The Tower of Babel is a story about the fall of Babylon. In case you've forgotten Noah's great-grandson Nimrod became the boss of Babylon and he went on to build cities in Assyria, including the capital Nineveh.
Genesis 10:8-12Modern English Version (MEV)
8 Cush was the father of Nimrod. He became a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Even like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel,[a] Uruk, Akkad, and Kalneh in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, the city Rehoboth Ir, and Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).

The interesting thing is that Noah's family became the big wigs in the area but a lot of the Bible stories rant and whine about Babylon (Babel) being the rotten egg.
