SUMMARYA tower to reach the sky: Babel and Cholula (Nov 8, 2026; Enoch research)
RECORD (Genesis 11:4, KJV)"let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven."
RECORD (Pedro de los Ríos, written before 1565, in the Codex Vaticanus A commentary, via Colavito)"The gods beheld, with wrath, an edifice the top of which was to reach the clouds."
RECORD (Durán, via Bancroft)"they determined to build a tower so high that its summit should reach the sky." The builder is named Xelhua, one of seven giants who survived the flood, and the gods "hurled fire on the pyramid."
DISPUTEDJason Colavito argues the story was shaped by Christian teaching given to Durán's informants. Status-quo check: that claim needs its own receipt too; the tellings name local people and places (Xelhua, Cholula, Tlachihualtepetl), not Bible names
