According to the biblical narrative in Genesis, the Tower of Babel was built in a remarkably short time frame of 40 days because the people were united in their language and purpose, allowing for efficient collaboration. They aimed to construct a tower that would reach the heavens to make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered across the earth. However, their ambition prompted divine intervention, resulting in the confusion of languages and the halting of the construction. This story illustrates themes of human pride and the limits of human ambition in the face of divine authority.
