Eventually someone proposed that since there wasn't a possibility of the Tower of Babel of reaching high enough so the people could see and meet God a way must be found of having the bottom of the tower not start and rest on the Ground. After searching and exploring all of the then current technologies no way was discovered to engineer a Tower to the skies that did not rest solidly on the Ground.

Since no Tower of Babel was built to reach to the Sky the various peoples never had a common language, customs, mores or a common religion. In time the original Tower of Babel was dismantled as the common people used the bricks and blocks for foundation stones for their houses. walls for forts, and defense in time of wars. Later the Romans used the blocks and bricks to build uniform roads everywhere.

Now the Internet is in the early stages of connecting Jews, Christians and Muslims into a common peoples with the Hindu's, Buddhists, and secularists to evolve all into having a common language, customs, mores, and a common religion.

The Internet with the invisible social networks of believers is in the early stages of connecting all the Folks into being simpatico now that the technology has been devised to build a Tower to the sky without a foundation that rests on solid ground.
