The Tower of Babel never really existed outside The Bible and certain Jewish midrashim. When the Jews arrived in Babylon during the Babylonian Exile, they were amazed to see the great stepped pyramid which, to their rustic eyes, seemed to go almost to heaven. They learnt of Sumerian epics that describe a time when all humans shared a single language until the gods intervened to create a confusion of tongues. Thus, Jewish lore syncretised these discoveries to create the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. The stepped pyramid no longer exists, but it was in Babylon, in what is now Iraq.

Was tower of Babel historical and was there only one language spoken in that particular timeline?
The Tower of Babel story from the Bible is considered a religious and mythological account rather than a historical event. There is no archaeological or historical evidence to support the existence of a tower reaching the heavens or the confusion of languages at a particular point in time. Additionally, it is unlikely that there was ever a single universal language spoken by all people. Language diversification is a gradual and ongoing process throughout human history.
