Babylon was a tower in Iraq
Babylon was a city in what would one day become Iraq
There was a one world government at that time
That would explain all the other empire across central asia, the middle east, and north africa (Egypt, Assyria, etc.) at the time, wouldn't it?
Idiot
Thus Babylon=Iraq=NWO
Thus Aztlan=USA=Biscuits (i.e. Fail)

Point of the Babel myth was probably to explain why humans all speak different languages.

So close and yet so very, very, very far...
The Tower of Babel story is a way to explain why we all speak a different language.

Iraq was not in existence at the time. Second, you forget that there were other societies in existence around the world when Babylon was an empire.
You got anything else?

I'm reminded of when a fundie scolded me for watching Babylon 5 because she believed in this idiotic "Bablyon=NWO" connection. I still don't know what Hollywood Hogan had to do with things.

Babylon was a tower in Iraq. There was a one world government at that time.
Babylon was a city and also the name given to a bronze age empire. According to the Bible, the tower was in Shinar. No one knows exactly where Shinar was. There certainly was not one world government back then. The Babylonian empire was overrun by the Assyrians and the Persians. This ignores the Mycenians, the Indians, the Japanese, the Koreans and the Chinese, all of which were flourishing in those days.
The OP is right - there's no point to the story. There's no way a primitive culture could have build a tower of any height out of mud brick and bitumen. The pyramids were the highest structure man was capable of building in those days, and there's some evidence even they had to lower their ambitions (see Snefru's Bent Pyramid at Dahshur). God, if He was omniscient, would have known this and just snickered at their efforts. He didn't stop the Empire State Building or satellite launches.
