Does the Tower of Babel really exist?
The Tower of Babel according to the Book of Genesis, was a tower built in the plain of Shinar; a biblical geographical locale of uncertain boundaries in Mesopotamia. The Greek form of the name Babylon is from the native Akkadian Bāb-ilim, which means "Gate of the god", which summarizes the religious purpose of the great temple towers. Alternately, the Hebrew version of the name of the city and the tower, Babel, is attributed in Gen. 11:9 to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood and speaking a single language came to the land of Shinar where they resolved to build a city with a tower [of Babel]. God came down to see what they did and realizing that united, people were too "strong" decided to go down on Earth and confound their speech; thus they were scattered upon the face of the Earth, every single race having their own language. The Tower of Babel has often been associated with known structures such as the Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated to Marduk by Nabopolassar (c. 610 BC); However, the Great Ziggurat of Babylon base was square (not round). The ruins of the city of Babylon are said to be near Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq. However, the account in Genesis makes no mention of any destruction of the tower; they simply scatter and stop building it. In other sources, though, such as the Book of Jubilees, God overturns the tower with a great wind. The narrative in the book of Genesis does not mention how tall the Biblical tower was. The phrase used to describe the tower, "its top in the sky", was an idiom for impressive height.The tower's height is discussed in various extra-canonical sources, I.E:The Book of Jubilees. It mentions the tower's height as being 5,433 cubits and 2 palms, or 2,484 m (8,149.606 ft), roughly 1.6 miles high. All in all, considering the multiple versions and writings detailing the Tower of Babel and the big divergence in the details and facts on the matter, one can assume the tower to be "surreal", for lack of better words. Whether or not it did exist is up to you but if it did, one can be certain it was a number of millenia ago and the ruins are most likely not to be found anytime soon.
