A:The story of the Tower of Babel was added to Genesis quite late in Jewish history, during the Babylonian Exile. The exiled Jews, who had never before seen a great cosmopolitan city like Babylon, were in awe of the great ziggurut, a pyramid-like tower, and at the same time surprised to meet people who spoke so many different languages. They associated the tower, which seemed to reach the heavens, and the many strange languages, and so developed the story of the Tower of Babel.

Babel is believed to come from the Hebrew word "balal" meaning "to confuse" or "to jumble."
The Tower of Babel was built in Shinar on the plains. This is described as somewhere in the area of Mesopotamia, but no one actually knows exactly where.
