MythicTower of Babel / Babylon: three towers, not one
UBBablot → Bablod → Babel → Babylon
Bablot → Bablod → Babel → Babylon = Tower of Babel / Babylon: three towers, not one
The Connection
Genesis describes one Tower of Babel. The UB describes THREE attempts over 150,000+ years. Tower 1: Bablot's tower (~150,000 years ago), destroyed by civil war between three factions (77:3.1-8). Tower 2: Andite attempt on the ruins (~10,000 BCE), collapsed under its own weight (77:3.9). Tower 3: Barbarian cavalrymen in Babylon adopted the name and tried again (78:8.4). The "confusion of tongues" is the degraded memory of the three-faction dispute.

Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)
The original Bablot was near the first Dilmun (Persian Gulf coast, likely southern Iran). The name migrated: Bablot → Bablod → Babel. The third attempt was in historical Babylon on the Euphrates (modern Iraq). The Genesis narrative compressed all three into one event with divine language confusion replacing the actual cause: a civil war over purpose.
