    tower of Babylon ?

    um, no. 1st, it was the Tower of Babel, not the Tower of Babylon.

    also, it was in what is now Iraq, about 50 miles south of Baghdad.

    Nimrod FTW

    Nimrod = the reason I had to learn 2 languages in grad school.

    Babel is the Hebrew word for Babylon.

    Babylon is about 50-60 miles south of Baghdad.

    You’re probably thinking of the ziggurat of Ur, which is the most complete ruins of a ziggurat extant, but there’s no historical evidence that that inspired the tower of bable, and there certainly were ziggurats in Babylon before the Persian invasion.

    Also, I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Combine Citadel.
