Synopsis

Whose Top Reached the Heavens begins 320 years after the resting of Noahs Ark. Naphem is a curious, intelligent, imaginative child who loves listening to the stories his grandfather Noah tells of the world before the catastrophic flood that swallowed the earth. His imagination fueled by a colorful antediluvian history, Naphem becomes increasingly less down to earth and more focused on understanding and recreating the worlds lost past. This curiosity leads to the discovery and excavation of a pre-flood city. Its secrets spark a quest in search of a place of concealed ancient knowledge. Finding nothing, Naphem and their leader, Nimrod, decide to found a great city where man would cease to scatter and to build a tower whose top reached the heavens. This act catches the eyes of five demonic spirits, who teach them how to literally bring their tower to the heavens. Naphem learns they are not ready.
