Vigil of St. Matthew

I have looked up, and we have both huntergatherers even before Babel on my view happened, and pre-pottery Neolithic, same as in Babel (on my identification) under the earlier half of Babel, namely carbon dated 9500 to 9000 BC. Göbekli Tepe or Babel being in 9600 to 8600 BC, also carbon dated.

While Jericho is therefore older than my candidate for Babel, it cannot very well be Babel as a city on the Jordan is West of Euphrates.

So, some found the plain in the land of Mesopotamia, some went further South-West and made Jericho. These are not mentioned in the Bible.

But their architecture perhaps is …

The rooms have red or pinkish terrazzo-floors made of lime. Some impressions of mats made of reeds or rushes have been preserved. The courtyards have clay floors.

Abandoned building venture.

You find that at Göbekli Tepe.

Btw, if you think of “tower” it is not guaranteed that “tower, the top of which shall reach into heaven” was not meant to be what we now call a rocket.

In which case that would leave no structure. In the architectonic sense.
