Did Alexander the Great rebuild the Tower of Babel?
Did Alexander the Great rebuild the Tower of Babel? Only a few turned to the surviving descriptions of what the tower actually looked like. One of these descriptions came from the attempt Alexander the Great made to rebuild the tower after he found it in ruins. (Some 10,000 workers cleared away the rubble but with Alexander's death in 322 B.C. the project stopped.)
Does anyone live in Babylon today?
Is Babylon inhabited today? No, but the site was once again open to tourists in 2009. However, after years of destruction, there is not much left of the historical ruins today. You can see the rebuilt ruins from Saddam Hussein's area.
Where is the Garden of Eden located?
It mentions a spring in the Garden which parts into four major rivers, including the Euphrates. This has led many, including Bible scholars, to conclude that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the middle eastern area known today as the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley, with its remains long ago vanishing.
