I would tell William that The Tower of Babel is a story from the Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis, and while it is often associated with ancient Mesopotamia, it is considered more of a legendary structure than a piece of real architecture. The biblical account describes it being built in the land of Shinar (which is in modern-day Iraq), but it is believed to have never existed as a physical structure that can be visited today, as it is often viewed as a mythological tale. Therefore, it was destroyed, and he cannot visit it.
Your friend William asks you about The Tower of Babel. He has read about it in the Bible and wants to go see it someday. What would you tell William about this piece of Sumerian architecture?
