Remains of a journey

“Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.
And it come to pass, as they journed from the east. That, they found a
plain in the land of Shinar And they dwelt there
Then they said to one another “Come let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly “They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar
And they said, “Come let us make ourselves a city, and a tower
whose top is in the heavens: Let us make a name for ourselves,
Lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth
But, the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the
Sons of man built
And the Lord said” Indeed the people are one and they all have
one language , and this is what they begin to do :now nothing that
they propose to do will be withheld from them
Come let us go down and there confuse their language , that they
may not understand one another's speech”
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all
the earth and thy ceased building the city “

This is a beautiful narration which elaborated in the book of Gneiss .This amazing story of the Babel tower has been optically elaborators by various artists in different periods . But , The depiction of tower seems to be demolished or yet to complete .In fact, the most recent 3 D Animation movie titled the Polar Express also dealt with an image of a mountain which is reminiscent the form of Babel tower here the representation of this gigantic form of tower seems to be complete . After the facing the various obstacles the infant hero and little friends overcome this gigantic mountain and reach to the Christmas celebration premises or to the heavenly altitude .throughout this work I juxtaposed or mix and match the conceptual substances of the Pieter Bruegel s Tower of Babel Polar Express, and Mantegna's painting
