Episode #4 – The Stairway FOR Heaven

There is a famous song by Led Zeppelin titled “A Stairway to Heaven.” I wonder if Led was influenced by the misunderstanding of the story of the Tower of Babel when he wrote this popular piece of music. After having the opportunity to see the place and the base of the structure that symbolized sacred space in the ancient world, I am convinced that what we call in English the Tower of Babel was actually an invitation for the pagan gods to visit earth. Unfortunately, for the poor pagans who lived on the plains in biblical Iraq, the one true God RSVPed, came down the stairway FOR heaven, and the rest is history!
