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.

The Tower of Babel is famous for its biblical story in which humanity's attempt to build a tower reaching heaven leads God to confuse their language, causing them to scatter across the earth. This tale explains the origin of diverse languages and highlights themes of pride and unity.
The Tower of Babel is named after the biblical story in the Book of Genesis where God caused confusion among the people working on the tower causing them to speak different languages, leading to the tower being abandoned. Babel is believed to come from the Hebrew word "balal" meaning "to confuse" or "to jumble."
