This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. So hello everyone. We are back with another episode of Universal History. Today we are going to talk

0:32.0

about the Tower of Babel, something that I find very interesting that I've been thinking about

0:36.6

for years. I can't wait to

0:38.2

get Richard's take on it. But before we start, I want to make a big announcement, which is that,
