Skyscrapers that fell flat

Kenya: A well-known Biblical story tells of an attempt by the people of God to build what was to be the world’s first tallest structure the Tower of Babel. According to German archaeologist Walter Andrae, the shrine at the top of the tower was meant to be the “gate through which God descends the staircase to reach his earthly dwelling place”.

Unfortunately, the construction was never completed due to ensuing linguistic confusion after God scattered their effort.
