Path of the Loneliness

The Tower of Babylon is not part of the "official" list of wonders of the world. However, it is one of the most outstanding structures of the ancient Babylon, and its name is still a symbol of confusion and disorder.

The Tower of Babylon is spoken of in the Book of Genesis, which was long before our era. In the country of Sennaar, in the basin of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, on a beautiful, unusually good land lived all the people inhabiting the Earth and spoke the same language. They were living better and better, and it made them proud. "And they told each other, we will make bricks and burn fire. And they had bricks instead of stones, and ground tar instead of lime. And they said, Let us build for ourselves a city and a tower high to the heavens; And we shall make ourselves a name before we disperse ourselves in the face of all the earth."

The tower was rising higher and higher until Yahweh was alarmed and decided to see what it was. Human pride led him into anger, and he mixed his tongues. And the builders stopped understanding each other by throwing away the piles of material and tools they had used, they gave up their defiant designs, and scattered all over the world.

This was supposed to be the story, but the story will change in a different direction. The plot of this newsletter will tell you about the times when high technology was rivaling, and in this turmoil, out of nowhere, there was a huge tower in the center of the Equator. So, and the story of this interesting (maybe not) novelty began.
