"At first, the people of the whole world had only one language and used the same words...They said to one another, "Come on! Let's make bricks and bake them hard ." They said now let's build a city with a tower that reaches the sky.." Genesis 11: 1-4

"Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which they had built and he said, "Now then, these are all one people and they speak one language: this is just the beginning of what they are going to do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want! Let us go down and mix up their language so that they will not understand each other." Genesis 11: 5-8

Why would the gods purposely confuse our language? Well, it is clearly written in the above scripture that some of these heavenly beings feared the advancement of homo sapiens to "gods level" & had to slow the progress of our ancestors. As we've seen in previous scripture God shortened man's lifespan to 120 years then sent the flood to reset humanity and now has purposely obscured language to all in order to delay human advancement. The question then becomes, why? What god(s) would be intimidated/threatened by our advancement?
