Ancient Civilizations: Season 1, Episode 4

1 - 4: Tower of Babel

Legends tells us that language once unified all of humanity, but a detrimental blunder led to this once-unifying force becoming a means of mass confusion. Beyond the biblical account, researchers found most modern languages do indeed stem from a singular matrix language. Could it be this mother language was a gift from ancient gods who seeded the birth of humanity and gave rise to ancient civilizations? By understanding the power of the spoken word and rediscovering this ancient, forbidden language, we may find returning to unification is an individual journey beholden with many paths to transcendence.
