This card is named after the Tower of Babel, which in the Biblical book of Genesis was a tower built in Babylon as an attempt to reach Heaven. However, God was upset by this, and so caused the tower to collapse, then divided up the people and spread them throughout the world, thus causing different languages and cultures in the process.
Others believe that the Tower of Babel may have been a step pyramid with a temple to the Babylonian god Moloch at the top.
Another take is instead of God spreading people throughout the world, he simply made them speak different languages. AKA when someone talks nonsense it's referred to as babbling.

OCG Rulings
Placing a Spell Counter when a Spell Card is activated does not make a Chain Link.: Tower of Babel
While this card is face-up on the field, place 1 Spell Counter on this card after resolving an activated Spell Card
You can move Spell Counters to "Tower of Babel"Pitch Black Power Stone", but if the 4th Spell Counter is placed on "Tower of Babel"Pitch Black Power Stone" or "Apprentice Magician", "Tower of Babel" is destroyed but no damage is inflicted.
"Tower of Babel" cannot blow up in the middle of a chain. If you wind up with 5 Spell Counters on "Tower of Babel" after a chain resolves, the player who caused the 4th Spell Counter to be placed takes the damage. So if you have "Tower of Babel" with 3 Spell Counters, and you activate "Pot of Greed", and your opponent chains "Reload", "Reload" resolves first and places the 4th Spell Counter, and your opponent takes the 3000 damage after the current chain resolves.
If "Mystical Space Typhoon" targets "Tower of Babel" with 3 Spell Counters, "Tower of Babel" is destroyed when "Mystical Space Typhoon" resolves, and never gets the 4th Spell Counter, so neither player takes damage.
