Tower of Babel Myth is NOT the origins of the languages of the planet.
"A carving of the Tower of Babel has been found on a stone tablet dating back over 2,500 years.
It comes from the newly published book Cuneiform Royal Inscriptions And Related Texts In The Schøyen Collection.

carved on cliff-faces in Lebanon at Wadi Brisa (which has two reliefs)

the origin of all languages on earth."

Being fully aware that we are not in any kind of agreement, I surmise that this dialog may be a waste for both of us. I do pray that your Creator gets your attention before you breathe your last. No reply needed.
What is God's "Real" Name?
There's a lot of controversy about God's Real Name and what it means. Over the years this is one of the top questions emailed:
"How do you really know God's Name means "I Will Be" instead of "I Am"?
