The tower of Babel was a project to undermine God - in my world, the work of either demons or Fallen Angels, though the story as we remember it seems to think it was humanity's hubris? Either way, the sheer number of humans working on the tower was the only reason it was succeeding as well as it did, so God had the tower destroyed.
To prevent the demons or Fallen Angels or...overzealous rulers... [It's clear he doesn't think humans have the initial blame here.] ...from taking advantage of the masses again, He split the one language we all once shared into many.
I...I was there, but it was a very long time ago. I don't recall the details clearly. I do remember watching the tower crumble, however... Ah- in any case, Lucifel is my friend's name in the original tongue. His was the only name I know that didn't survive the split unchanged; its components live on in the names Helel and Lucifer.
