Some Very Compelling Evidence the Tower of Babel was Real

Film Focus: This video discusses the possibility that the Tower of Babel story was an historical building and not a myth. Through new evidence found on a stone tablet, the video examines this theory.

Text Focus: Pages 110-111

Discussion Questions:

  1. How old is the stone that is found in this video? How was it found? What does it say?
  2. How does the tower on the stone remind you of any other historical buildings? Why might they be similar?
  3. Do you think the theory presented in this video is a plausible theory? Why or why not?
  4. If you do not agree with the theory proposed by the video, do you think that there is any historical truth to the Tower of Babel? Explain your thinking.
