Space Elevator... Cos it was meant to reach God [/quote] Well, go to google earth and put your view at about 1.54 miles above sea level. That's how tall it was if you were looking down from the top of it. [/quote] It wasnt finished when it was destroyed 1.54 miles is hardly a space elevator I know and its just my opinion but i think that was their intention but i agree... i think they were pretty far advanced [/quote] Yes, you are correct. It was not finished. A strong wind blew it down and they couldn't rebuild because their language was confounded and they could not understand each other, so they all got into groups of the same language and went their way...
