Corroborating testimony? Why don't other cultures tell the same story then? Why don't we see the story of the City of Babel in China? Why do other cultures have their own origins stories, when everyone supposedly originated from Noah on the ark? Why did the Greeks decide to go with Pandora's Box instead of a great flood? And surely the Native Americans would have kept these traditions.
Why did so many cultures worship fake gods, when God had flooded the world and everyone descended from Noah? Why did the Jews worship false idols when God had clearly sent the plagues? Why would Egyptians do the same? Why would Egyptians leave the ten plagues out of their history? These events would have had a profound impact on their lives. First born sons, losing their livestock. Remember the time Americans were embarrassed about the Great Depression and decided to leave it out? Neither do I!
God was so upset that people were building a tower... and now we've been to outer space. We've seen Pluto. If the people of that time were so advanced they could build an inter-dimensional gate, then we'd see at least one culture with significantly advanced technology. Those scientists would have had at least some knowledge of what they were doing. That knowledge and technology would not have been easily lost -- at least not all of it. And surely there would be mention of all the great technological advancements that were lost. Supposedly because people weren't able to figure out how to translate language or anything. You know, like we do today--and we're still not capable of building a gate that opens up another dimension. We're not even capable of determining if there IS another dimension such as heaven. Knowledge of the tools they'd had to have had to build such a tower as tall as it allegedly was would alone have advanced humanity greatly. And surely someone would have thought to take those tools with them, and continue using them.
Also those people never decided to try to learn to communicate with each other. Instead deciding to set off on their own.
Babel is just another story. One that doesn't really fit into history.
