Nimrod* would be proud!

In Bible and History today, we discussed the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel was probablly a ziggurat, because that was the common temple tower in the land of Babylon at the time. The architecture of ziggurats resembles pyramids, without the smooth sides. Following our lessons, Caleb and Abigail build a ziggurat out of Legos, complete with temple entrance.

*Nimrod was the Hamitic ruler that unified the people to build the tower.
