A:Genesis 11:1-9 tells the story of the Tower of Babel. This was written during the Babylonian Exile. The exiled Jews, who had never before seen a great cosmopolitan city like Babylon, were in awe of the great ziggurut, a pyramid-like tower, and at the same time surprised to meet people who spoke so many different languages. They associated the tower, which seemed to reach the heavens, and the many strange languages, and so developed the story of the Tower of Babel. A myth is a widely accepted tradition that includes a supernatural element, as the story of the Tower of Babel does.
