7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

—Genesis 11:4–9[1]

Man’s nomadic behavior is to naturally destroy and ruin him-self. He seeks infinite pleasure in the violence and destruction of intangible memory. He runs toward the evil darkness death of in hope of making his own promised land. He easily re-laspes into the past unknowingly possess a ritual of sorrow, guilt, and pain.  He knows his existence is limited. He knows he has no future. The GroundSKRAPER is a machine for excavating time and culture. The spiritual roots of man are hidden from himself because God decided to scorch the earth, flood its surface, and declare termination.
