    I am reading this story called Tower of Babylon. Was there such a tower in history, and if so, does anyone have a website that shows what it looked like?

    		The great towering structures of Babylon were called ziggurats. There is significant evidence that these are what are refered to as the 'Tower of Babel'.

    These may also be the basis for the 'Hanging Gardens', though this is much less certain.
