A baked brick means something that is small enough to fit into and not crack when baked... So about the size of the bricks we use now.
bricks are far easier to repurpose than 400 ton granite blocks.
After all according to you even the great stone henge was repurposed all except the stuff too heavy to move/move very far. with this in mind what in your estimation should be left at the tower site that was made up of hand size bricks??
Not much, maybe. Foundations. Evidence of work crews living/being nearby. Other structures built out of the repurposed bricks. Maybe not much, but something. The same kind of evidence we find near the Pyramids, probably. Certainly more than you've offered here. "It could have happened this way," without evidence, is nothing more than a guess, regardless of how reasonable your ad hoc assumptions might be.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
