    The Tower of Babel is probably a myth. Language evolved over a long period of time. Not from some men trying to do the impossible.

    There is an ancient, long-abandoned city called Eridu in southern Iraq, the ruins of which include a ziggurat which, according to some archaeologists was the original Tower of Babel. "Bab-El" is a Sumerian phrase which means Gateway to El, who was the chief god in some of the Mesopotamian religions. However, the Sumerian region consisted of cities dominated by ziggurats which may have been called by the generic name Bab-El.

    The Hebrews adopted El as one of their gods (Notice the words, ELohim, IsraEL; EmmanuEL, Ezekiel, etc)

    I'm sure there are half a dozen tourist sites that claim so. It is unlikely that it occurred outside mythical time so an actual site will never be found.

    The tower of Babel stands right next to Jack's beanstalk just over the Mountains of Make Believe and beyond the Fairy Tale Sea

    Baghdad in Iraq. What made so different was the bricks were fired bricks and not sun dried brick. This meant stronger structure could be built. How high could it have been? Using building principle formulas it could be as high as one mile or even higher.

    Probably next to one of those Noah's Arks everyone keeps finding.
