The story of access to immortality takes two pathways that track through history and are still doing so today. The 2 major branches of this tree are the Judeo tradition and the Gnostic tradition. This story of access and restriction to immortality manifests itself in as wide a variety of subject matter as religion, ancient architecture, mythology, ufo/alien phenom, and even pop-culture and media. This is the "Legacy of Babel" - and this "legacy" is not dormant.
