The Tower of Babel, as described in The Bible's Book of Genesis, was built by humanity to make a name for themselves and prevent their dispersion across the earth. The builders aimed to reach the heavens and establish a shared identity and culture. However, God intervened by confounding their language, leading to their scattering and the eventual abandonment of the project. Thus, it was built for the collective ambition of humanity rather than for a specific deity or purpose.

The Bible does not provide a specific age for Noah at the time the Tower of Babel was built. According to the genealogies in Genesis, Noah lived for 350 years after the flood, which occurred when he was 600 years old. The Tower of Babel story follows the flood narrative, but the exact timeline of events is not detailed, making it impossible to determine Noah's age during the construction of the Tower of Babel.
That is difficult to estimate, but here are some considerations... The tower of Babel was built somewhere between 2247 BC and 952 BC. [1] Abraham was born and died between: approx 2000 B.C. and 1500 B.C. [2] At age 175, Abraham dies and is buried in Macpelah [2] so... to ballpark it... If the Tower of Babel was finished being built in 1600 BC and If Abraham was born in 1750 BC and died in 1575 BC then... Abraham would have been 150 years old when the Tower of Babel was finished.
The Tower of Babel is traditionally considered to have occurred after the Flood, as described in the Book of Genesis. The narrative of the Flood is found in Genesis chapters 6-9, while the story of the Tower of Babel is in Genesis 11:1-9. This places the Tower of Babel in the post-flood timeline of biblical history.
