Josephus provides an interesting insight into the building of the Tower of Babel (or the Tower of Babylon, as he would have it):
Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah... He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach! and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers!
- Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 1.4.2
