Jewish tradition and commentary relates that, in promulgating the idea to build a tower, the instigators claimed that it was to promote unity among the descendants of Noah, to remind them that they all came from one ancestor. Actually, however, the leaders intended to make the Tower the center of an idolatrous cult, and they did just that.

How was the Tower of Babel built?
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 simply built from bricks.
