The city ´s shield
At first there was not enough organization in the resolution to construct the Tower of Babel;In reality, perhaps the order was excensive.Too much thought about guides, interpreters, accommodations for laborers and communication routes as if they had centuries.
In those times, the con sensus of opinion was that it could not be built with too much slowness;A little more and they would have abandoned everything , and given up to lay the foundation.
The people reasoned this way:The heartof the matter of the company is the thought to construct a tower than reaches to heaven.The rest is completily secondary .That thought, once once his greatness was understood, is unforgettable:While there are men in the land, the strong desire to finish the tower will exist also.
Consequently the foture must not worry us.on the contrary:men´s knowledge advances the architecture has progressed and will keep on progressin;from here to a hundred years the work for which we specify one year will be made perhaps in few months, and more resistant..Then, what to tire us qut now?That would make sense if there is room for the tower will get finished in the space of a generation.That hope was impossible.
The most believable thing was that the new generation, with his superior knowledge, condemend the work of the previus generation and demolished all that advance, in order to restat.Such thoughts paralyzed energy,and they thought less of constructing the tower than of constructing a city for the laborers.
Eachnationality the best neughborhood,and this gave place to disputes than culminated in bloody fings.Those finghts did not have end;some leanders said that it would delaty the construction of the tower very much and others that it was worth it to wait so that peace was reestablished..But they not only spent the time in fighting;In the truces they dedicated themselves to embellishing the city, wicht provoked new envies and new fingts.
that is way it happened during the time of the first generation , but not one of the following was different;the technical dexterity only increaced and with it the warring desire .Although the second or third generation reconized the foolishness of a tower tht reaches up to heaven they were already too committed to abandon the work and the city.
the prediction that five sucussive blows of a gigantic fist will annihilate the city is present in all the legends and songs of that city.For that reason the coat of arms of the city includes a fist.
