This is Angela Odell and you are listening to real cool history for kids.

A podcast show featuring history told from a distinctly biblical world view perspective.

Welcome to an adventure.

Welcome to episode 97 of real cool history for kids.

This episode is for Lucy Richardson and Lillian Jones who both asked for an episode about

Queen Esther on the same day.

Hey Lucy and Lillian, here is your special episode.

I'm so excited to tell you guys this story because it's one of my favorites.

of where we are in history. You're going to need both of your hands.

To set the historical backdrop for today's story, I'm going to give you ten events

in order. So this is where you're going to need your fingers.

I've also put this in the episode information, so if you want to go back and listen again,

or if you want to read along, go ahead and you can do that now.

Okay, are you ready? Here we go. We're going to be traveling back way, way back to a familiar

landmark in history, the Tower of Babel. So hold up both your hands and start with your left

pinky finger. Wiggle your finger and say, man made a tower to heaven, disobeyed God.
