“ While the archaeological record is incompatible with this identification, many scholars believe that the biblical story was inspired by Etemenanki.”
The archaeological incompatibility is not verified in the body of the article. I request this sentence is simply removed. Would there be consensus on this? IncandescentBliss (talk) 13:40, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Add citations and represent multiple schools of thought[edit]
“Biblical scholars see the Book of Genesis as mythological and not as a historical account of events[25]” is a vast generalization with one citation. This is either sloppy or censorious. 69.130.9.115 (talk) 01:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for the moment, that one citation is more than you have provided. Reliable sources would assist your cause. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 01:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Popular Culture section could be updated with Supernatural, s06e20, in which Castiel references the Tower of Babel.
"I remember the Tower of Babel, all 37 feet of it, which I suppose was impressive at the time. And when it fell, they held divine wrath. But c'mon, dried dung can only be stacked so high." YshtolaRhul (talk) 00:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the section Comparative myths > Mexico, an edit must be made to switch "Central America" to "Latin America" as Mexico geographically does not belong to the area of Central America but to North America. Latinrocker2099 (talk) 19:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know of any historical, religious, or philosophical tradition or view that considers the story of the tower Babel - or its mythological counterparts - as parable… 66.108.4.206 (talk) 07:45, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
