In ancient Babylon lived a man called Nimrod. He was the founder and king of the first empire in the world.
According to historians, Nimrod was an aggressive man who devised a clever method to detach people from overreliance on a single deity and unite the fragments of a scattered populace.
So, under his direction, he supervised the construction of what was to be the world's tallest structure, the Tower of Babel. According to Jewish Antiquities, "the tower rose with speed beyond all expectations".
