From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Babel, tower of
      the name given to the tower which the primitive fathers of our
      race built in the land of Shinar after the Deluge (Gen. 11:1-9).
      Their object in building this tower was probably that it might
      be seen as a rallying-point in the extensive plain of Shinar, to
      which they had emigrated from the uplands of Armenia, and so
      prevent their being scattered abroad. But God interposed and
      defeated their design by condounding their language, and hence
      the name Babel, meaning "confusion." In the Babylonian tablets
      there is an account of this event, and also of the creation and
      the deluge. (See {CHALDEA}.)
     
         The Temple of Belus, which is supposed to occupy its site, is
      described by the Greek historian Herodotus as a temple of great
      extent and magnificence, erected by the Babylonians for their
      god Belus. The treasures Nebuchadnezzar brought from Jerusalem
      were laid up in this temple (2 Chr. 36:7).
     
         The Birs Nimrud, at ancient Borsippa, about 7 miles south-west
      of Hillah, the modern town which occupies a part of the site of
      ancient Babylon, and 6 miles from the Euphrates, is an immense
      mass of broken and fire-blasted fragments, of about 2,300 feet
      in circumference, rising suddenly to the height of 235 feet
      above the desert-plain, and is with probability regarded as the
      ruins of the tower of Babel. This is "one of the most imposing
      ruins in the country." Others think it to be the ruins of the
      Temple of Belus.
