Tower Of Babel Story As Told By The Choctaw Indians And The Cherokee
Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – The Biblical story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis explains why people speak different languages. The Choctaw, a Native American Indian tribe that traditionally lived in what is now southeastern Mississippi, also talk about what happened with the Tower of Babel.
The Cherokee also remember days when flooding threatened their homes, and they built a massive tower. Their stories are slightly different, but there are many similarities with the Biblical account.
According to the Bible, once, a very long time ago, people all over Earth were united and shared a single language.
