It's happened before in the past..

Genesis 11:9
On account of this it's name is called Babel, because Jehovah confused the lip of all the earth there.
And Jehovah scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth.

As...
They were trying to build their way up to the heavens and make a name for themselves..
When in reality, one can't take a shortcut by building their way up to heaven and placeing their names before Jehovah/God.
He restrained them and they stopped building.
