages happened long before any possible date for the Tower of Babel.
