This is my favorite of all the flag proposals so far. In addition to Jan's interpretation, here's mine: The building of Babel represents the striving for divinity through acts of creativity, which in this story resulted in the first splintering of human language. The star compass can both represent the goal of heaven and the fact that, after Babel, humans were spread to the four corners of the world. Ray Brown wrote:

That's my preference as well. Hats off to Pete for suggesting a testament to the Unknown Conlanger and hats off to BPJ for sharing the original passage. Best regards, Jeffrey
