    It was known as the Encyclopedic Style. You painted everything into the painting that should have been there, thus you might have a ship in the distant background on a river. If you looked very closely, you would see sailors climbing the rigging and barrels roped together on deck.

      @@HarvardArchaeology Not only is that a blatant lie as he is never depicted as being fair skinned, Nimrod isnt a real person
      there is not a single historic non-biblical text or document that names him. which for a king, is almost entirely impossible. There is no evidence he exists, aside from the bible, which is largely agreed upon to be a fictional story about morals rather than a real, historical account of events.
      I will never understand people like you who try to lie about historical figures being black, its so degrading and, frankly, racist, as if there were no famous historical black people (they do exist), so you have to re-write history to say "Look!! That famous guy from history was black!!".

      Babel and Nimrod were long before the Babalonian Empire and Babylon. Is there any real knowledge about culture and clothing that reaches that far back? Definitely calling it the Middle East is not correct. That is a modern term with modern cultural associations. By the way, as far as I understand, Nimrod was a Nephilim, which would explain why he would want to avenge the death of the other Nephilim, which was the point of the flood according to 1 Enoch. But how Nimrod survived and where the post flood Nephilim came from (like Goliath and the rest that God instructed Israel to wipe out in the land after Moses died), I haven't heard anyone having any firm ideas about that.

Gen 11: 6-7: The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

      This painting is one of my favorites also. I think that its message is that human hubris is bound to fail in the face of God's omnipotence. Adam and Eve failed also not only for disobedience but for aspiring to God's omniscience,,,,,,,,

      Yes! It pertains to today. A point I was hoping the narrator would have recognized. As Josephus said at 1:55, this is just what is happening today. But instead she took it as an opportunity to trash the Catholic king. So typical of the post modern art historian.

    I always wondered why the Tower of Babel is usually portrayed as super stout and not crazy tall.
    Did people forget about mountains and think that would almost be high enough.
    Or did people want to show in these depictions how they couldn’t possibly have made it that high. And showing it taller and more accomplished would destroy the „moral“ of the story?
